  • Patent number: 10903158
    Abstract: A semiconductor arrangement includes a circuit board having a metallization layer with first and second conductor tracks, and individual semiconductor chips each having a controllable semiconductor element, first and second load electrodes, and a control electrode. The first conductor track has a base section and further sections extending from the base section. The second conductor track has sections. The further sections of the first conductor track and the sections of the second conductor track extend parallel to one another in a first direction at least over a same lateral dimension of the individual semiconductor chips. The further sections of the first conductor track alternate with the sections of the second conductor track in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The individual semiconductor chips are arranged on the sections of the second conductor track. The first load electrodes are connected to the further sections of the first conductor track.

  • Publication number: 20180181624
    Abstract: The object of the present invention was to be able to determine predictions as to database performance in a user-friendly manner with little effort at an early stage in the development process. With the help of said predictions, weaknesses in the database design and the database accesses that have been implemented are intended to be able to be effectively detected and, where relevant, corrected, before potentially serious performance problems result from these weaknesses at a later point in time. The expensive generation of (test) data is intended to be dispensed in this procedure. In order to achieve the object, the present invention describes a method for generating synthetic database statistics on the basis of existing and suitably formalized application knowledge—the PIs. Building on these statistics, explain mechanisms can then be used for lightweight and efficient prediction of the database performance.
