摘要： A Seebeck effect thermal sensor is formed in an integrated fashion with a power-dissipating device such as a power MOSFET. The integrated device generates a temperature difference between a relatively cold peripheral area and a relatively warm central area, the temperature difference having a known relationship to electrical operating conditions of the device. A structure for a power MOSFET includes two side-by-side arrays of source/drain diffusions. The Seebeck sensor has warm junctions at the central area and cold junctions at the peripheral area, and generates an electrical output signal having a known relationship to the temperature difference between the peripheral and central areas to provide an indication of the electrical operating conditions of the device. One Seebeck sensor includes alternating metal and polysilicon traces, wherein the polysilicon traces lie between source and drain diffusions of a power MOSFET just as do active polysilicon gates. Multiple pairs of conductors can be placed in series to obtain a higher-gain Seebeck sensor.

摘要： The invention provides a temperature sensor on the basis of a thermocouple constituted by two different metals. The first metal is provided in the form of an electrically insulated wire, having a blank uninsulated portion. The second metal is constituted by a jacket member enclosing the insulated wire. The jacket member is in electrical contact with the insulated wire via the blank uninsulated portion to thereby form a measuring junction. As a feed line, an electrically insulated copper wire is provided whose free end has a blank portion. The first wire is wound around the copper wire and projects over the free end thereof. The jacket member extends over the blank uninsulated portion of the carrier wire and is in electrical contact therewith. Due to the fact that the same material is chosen for the jacket member and for the carrier wire, i.e. copper, the carrier wire can be used as electrical feed line. The coaxial jacket member is provided, at least in the region of the measuring junction, with a reflective coating.

摘要： A radiation sensor which includes a thermopile for detecting radiant energy. The thermopile and a support rim for the thermopile are fabricated as an integrated unit to form a support chip. The support chip is mated to a mating chip so that the thermopile is positioned in an inner cavity region of the radiation sensor. The sensor has a window which permits the transmission of radiant energy into the enclosure such that the radiant energy impinges upon a central absorber region of the thermopile.

摘要： An electronic module is provided having an integrated thermoelectric cooling assembly disposed therein coupled to the module's electronic device. The thermoelectric assembly includes one or more thermoelectric stages and a thermal space transformer, for example, disposed between a first thermoelectric stage and a second thermoelectric stage. The electronic device is mounted to a substrate with the thermoelectric assembly disposed in thermal contact with the electronic device and a thermally conductive cap is positioned over the thermoelectric assembly, and is also in thermal contact with the thermoelectric assembly. Power to the thermoelectric assembly can be provided using electrically conductive springs disposed between one or more stages of the assembly and pads on an upper surface of the substrate, which electrically connect to power planes disposed within the substrate.

摘要： Nearly-random electron motion in the primary wire of a transformer is amplified by that transformer, and the varying peaks of voltage drive some current pulses through a rectifying diode.

摘要： A thermoelectric microactuator on a substrate includes a first temperature control element having a first surface bonded to the substrate and having a second surface. A first electrically nonconductive layer has a first surface bonded to the second surface of the first temperature control element and has a second surface. An actuator arm includes a first region bonded to the second surface of the first nonconductive layer and includes a flexure contiguously extending from the first region to an end cantilevered beyond the first nonconductive layer and forming an axis at the junction of the flexure and the first region. The first temperature control element controls the temperature of the actuator arm to thereby deflect the flexure about the axis.

摘要： The present invention relates to generation of electricity by high-pressure, high-enthalpy cryogenic vapor formed by absorption of heat from a geothermal heat source. The cryogen is injected into a U-tube or an open tube heat exchanger extending to the bottom of a geothermal well and thermal energy is gained by the cryogen, causing the cryogen to vaporize into high-enthalpy cryogenic vapor that returns to the surface to power a rotary vane motor that drives an electrical generator. Also, electricity is generated by a geothermal thermoelectric generator placed either underground or above ground using heat extracted from the bottom of the geothermal well via a U-tube or an open tube heat exchanger. The cryogenic vapor is capable of air-lift pumping water from the well. The electricity generated may be used to electrolyze the water into hydrogen and oxygen.
