Abstract: The housing of ball grid array (BGA) type comprises a chip (1) mounted on a tape automated bonding (TAB) technology, and a reinforcement plate (14), which is electrically neutral and embedded in the moulding, laid flat with respect to the chip and onto the face of flexible tapee opposite to that receiving the chip. The reinforcement plate (14) extends over both sides of chip on the tape in a manner to rigidify the assembly of chip mounted on tape, and covers totally and in a watertight manner the space between the chip and the tape. The housing allows the dissipation of power emitted from the chip through the tape, and also comprises a thermal dissipator (15) positioned on the rear face of chip. The reinforcement plate (14) is dimensioned as a function of maximum size determined by the chip (1) and acceptable for the dimensions of housing. In a variant of the device, the thermal dissipator corresponds to a card supporting the housing. The method for moulding includes the positioning of tape-chip assembly in the interior of first part of mould having a cavity for the chip and side borders for supporting the tape, the positioning of reinforcement plate, the positioning of second part of mould on the tape-chip assembly with supporting on the tape on both sides of chip so as to havee the tape tightened in a waterproof manner between two parts of mould, and the injection of a resin into the interior of second part of mould. The size of cavity in the second part of mould is determined as a function of maximum size of chip acceptable for the housing.

Abstract: An optical fiber transmission link has a first optical fiber with a high effective area coupled to a second, downstream optical fiber with a low effective area. The downstream fiber has non-zero dispersion and low dispersion slope. Characteristics of the upstream fiber permit the launching of high power channels in a wavelength division multiplexing, and characteristics of the downstream fiber enable Raman amplification along that fiber to extend the transmission distance before a need for discrete amplification. The downstream fiber has a non-zero dispersion in the C-band wavelengths and a low dispersion slope and has low attenuation at the signal and pump wavelengths. Refractive-index profiles include variations of W-type fibers that may include outer rings of positive or negative index. Pumping of the downstream fiber may occur either co-directionally to the signals, counter-directionally to the signals, or in both directions.

Abstract: A process for preserving and storing nematodes having an increased feeding value for later use as needed in the feeding of aquaculture organisms. In this process, nematodes are enriched with an additive such as essential fatty acids, vaccines, hormones, immunostimulants, attractants, nutrients and pigments. Liposomes can serve as a medium for feeding the additives to the nematodes. The enriched nematodes are then desiccated by inducing a quiescent anhydrobiosis (dehydration) and stored for off-the-shell use as needed. When required for feeding, the desiccated enriched nematodes are rehydrated and fed to the aquaculture organisms.
