Prabou RANGANATHAN 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: 11129275
    Abstract: A power supply comprises a main circuit board and a multilayer power transmission board electrically coupled to the main circuit board. The multilayer board includes a conductive neutral layer having an inner side, a conductive line layer having an inner side facing the inner side of the conductive neutral layer, and a dielectric medium positioned between the conductive neutral layer and the conductive line layer. The power supply also comprises a first conductive outer layer positioned adjacently to an outer side of the conductive neutral layer, a second conductive outer layer positioned adjacently to an outer side of the conductive line layer, and a conductive plating material positioned within a slot formed in the multilayer power transmission board and covering an interior portion of the multilayer power transmission board facing the slot. The conductive plating material electrically couples the first and second conductive outer layers.

  • Patent number: 10798818
    Abstract: A power supply includes a main circuit board and a multilayer power transmission board for transmitting power from one area of the main circuit board to another area of the main circuit board. The main circuit board includes a power input connector having power connections. The multilayer power transmission board includes conductive layers electrically coupled to the power connections of the power input connector, and a dielectric medium positioned between each of the conductive layers. The conductive layers of the multilayer board may include at least two conductive neutral layers and at least two conductive line layers positioned in an alternating configuration. Other example power supplies, multilayer boards and methods of manufacturing power supplies are also disclosed.
