Abstract: A system for a power switch of a multiphase power converter coupled to an inductive load including a test controller, a voltage sampling circuit, a processing circuit, and a converter. A test pulse is applied to power switches of the converter to generate a test current through the inductive load, which forward biases a body diode of a power switch during a freewheel portion after the test pulse is completed. The voltage across the body diode is sampled during the freewheel portion, and the voltage samples are converted to a voltage value and a slope value. The voltage and slope values are converted to an estimated temperature value based on a characterization of the inductive load and the body diode. The conversion may be performed by a lookup table that stores an estimated temperature value for each unique combination of the voltage and slope values.

Abstract: A device for allowing the correct positioning of the head in relation to the cervical vertebrae, thereby preventing cervical injuries. To this end, the device relates to the addition of a horizontal occlusion (5) to a conventional glasses structure. The horizontal occlusion affects a percentage of the surface of the device, proportionally to the angle that the patient must correct in order to correctly align the head with the cervical vertebrae. The device also includes a level on the front and on at least one sidepiece so as to ensure correct positioning both in the vertical profile plane and the vertical elevation plane, so as to obtain an optimum posture.
