Patent number: 11923344Abstract: A power module is provided with a substrate, power devices, and a housing. The power devices are mounted on device pads of the substrate and arranged to provide a power circuit having a first input, a second input, and at least one output. First and second power terminals provide first and second inputs for the power circuit. At least one output power terminal provides at least one output. The housing encompasses the substrate, the power devices, and portions of the first and second input power terminals as well as the at least one output power terminal. The first and second input power terminals extend out of a first side of the housing, and the at least one output power terminal extends out of a second side of the housing, the first side being opposite the second side.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: WOLFSPEED, INC.Inventors: Brice McPherson, Shashwat Singh, Roberto M. Schupbach

Publication number: 20230335473Abstract: The present disclosure describes a power module having a substrate, first and second pluralities of vertical power devices, and first and second terminal assemblies. The substrate has a top surface with a first trace and a second trace. The first plurality of vertical power devices and the second plurality of vertical power devices are electrically coupled to form part of a power circuit. The first plurality of vertical power devices is electrically and mechanically directly coupled between the first trace and a bottom of a first elongated bar of the first terminal assembly. The second plurality of vertical power devices are electrically and mechanically directly coupled between the second trace and a bottom of a second elongated bar of the second terminal assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Brice McPherson, Brandon Passmore, Roberto M. Schupbach, Jennifer Stabach-Smith

Patent number: 8519866Abstract: A telemetry system for use in a combustion turbine engine (10) having a compressor (12), a combustor and a turbine (16) that includes a sensor (50, 74) in connection with a turbine blade (18) or vane (22). A telemetry transmitter circuit (210) may be affixed to the turbine blade (18) with a first connecting material (52, 152) deposited on the turbine blade (18) for routing electronic data signals from the sensor (50, 74) to the telemetry transmitter circuit (210), the electronic data signals indicative of a condition of the turbine blade (18). An induction power system for powering the telemetry transmitter circuit (210) may include a rotating data antenna (202) affixed to the turbine blade (18) with a second connecting material (140) deposited on the turbine blade (18) for routing electronic data signals from the telemetry transmitter circuit (210) to the rotating data antenna (202).Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2007Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Siemens Energy, Inc.Inventors: David J. Mitchell, Anand A. Kulkarni, Ramesh Subramanian, Edward R. Roesch, Rod Waits, John R. Fraley, Roberto M. Schupbach, Alexander B. Lostetter
