  • Publication number: 20240189747
    Abstract: An antibacterial filter, a method for manufacturing the filter, and an air purifier comprising the filter. The antibacterial filter contains a specific range of active copper particles bound to the surface of fibers, and thus can effectively prevent microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, harmful to the human body, from proliferating on or contaminating the filter surface, and further improve antibacterial performance and sustained antibacterial performance. Additionally, when the antimicrobial filter is applied to an air purifier, it is possible to supply purified air and, at the same time, further improve the durability and lifetime characteristics of the filter.

  • Publication number: 20240195293
    Abstract: A circuit for preventing power imbalance of a resonance-type power converter is proposed. The circuit may include a rectifier converting input alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) and frequency-controlled first and second resonant converter modules configured to receive an output voltage of the rectifier divided into two stages. The circuit may further include a controller outputting a first frequency command for controlling a frequency of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal supplied to a switching element of a first switching unit of the first resonant converter module. The circuit may further include a frequency compensator compensating for the first frequency command and then outputting a second frequency command for controlling a frequency of a PWM signal supplied to a switching element of a second switching unit of the second resonant converter module, so as to eliminate power imbalance between the first and second resonant converter modules.

The lead via can include via lateral sides defined by first concave portions and the lead protrusion can include protrusion lateral sides defined by second concave portions. The substrate encapsulant covers the first concave portions at a first side of the substrate but not the second concave portions so that the lead protrusion protrudes from the substrate encapsulant at a second side of the substrate. An electronic component can be adjacent to the first side of the substrate and electrically coupled to the conductive structure. A body encapsulant encapsulates portions of the electronic component and the substrate. The lead can further include a lead trace at the second side of the substrate.
