  • Patent number: 11291919
    Abstract: Technologies for executing a virtual character development application using machine learning are described herein. In typical simulation applications, a user may be enabled to create a virtual character and navigate a virtual world. A typical simulation application may accept inputs from the user, determine actions initiated by the user based on the inputs, determine subsequent outcomes of the user-initiated actions, and mold the simulation according to the outcomes. However, most outcomes may be predetermined and predictable by design. In contrast, some embodiments may include a server configured to execute a virtual character development application in conjunction with one or more client devices. A user may utilize a client device to create and develop a virtual character within the application. The user may be enabled to provide inputs to the virtual character development application, and the artificial component may process the input and extract information associated with the virtual character.

    Abstract: A semiconductor package formed utilizing a removable backside protective layer includes a leadframe, a die pad, leads and a molding compound around them. The first surface of the die pad and leads are exposed to an external environment by the plurality of recesses. The recesses are formed by coupling a removable backside protective layer to the leadframe before applying the molding compound. After the molding compound is applied and cured, the backside protective layer is removed to expose the first surface of the die pad and the first surfaces of the leads so the semiconductor package may be mounted within an electronic device. The removable backside protective layer protects the die pad and the leads from mold flashing and residue when forming the semiconductor package during the fabrication process.
