Patent number: 8564984Abstract: A soft switching apparatus comprises an energy recovery channel formed by two diodes in series connection and a resonant tank formed by an inductor and a capacitor. The soft switching apparatus is coupled to the primary side of a bridge converter. An energy transfer process during L-C resonance helps to reduce the amplitude of the current flowing through the inductor in a freewheeling period. Furthermore, the soft switching apparatus can help to reduce the voltage stress across the secondary switching devices as well as the shoot-through currents flowing through the secondary switching devices, and thus enabling the reduction or elimination of dead time in a secondary synchronous rectifier control scheme.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2010Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hengchun Mao, Dianbo Fu, Zhaozheng Hou, Xujun Liu, Bing Cai

Publication number: 20120011690Abstract: A CNC system can include a cylinder adapted to rotate about, travel along, and deliver a force in an axial direction, an extension coupled to a distal end of and extending outward from the elongated component in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and a removable fixture adapted to receive the axial force and to be moved and positioned thereby along a plane (i.e., two directions) substantially perpendicular to the axial direction. The fixture has a central opening along the first direction adapted to receive the elongated component, and includes external features adapted to guide manufacturing operations for other manufacturing components. Chamfers on both the extension and removable fixture convert the downward axial force into a plurality of lateral forces that move the fixture against a receiver base. Datums located at guide holes in the fixture stop such lateral movement when the movement causes them to contact guide pins coupled to the receiver base.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2010Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Daniel Karraker, Thomas Johannessen, Xiao Bing Cai
