  • Publication number: 20240136346
    Abstract: A semiconductor die package includes an inductor-capacitor (LC) semiconductor die that is directly bonded with a logic semiconductor die. The LC semiconductor die includes inductors and capacitors that are integrated into a single die. The inductors and capacitors of the LC semiconductor die may be electrically connected with transistors and other logic components on the logic semiconductor die to form a voltage regulator circuit of the semiconductor die package. The integration of passive components (e.g., the inductors and capacitors) of the voltage regulator circuit into a single semiconductor die reduces signal propagation distances in the voltage regulator circuit, which may increase the operating efficiency of the voltage regulator circuit, may reduce the formfactor for the semiconductor die package, may reduce parasitic capacitance and/or may reduce parasitic inductance in the voltage regulator circuit (thereby improving the performance of the voltage regulator circuit), among other examples.

  • Publication number: 20230058158
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an automated iterative predictive modeling computing platform that iteratively requests additional data from external data sources to iteratively generate a more accurate insurance premium estimation. In some instances, the automated iterative predictive modeling computing platform may generate an insurance premium estimation using affordable insurance data and using estimated data in place of missing data. If the insurance premium estimation does not meet predefined confidence thresholds, the automated iterative predictive modeling computing platform may retrieve additional data that is more expensive but also has a likelihood to generate a more accurate insurance premium estimation. This process may be repeated using different data sets from different external data sources until a sufficiently accurate insurance premium estimate is generated by the automated iterative predictive modeling computing platform.

    Abstract: A bug zapper includes a body, a fan and a light source. The body has a compartment, an opening, a channel arranged between the compartment and the opening, and a coupling portion arranged between the compartment and the channel. The channel is formed by an enclosed reflection wall and gradually expands from the coupling portion towards the opening. The fan is coupled with the coupling portion. The light source is mounted on a location of the body adjacent to the fan and irradiates light in the channel. As such, the efficiency in attracting the mosquitoes is outstanding, and the negative effect to the human is reduced.
