  • Patent number: 11972991
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: an inner frame that surrounds an outer circumference of a semiconductor chip; and an outer frame that surrounds an outer circumference of the inner frame; wherein the outer frame is configured with an exterior wall that surrounds the outer circumference of the inner frame, and a fibrous reinforcing member that is wound on an outer circumference of the exterior wall. This prevents the broken pieces of a component that constitutes the semiconductor device from being scattered outside the semiconductor device, thereby not only to achieve improvement in the reliability of the entire system, but also to achieve downsizing of the semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 9797955
    Abstract: An insulation inspection device for motors includes an inverter for driving a motor, a partial discharge detecting unit for determining soundness of the motor, and a control circuit for controlling the inverter. The control circuit adjusts a switching interval of a voltage pulse of the inverter so as to be equal to a pulse round-trip propagation time between the inverter and the motor, thereby generating surge voltage higher than driving voltage for the motor, between the motor and ground, and adjusts a switching time for each phase of the inverter, thereby generating surge voltage higher than driving voltage for the motor, between phases, thus performing insulation inspection.
