The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling and compensating reactive power consumption in an electricity distribution network by means of one or more power converter devices. Each power converter device may be configured to provide active power to a respective power consumer such as a mechanical load. The systems and methods herein further pertain to mitigating voltage harmonic components in the electricity distribution network by means of the one or more power converter devices. A distributed control system comprising a plurality of power converter devices for counteracting reactive power consumption and/or harmonic mitigation in the electricity distribution network has also been disclosed.

A surface mountable heat dissipator configured to be in thermal contact with a designated heat generating component such as a transistor on a printed circuit board the heat dissipator is formed by a strip of sheet metal bent into a loop, two ends of the bent strip of sheet metal are joined to render the loop a closed loop a mounting portion of the bent strip of sheet metal is substantially flat, and is configured to be surface mounted. A closed loop of relatively thin metal gives the heat dissipator satisfactory mechanical stability with a relatively small amount of material, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and mass. The low mass ensures that only a low amount of force is exerted upon the heat dissipator and its solder joins when it is subject to external shocks and vibrations. This increases robustness and lifetime of the overall product implementing the heat dissipator.

Disclosed are exemplary methods for forming three-dimensional (3D) thermal joints using thermal interface materials (TIMs), e.g., metal amalgams, low melting alloys, liquid metals, rheology controlled TIMs, etc. Also disclosed are exemplary embodiments of three-dimensional (3D) thermal joints including TIMs, e.g., metal amalgams, low melting alloys, liquid metals, rheology controlled TIMs, etc. The 3D thermal joint may be used to fill in gap(s) between a heat source(s) and another component(s) of an electronic device. For example, the 3D thermal joint may be used to fill in the gaps between multiple heat sources of varying heights (e.g., integrated circuit (IC) components of varying heights, 2D processor, 2.5D processor, 3D processor, chiplet segmented processor, other component(s) having multiple heights, etc.) and a heat removal/dissipation component (e.g., a heat sink, a heat spreader, a heat pipe, a vapor chamber, a water block, a device exterior case, a housing, a chassis, etc.).

In an aspect there is provided a computer-implemented method for designing an IC comprising CFET devices. The method comprises obtaining a functional description of the integrated circuit, and generating, based on the functional description, a layout of the integrated circuit. The layout defines first and second cell rows extending in parallel in a horizontal direction of the layout, and having equal row heights in a vertical direction of the layout. Generating the layout comprises placing first and second cells of a standard cell library in the layout. Each cell has a cell height equal to the row height, and comprises first and second cell edges extending in parallel in the horizontal direction. Each cell further comprises at least one CFET device having an active pattern extending in the horizontal direction. Each cell further comprises at least one local interconnect (LI) disposed on the second cell edge and configured to connect to a top and/or bottom S/D of a CFET device of the cell. The first and second cells are placed in the first and second cell rows, respectively, such that: the first cell edge of the first cell aligns with a first row boundary, the first cell edge of the second cell aligns with a second row boundary, and the second cell edges of the first and second cells align with and abut each other along a third row boundary between the first and second cell rows. The placement of the first and second cells is constrained such that the local interconnects of the first and second cells do not overlap.

An arrangement for producing a reusable hygiene product comprising a baseplate (5) and at least one mold (7) comprising a central indentation (42) facing the baseplate (5) and a substantially flat section (44) surrounding the indentation (42). The baseplate (5) and at least one mold (7) are configured to be heated to an elevated temperature, and are displaceable to a position in which the mold (7) is in proximity with the base plate (5).
