  • Electrical circuit for isolated voltage conversion
    Patent number: 10263526
    Abstract: A system includes a boost circuit, a capacitive circuit, and a converter circuit. The boost circuit receives a DC signal at a first DC voltage and generates an intermediate AC signal at a first AC voltage based on the DC signal. The capacitive circuit receives the intermediate AC signal at the first AC voltage and generates an isolated AC signal at the first AC voltage based on the intermediate AC signal at the first AC voltage. The converter circuit receives the isolated AC signal at the first AC voltage; generates a first isolated DC signal at a second DC voltage based on the isolated AC signal at the first AC voltage; and generates a second isolated DC signal at a third DC voltage based on the first isolated DC signal at the second DC voltage. The third DC voltage may be less than the second DC voltage.

  • Apparatus and method for monitoring output within a power strip
    Patent number: 8368379
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a PDU configured to reduce the risk of an abrupt interruption in the flow of electricity caused by a malfunctioning load or overloading of a PDU output connection. In some embodiments, a PDU is configured to enable the monitoring and control of electricity provided to one or more loads coupled to the PDU. In some embodiments, a PDU is configured to enable remote monitoring and reporting through the use of communication devices.
