Abstract: To propagate compliance and governance (C&G) policies, a parser including natural language processing is used to deconstruct a set of organization C&G policies from a set of C&G documents to identify and record a parsed set of categorized C&G policies. A configuration parameter analyzer deconstructs and parses a plurality of C&G configuration parameters of an application program to identify and record a set of application C&G configuration parameters each comprising a purpose and a unit of measure. A reconciliation arranger receives the set of categorized C&G policies and the set of application C&G configuration parameters and maps the categorized C&G policies for the correct purpose and the unit of measure to the respective application C&G configuration parameters. The reconciliation arranger propagates and secures the application program with the respective set of mapped application C&G configuration parameters from mapped C&G policies.

Abstract: Power modules with reduced parasitic inductances are provided. A power module includes a first substrate including a first electrically-conductive layer and a second substrate including a second electrically-conductive layer. These substrates may be stacked on each other. A scalable network of power switches may be arranged on the substrates. Power bars may be connectable to the electrically-conductive layers through electromechanical interfaces at selectable interface locations. The locations and/or type of interface may be selectable based on the arrangement of the switches. The first and second electrically-conductive layers may be disposed on mutually opposed surfaces of a dielectric layer having a thickness chosen to effect a level of coupling between respective source and return current paths provided by the electrically-conductive layers.

Abstract: A multiport AC link converter includes a resonant AC link, an input port, an output port, and a plurality of switches. A first subset of the switches is between the input port the resonant link and a second subset of the switches is between the resonant link and the output port. The switch sequencing for the input port is selected and executed independently of the switch sequencing for the output port the switch sequencings for the output port is selected and executed independently of that for the input port.

Abstract: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits for self-protecting cascode stages are disclosed. In one example, an ESD protection circuit is described. A cascode stage is configured to selectively couple an output pad to a reference terminal. An ESD sensor may detect a change in voltage indicative of an ESD event occurring at the output pad, causing a gate drive to turn on the cascode stage to conduct ESD current in response to detection of the ESD event at the output pad. A leakage blocker is also included to prevent leakage current from the cascode stage to the gate drive while there is not an ESD event.

Abstract: A sealed lead-acid tray assembly for a motive-powered vehicle such as, for example, a Class 1-3 truck, comprises a bottom tray with a base, side and back walls defining a lower and an upper cell-receiving space and a first set of short sealed lead-acid cells, typically having a height of no more than about 14 inches, vertically positioned in the lower cell-receiving space, a top tray support structure positioned in the bottom tray, and a top tray located on the top tray support and having a second set of short sealed lead-acid cells in the top tray which is located in the upper cell-receiving space of the bottom tray, the respective cells being suitably electrically connected together.
