Abstract: A power module includes a power substrate, a number of power semiconductor die, and a number of connector pins. The power substrate includes a number of conductive traces. The power semiconductor die are mounted on the power substrate and electrically coupled to the conductive traces. The connector pins are each electrically coupled to a different one of the conductive traces and configured to be interconnected such that the power semiconductor die provide an active front-end and a switching power converter. By providing the power semiconductor die such that they can be interconnected to form an active front-end and a switching power converter in the same power module, the power module may provide a significantly more compact power converter system using both an active front-end and switching power converter.

Abstract: A Wireless Traffic Congestion and Hazardous Condition Detection and Warning System. The system utilizes electronic nodes placed alongside a highway to detect traffic congestion and other hazardous conditions, visually notify drivers of a detected hazardous condition, and wirelessly communicate the hazardous condition to neighboring nodes in order to notify drivers well in advance of the hazard. A detected hazardous condition can also be transmitted through the existing cellular network to enable remote monitoring of traffic flow and remote notification of detected hazardous conditions.
