Offset-bonded, multi-chip semiconductor device

The present invention is aimed at bonding a lower chip and an upper chip through bumps in a highly reliable manner, while ensuring a sufficient area for an external connection terminal region, by offsetting the upper chip to the lower chip. The substrate 2 has bumps 1 arranged on one surface thereof, and has a first chip 3 mounted on the other surface thereof. A second chip 4 is bonded to the first chip 3 through bumps 5, 6 while offsetting the second chip 4 to the first chip 3 in parallel. In the bonded state of the first chip 3 and the second chip 4, a part of the first chip 3 and a part of the second chip 4 are overlapped without aligning the centers of the both. The center of gravity of the second chip 4 falls inside a region surrounded by the outermost bumps between the first chip 3 and the second chip 4.

High Slot Utilization Systems for Electric Machines

Two new High Slot Utilization (HSU) Systems for electric machines enable the use of form wound coils that have the highest fill factor and the best use of magnetic materials. The epoxy / resin / curing treatment ensures the mechanical strength of the assembly of teeth, core, and coils. In addition, the first HSU system allows the coil layers to be moved inside the slots for the assembly purpose. The second system uses the slided-in teeth instead of the plugged-in teeth. The power density of the electric machine that uses either system can reach its highest limit.

Compact valve

A compact valve using a shape memory alloy comprises: a moving valve body that contacts an inner periphery of a guide pipe having an built-in orifice, is freely movable and has a sealing portion to seal the orifice; a biasing coil provided between the orifice and the moving valve body; and a wire formed of a shape memory alloy and held between a stationary electrode of the guide pipe and a moving electrode of the moving valve body. The orifice is sealed by moving the moving valve body due to transformation of the shape memory alloy by heating the wire. The moving valve body is enabled to be elastically deformable by providing a coil spring to reduce a stress, so that an overload to the moving valve body due to contraction of the wire is absorbed by elastic deformation of the moving valve body. Thereby, the overload to the shape memory alloy is reduced to prevent deterioration of repeatability of memorized shape, to increase durability and reliability of the valve.
