Abstract: A foamed article is generally excellent in thermal insulation characteristics, but it is reduced in thermal insulation by the absorption of moisture and is much poor in the strength. Accordingly, there exists a need for a thermally insulating material exhibiting no hygroscopicity and satisfactory strength. A  method for producing a plastic foamed composite is provided, wherein a plastic powder or fine particles and polyolefin granules capable of undergoing crosslinking foaming are charged into a mold and are heated with rotation, to thereby form a foamed composite having a surface skin in one process step, which composite is not hygroscopic, has satisfactory strength, and is excellent as a thermal insulator. Further, a method, wherein the surface of polyolefin granules for crosslinking foaming is coated with a material having no or scarce capability for foaming and then the granules are molded, can provide cores comprising foamed granules having a size of, preferably, 5 to 50 mm and being coated with a reinforcing material having a thickness of 0.05 to 0.5 mm, which results in the production of a molded product which is lightweight, has satisfactory strength, and may be deformed but is not broken by a general impact.

Abstract: An adaptive gate drive for an inverter includes control circuitry having a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and includes power circuitry having a plurality of FETs for operating a switching device, such as a Trench Gate Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT device). The control circuitry provides switching signals for operating the switching device. In addition, the control circuitry receives signals of output current of the IGBT device, temperature of the IGBT device, and DC link voltage. The FPGA has a plurality of operating points stored therein. Each operating point has corresponding parameters for a control signal that is used to control the turn-on or turn-off behavior of the IGBT device. During operation, the control circuitry compares the measured current, voltage and temperature operating points stored in the FPGA and sends the corresponding parameters to the gate drive circuit.  The gate drive modifies the signal on the gate of the IGBT accordingly and thereby optimizes the turn-on and/or turn-off behavior of the device based on actual operating conditions.
