Publication number: 20090199999Abstract: At least one electric component, such as a power semiconductor component, has at least a two-phase cooling device having at least one evaporator. The evaporator has a liquefier with a structured liquefier surface for evaporating a cooling fluid, formed by an electric connecting line making electrical contact with an electric contact face of the component. The connecting line cools the power semiconductor component and a module equipped therewith. Isothermal cooling with a low thermal loading of the power semiconductor component or of the module is possible by virtue of the two-phase cooling device acting as an evaporating bath cooling system. The device is applied in the planar contact-making technology with a large surface by providing an electric component with an electric contact face and producing the electric connecting line to the evaporator surface on the contact face of the component.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2006Publication date: August 13, 2009Inventors: Gerhard Mitic, Eckhard Wolfgang

Patent number: 7508290Abstract: An inductive component, for the formation of a magnetic circuit has at least one wire winding and at least one core with a ferromagnetic core material. The core comprises a gap and at least one further gap to interrupt the magnetic circuit. The inductive component is characterized in that the gaps each have a gap width of at least 1.0 mm. The core comprises two pieces, for example, which are arranged opposed to each other across the gaps and separated from each other by the gap width. The component is advantageously symmetrical with an essentially equal gap width for the gaps. A miniaturized inductive component is possible by the use of a hire winding made from high frequency braided wire and core material capable of accepting high frequencies, which has a high Q-factor even on a high power throughput and thus low electrical losses. In order to increase the Q-factor, the inductive component also has a cooling device for cooling the wire winding.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2003Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Honsberg-Riedl, Johann Otto, Eckhard Wolfgang

Patent number: 4705954Abstract: A particle probe is positioned to a specific region when an actual position of the specific region appears shifted relative to its rated position due to local fields, and can therefore not be defined with high precision. The particle probe is positioned to a prescribed region. The particle probe is then deflected in the environment of this region such that the particle probe impinges different regions at the prescribed region. The position of the specific region is determined from the measured signals which are triggered given incidence of the particle probe on the different regions. The particle probe is then positioned to the specific region. An electrical line may form a test spot at the specific region wherein one dimension thereof is greater than a width thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1985Date of Patent: November 10, 1987Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Peter Rummel, Eckhard Wolfgang
