Abstract: A semiconductor package is provided. The semiconductor package includes a heat dissipation substrate including a first conductive through-via embedded therein; a sensor die disposed on the heat dissipation substrate; an insulating encapsulant laterally encapsulating the sensor die; a second conductive through-via penetrating through the insulating encapsulant; and a first redistribution structure and a second redistribution structure disposed on opposite sides of the heat dissipation substrate. The second conductive through-via is in contact with the first conductive through-via. The sensor die is located between the second redistribution structure and the heat dissipation substrate. The second redistribution structure has a window allowing a sensing region of the sensor die receiving light. The first redistribution structure is electrically connected to the sensor die through the first conductive through-via, the second conductive through-via and the second redistribution structure.

Abstract: A package structure includes a thermal dissipation structure, a first encapsulant, a die, a through integrated fan-out via (TIV), a second encapsulant, and a redistribution layer (RDL) structure. The thermal dissipation structure includes a substrate and a first conductive pad disposed over the substrate. The first encapsulant laterally encapsulates the thermal dissipation structure. The die is disposed on the thermal dissipation structure. The TIV lands on the first conductive pad of the thermal dissipation structure and is laterally aside the die. The second encapsulant laterally encapsulates the die and the TIV. The RDL structure is disposed on the die and the second encapsulant.

Abstract: Provided is a composition including a lactic acid bacterium and a carrier thereof for prophylaxis or treatment of an allergy. The lactic acid bacterium is Lactobacillus paragasseri, such as Lactobacillus paragasseri BBM171 deposited under DSMZ Accession No. DSM 34311. Also provided is a method for preventing or treating an allergy in a subject that includes administering an effective amount of the composition of Lactobacillus paragasseri to the subject.

Abstract: An antenna array may be provided. The antenna array comprises N radiating elements and M phase shifters, where M is less than N. N may be an integer greater than or equal to three. M may be an integer greater than or equal to two. The N radiating elements may be arranged linearly. Two adjacent radiating elements may be separated substantially by an integer multiple of a first spacing. The N radiating elements may be grouped into a first number of groups, wherein each of the groups comprises at least one and at most M adjacent radiating elements. The N radiating elements may be connected to the M phase shifters in such a way that: one radiating element is connected to at most one phase shifter; and two sequential radiating elements connected to the same phase shifter are separated by a second spacing, the second spacing being substantially an integer multiple of M multiplied by the first spacing.

Abstract: A method for producing elastic vesicles enveloping active ingredients includes pre-emulsification of a formulation of elastic vesicles and a homogenization step. The pre-emulsification of a formulation of elastic vesicles includes heating and uniformly mixing water of a water phase of the formulation and active ingredients until the active ingredients completely dissolve in the water, and adding an oil phase of the formulation premixed with edge activators to accomplish the pre-emulsification. The homogenization step includes using a device for miniaturizing or nanometerizing particles to proceed with disruption and homogenization.

Abstract: A water-permeable pipe includes inner and outer tubular units cooperatively defining an outer passage therebetween. Each tubular unit includes a water-permeable outer layer coated with a waterproof inner layer, two end portions, and an interconnecting member including a plurality of spaced apart joints that interconnect the end portions. The end portions of the inner tubular unit are diametrically opposite to the end portions of the outer tubular unit. Each adjacent pair of the joints define an interstice therebetween that permits water to flow therethrough and that fluidly communicates an inner passage in the inner tubular unit and the outer passage, and the outer passage and an external environment, respectively.
