A method is described for fabricating a three-dimensional integrated device including a plurality of vertically stacked and interconnected wafers. Wafers (1, 2, 3) are bonded together using bonding layers (26, 36) of thermoplastic material such as polyimide; electrical connections are realized by vias (12, 22) in the wafers connected to studs (27, 37). The studs connect to openings (13, 23) having a lateral dimension larger than that of the vias at the front surfaces of the wafers. Furthermore, the vias in the respective wafers need not extend vertically from the front surface to the back surface of the wafers. A conducting body (102) provided in the wafer beneath the device region and extending laterally, may connect the via with the matallized opening (103) in the back surface. Accordingly, the conducting path through the wafer may be led underneath the devices thereof. Additional connections may be made between openings (113) and studs (127) to form vertical heat conduction pathways between the wafers.

A method, system, computer program product, and method of doing business by providing a secure integrated device (such as a pervasive computing device) for which operating capabilities can be dynamically yet securely selected (including, but not limited to, pluggable connection of input / output devices and / or application processors that provide selected functions). Each input / output (I / O) device and application processor to be used is plugged in to a bus of a security core, and authenticates itself to the security core using public key infrastructure techniques, thereby creating a secure multi-function device. All of the multi-function device's input and output interactions with its environment necessarily traverse an I / O bus under the sole control of the security core. The only communication path between an application processor and the external environment (such as an I / O device) is through an application processor bus, which is likewise under control of the security core. Thus a user may dynamically yet securely select the capabilities of a multi-function device, and because each I / O device and application processor in use by that multi-function device is authenticated, the security of transactions or network services performed when using such devices is improved.

An arrangement includes a housing, a plurality of sampling and analysis sites contained within the housing, each of the sampling and analysis sites having a skin-penetration member having a first end configured to pierce the skin, and an inner lumen in communication with the first end, an actuator operatively associated with the skin-penetration member, and an analyte quantification member in fluid communication with the inner lumen of the skin-penetration member. Integrated devices including such arrangements are also described.

The invention discloses integrated high-pressure pumping equipment. The integrated high-pressure pumping equipment comprises an engine, a high-pressure pump, a speed reducer and a frame, the frame comprises an upper frame body and a lower frame body, the engine is arranged in one of the upper frame body and the lower frame body, the high-pressure pump is arranged in the other one of the upper frame body and the lower frame body, the speed reducer is vertically arranged close to the frame, an input end of the speed reducer is connected with the engine, and an output end of the speed reducer is connected with the high-pressure pump. The engine and the high-pressure pump are vertically arranged in the integrated equipment, and the speed reducer is vertically arranged close to the frame, so that the size of the high-pressure pumping equipment is diminished greatly, the structure of entire equipment is compact, and transportation of the high-pressure pumping equipment in severe conditions such as in remote mountainous areas is facilitated.

An imaging device captures both a visible light image and a diagnostic image, the diagnostic image corresponding to emissions from an imaging medium within the object. The visible light image (which may be color or grayscale) and the diagnostic image may be superimposed to display regions of diagnostic significance within a visible light image. A number of imaging media may be used according to an intended application for the imaging device, and an imaging medium may have wavelengths above, below, or within the visible light spectrum. The devices described herein may be advantageously packaged within a single integrated device or other solid state device, and / or employed in an integrated, single-camera medical imaging system, as well as many non-medical imaging systems that would benefit from simultaneous capture of visible-light wavelength images along with images at other wavelengths.

An events management system coordinates the exchange of device alert or alarm information between an asset management system and one or more business systems within a process control system or plant. The events management system receives device alerts from the asset management system and uses a rules-engine and one or more state machines to send notifications containing device alert information to one of more of the business systems.
