  • Publication number: 20240188263
    Abstract: A power module for a converter for use in an at least partly electrified vehicle has at least one power switch which can be switched for converting an input current into an output current, a plurality of power terminals which are electrically connected to current electrodes of the power switch and are designed to feed the input current or to withdraw the output current, a signal pin which is designed to impress a control signal generated by a control device on a control electrode of the power switch, and a shielding jacket which is potentially isolated from the signal pin and surrounds at least sections of the signal pin.

  • Publication number: 20230355335
    Abstract: A surgical robotic arm includes a first link and a second link, wherein at least one of the first link or second link is movable relative to each other. The surgical robotic arm also includes a sensor assembly coupled to at least one of the first link or the second link. The sensor assembly includes a force sensing resistor assembly configured to measure force and an interface member disposed over the force sensing resistor assembly, the interface member configured to engage the at least one force sensing resistor assembly due to the interface member contacting an obstruction.

  • Publication number: 20220149752
    Abstract: A half-bridge having semiconductor switch elements embedded in a modular layer system that comprises a contact plane and a metal plating for establishing contact with the semiconductor switch elements, wherein the signal connections and power connections are located on a first surface of the substrate, wherein the modular layer system, signal connections and power connections are cast in a casting compound, wherein external sections of the power connections and/or signal connections formed in the conductor frame each extend from the casting compound, from a second surface that is orthogonal to the first surface, wherein the external sections each have an end that is perpendicular to the first surface.
