  • Patent number: 11201066
    Abstract: Described herein are methods of manufacturing dual-sided packaged electronic modules to control the distribution of an under-fill material between one or more components and a packaging substrate. The disclosed technologies include using a dam on a packaging substrate that is configured to prevent or limit the flow of a capillary under-fill material. This can prevent or limit the capillary under-fill material from flowing onto or contacting other components or elements on the packaging substrate, such as solder balls of a ball-grid array. Accordingly, the disclosed technologies control under-fill for dual-sided ball grid array packages using a dam on a packaging substrate.

  • Patent number: 11017292
    Abstract: Artificial neuron apparatus includes first and second resistive memory cells. The first resistive memory cell is connected in first circuitry having a first input and output. The second resistive memory cell is connected in second circuitry having a second input and output. The first and second circuitry are operable in alternating read and write phases to apply a programming current to their respective memory cells on receipt of excitatory and inhibitory neuron input signals, respectively. During the write phase, resistance of the respective cells is changed in response to successive excitatory and inhibitory neuron input signals. During the read phase, a read current is applied to their respective cells to produce first and second measurement signals, respectively. An output circuit connected to the first and second outputs produces a neuron output signal at a neuron output when a difference between the first and second measurement signals traverses a threshold.
