Publication number: 20200244178Abstract: One example is an inverter assembly for converting direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). A DC connector on the inverter assembly is connected to an upper DC bus. A silicon carbide (SiC) heat sink is mounted above the upper DC bus and at least one capacitor is mounted above the SiC heat sink. A lower DC bus is connected to the upper DC bus and a liquid cooled cold-plate cooling unit is positioned between the upper and lower DC busses. SiC half-bridge units are located between the upper DC bus and the cold-plate and between the lower DC bus and the cold-plate. A gate driver unit is located on the upper DC bus above one converter heatsink and another driver located on the lower DC bus below the other converter heatsink. An AC output connector connects the converters to the AC output connecter.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2019Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventor: Alexander M. Soles

Event detection system having multiple sensor systems in cooperation with an impact detection system
Patent number: 9772818Abstract: A damage detection and remediation system includes a sensing device for detecting damage events related to a structure of interest. Such damage events may include impact from a ballistic object, a tamper event, a physical impact, or other events that may affect structural integrity or cause failure. Illustratively, the sensing device is in communication with a measurement system to determine damage criteria, and a processing system which is configured to use the damage criteria to determine, for example, a direction of the initiation point of a ballistic causing the damage event.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Alexander M.
