| 20110286893 | PLASMA MICROREACTOR APPARATUS, STERILISATION UNIT AND ANALYSER - Apparatus for the production of a product gas (eg hydrogen and ozone) comprises: a supply of reactant gas (eg oxygen and steam) ( | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110254177 | POWER ELECTRONIC PACKAGE HAVING TWO SUBSTRATES WITH MULTIPLE SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPS AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - A power electronic package includes: first and second high thermal conductivity insulating non-planar substrates; and multiple semiconductor chips and electronic components between the substrates. Each substrate includes multiple electrical insulator layers and patterned electrical conductor layers connecting to the electronic components, and further includes multiple raised regions or posts, which are bonded together so that the substrates are mechanically and electrically connected. The number, arrangement, and shape of the raised regions or posts are adjusted to have mechanical separation between the substrates. The electrical conductor layers are separated and isolated one another so that multiple electric circuits are provided on at least one of the substrates. | 10-20-2011 |
