  • Patent number: 11996348
    Abstract: A semiconductor module assembly includes a cooling body having a cooling body main body and a cooling body attachment with a channel structure for a heat-transporting fluid. The channel structure is hermetically sealed with a cooling body main body surface so that the cooling body attachment and the cooling body main body are in direct contact with the heat-transporting fluid. The cooling body attachment includes a central piece having essentially parallel channels of the channel structure, and end pieces arranged on both sides of the central piece. Each end piece has deflection channels of the channel structure, which are arranged to establish a fluidic connection between the essentially parallel channels of the central piece. A semiconductor module contacts the cooling body, with the hermetically sealed channel structure of the cooling body attachment and the heat-transporting fluid forming a pulsating heat pipe which is thermally conductively connected to the semiconductor module.

  • Publication number: 20240168470
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide a technique for commissioning an AI-based inspection system. In particular, the described embodiments provide a tool for field engineers to perform tasks including data collection, and training, testing and deployment of an AI algorithm, onsite, with instant feedback. The described tasks are carried out in the same physical environment to arrive at the same sensor setting that is then used by the field device on which the AI algorithm is deployed. Deployment cycle is significantly reduced. The technique leverages the recognition that inspection tasks in industrial settings are repetitive in nature and are carried out in a controlled environment, whereby the AI algorithm need not be generalized beyond the specific use case.

  • Publication number: 20240169106
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a system for automated distribution of a number of predetermined objects in a room and/or on a surface. The system may include: a module for inputting and/or generating data; a module for outputting and/or presenting solutions; and interfaces for transmitting the data to a storage unit connected to a processor configured to carry out a genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm uses the data and initially provides a generation of solutions. The processor evaluates and selects among the solutions based on their progressiveness then recombines the selected solutions. The procedure repeats and provides the most progressive solutions to an artificial intelligence and/or to a neural network which uses the solutions to generate new rules and transfers the most progressive solutions to the processor for refinement of the algorithm.
