Abstract: A method for contacting and packaging a semiconductor chip of a power electronic component. The power electronic component has a first contact face produced in a first step via a multi-material printing process and a semiconductor chip, which is placed in a second step onto the first contact face. A ceramic insulation layer, which surrounds the semiconductor chip along its circumference and extends over the first contact face not covered by the semiconductor chip, is printed in a third step onto the first contact face. A second contact face is printed in a fourth step onto the ceramic insulation layer and the semiconductor chip. In a fifth step, the power electronic component is sintered by means of heat treatment.

Abstract: Moiré is an appealing visual effect observable when two or more repetitive patterns are superposed. We introduce a method for designing and fabricating level-line moirés on curved surfaces. These moiré shapes are obtained by superposing a partly absorbing or partly light deviating curved base layer and a curved revealing layer formed by a grating of transparent lines or cylindrical lenses. The distances between base layer and revealing layer are adapted to the locally varying distances between successive transparent lines or cylindrical lenses of the curved revealing layer grating. We demonstrate the quality of our method by rendered simulations and by fabrication. The resulting level-line moiré display devices can be manufactured using different fabrication techniques, from multi-material 3D printing to molding.

Abstract: A method for encoding high dynamic range (HDR) images involves providing a lower dynamic range (LDR) image, generating a prediction function for estimating the values for pixels in the HDR image based on the values of corresponding pixels in the LDR image, and obtaining a residual frame based on differences between the pixel values of the HDR image and estimated pixel values.
