    Abstract: A method to form a three-dimensional photonic crystal template with a gradient structure involves irradiating a photoresist composition of a thickness of at least 15 μm from at least four laser beams to yield a periodic patterned with a percolating matrix of mass in constructive volumes of a cured photoresist composition and destructive volumes of voids free of condensed matter where the proportion of constructive volume displays a gradient from the irradiated surface to the substrate after development. For a given light intensity, photoinitiator concentration in the photoresist composition, and a given thickness, by irradiating for a relatively short period, a three-dimensional photonic crystal template displaying a gradient having greater constructive volume proximal the air interface forms and a relatively long irradiation period results in a gradient having greater constructive volume proximal the substrate.

    Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) circumferentially disposed around a motor and a thermal management assembly (TMA) thermally connected to the flexible PCB. One or more switching semiconductor devices are disposed on a first surface of the flexible PCB. The TMA includes a cooling jacket, at least one jacket manifold formed through the cooling jacket and a thermal compensation base layer thermally coupled to the cooling jacket. The cooling jacket is mounted around a circumference of the motor and has a mounting surface concentric with the circumference of the motor. The mounting surface is coupled to the first surface of the flexible PCB. The at least one jacket manifold has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet defining a fluid flow area therebetween. The thermal compensation base layer is thermally coupled to the cooling jacket and the one or more switching semiconductor devices.

    Abstract: An integrated power control assembly mounted on an axial end of a three-phase motor includes a substrate, two input busbars each of positive and negative polarities alternatively spaced apart on the substrate, a plurality of sets of paired devices, and three output busbars corresponding to the three phases of the motor, wherein a set of paired devices includes a switching semiconductor and a diode. An inner input busbar has edges adjacent to an inner input busbar of opposite polarity and an outer input busbar of opposite polarity and configured to have at least twice as many devices as the outer input busbars. One or more sets of paired devices are disposed axially on outer input busbars and on inner input busbars along the edges. An individual output busbar is disposed over and electrically coupled to one or more sets of paired devices disposed on adjacent input busbars of opposite polarity.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, a cooling assembly includes a heat-generating device, a metal inverse opal (MIO) layer, a shared coolant reservoir, a passive heat exchange circuit, and an active heat exchange circuit. The MIO layer is bonded to the heat-generating device. The shared coolant reservoir contains a coolant fluid. The passive heat exchange circuit directs coolant fluid from the shared coolant reservoir through the MIO layer and back to the shared coolant reservoir. The active heat exchange circuit includes a pump and a heat exchanger, wherein the active heat exchange circuit draws the coolant fluid from the shared coolant reservoir through the heat exchanger and returns the coolant fluid to the shared coolant reservoir.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a fault or model mismatch are disclosed. A system includes a processor, a memory, and one or more sensors. The sensors may detect data associated with an electronic device. The memory may store processor executable instructions to: compute T2 and Q statistics, over a time period, and apply a model mismatch and fault detection logic based on the T2 and Q statistics. The model mismatch and fault detection logic may: count consecutive instances where a T2 statistic exceeds a T2 threshold via a T2 counter, update a probability of fault based on the T2 counter, count consecutive instances where a Q statistic exceeds a Q threshold via a Q counter, update a probability of model mismatch based on the Q counter, and detect one of a fault or a model mismatch based on a probability of fault threshold and a probability of model mismatch threshold.
