  • Electronic assembly with phase-change material for thermal performance
    Patent number: 11191187
    Abstract: An electronic assembly with phase-change material for thermal performance comprises a substrate and a semiconductor device mounted on the substrate. A sealed first thermal channel comprises a first evaporator section, a first fluid transport section, and a first condenser section. A phase-change material is contained in the sealed first thermal channel. The first evaporator section overlies the semiconductor device. The first fluid transport section extends between the first evaporator section and the first condenser section. The first evaporator section is spaced apart from the first condenser section. The first condenser section is in thermal communication with the heat sink.
    Type: Grant

  • Planter row unit furrow depth sensing apparatus and method
    Patent number: 10681859
    Abstract: A row unit for a seeding machine. The row unit includes a frame, a gauge wheel arm pivotally coupled to the frame, a gauge wheel coupled to the gauge wheel arm, and a position sensor assembly configured to detect a gap corresponding to a rotational position of the gauge wheel arm. The position sensor assembly includes a sensing target surface. The sensing target surface is at least one of an eccentric surface or a cam surface.
