Abstract:
An inductor may include a planar ferrite core. A first group of one or more grooves is formed in a first side of the ferrite core. A second group of two or more grooves is formed in a second side of the ferrite core. The grooves in the first and second groups are oriented such that each groove in the first group overlaps with two corresponding grooves in the second group. A first plurality of vias communicates through the ferrite core between the first and second sides of the ferrite core. Each via is located where a groove in the first group overlaps with a groove in the second group. A conductive material is disposed in the first and second groups of grooves and in the vias to form an inductor coil.
Abstract:
The present invention features a power semiconductor package and a method of forming the same that includes forming, in the body, a stress relief region disposed between a pair of mounting regions and attaching a semiconductor die in each of the mounting regions. The semiconductor die has first and second sets of electrical contacts with the first set being on a first surface of the semiconductor die and the second set being disposed upon a second surface of the semiconductor die opposite to the first surface. The first set is in electrical communication with the mounting region. Walls are formed on outer sides of the pair of mounting regions, defining a shaped body, with the shaped body and walls defining an electrically conductive path that extends from the first set and terminates on side of the package common with the second set.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for attaching an interconnection plate to semiconductor die within leadframe package. A base leadframe is provided with die pad for attaching semiconductor die. An interconnection plate is provided for attachment to the base leadframe and semiconductor die. Add a base registration feature onto base leadframe and a plate registration feature onto interconnection plate with the registration features designed to match each other such that, upon approach of the interconnection plate to base leadframe, the two registration features would engage and guide each other causing concomitant self-aligned attachment of the interconnection plate to base leadframe. Next, the interconnection plate is brought into close approach to base leadframe to engage and lock plate registration feature to base registration feature hence completing attachment of the interconnection plate to semiconductor die and forming a leadframe package.
Abstract:
In one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for retrieving certain electronic information previously stored on certain storage media after a threshold set in the storage retention criteria has been exceeded in an electronic information storage system that stores electronic information on storage media in accordance with a storage retention criteria is provided. The method includes storing a record in a memory associated with a system manager that assigns the storage retention criteria to the certain electronic data, designating the storage media available for overwrite after the threshold set in the storage retention policy has been exceeded, identifying the certain storage media available for overwrite, and retrieving information from the certain media after the threshold set in the storage retention policy has been exceeded.
Abstract:
A method in a computer system for retrieving data from one of multiple copies of the data is provided, referred to as the data management system. The data management system receives a request identifying at least one data object to be accessed. Then, the data management system queries a metabase to locate data copies that contain the identified at least one data object, wherein the data copies are created from similar source data, and wherein for each data copy the metabase contains an indication of the availability of the copy relative to other copies. Next, the data management system determines one of the located data copies to use to access the identified at least one data object, wherein the determination is made based on the indicated availability contained in the metabase for each of the located data copies. Then, the data management system accesses the identified at least one data object using the determined one of the located data copies.
