20100052122WIRE BODNING PACKAGE STRUCTURE - A chip package structure employing a die pad integrated with the ground/voltage pad is provided. The die pad for carrying the chip is split into at least two separate sections for accommodating the ground and the voltage. Due to the design of the die pad, the signal fingers may be extended under the chip to be connected with vias, and thermal/ground vias may be arranged under the die pad for thermal or electrical connections. Through such arrangement, all the fingers are located closer to the die, thus decrease the length of bonding wires and reducing the package dimensions.03-04-2010

20100052186STACKED TYPE CHIP PACKAGE STRUCTURE - A stacked type chip package structure employs a substrate having a pseudo-cavity or a keep-out zone at one side or both sides thereof. Through the pattern arrangement of the wiring layer and the solder mask layer, the thickness of the entire stacked type chip package structure is effectively reduced as lower wire loops and a thinner mold-cap can be achieved by mounting the chip within the depressed keep-out zone. In particular, the double-sided chip package structures are suitable for package on package structures adopted by mobile applications.03-04-2010

20110295780Apparatus and Method for Personalized Delivery of Content from Multiple Data Sources - A non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions to collect explicit feedback from a user regarding user content preferences. Multiple data sources are monitored. Topics associated with the multiple data sources are classified. The importance of the topics to the user is characterized. Content is delivered to the user when a selected topic exceeds an importance threshold for the user. Implicit feedback from the user that characterizes refined user content preferences is tracked. The instructions to characterize the importance of topics evaluates the explicit feedback and the implicit feedback.12-01-2011
20110295781Apparatus and Method for Improved Classifier Training - A non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions to maintain an original training set of labeled documents, where the labeled documents correspond to a variety of topics. A new labeled document corresponding to a new topic is received. The original training set of labeled documents is modulated such that the new labeled document is over-represented with respect to the original training set. This results in a modulated training set. A classifier is trained with the modulated training set to form a trained classifier.12-01-2011

20080231268Imaging Method Based on Fractal Surface-Filling or Space-Filling Curves - The present invention relates to an imaging method and device for nuclear magnetic resonance. On the one hand, the method provides an image coding by means of an additional field which has, for each point of a two-dimensional grating surface within the sample, a different field strength value that occurs only once, as is the case, e.g., in fields based on fractal, surface-filling and space-filling curves. On the other hand, the read-out of the resonance behavior of a sample along a space-filling and/or surface-filling curve can be provided. In the first variant, a magnetic resonance (MR) image with a single high-frequency excitation without a time-varying gradient can be recorded, which in turn advantageously prevents the sound generation associated therewith. In the second variant, the sounds generated during read-out are advantageously shifted to another frequency range in which the human hearing is less sensitive. Furthermore, the device is relieved and the technical requirements with regard to it are reduced. In addition, it can be executed with known and existing devices.09-25-2008
