  • Publication number: 20150104642
    Abstract: A graphene composite fiber includes graphene sheets and a polymer for aggregating the graphene sheets together. The polymer includes either or both of a hyperbranched polymer and polyvinyl alcohol. The graphene sheets and the polymer are stacked on each other to form a layered structure, and the graphene sheets are regularly arranged along an axial direction of the graphene composite fiber. In a production method of the graphene composite fiber, a graphene oxide is used as a raw material, which significantly improves tensile strength of the graphene composite fiber. Addition of the polymer provides good tenacity for the composite fiber. In a spinning process, rotated coagulant is used to increase a tensile force of a gelatinous fiber, so that the gelatinous fiber has high orientation and tacticity, thereby significantly improving strength of an obtained solid fiber. The final reduction process restores electrical conductivity of a graphene fairly well.

  • Patent number: 8891259
    Abstract: A control circuit is configured for controlling a power switch to regulate an output of a power converter. The control circuit is configured to increase a switching frequency of the power switch when a first signal representing a magnitude of the power converter is below a first output level. In some embodiment, the first output level is selected such that when the first signal is below the first output level, the power converter may generate audible noise. In an embodiment, when the first signal is above the first output level, the control circuit is configured to turn off the power switch when a second signal representing a current in the power switch is above a first reference level. On the other hand, when the first signal is below the first output level, the control circuit is configured to turn off the power switch if the second signal reaches a lower reference level.
