Patent ID: 11917797
Assignee: FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A heat sink capacitor, the heat sink capacitor comprising:
a positive (P) bus, wherein the P bus is comprised of electrically conductive material;
a negative (N) bus, wherein the N bus is comprised of electrically conductive material;
a first dielectric material;
a second dielectric material; and
a heat sink comprising a first side and a second side, the first side of the heat sink attached to the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material, wherein the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material are separated by a portion of the heat sink, wherein the first dielectric material electrically insulates the P bus from the first side of the heat sink and the portion of the heat sink that separates the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material to form a first capacitor, and wherein the second dielectric material electrically insulates the N bus from the first side of the heat sink and the portion of the heat sink that separates the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material to form a second capacitor.
