Patents by Inventor Cui Xizhi

Cui Xizhi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11808819
    Abstract: A Battery Backup (BBU) device, method, and system is disclosed. A BBU cell includes a battery with an internal impedance. The BBU cell includes monitoring circuitry connected to the battery for monitoring a Status of Health (SOH) of the battery. The monitoring circuitry includes a MOSFET and a resistor connected in series and a master control unit connected to the MOSFET for controlling the MOSFET and determining the SOH of the battery.

  • Patent number: 11644880
    Abstract: A method, device, and system for balancing a supply current in a Power Supply Units (PSUs). The system includes a plurality of PSUs connected in parallel to a power bus. The method includes detecting a falling edge in a common Load Share (LS) signal and, in response to detecting the falling edge of the LS signal, enabling a field effect transistor (FET) and starting a timer. Prior to starting the timer, a time trigger is determined for the timer based on a current output level of a power source in the PSU. The method includes outputting a current at the current output level for the duration of the time trigger and, at the time trigger, releasing the FET and resetting the timer. The PSU includes a processor that monitors the LS signal. The LS signal determines a timing for outputting current by the PSU.
