Abstract: Disclosed herein is a power converter circuit for a LED lighting device. The power converter includes a pair of input terminals adapted to be connected to a signal source, at least one LED, a first circuit adapted to supply current to the at least one LED and including: a first bi-directional switch connected between one input terminal and one side of the at least one LED, and a second bi-directional switch connected between the other side of the at least one LED and the other input terminal, and a second circuit adapted to supply current to the at least one LED and including: a third bi-directional switch connected between the other input terminal and the one side of the at least one LED, and a fourth bi-directional switch connected between the one input terminal and the other side of the at least one LED.

Abstract: Embodiments of an illumination device including LEDs for connection to an existing fluorescent lamp fixture including a conventional ballast described. One illumination device includes protection circuitry configured to protect the illumination device from the ballast current signal, a full-wave rectifier, a smoothing filter electrically coupled to the full wave rectifier, and a current regulator power circuit electrically coupled to the smoothing filter and the LEDS. The current regulator power circuit can include a first switching element configured to operate in response to a first (PWM) ON/OFF control signal; a current controller electrically coupled to a gate of the first switching element, the current controller configured to generate the first PWM control signal; and a current sense resistor electrically coupled to the first switching element and configured to sense the current through the LEDS, wherein the sensed current is fed back to the current controller.

Abstract: System and method for enhancing the torque output of a field oriented induction motor including a controller having a plurality of predetermined control parameters operable for processing input signals to generate output signals. The plurality of predetermined control parameters are dependent upon the nature of the input signals and the operational state of the motor. A sensor system is operable for communicating feedback signals related to the output signals and the operational state of the motor from the motor to the controller.
