Abstract: A power converter assembly includes a housing, a cold plate in the housing, and a set of power converter components on the cold plate. The cold plate is configured to receive a coolant. A first medium in the housing surrounds the cold plate and components. An expandable heat transfer structure is attached to one of the cold plate and the housing.

Abstract: A fluid mover and method of operating includes a pair of spaced electrodes, a power supply electrically coupled to the pair of spaced electrodes, and at least one environment sensor. The fluid mover also includes a controller configured to controllably operate at least one of the power supply or the pair of spaced electrodes.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for thermally conductive shock absorbers for medical imaging probes. An example medical imaging probe may have, at least, a transducer disposed underneath a contact surface of the medical imaging probe, with the transducer configured to transmit and receive signals based on a medical imaging technique; a support structure disposed underneath the transducer; and a thermally conductive shock absorber (TCSA) layer disposed between the transducer and the support structure, with the thermally conductive shock absorber (TCSA) layer is configured to facilitate both of thermal transfer in a direction from the contact surface into the support structure, and absorbing at least a portion of impact force applied to at least the contact surface. The support structure may include a heat sink.

Abstract: A ventilator system is presented. The ventilator system includes a controller configured to generate a first control signal for a first time-period and a second control signal for a second time-period during an inspiration time. Also, the ventilator system includes a rotary pump configured to change one of a pressure and a flow rate of the drive gas to a first value if the first control signal is received and change the one of the pressure and the flow rate of the drive gas to a second value if the second control signal is received. Further, the rotary pump is configured to deliver the drive gas to cause supply of a medical gas during the inspiration time, wherein the medical gas is supplied based on the one of the pressure and the flow rate of the drive gas delivered from the rotary pump.
