    W pracy om贸wiono budow臋 i zasad臋 dzia艂ania autorskiego systemu do automatycznego pomiaru parametr贸w termicznych, w tym czasowych przebieg贸w przej艣ciowej impedancji termicznej oraz rezystancji termicznej p贸艂przewodnikowych przyrz膮d贸w mocy. W rozwa偶anym systemie zaimplementowano popularn膮 impulsow膮 metod臋 pomiaru parametr贸w termicznych opart膮 na wykorzystaniu krzywej ch艂odzenia elementu p贸艂przewodnikowego. Dzia艂anie systemu pomiarowego zilustrowano wynikami pomiar贸w parametr贸w termicznych wybranych p贸艂przewodnikowych przyrz膮d贸w mocy.Generally, manufacturers of semiconductor devices do not provide in datasheets detailed information about thermal parameters of semiconductor devices, i.e. time waveform of junction-to-ambient transient thermal impedance or dependence of junction-to-ambient thermal resistance versus dissipated power. Therefore, the designers of electronic circuits do not have reliable information about thermal properties of semiconductor devices in the designed circuit [1 - 3]. The paper discusses the construction and operation of automatic measurement system of thermal parameters, including transient thermal impedance and thermal resistance of semiconductor power devices. Block diagram of the measurement system is shown in Fig. 1. In the measurement system, the popular Rubin and Oettinger [6] pulse method for measuring thermal parameters based on the cooling curve of semiconductor device, has been implemented. For reading and archiving the results of measurements, A/D and D/A converter USB-1608GX-2AO fabricated by Measurement Computing [5], has been used. Usefulness of the measuring system is illustrated by results of measurements of thermal parameters of silicon MOSFET (IRFR420A - International Rectifier), silicon carbide MESFET (CRF24010 - Cree) and silicon carbide Schottky diode (IDT06S60C - International Rectifier). As seen in Fig. 3, the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient strongly depends on semiconductor device dissipated power. For example, the thermal resistance of MOSFET decreases about 20% with increase of the dissipated power from 0.1 W to 1 W, at constant ambient temperature. It has been shown, that realization of such measurements allows to obtain more precise information about the thermal parameters of semiconductor devices in comparison to the device catalogue data

    We develop a new algorithm for the estimation of rare event probabilities associated with the steady-state of a Markov stochastic process with continuous state space Rd and discrete time steps (i.e., a discrete-time Rd-valued Markov chain). The algorithm, which we coin Recurrent Multilevel Splitting (RMS), relies on the Markov chain's underlying recurrent structure, in combination with the Multilevel Splitting method. Extensive simulation experiments are performed, including experiments with a nonlinear stochastic model that has some characteristics of complex climate models. The numerical e
