Thaw indicator for deep freeze products

A defrost indicator (a transparent container containing an emulsionwith 5-95% by wt. of an edible oil and 5-95% by wt. of water) providesan irreversible indication that a frozen product has become thawed andunfrozen during any portion of time subsequent to its initial freezing.Thus, a 50:50 mixt. of canola oil and water at room temperature isagitated vigorously to form an emulsion. http://www.moreinspiration.com/article/3554-thaw-indicator-for-deep-freeze-products

The Innovator’s Sweet Spot

For many years innovative organisations have been trying to resolve the conundrum of how to get to bigger impact innovation more quickly and with less investment. In answer to this, the practice of Open Innovation is increasingly being adopted as the normal mode of operation for leading innovative companies. http://www.cocatalyst.com/blog/

The disorder affects the red blood cells which contain a special protein called haemoglobin (Hb for short). The function of haemoglobin is to carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.

Newswise — The race for the best "gecko foot" dry adhesive got a new competitor this week with a stronger and more practical material reported in the journal Science by a team of researchers from four U.S. institutions. Scientists have long been interested in the ability of gecko lizards to scurry up walls and cling to ceilings by their toes. The creatures owe this amazing ability to microscopic branched elastic hairs in their toes that take advantage of atomic-scale attractive forces to grip surfaces and support surprisingly heavy loads.

Engineers at Switzerland's University of Bern have been working on tiny turbines; turbines small enough, in fact, to fit inside a human artery. Working like a blood powered hydroelectric generator, a working prototype - tested in a simulated artery - has been able to produce 800 microwatts of electricity. That's roughly eighty times the power required to power the average pacemaker; such a device could provide independent, sustainable power to neurostimulators, blood-pressure sensors, and other implanted medical gizmos.

Self-destructing syringe is made to save lives

http://www.moreinspiration.com/article/5074-self-destructing-syringe-is-made-to-save-lives In these days of reducing, reusing and recycling, it may seem strange that anyone would be going out of their way to make a potentially reusable product disposable. It all makes sense, however, when that product is a syringe.
This invention relates generally to semiconductor chip package assembly, and in particular to flip chip package assembly. More specifically, the invention relates to a flip chip package incorporating warpage control structures and methods of their assembly in a semiconductor flip chip package. In semiconductor device assembly, a semiconductor chip (also referred to as an integrated circuit (IC) chip or “die”) may be bonded directly to a packaging substrate, without the need for a separate leadframe or for separate I/O connectors (e.g., wire or tape).
