    Abstract: A power electronics assembly includes a circuit board assembly including a first electrically insulating layer, an electrically insulating substrate, a laminate panel provided between the first electrically insulating layer and the electrically insulating substrate, and one or more electrically conductive layers provided within the electrically insulating substrate. The laminate panel includes a power electronics device assembly including an S-cell and a power electronics device. The S-cell includes a graphite layer and a metal layer encasing the graphite layer. A recess is formed in an outer surface of the metal layer and the power electronics device is disposed within the recess of the outer surface of the S-cell.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing heating and cooling to a cabin of an autonomous or semiautonomous electric vehicle. A system includes one or more autonomous or semiautonomous electric vehicle components generating thermal energy as a byproduct of operation, a radiator fluidly coupled to the one or more vehicle components and positioned downstream from the one or more vehicle components such that the radiator receives at least a portion of the thermal energy, a thermoelectric cooler thermally coupled to and located downstream from the radiator, and one or more bypass valves that control fluid flow from the radiator such that fluid flows directly to a cabin of the vehicle or flows through the thermoelectric cooler before flowing into the cabin.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a power electronics assembly includes a power device assembly further including an S-cell. The S-cell includes a first metal layer having a recess, a graphite layer bonded to the first metal layer, a second metal layer bonded to the graphite layer, and a ceramic layer, wherein the ceramic layer has a first metalized surface and a second metalized surface, and the first metalized surface is bonded to the second metal layer by a solder layer. The power electronics assembly further includes a power device disposed within the recess of the first metal layer, and a cold plate, wherein the second metalized surface of the ceramic layer is bonded to a surface of the cold plate.
