Patent number: 9860987Abstract: An electronic assembly comprises a semiconductor device that has conductive pads on a semiconductor first side and a metallic region on a semiconductor second side opposite the first side. A lead frame provides respective separate terminals that are electrically and mechanically connected to corresponding conductive pads. A first heat sink comprises a first component having a mating side. A portion of the mating side is directly bonded with the metallic region of the semiconductor device. A circuit board has an opening for receiving the semiconductor device. The lead frame extends outward toward the circuit board or a board first side of the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Brij N. Singh, Thomas Roan, Andrew D. Wieland, Neal D. Clements

Patent number: 9439278Abstract: A capacitor comprises a first winding member, where the first winding member comprises a first dielectric layer and a first conductive layer. A second winding member comprises a second dielectric layer and second conductive layer. The first winding member is interleaved, partially or entirely, with the second winding layer. A dielectric shell or shell is adapted to at least radially contain or border the first winding member and the second winding member. The first winding member is electrically connected to a first conductive end. A second winding member is electrically connected to a second conductive end. The second conductive end is opposite the first conductive end. The first conductive end forms a first lead; the second conductive end forms a second lead.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Brij N.

Patent number: 8047760Abstract: A conduit connector assembly for attachments on a loader includes a mounting plate with at least one coupler section mounted on the plate and secured rigidly to a forward end of one of the lift arms of a loader. The coupler section or sections are connected with conduits to power or electrical signal sources on the loader. The coupler section or sections on the lift arm are connectable to mating coupler sections attached to conduits from an attachment that requires power and/or control signals for operation. The coupler sections are supported to one side of the lines of vision that an operator in an operator's cab of the loader needs for watching the attachment.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2008Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Clark Equipment CompanyInventors: Thomas Roan, Travis Mackey, Lance Kistner, Rodney Koch
