Semiconductor arrangement and sub-arrangement with poka-yoke structures

Patent published on the 2026-08-06 in WO under Ref WO2026162123 by HOERGEL JUERGEN [DE] (Hoergel Juergen [de], Liu Chunlei [de])

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a semiconductor arrangement comprising: a core layer comprising a plurality of recess areas; a plurality of semiconductor sub-arrangements, each one disposed in one of the recess areas of the core layer; a first prepreg layer (211a) disposed on a first main surface (210a) of the core layer and a second prepreg layer (211b) disposed on a second main surface (210b) of the core layer that is opposite to the first main surface, the first and second prepreg layers embedding [...]


Our summary: The semiconductor arrangement includes a core layer with recess areas for sub-arrangements. Each sub-arrangement consists of a carrier, semiconductor chip, and mold body. The design utilizes Poka-Yoke structures for precise fitting and embedding of components.

Just-in-time transcoding for live media streaming including http live streaming (hls)

Patent published on the 2026-08-06 in US under Ref US20260230662 by DROPBOX INC [US] (Goudagunta Pradeep Kumar [us], Cheung Andrew [us], Corneau Benjamin [us], Patel Tejas [us], Wagner Daniel [gb], Korotenko Kseniia [us], Dash Binoy [us])

Abstract: [0000] A content management system streams media items to client devices. The content management system stores a master (or uploaded version) of a video file in a first format (e.g., a first resolution and compression format) and receives a request to stream the video file to a client device using a second format. The video segments from the master are transcoded and stored in a buffer/cache on the content management system and streamed therefrom to the client device. Just-in-time transcoding is[...]


Our summary: Just-in-time transcoding enables efficient streaming of media by converting video files into the required format on demand. The content management system buffers transcoded segments to optimize delivery to client devices. This process allows for early transcoding of video segments before the entire master file is uploaded.

Just-in-time selective loading of cryptographic signatures

Patent published on the 2026-07-02 in US under Ref US20260189402 by SERVICENOW INC [US] (Sardesai Shantanu [us], Wen Huiqing [us], Torio Marvin [us], Ainala Sainadh [us])

Abstract: Embodiments of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for just-in-time signature loading to selectively load a specific cryptographic signature needed to authenticate a software asset being loaded/executed during a runtime of an application associated with the software asset. The systems and techniques described herein can selectively load specific cryptographic signatures as needed during runtime, rather than loading all cryptographic signatures associate[...]


Our summary: The technology enables just-in-time loading of specific cryptographic signatures required for authenticating software assets during application runtime. It optimizes the process by loading only necessary signatures, avoiding the overhead of loading all associated signatures. This approach enhances efficiency and security in software execution.

Exploratory Analysis on Shipping Segments and Potential Challenges for Dry Bulk Carriers

Published on 2026-02-03 by Angelos A. Menelaou, Sergey Popravko, Illya Bronnikov @MDPI

Abstract: The maritime industry is undergoing significant transformation, necessitating a reassessment of operational strategies, particularly for bulk carriers. Unlike container ships or ferries, which benefit from speed optimisation and real-time operational adjustments, bulk carriers face distinct challenges arising from rigid scheduling practices and the inherent complexities of cargo handling. Variability in loading and unloading processes, fluctuating discharge rates, and port congestion further con[...]


Our summary: This study explores the unique challenges faced by dry bulk carriers in the maritime industry. It highlights the limitations of Just-In-Time arrival strategies due to rigid scheduling and cargo handling complexities. The analysis emphasizes the need for reassessment of operational strategies in light of these challenges.

Instrument Performance and Thermospheric Wind Observations

Published on 2026-01-24 by Zhenqing Wen, Di Fu, Guangyi Zhu, Dexin Ren, Xiongbo Hao, Hengxiang Zhao, Jiuhou Lei, Yajun Zhu, Yutao Feng @MDPI

Abstract: The thermosphere serves as a pivotal region for Sun&amp;ndash;Earth interactions, and thermospheric winds are of great scientific importance for deepening insights into atmospheric dynamics, climate formation mechanisms, and space environment evolution. This study designed and developed a Ground-based Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne Interferometer (GDASHI). Targeting the nightglow of the oxygen atomic red line (OI 630.0 nm), this instrument enables high-precision observation of thermos[...]


Our summary: This study developed a Ground-based Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne Interferometer (GDASHI) for observing thermospheric winds. The instrument achieved high-precision measurements of nighttime meridional and zonal winds over one year at Gemini Astronomical Manor. Comparisons with a collocated Dual-Channel Optical Interferometer confirmed the reliability of GDASHI-derived winds, providing insights into atmospheric dynamics and climate mechanisms.
