A package structure and a package process are proposed in using pillar bumps to connect an upper second chip and through silicon vias of a lower first chip, wherein a gap between the first chip and the second chip can be controlled by adjusting a height of the pillar bumps. In other words, the pillar bumps compensate the height difference between the first chip and a molding compound surrounding the first chip so as to ensure the bondibility between the pillar bumps and the corresponding through silicon vias and improve the process yield. Furthermore, the pillar bumps maintain the gap between the second chip and the molding compound for allowing an underfill being properly filled into the space between the first chip and the second chip.

The different pieces forming the deterrent can be selected by the lineman to quickly build an optimal deterrent in the field.

Disclosed is a synthetic leather produced by directly coating a water-soluble synthetic resin solution on the surface of a fabric to form a film thereon such that fine gaps formed on the fabric are partially left open to have a certain degree of air permeability. In particular, a brushing process is used for brushing the surface of a fabric using a brushing machine to raise a nap. Next, a hydrolysis-resistant and flame-retardant resin solution is coated on the back of the fabric, which is opposite to the surface on which the nap is raised, to reinforce the back of the fabric. A film forming process then applies a water-soluble polyurethane resin solution to the nap raised on the surface of the fabric to form a film on the surface of the fabric thereby producing a synthetic leather product that has air permeability properties that are superior to genuine leather.

Disclosed is an shape-forming shutter apparatus including a plurality of shutter pieces, each having an shaping surface and a sliding surface, which are arranged in a circle with the shaping surface of each shutter piece being slidably in sliding contact with the sliding surface of the neighboring separate shutter piece, and the shape-forming shutter apparatus being capable of dilating and contracting an opening part surrounded by the shaping surfaces respectively of the plurality of shutter pieces. The shape-forming shutter apparatus includes pressure contact biasing means for always keeping the shaping surface of each shutter piece and the sliding surface of the neighboring shutter piece slidably in pressure contact with each other. The pressure contact biasing means is a ring-shaped elastic member for biasing the shutter pieces equally in such a direction to close the opening part. The elastic member is stretchingly wound around the shutter pieces in an end of each shutter piece, which end is separate away from the other end thereof where the shaping surface of the shutter piece and the sliding surface of the neighboring shutter piece intersect each other.

A seat structure capable of dealing with both a normal posture and a resting posture and providing sufficient relaxation in the resting posture while ensuring excellent comfortableness of an occupant.According to the present invention, a back frame 20 itself is fixed to a frame support 10 but a cushion frame 30 shifts from a first position A to a second position B according to an occupant's movement and an inclination angle of a pelvis support 31 increases accordingly. The occupant's pelvis portion and a portion lower than the pelvis portion is moved forward but a part of his or her back above his or her breast is not varied. With this structure, the same effect of the resting posture, that is, the posture in which the back frame is reclined in a conventional seat structure, can be obtained. Since the back is not tilted backward, a leg room (footrest) space in a rear seat is not limited.

A process for connecting two aircraft fuselage segments and a reinforcing profile arranged in the joint region of the two aircraft fuselage segments by friction twist welding using a rotating tool, wherein a cover plate is brought onto the aircraft fuselage segments to be connected above the joint regions and after the friction twist welding the remainder of the cover plate is milled off. This makes it possible to overcome significantly greater gap tolerances in the edges to be connected so that the dimension tolerance requirements for the aircraft fuselage segments can be reduced. Furthermore, a smooth surface can be achieved in the welding region.
