  • Patent number: 10734364
    Abstract: A lighting arrangement includes at least a first and a second LED lighting element arranged next to each other on a carrier surface. The spacer element has, at least in a portion thereof which is in contact with the second LED lighting element, a width which is less than 20% of a width of the first LED lighting element. The first LED lighting element comprises a spacer element projecting into a direction in parallel to the carrier surface. The second LED lighting element is arranged in contact with the spacer element such that it is arranged aligned relative to the first LED lighting element, and such that the first and second LED lighting elements are arranged at a distance forming a gap between the first and second LED lighting elements.

  • Patent number: 10720402
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip includes a chip body and a plurality of solder-including electrodes provided on an element-formation surface of the chip body. A packaging substrate includes a substrate body, and one or more conductive layers and a solder resist layer that are provided on a front surface of the substrate body. The solder resist layer is provided as a continuous layer on the front surface of the substrate body and the one or more conductive layers, and has one or more apertures on each of the one or more conductive layers. The plurality of solder-including electrodes include two or more first electrodes having a same function other than a function of power supply. The one or more conductive layers include a continuous first conductive layer. The two or more first electrodes are connected to the continuous first conductive layer. The one or more apertures are confronted with the respective two or more first electrodes.

  • Patent number: 10720694
    Abstract: An antenna carrier plate structure has a first circuit board and a second circuit board. The first circuit board has a first substrate and a conductive connector disposed in the first substrate. The conductive connector has two opposite connecting ends respectively protruding from two opposite surfaces of the first substrate. The second circuit board has a second substrate formed with a through hole, and a connecting plug is disposed in the through hole. One end of the connecting plug is formed with an engaging concave portion for engaging one end of the conductive connector of the first substrate. Therefore, each circuit board can be firmly fixed and electrically connected by engaging to form a multi-layer circuit board module, thereby avoiding joint tolerances during soldering and ensuring a correct connection of the joints.

  • Patent number: 10707197
    Abstract: A three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit (3D SIC) that can have at least a first 3D XPoint (3DXP) die and, in some examples, can have at least a second 3DXP die too. In such examples, the first 3DXP die and the second 3DXP die can be stacked. The 3D SIC can be partitioned into a plurality of columns that are perpendicular to each of the stacked dies. In such examples, when a first column of the plurality of columns is determined as failing, data stored in the first column can be replicated to a second column of the plurality of columns. Also, for example, when a part of a first column of the plurality of columns is determined as failing, data stored in the part of the first column can be replicated to a corresponding part of a second column of the plurality of columns.
