    Abstract: In certain embodiments, an assembly has intermediate pods magnetically, but not galvanically, coupled along an electrically conductive cable. Each pod has a magnetic core surrounding and inductively coupled to the cable and one or more coils inductively coupled to the magnetic core. The pod transmits, for example, outgoing current pulses on the cable by inducing electrical signals in the cable using a transmitter coil and the magnetic core. In addition, the pod repeats, for example, incoming current pulses on the cable by inducing electrical signals in the cable using the transmitter coil and the magnetic core, based on electrical signals induced in a receiver coil via the magnetic core by the incoming current pulses. Such an assembly can function as a data collection system for scientific research and/or as an early-warning system for events, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, without having to modify the cable itself.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor chip, an adhesive layer that is formed on the first semiconductor chip, and a second semiconductor chip that is arranged on the first semiconductor chip via the adhesive layer. The first semiconductor chip has a first semiconductor substrate and a first wiring layer. The first wiring layer has a first inductor and a first electrode pad. The first wiring layer is formed on the first semiconductor substrate. The second semiconductor chip has a second wiring layer and a second semiconductor substrate. The second wiring layer is formed on the first wiring layer via the adhesive layer. The second semiconductor substrate is formed on the second wiring layer, and has a first opening. In a plan view, the first electrode pad is formed so as not to overlap with the second semiconductor chip, and a second electrode pad overlaps with the first opening.
