Abstract: A capacitor packaging having a central termination and three or more capacitors (or groups of capacitors) arranged about the central termination. The electrical flow paths between the termination and the capacitors or groups of capacitors are of substantially the same length. The capacitors or groups of capacitors may be arranged in a generally circular pattern with the termination centered on the center. The termination may include first and second terminals. The capacitors may be mounted to a printed circuit board (“PCB”) with traces on opposite surfaces of the PCB providing electrical flow paths from the terminals to opposite legs of the capacitors. The capacitor packaging may include a primary PCB with a first circular arrangement of capacitors and a secondary PCB with a second circular arrangement of capacitors. The capacitors may be sandwiched between the PCBs with the second arrangement of capacitors disposed concentrically inwardly of the first arrangement.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a heat sink for circuitry, such as a power module, that facilitates removal of heat from the circuitry. To improve power density of power modules, not only electrical but also thermal optimization may be carried out as the two subsystems closely interact with each other.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include identifying a controller-based network. The controller-based network may include a controller that enables centralized management of a flow of packets among devices by providing a centralized control plane for the controller-based network. The method may further include receiving a test scenario that includes at least one trigger capable of causing a fault in the controller-based network. The method may also include receiving an automation template having at least one test parameter for utilizing the centralized control plane to execute the test scenario in the controller-based network. The method may additionally include using the centralized control plane to automatically execute the test scenario on the controller-based network in accordance with the test parameter. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
