A simplified process for flip-chip attachment of a chip to a substrate is provided by precoating the chip with an encapsulant underfill material having separate discrete solder columns therein to eliminate the conventional capillary flow underfill process. Such a structure permits incorporation of remeltable layers for rework, test, or repair. It also allows incorporation of electrical redistribution layers. In one aspect, the chip and pre-coated encapsulant are placed at an angle to the substrate and brought into contact with the pre-coated substrate, then the chip and pre-coated encapsulant are pivoted about the first point of contact, expelling any gas therebetween until the solder bumps on the chip are fully in contact with the substrate. There is also provided a flip-chip configuration having a complaint solder/flexible encapsulant understructure that deforms generally laterally with the substrate as the substrate undergoes expansion or contraction. With this configuration, the complaint solder/flexible encapsulant understructure absorbs the strain caused by the difference in the thermal coefficients of expansion between the chip and the substrate without bending the chip and substrate.

A method for labeling images that have a visual appearance digitizes the images in order to create image data. The method calculates plurality of features from a subset of said image data and organizes the images unsupervised in an organization process. The organizing is based on the features and the similarity criterion. After the set of images is retrieved utilizing the organization of the stored images, a label is assigned to the retrieved image or to its part. As well the labels are verified and training material is created for a supervised classifier.

An improved tool and technique for performance quality testing of a synthesized controller or a controller-in-development is disclosed. A controller's performance in a test run within a simulation testing environment is quantitatively compared to an optimal performance parameter as defined in a controller performance model. Deviation between these compared results is recorded as an indicator of poor controller performance. Only deviating test results are recorded for review to guide further fine tuning or modifications of controller settings, and to save mass storage space. The controller performance test runs autonomously and may be automatically restarted should any failure within the simulation environment occur.

The present invention is to provide an umbrella structure including at least one mushroom-shaped hub, a plurality of supporting members, and a main rod. Each mushroom-shaped hub has a hollow tubular body, two openings at two opposite ends respectively, and a cap portion located near a first opening and formed with a plurality of evenly distributed grooves which extend in the radial direction of the first opening. The supporting member has one end whose diameter is less than the diameter of the first opening but greater than the width of each groove and which therefore can pass through the first opening and be received in the cap portion. Thus, when the main rod penetrates the two openings, the end of each supporting member can be limited in position in the cap portion, and the remaining portion thereof can extend out of the cap portion and move along the groove accordingly.
