Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of virus immunoassay and provides a broad-spectrum peptide antigen of SARS-CoV-2, a specific neutralizing antibody and use thereof. A broad-spectrum peptide antigen of SARS-CoV-2, with an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, reacts with human SARS-CoV-2 positive serum, and can specifically bind to a novel coronavirus antibody.

Abstract: An integrated heat spreader includes channel structures assembled in a frame. Each channel structure is independent of the other, and can be used to dissipate heat from integrated circuitry at a specific location within a package, and without allowing heat from that particular location to propagate to integrated circuitry at other locations within the package. Each channel structure can be implemented with metal having a high thermal conductivity (e.g., copper). The channel structures can be used in conjunction with liquid-based cooling or air-based cooling. The frame can be implemented with low thermal conductivity molding compound or plastic so the heat transfer from one channel structure to another is inhibited. The channel structures can have different configurations (e.g., straight, pillars, and/or pin fins) to provide different rates of flow, mixing, and/or cooling. The flow direction of air or liquid for the channel structures can be the same (parallel) or different (counter).

Abstract: Heat dissipation techniques include using metal features having one or more slanted or otherwise laterally-extending aspects. The metal features include, for example, tilted metal pillars, or metal bodies or fillets having an angled or sloping sidewall, or other metal features that extend both vertically and laterally. Such metal features increase the effective heat transfer area significantly by spreading heat in the in-plane (lateral) direction, in addition to the vertical direction. In some embodiments, slanted trenches are formed in photoresist/mold material deposited over a lower die, using photolithography and a multi-angle lens, or by laser drilling mold material deposited over the lower die. The trenches are then filled with metal. In other embodiments, metal features are printed on the lower die, and then molding material is deposited over the printed features. In any such cases, heat is conducted from a lower die to an upper die and/or an integrated heat spreader.
