Patent number: 12046536Abstract: An integrated circuit package includes a first die and second die above a substrate, and a vapor chamber above at least one of the first and second die. A vapor space within the vapor chamber is separated into at least a first section and a second section. The first section may be over the first die, and the second section may be over the second die, for example. The structure separating the first and second sections at least partly restricts flow of vapor between the first and second sections, thereby preventing or reducing thermal cross talk between the first and second dies. In some cases, an anisotropic thermal material is above one of the first or second die, wherein the anisotropic thermal material has substantially higher thermal conductivity in a direction of a heat sink than a thermal conductivity in a direction of a section of the vapor chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Je-Young Chang, James C.

Publication number: 20240002451Abstract: 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. Based on the peptide sequence of the present disclosure, a fusion protein with broad-spectrum triple tandem peptides of SARS-CoV-2 is prepared using PCR, prokaryotic expression and protein purification technology to simulate the trimeric mode of SARS-CoV-2 S protein in its natural state. The fusion protein is used as an antigen to immunize mice, and can produce a specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody. The neutralizing antibody may be promising in anti-infective treatment, vaccine development and detection kit development for SARS-CoV-2.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2021Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Jianqiang YE, Tuofan LI, Qiuqi KAN, Aijian QIN, Zhimin WAN, Hongxia SHAO, Quan XIE
