Abstract: An object of the present technology is to prevent damage in a bonded portion between a semiconductor chip and a substrate in a semiconductor device in which the semiconductor chip is mounted on the substrate.
A terminal is disposed between an electrode of an element and an electrode of a substrate on which the element is mounted, and electrically connects the electrode of the element and the electrode of the substrate. The terminal includes a plurality of unit lattices and a coupling portion. The unit lattices included in the terminal are formed by bonding a plurality of beams in a cube shape. The coupling portion included in the terminal couples adjacent unit lattices among the plurality of unit lattices.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, an information processing system, and a program capable of appropriately evaluating an object recognition filter by simpler processing. A generation unit that generates teacher data of a preprocessing filter provided in a preceding stage of the object recognition filter is generated by a cyclic generative adversarial network (Cyclic GAN) that is unsupervised learning. The teacher data generated by the generated generation unit is applied to the object recognition filter, an evaluation image is generated from a difference between object recognition result images, and an evaluation filter that generates an evaluation image from the evaluation image and the teacher data is generated. The evaluation filter is applied to an input image to generate an evaluation image, and the object recognition filter is evaluated by the generated evaluation image. The present disclosure can be applied to an object recognition device.

Abstract: Provided is a thermoelectric power generation module that uses a thermoelectric power generation element and, for example, improves the efficiency of thermoelectric power generation according to heat generated by a semiconductor component, etc.
The thermoelectric power generation module includes a heat-dissipating body that dissipates heat generated by a heat-generating body, a thermoelectric power generation element disposed at an approximately central section of a top surface of the heat-dissipating body, and a thermally-responsive body that is disposed on an outer peripheral section of the top surface of the heat-dissipating body and whose thermal resistance changes according to temperature, the thermoelectric power generation element and the thermally-responsive body being disposed on a bottom surface of the heat-generating body, and the thermally-responsive body being formed such that the thermal resistance of the thermally-responsive body becomes larger than that for the thermoelectric power generation element when the heat-generating body has a low temperature and that the thermal resistance of the thermally-responsive body becomes equal to or smaller than that for the thermoelectric power generation element when the heat-generating body has a high temperature.
