Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide examples of an electrical panel (e.g., a modular electrical panel) that is configured to control a plurality of electrical loads. The electrical panel may include a control circuit, memory, a communication circuit, and an alternating current (AC) line feed and/or a direct current (DC) line feed. The electrical panel may also include a plurality of power supplies and a plurality of control modules, where more than one control module is associated with each of the plurality of power supplies. Each control module may configured to receive DC power from the associated power supply and provide an output voltage to at least one electrical load. The electrical panel provides flexibility as to whether each stage of conversion, regulation, and/or control is performed at a control module located within the electrical panel or performed at an accessory module located at an electrical load.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) is described that automatically detects the presence of an external magnetic field, such as that generated by an MRI device. The IMD includes a torque sensor configured to generate an output signal that varies as a function of a torque imposed on the torque sensor by an external magnetic field and a control module configured to control operation of the implantable medical device based on the signal output of the torque sensor.

Abstract: A torque sensor is described that detects the presence of an external magnetic field based on a torque imposed on a conductive coil of the sensor. The torque sensor includes a conductive coil forming a loop having one or more turns and a plurality of sensing elements adjacent to portions of the conductive coil. The sensing elements are configured to generate an output that changes as a function of a force imposed on the first sensing element by the respective portions of the conductive coil.

Abstract: A microelectronic package comprises a chip stack (110) that includes a substrate (111), a first die (112) over the substrate and a second die (113) over the first die, a first underfill layer (114) between the substrate and the first die, and a second underfill layer (115) between the first die and the second die. The microelectronic package further comprises a fluidic microchannel system (120) in the chip stack, and the fluidic microchannel system comprises a fluid inlet (121) and a fluid outlet (122) connected to each other by a fluidic passage (123).
