Publication number: 20240105651Abstract: A package for power electronics includes a power substrate, a number of power semiconductor die, and a Kelvin connection contact. Each one of the power semiconductor die are on the power substrate and include a first power switching pad, a second power switching pad, a control pad, a semiconductor structure, and a Kelvin connection pad. The semiconductor structure is between the first power switching pad, the second power switching pad, and the control pad, and is configured such that a resistance of a power switching path between the first power switching pad and the second power switching pad is based on a control signal provided at the control pad. The Kelvin connection pad is coupled to the power switching path. The Kelvin connection contact is coupled to the Kelvin connection pad of each one of the power semiconductor die via a Kelvin conductive trace on the power substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Brice McPherson, Daniel Martin, Jennifer Stabach

Patent number: 10917456Abstract: The present disclosure provides new methods and systems for managing applications in a deployment pipeline. For example, a policy of a first environment and a policy of a second environment are detected. A request to move an application from the first environment to the second environment is received. Configuration data of the first environment is incompatible with the second environment. A configuration data set associated with the application is detected and includes various pieces of configuration data. Based on the various policies and the configuration data set, actions to be implemented in the configuration data set are determined, including actions associated with each piece of configuration data. The actions are implemented on the pieces of configuration data to obtain a reconfigured configuration data set that includes different configuration data than that of the first environment. The application and the reconfigured configuration data set are moved to the second environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Parees, Daniel McPherson

Patent number: 10599423Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for source code management for a multi-tenant Platform-as-Service (PaaS) system. A method of the disclosure includes creating, by a processing device of a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) system, a first container to host a first source code management repository for an application; receiving, at the first container, source code associated with the application; creating, by the processing device, a second container to provide deployment functionality for the application, the second container comprising resource-constrained processing space of a node of the PaaS system to execute functionality of the application; and deploying, by the processing device, the source code on the PaaS system using the second container. Aspects of the disclosure may be implemented using high-availability (HA) clusters by replicating the SCM container(s). Aspects of the disclosure may provide users with cost-effective, scaled, and secure PaaS services using reduced infrastructure.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Clayton Coleman, Daniel McPherson, Krishna Raman

Patent number: 10169209Abstract: Methods and systems for creating containers by composition are disclosed. For example, a container image includes multiple layers, including first and second layers, which an image engine determines are read only or unmodified by adding any other layers. Each layer is in either a broken or unbroken state. Layers remain unbroken if an associated identifying signature and contents of layer remain unmodified by any other layer. The layers adhere to a policy requiring each compliant layer to be read only and/or not to modify any other layer when added to container image. The policy requires compliant layers to only modify their own contents when updated and to remain unbroken. The first and second layers are compliant when a third layer replaces the first layer. The layers remain compliant after replacement.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Daniel McPherson, Stephen Tweedie, Benjamin Parees
