  • Publication number: 20170170088
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to an electronic package. The electronic package includes a first die and a second die stacked onto the first die. A first encapsulant is positioned between the first die and the second die. The first encapsulant includes a first material that covers a first volume between the first die and the second die. A second encapsulant is positioned between the first die and the second die. The second encapsulant includes a second material that covers a second volume between the first die and the second die. The first material has a higher thermal conductivity than the second material, and the second material more effectively promotes electrical connections between the first die and the second die as compared to the first material.

  • Publication number: 20170157806
    Abstract: Tubular casting processes, such as dip-coating, may be used to form substrates from polymeric solutions which may be used to fabricate implantable devices such as stents. The polymeric substrates may have multiple layers which retain the inherent properties of their starting materials and which are sufficiently ductile to prevent brittle fracture. Parameters such as the number of times the mandrel is immersed, the duration of time of each immersion within the solution, as well as the delay time between each immersion or the drying or curing time between dips and withdrawal rates of the mandrel from the solution may each be controlled to result in the desired mechanical characteristics. Additional post-processing may also be utilized to further increase strength of the substrate or to alter its shape.

  • Patent number: 9479076
    Abstract: It is presented a converter cell (10a; 10b) arranged to be used in a high voltage multilevel converter. The converter cell comprises: an energy storage element (16a; 16b) and a plurality of switching elements (S1, . . . , S8). The plurality of switching elements comprises at least one thyristor (S3; S8) and a plurality of transistors (S1, S2, S4; S5, S6, S7). Each one of the at least one thyristor (S3; S8) is provided in a position for a switching element in the converter cell where, during normal operation of the converter cell, the at least one thyristor is in a continuous conducting state. This reduces the power losses of the converter cell. A corresponding multilevel converter and a method are also presented.

  • Patent number: 9099268
    Abstract: A mechanical switch in the form of a bypass switch assembly is arranged between two electrical conductors (busbars) and stays open during normal operation. When a cell fault happens, the fault and bypass information is transmitted to an actuator (acting as a trigger circuit) which activates inter alia a gas generator producing huge volume of gas in a very short time. The gas pressure pushes a movable member to bridge the two electrical conductors with ultrafast speed.
