Abstract: Resolution of a pathological condition is promoted via the application, e.g., via injection, of a potassium osmolyte such as hyperosmolar potassium gluconate, potassium aspartate, another potassium-based salt, or combinations thereof to the condition site. The application of the potassium osmolyte increases the extracellular concentration of potassium ions, reducing the membrane potential of the cells at the condition site and including immune cell quiescence. As a result, the inflammatory response in the patient to the pathological condition is reduced or eliminated. Reducing the inflammatory response is useful in treatment of myriad conditions including arthritis, auto-immune conditions, inflammatory disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, tissue breakdown, etc.

An AC bi-directional converter has six transistors in a B6 configuration to convert three-phase AC, acting as an interleaved totem-pole Power-Factor-Corrector for one-phase AC. A switch connects the DC bi-directional converter with either the AC bi-directional converter or the solar panels on the third DC port. A link capacitor has a DC link voltage that rises during battery charging. A DC bi-directional converter has a transformer, a primary bridge connected to the DC link voltage, and a secondary bridge of transistors connected to the first DC port. Auxiliary windings in the transformer drive a rectifier to the second DC port to power on-board DC devices. Solar DC charges the battery without AC conversion.
