The electric circuit serves to electrically block any high voltage component from the input terminals from reaching the output terminals, while allowing an on-state voltage of at least one semiconductor power switch in the associated electric power device to pass to the at least two output terminals. The front-end allows low voltage equipment to be connected to its output terminals for determining an on-state voltage of switches of the electric power device. Especially, embodiments with self-powered reference voltage circuits provided by zener diodes allow compact low cost versions for use in e.g. portable test equipment or as part of permanently installed health condition monitoring of power devices. The front-end device can be used as a simple and low cost solution for non-invasive health condition monitoring of power devices, e.g. power converters in such as power electric generation system or electric vehicles. Such monitoring allows predictive maintenance to be performed to avoid any faults in the power device that may cause permanent damages.
Existing modular multi-level converters can be bulky because their submodule capacitors are comparatively large. To address this shortcoming in the state of the art, the present disclosure provides electronic power circuits and their use in power converters and in modular multi-level converters. The disclosed power circuits include connection terminals connected to electrically controllable bidirectional two-quadrant switches and to capacitors, as well as inductors that are magnetically coupled and operate to equalize voltages of the capacitors.

An electric converter for converting AC or DC input into an electric AC or DC output. A swap circuit with controllable electric switches serves to selectively swap connection of a plurality of DC power banks (DCBs) between an input terminal and an output terminal, thus selectively connecting the DCBs to an electric source or an electric load.

JUNCTION TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT IN A POWER SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE
A method for determining the temperature of a power semiconductor, where the power semiconductor includes an auxiliary emitter terminal and an emitter terminal, and a resistance component arranged between. The resistance component is thermally coupled and/or integrated into the semiconductor die. The resistance component is arranged between the auxiliary emitter terminal and the emitter terminal, and lies in the path of the control current. The resistance component has a temperature dependent resistance characteristic. A measurement circuit is used to inject a sufficient sensing current, or apply a suitable voltage, to the resistance component between the auxiliary emitter and emitter terminals, in order to generate an output signal that is dependent on the temperature dependent resistance of the resistance component. The output signal can be assessed with respect to a predefined temperature characteristic curve, obtained through a calibration procedure. Thus, the temperature of the semiconductor is measured.

A neurofeedback system can be used by a person for training, so as to reduce musculoskeletal pain. The system comprises a non-invasive EEG sensor to sense EEG signal from the person. A processor system, e.g. a tablet or the like, receives data values from the EEG sensor and calculates a EEG power magnitude within the EEG alpha band accordingly. The processor system is programmed to determine a baseline value indicative of EEG alpha band power, and determine, in real-time, EEG alpha band power in response to data from the EEG sensor. On a display, the processor system displays a real-time visual indication of the EEG alpha band power values compared to said baseline value. At least one attribute, e.g. color, of the visual indication is determined in response to the real-time values being above or below a threshold which is determined in response to said baseline value. In preferred embodiments, a feedback device with a sensor for sensing a start of body movement of the person provides timing feedback to the processor system to allow calculation of EEG alpha power in the preparation phase before start of the movement, and to use this as the visual EEG feedback. Specific frequency-time signatures for a specific type of pain may be used for the baseline value used in the feedback to the person during training.
