Abstract: An inverter for a vehicle is disclosed. The inverter for the vehicle illustratively includes: a power module provided with a power semiconductor device; a cooling module coupled to the power module and flowing a coolant therethrough; and a capacitor module mounted at the cooling module through a mounting unit and adapted to absorb a ripple current of the power module.

Abstract: A high frequency power inductance element capable of remarkably reducing a leakage by remarkably reducing an interwinding capacity, remarkably increasing heat radiation from coils, and remarkably improving productivity and a cost, comprising coils formed of a band-shaped conductor spirally wound in a cylindrical shape so that the wider surfaces thereof come flush with each other, an electrically insulated bobbin for installing the coils thereon, and cores inserted into the bobbin to form a closed magnetic circuit.

Abstract: An AC frequency conversion technique is provided by alternately switching between AC power lines at irregular times to yield a chopped sinusoid switched output waveform of given fundamental frequency. The technique does not rely on an input rectifier bridge nor on capacitive filtering to DC.

Abstract: A single to multiphase AC frequency conversion technique is provided by alternately switching between a pair of AC power lines at a plurality of sets of coordinated but irregular times to yield a plurality of chopped sinusoid switched output waveforms each of a given frequency phase shifted from each other.

Abstract: A single to multiphase AC frequency conversion technique is provided using H-switches. A plurality of H-switches are toggled in a composite coordinated but irregular timing pattern under control of logic means to yield a plurality of chopped sinusoid switched output waveforms each of a given frequency phase shifted from one another.

Abstract: An AC frequency conversion technique is disclosed using an H-switch toggled at irregular times to yield a chopped sinusoid output waveform of a given fundamental frequency. The irregular switching pattern is a departure from the classical cycloconverter frequency conversion approach. The H-switch is connected between a pair of power lines L1 and L1 and alternately switched between one and another ON state at any point in the AC cycle to yield any up-converted or down-converted output frequency of the chopped sinusoid output waveform. The output waveform has a positive half cycle during which the H-switch is in one ON state when L1 is positive with respect to L2 and is in the other ON state when L2 is positive with respect to L1. The output waveform has a negative half cycle during which the H-switch is in the one ON state when L1 is negative with respect to L2 and is in the other ON state when L2 is negative with respect to L1.

Abstract: A simple rectified AC frequency conversion technique is provided by chopping positively and negatively rectified AC signals by alternatively switching therebetween to yield a switched output waveform of given frequency without capacitive filtering to DC. The direct AC switching provides an irregular chopped sinusoid output waveform.

Abstract: A frequency conversion system, including a time shared frequency converter and a time shared band limited amplification system, whereby a plurality of information bearing signals are commonly obtained, determined, filtered and amplified over a single path. The process admits signals whose carriers are separated by frequency or phase, and whose amplitudes are different.Synchronous and asynchronous receivers which ordinarily require dual mixers, filters and amplifiers are simplified by this invention. Phase locked loop demodulators, including AM, DSSC and Costas loop demodulators, which ordinarily require a pair of phase detectors, filters and amplifiers to generate the in-phase and quadrature-phase channels are simplified by this invention. The use of a common path for the in-phase and quadrature-phase channels also permits the close matching of gain and frequency response in each channel.
