  • Patent number: 10765043
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose a flexible connection of a metallic extruded profile to a connecting body for cooling electrical components. A heat exchanger for an electrical component comprises a metallic extruded profile having at least one channel for a cooling agent to flow through, the metallic extruded profile including an outer circumferential surface and a first end, a non-metallic connecting body including an accommodating region for receiving the first end of the metallic extruded profile at a first opening corresponding to a cross-section of the first end, the first opening having an inner circumferential surface, and a bonding layer between the outer circumferential surface of the first end received in the accommodating region and the inner circumferential surface of the opening. The bonding layer is configured to establish a mechanically flexible bond between the metallic extruded profile and the non-metallic connecting body. Embodiments further disclose a production method for a heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 8766667
    Abstract: Asynchronous digital circuits are described, including arbitration and routing primitives for asynchronous and mixed-timing networks. An asynchronous arbitration primitive has two data inputs and one data output. A mutual exclusion element is used to select the first-arriving data request from one of the two inputs to the output. A asynchronous routing primitive has one data input and two data outputs. The incoming data is routed to one of the two outputs based on a routing bit accompanying the data. The primitives use handshaking with request and acknowledge signals to ensure that data is passed when neighboring circuits are ready to receive or send data.
