Abstract: A high frequency, low impedance network is integrated into the substrate level of a power module for the reduction of electromagnetic interference (“EMI”). In one embodiment, capacitance is electrically connected to at least one of the positive conducting layer in a substrate or the negative conducting layer in a substrate and a ground. Integrating a capacitive network of low stray inductance in a substrate of a power module allows relatively small, inexpensive capacitors to be used.

Abstract: An assembly for cooling an electric motor, the assembly comprising a housing, a stator, a rotor, a winding, an end-winding integrally formed with the winding, and a jet impingement device operable for exposing the end-winding to a temperature controlled stream of fluid. A method for transferring heat between a stream of impinging fluid and the surface of an electric motor end-winding. An electric motor comprising a jet impingement cooling assembly.

Abstract: A DC bus for use in a power module has a positive DC conductor bus plate parallel with a negative DC conductor bus plate. One or more positive leads are connected to the positive bus and are connectable to a positive terminal of a power source. One or more negative leads are connected to the negative bus and are connectable to a negative terminal of a power source. The DC bus has one or more positive connections fastenable from the positive bus to the high side of a power module. The DC bus also has one or more negative connections fastenable from the negative bus to the low side of the power module. The positive bus and negative bus permit counter-flow of currents, thereby canceling magnetic fields and their associated inductances, and the positive and negative bus are connectable to the center portion of a power module.

Abstract: An electrical connector for use in a power module includes a first end portion for forming an electrical connection with a substrate, a second end portion, and a compliant portion situated between the first end portion and the second end portion. The compliant portion includes a compressed position and a decompressed position. The first end portion is configured for forming an electrical connection with a substrate if the compliant portion is in the compressed position.

Abstract: An anti-theft device (16) for attachment to a steering wheel (18) in a motor vehicle (20) comprising a stationary member (22) having an open side socket (24) on a first end to allow pivoting therein. A structure (26) on a second end of the stationary member (22) is for engaging with a first segment (28) of the steering wheel (18) from the inside. An element (30) extends longitudinally from the first segment engaging structure (26), for preventing clockwise rotation of the steering wheel (18). A first movable member (32) is provided. A component (34) on a first end of the first movable member (32) is for pivoting within the socket (24). A structure (36) on a second end of the first movable member (32) is for engaging with a second segment (38) of the steering wheel (18) from the inside opposite from the first segment (28) of the steering wheel (18). A second movable member (40) is also provided. A component (42) on a first end of the second movable member (40), is for pivoting within the socket (24).
