Abstract: A wireless power transfer system is disclosed. The wireless power transfer system includes a first converting unit for converting a first DC voltage of an input power to a first AC voltage, a contactless power transfer unit for transmitting the input power having the first AC voltage, and a second converting unit for transmitting the power having a second DC voltage corresponding to the first AC voltage to an electric load. Additionally, the wireless power transfer system includes an active voltage tuning unit for controlling the second DC voltage based on a difference between the second DC voltage and a reference voltage and at least one among a difference between the resonant frequency and the constant operating frequency and a difference between a phase angle of the first AC voltage and a phase angle of an AC current.
Abstract: A circuit structure of a voltage type single-stage multi-input low-frequency link inverter with an external parallel-timesharing select switch is formed by connecting a plurality of input filters connected to ground and a common output low-frequency isolation voltage-transformation filter circuit through a multi-input single-output high-frequency inverter circuit. Each input end of the multi-input single-output high-frequency inverter circuit is connected to an output end of each of the input filters in a manner of one-to-one correspondence. An output end of the multi-output single-input high-frequency inverter circuit and the output low-frequency isolation voltage-transformation filter circuit are connected. The multi-input single-output high-frequency inverter circuit includes an external multi-path parallel-timesharing select four-quadrant power switch circuit and a bidirectional power flow single-input single-output high-frequency inverter circuit successively connected in cascade.
Abstract: A vehicle power supply device comprises a first battery connectable to a starter motor, a vehicle load, and a generator, a second battery different from the first battery in electric characteristics, a connecting switch connected between the first and second batteries, and connecting the first and second batteries in parallel in an ON state of the connecting switch, and a control circuit controlling the connecting switch. In the ON state of the connecting switch, the generator charges the first and second batteries. The control circuit controls to change to the OFF state of the connecting switch in a state of providing electric power to the starter motor, or in a state of detecting an open condition including an abnormal state of the first battery and/or the second battery, and to hold the connecting switch in the ON state in a normal state in which the open condition is not detected.
Abstract: Method, modules and a system formed by connecting the modules for controlling payloads are disclosed. An activation signal is propagated in the system from a module to the modules connected to it. Upon receiving an activation signal, the module (after a pre-set or random delay) activates a payload associated with it, and transmits the activation signal (after another pre-set or random delay) to one or more modules connected to it. The system is initiated by a master module including a user activated switch producing the activation signal. The activation signal can be propagated in the system in one direction from the master to the last module, or carried bi-directionally allowing two way propagation, using a module which revert the direction of the activation signal propagation direction. A module may be individually powered by an internal power source such as a battery, or connected to external power source such as AC power.
