  • Publication number: 20250167639
    Abstract: An inverter contains at least one phase, and includes a base plate, at least one half bridge on the base plate, which has a high side for at least one semiconductor package forming a high side switch, and a low side for at least one parallel semiconductor package forming a low side switch, wherein each semiconductor package is encased in a non-conductive coating. The inverter also includes a temperature measuring system for measuring the temperature of the semiconductor packages in the inverter, and the temperature measuring system includes at least one substrate placed on or above the coating on at least one of the semiconductor packages, and at least one temperature measuring element on or in the substrate, which is designed to at least detect the surface temperature of the coating on at least one semiconductor package.

  • Patent number: 11852237
    Abstract: An electro-mechanical actuator for generating an axial actuation force is provided. The electro-mechanical actuator includes an electric machine having a stator (1) and a rotor (2). The electro-mechanical actuator also includes a spindle drive with a rotary element (6) and with an element that is movable in a translatory manner. A rotation of the rotary element (6) may result in a translatory motion of the element that is movable in a translatory manner. The rotor (2) and the rotary element (6) of the spindle drive are coupled to each other in a circumferential direction (U) such that a rotation of the rotor (2) results in a rotation of the rotary element (6) of the spindle drive (5). A rotational play (8) is formed between the rotor (2) and the rotary element (6) of the spindle drive in the circumferential direction (U).

  • Patent number: 11204093
    Abstract: An electronic module (1) includes a first electronic submodule (2) and at least one further electronic submodule (3, 4). The first electronic submodule (2) and the at least one further electronic submodule (3, 4) are electrically conductively connected to each other with an electrical conductor (5, 6), which is reversibly deformable, at least in sections. The first electronic submodule (2), the at least one further electronic submodule (3, 4), and the electrical conductor (5, 6) are encased in a fluid-tight manner with a casing (15), which is reversibly deformable, at least in sections. An actuator device includes at least one mechanical module and the electronic module (1). A method for manufacturing such an actuator device is also provided.
