Patent number: 8946889Abstract: A semiconductor module is provided which includes a semiconductor unit which is made by a resin mold. The resin mold has formed therein a coolant path through which a coolant flows to cool a semiconductor chip embedded in the resin mold. The resin mold also includes heat spreaders, and electric terminals embedded therein. Each of the heat spreaders has a fin heat sink exposed to the flow of the coolant. The fin heat sink is welded to a surface of each of the heat spreaders through an insulator, thus minimizing an electrical leakage from the heat spreader to the coolant.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Chikage Katou, Hiroaki Arai, Yoshiyuki Yamauchi, Yasuou Yamazaki, Naoki Sugimoto, Yasuyuki Sakai

Publication number: 20140160295Abstract: Systems and methods of detection and notification of potential road conditions are disclosed herein. One such method can include the acts of receiving a first set of data associated with the location on the road surface from a first vehicle and identifying a first subset of the first set of data. The first subset can be associated with the potential road condition. The method can also include the acts of calculating a probability associated with the potential road condition based at least in part on the first subset, determining whether the probability exceeds a threshold, and notifying at least one vehicle of the potential road condition when the probability exceeds the threshold upon the at least one vehicle approaching the location.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2012Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Tatsuya Kyomitsu, Naoki Sugimoto
