A Critical Review of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Technologies in Alzheimer's Dementia and Primary Progressive Aphasia.

Multiple pharmacologic agents now have been approved in the United States and other countries as treatment to slow disease and clinical progression for Alzheimer's disease. Given these treatments have not been proven to lessen the cognitive deficits already manifested in the Alzheimer's Clinical Syndrome (ACS), and none are aimed for another debilitating dementia syndrome identified as primary progressive aphasia (PPA), there is an urgent need for new, safe, tolerable, and efficacious treatments to mitigate the cognitive deficits experienced in ACS and PPA. Noninvasive brain stimulation has shown promise for enhancing cognitive functioning, and there has been interest in its potential therapeutic value in ACS and PPA. This review critically examines the evidence of five technologies in ACS and PPA: transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS). Many randomized controlled trials of tDCS and rTMS report positive treatment effects on cognition in ACS and PPA that persist out to at least 8 weeks, whereas there are few trials for tACS and none for tRNS and nVNS. However, most positive trials did not identify clinically meaningful changes, underscoring that clinical efficacy has yet to be established in ACS and PPA. Much is still to be learned about noninvasive brain stimulation in ACS and PPA, and shifting the focus to prioritize clinical significance in addition to statistical significance in trials could yield greater success in understanding its potential cognitive effects and optimal parameters.

Review of Energy Storage Capacitor Technology

Capacitors exhibit exceptional power density, a vast operational temperature range, remarkable reliability, lightweight construction, and high efficiency, making them extensively utilized in the realm of energy storage. There exist two primary categories of energy storage capacitors: dielectric capacitors and supercapacitors. Dielectric capacitors encompass film capacitors, ceramic dielectric capacitors, and electrolytic capacitors, whereas supercapacitors can be further categorized into double-layer capacitors, pseudocapacitors, and hybrid capacitors. These capacitors exhibit diverse operational principles and performance characteristics, subsequently dictating their specific application scenarios. To make informed decisions in selecting capacitors for practical applications, a comprehensive knowledge of their structure and operational principles is imperative. Consequently, this review delved into the structure, working principles, and unique characteristics of the aforementioned capacitors, aiming to clarify the distinctions between dielectric capacitors, supercapacitors, and lithium-ion capacitors.

A Review of Mechanism and Technology of Hybrid Bonding

Abstract With the development of semiconductor technology, traditional flip-chip bonding has been difficult to meet the high-density, high-reliability requirements of advanced packaging technology. As an advanced three-dimensional stacked packaging technology, Cu-SiO2 hybrid bonding technology can achieve high-density electrical interconnection without bumps, which expands the transmission performance and interconnection density of chips greatly. However, the investigation on Cu-SiO2 bonding is far from mature, and many researchers are studying Cu-SiO2 bonding passionately. There are many technologies that use different bonding mechanisms to achieve Cu-SiO2 bonding, which will affect the bonding strength directly. We review the mechanism and research progress of Cu-Cu bonding, SiO2-SiO2 bonding. What is more, we summarize the comparison of bonding conditions and bonding strength of various methods furtherly. According to the bonding mechanism, we propose some economical solutions for low-temperature Cu-SiO2 hybrid bonding, with the aim of providing certain references for the further development of advanced semiconductor packaging.
