An integrated circuit including solder balls containing an elastic or resilient material core, a hard or rigid shell substantially enclosing the core, and an electrical contact layer substantially enclosing the shell. The elastic or resilient core serves as a stress buffer layer in a wafer level package (WLP) integrated circuit. The elastic or resilient material core may include an organic plastic material, such as a Divinilbenzene cross-linked co-polymer of relatively high resistance. This material has a relatively good elongation property so that it can effectively absorb forces exerted upon the integrated circuit by, for example, the flexing of a printed circuit board (PCB) or other structure to which the integrated circuit is attached. The hard or rigid shell serves to contain the elastic or resilient core and may include copper. The electrical contact layer serve to provide a good adhesive electrical contact to an under bump metallization (UBM) layer, may include a lead free, Tin-Gold (SnAg) material.

The liquid container further includes a projection provided in an area of the housing which is opposite to and away from the supported one end of the lever, the projection covering at least a part of a space between the free end of the lever and the housing in the above area. By virtue of the projection, the lever can be protected against accidental external forces. In a cap-equipped liquid container, a straight line connecting a projected end of the projection of the liquid container and a distal end of a tab of a cap is set to cross a movable range of the lever provided on the liquid container in which the lever is allowed to angularly move with elastic deformation thereof. In a cap, an elastic sealing member for sealing off the surroundings of the supply port of the liquid container is provided on a bottom wall portion connecting first and second latch members to each other, and a part of the bottom wall portion is able to elastically deform upon application of an operating force.

A webcam module having a clamping device includes a body portion, a first sliding unit, a second sliding unit, a first torsion element and a second torsion element. The first sliding unit and the second sliding unit are provided on the body portion. The first sliding unit is able to slide by means of the cooperation between the sliding block and the guiding though-groove. The torsion elements are used to generate a force for clamping an article. Via the above arrangement, a user can turn a first turning portion of the first sliding unit and a second turning portion of the second sliding unit, thereby opening a first clip and a second clip to a predetermined angle. The torsion elements allow the first clip and the second clip to be clamped at a predetermined position.

A protector effectively suppresses infections. The protector protects a tube entry part, where a tube passes through the skin of a living body, from infections, and includes a sticking part that is stuck onto the skin of the living body in a periphery of the tube entry part, and a covering that covers the tube entry part, forms an internal space that surrounds the tube entry part, and has a passage through which the tube passes. The covering is provided with an opening that can be freely opened and closed with a cap or the like.

A powered air-purifying respirator that includes an enclosure, defining a single contiguous enclosed interior, an inlet duct, including an inlet and a distribution portion, that guides ambient air to the interior of the enclosure, a plurality of filter canisters disposed within the interior of the enclosure, and a blower that forces air through the at least one inlet, into the interior of the enclosure and through the plurality of filter canisters to produce filtered air suitable for breathing. A valve controls the flow of ambient air through the inlet duct. A fluid dam, disposed in an air path between the inlet and the filter canisters prevents liquids from reaching the filter canisters. The enclosure is reinforced and is adapted to provide protection for the filter canister from flame and heat while the filter canister is in use. A recirculation valve recycles previously-filtered air back into the enclosure.

The mounting unit includes a first part detachably supporting the exterior member so that an upper surface thereof is covered by the exterior member, a second part detachably held by the first part, and a screw for attaching the exterior member to the device while utilizing the second part detachably supported by the first part as a seating plate.

The present invention discloses a fixing structure applicable to a frame, wherein a first latch plate and a first support plate parallel to each other are disposed vertically on the frame. The fixing structure includes a board, a second latch plate disposed on a surface of the board, and a second support plate parallel to the second latch plate disposed on the board. When the fixing structure is placed on the surface of the frame, the first support plate is passed through a second opening of the fixing structure. A resilient element is pivotally coupled between the first support plate and the second support plate, such that the fixing structure can be moved on the frame by the resilience of the resilient element, enabling an operator to easily install or remove an electronic peripheral on or from the space between the first and second latch plates of the frame.

In accordance with the present invention, a chip scale package (CSP) is manufactured at wafer-level. The CSP includes a chip, a conductor layer for redistribution of the chip pads of the chip, one or two insulation layers and multiple bumps, which are interconnected to respective chip pads by the conductor layer and are the terminals of the CSP. In addition, in order to improve the reliability of the CSP, a reinforcing layer, an edge protection layer and a chip protection layer are provided. The reinforcing layer absorbs stress applied to the bumps when the CSP is mounted on a circuit board and used for an extended period, and extends the life of the bumps, and thus, the life of the CSP. The edge protection layer and the chip protection layer prevent external force from damaging the CSP. After forming all elements constituting the CSP on the semiconductor wafer, the semiconductor wafer is sawed to produce individual CSPs.
