Publication number: 20230170306Abstract: A power module includes a power substrate, a number of power semiconductor die, and a number of connector pins. The power substrate includes a number of conductive traces. The power semiconductor die are mounted on the power substrate and electrically coupled to the conductive traces. The connector pins are each electrically coupled to a different one of the conductive traces and configured to be interconnected such that the power semiconductor die provide an active front-end and a switching power converter. By providing the power semiconductor die such that they can be interconnected to form an active front-end and a switching power converter in the same power module, the power module may provide a significantly more compact power converter system using both an active front-end and switching power converter.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2023Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Daniel John Martin, Brett Edward Sparkman, Ty McNutt, Paul Wheeler

Publication number: 20220195121Abstract: A composition for use in modifying the adhesion properties of silicone rubber compositions is described. The composition comprises alkoxy silanes, such as alkoxy silanes further comprising additional chemical functional groups such as epoxides, esters, and anhydrides; diffusion promoters that are completely or partially immiscible in the silicone rubber composition being modified; and compounds that can balance the hydride content of the silicone rubber compositions being modified. Modified curable silicone rubber compositions and methods of modifying the adhesive properties of silicone rubber compositions are also described. In particular, use of the presently disclosed compositions can provide modified silicone rubber compositions having selective adhesion for surfaces comprising thermoplastic and thermoset polymers as compared to metal surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2020Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Paul Wheeler, James Halladay, Rick Ziebell, Ross Zambanini

Patent number: 10318536Abstract: A method and a system to provide generate a search result ranking function, processing a search, and presenting search results are described to provide generate a search result ranking function, processing a search, and presenting search results are described. In one embodiment, a genetic algorithm module receives a plurality of factors, a test set of items, and an ordering solution representing the preferred ordering of the test set of items, generates a potential ranking function based on the plurality of factors, and apply the potential ranking function to each item in the test set of items to generate an ordering of items associated with the potential ranking function. The genetic algorithm module also compares the ordering of items with the ordering solution, and identifies, based on the comparison, the potential ranking function as a solution ranking function. A ranking function may assign a ranking score to items in a set of active items, the ranking score based on the solution ranking function.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Stephen Severance, Paul Wheeler
