    Abstract: A high-temperature wide-bandgap power module and a preparation method thereof is provided in the present application. In the high-temperature wide-bandgap power module, SiC power chips are arranged in the cavity, and bonding wires are used to establish electrical connections. An ultrathin composite conformal coating consists of inorganic film and Parylene-HT film is arranged on the surface of the circuit to provide long-term reliable insulation while only imposing minor thermo-mechanical stresses on bonding joint at high-temperatures, which prolongs the module's life time. In addition, the hermetic sealing adopted in the present application blocks the external water, oxygen and chemical pollution, thereby alleviating the thermal degradation of the conformal coating and safeguards the internal circuit. Overall, the hermetic sealing and conformal coating ensure the long-term 250 degrees high-temperature working capability of the wide-bandgap power module.

  • Publication number: 20250140383
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a temporal information enhancement-based method for 3D medical image segmentation, belonging to the field of medical image segmentation. The method provides a circle transformer module for extraction and fusion of temporal information, and uses temporal input to improve the training effect of a deep learning model, thereby effectively eliminating interference of similar features and blurred images. In a training phase, an input sample is a temporal sequence, the model training effect is enhanced by extracting temporal information, and segmentation results before and after the combination of temporal information are both constrained, so that the model is no longer temporally dependent. In comparison with a training method in which a single sample is input, the present invention can improve the accuracy of an encoder-decoder structure-based segmentation model without costs.
