TL;DR: In this article, an improved lead frame structure for use in a semiconductor package, including a paddle structure electrically isolated from the leads, was presented, where contact pads of a die attached to the first top surface may be electrically connected to the second top surface and to the leads prior to encapsulation thereof.
Abstract: An improved lead frame structure for use in a semiconductor package, including: a plurality of leads; a paddle structure electrically isolated from the leads, the paddle structure including at least one lower paddle section having a first top surface to which a die may be attached, at least one mesa section disposed proximate the paddle section and having a second top surface disposed at a different elevation than the first top surface, the lower paddle section and the mesa section being joined by a wall section; and a plurality of tie bars attached to the paddle structure for supporting the paddle structure; whereby contact pads of a die attached to the first top surface may be electrically connected to the second top surface and to the leads prior to encapsulation thereof. A plurality of tie bars extends from opposite edges of the paddle structure, the tie bars providing for stabilizing the paddle structure during package fabrication.

TL;DR: In this paper, an adjustable paddle with an adjustable joint is described, which allows for two handle sections (14, 16) to be fitted together in a desired axial and rotational positions to fix the length of paddle and the relative blade angle settings of blades.
Abstract: An adjustable paddle (A) is disclosed which includes an adjustable joint (C) which allows for two handle sections (14, 16) to be fitted together in a desired axial and rotational positions to fix the length of paddle (A) and the relative blade angle settings of blades (18, 20). The adjustable joint includes three concentric shafts (22, 24, 28; and 62, 64, 66) to provide a more rigid joint which is generally wobble-free. Preferably, the concentric shafts are fixed together by a compression lock (30). The compression lock includes an annular compression member (32) and beveled edges (38, 58, 70) affixed on the first handle section and a complimentary beveled surface (34a) on compression nut (34). Tightening of the compression nut forces compression member (32) about the shaft of the second handle section to fit the handle sections together in the desired axial and rotational position. Additionally, a cam lock (26) may also be utilized to alternately lock the handle sections together.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved controller for a games console is presented, which is intended to be held by a user in both hands in the same manner as a conventional controller (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
Abstract: The invention provides an improved controller (10) for a games console. The invention is a games controller (10) that is intended to be held by a user in both hands in the same manner as a conventional controller (1). Additionally, the controller of the invention (10) may comprise the same controls (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) as a conventional controller (1). The controller of the present invention (10) is advantageous as it additionally comprises four additional controls (11A, 11B, 11C, 11D) located on the rear of the controller (10) in a position to be operated by the middle fingers of a user (12). The additional controllers (11A, 11B, 11C, 11D) may be paddle levers and may replicate the functions of one or more of the controls (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) located on the front or top of the controller (10).
