A folded interposer used to achieve a high density semiconductor package is disclosed. The folded interposer is comprised of a thin, flexible material that can be folded around one or multiple semiconductor dice in a serpentine fashion. The semiconductor dice are then attached to a substrate through electrical contacts on the interposer. The folded interposer allows multiple semiconductor dice to be efficiently stacked in a high density semiconductor package by reducing the unused or waster space between stacked semiconductor dice. Vias extending through the folded interposer provide electrical communication between the semiconductor dice and the substrate. The present invention also relates to a method of packaging semiconductor dice in a high density arrangement and a method of forming the high density semiconductor package.

A patient transport arrangement is provided in the passenger cabin of an aircraft and includes a patient stretcher, medical supplies and equipment, and a compartment that is variably and adaptably useable as a restroom compartment and as a medical care compartment. The compartment is arranged adjacent to the doorway clearance area in front of the cabin door of the aircraft. The adaptable compartment includes a foldable wall element so that the stretcher can extend at least partially into the compartment during take-off, landing and ground operations of the aircraft while leaving the doorway clearance area unobstructed, and so that the stretcher can be repositioned out of the compartment and into the doorway clearance area during cruise flight so as to allow the compartment to be used as a passenger restroom during the flight. This arrangement makes efficient use of space within the passenger cabin that would otherwise be unused during various phases of flight.
