Abstract: A high-power semiconductor device module is implemented with a cavity in the molding package. The cavity reduces a volume of the molding compound, preventing an accumulation of stress in the module, and associated warpage of the package. Chip assemblies within the module are designed to fit within the cavity, so that semiconductor dies, and sensing devices therein are protected from damage during a sintering process in which the module is mounted to a heat sink. After the sintering process, the cavity can be sealed with a gel material. The molding package described herein can also enhance reliability of the module during operation, ensuring that the product is robust for electric and hybrid electric vehicle applications.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing discovery frames and group addressed frames communication. For example, some embodiments relate to a method including generating a first frame to be transmitted to a first electronic device. An association identifier (AID) value of the first frame is set to a first value to indicate that the first frame is an individually addressed frame addressed to the first electronic device. The method further includes generating a second frame to be transmitted to a group of one or more electronic devices. An AID value of the second frame is set to a second value different from the first value. The method also includes transmitting the first frame and the second frame.

Abstract: Some embodiments include utilizing a multilink media access control (MAC) address structure to support multilink devices (MLDs) that can operate concurrently in more than one link such as extremely high throughput (EHT) access points (APs) and EHT stations (STA), where the multilink MAC address structure is compatible with legacy devices. An EHT AP can utilize a multilink basic service set (BSS) identification (BSSID) MAC address to communicate with an EHT STA identified by a multilink MAC address. Values of the multilink BSSID and the multilink MAC address of the EHT STA are independent of which of the multiple links are used in the communication. In addition, to utilizing a multilink BSSID, the EHT AP can also support unique link-specific MAC addresses to concurrently support legacy and MLD stations. The EHT STA can also utilize unique link-specific MAC addresses that can be different than the EHT AP's link-specific MAC addresses.

For example, the channel may include a primary channel and the second channel may include a secondary channel. Note that the third electronic device may include a SST station and the second electronic device may include a non-SST station. Then, the electronic device may receive an MU-clear-to-send (CTS) frame that includes a CTS in a third channel associated with the third electronic device. Moreover, the third channel may be equal to or a subset of the second channel, and/or the third channel may include a CTS reception channel associated with the electronic device.

Abstract: A Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci-resistant short WZ introgression segment and use thereof are provided. Compared with a long WZ introgression segment, the short WZ introgression segment is reduced by a drag gene component of at least 500 Kb.

The wireless devices may transmit the clear-to-send frames on the allocated frequency resource units. The clear-to-send frames can include an indication of partial or full availability for the transmit opportunity.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit, a comparator circuit, an encoder, and a compensation circuit. The DAC circuit receives a reference voltage and provides an output signal based on the reference voltage. The comparator circuit compares the output signal with an analog input signal and generates a comparison signal. A reset command is generated based on the output signal being greater than the analog input signal. The encoder splits a ripple associated with the reference voltage into multiple pulses in response to a reset command. The compensation circuit generates, responsive to the reset command, compensation pulses to compensate the multiple pulses.
