  • Patent number: 7763990
    Abstract: A hybrid green uninterruptible power system including an input port, a boost module, a secondary battery, a bi-directional converter module, and an inverter module is provided. The boost module converts an AC utility power into a high voltage DC power. The bi-directional converter module includes a multi-winding transformer for either converting the high-voltage DC power into a low-voltage DC power for charging the secondary battery, or for releasing and boosting the power stored in the secondary battery. The multi-winding transformer further induces an additional DC power when converting the power. Whereby, the hybrid green uninterruptible power system is able to generate the additional DC power all the time and optimizes its energy converting efficiency between the secondary battery and an external device consuming DC power.

    Abstract: A wireless-controlled power-saving apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus particularly includes a power-saving control strip and a wireless power-detection controller. The power-saving control strip has a master socket and at least one slave socket to be controlled. The strip further includes a receptacle for containing the wireless power-detection controller. More, the wireless power-detection controller connects to an external host for detecting the performance thereof. When the external host boots up, the wireless power-detection controller controls the slave socket to be powered. Or otherwise, when the external host shuts down, the wireless power-detection controller controls the slave socket to be disconnected. Thus the invention achieves the sockets mounted on the power-saving control strip to function a wireless master-slave-correlation operation.
