Abstract: Systems and methods for phase demodulation is described. A wireless power transmitter can include a controller, a transmission coil, and an integrated circuit connected to the controller and the transmission coil. The integrated circuit can be configured to measure a voltage of a transmission coil of a wireless power transmitter. The integrated circuit can be further configured to generate, based on the measured voltage, a pulse signal comprising a plurality of pulses. The integrated circuit can be further configured to send the pulse signal to the controller of the wireless power transmitter. The controller can be configured to perform phase demodulation using the pulse signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a step-down converter, including setting an on-state time (TON) to a default TON; switching, when an output voltage of the step-down converter falls below a reference output voltage, the step-down converter to an on-state for a duration of the TON; and switching, at the end of the TON, the step-down converter to an off-state for a minimum off-state time (TOFF).

Abstract: A method of processing an input voltage. The method includes, during a sampling phase, using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) capacitor to sample a reference voltage. The method includes, during a charge redistribution phase, using an input voltage to charge the DAC capacitor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of catalytic hydrogenation and, more particularly, to the use of specific ruthenium catalysts, or pre-catalysts, in hydrogenation processes for the reduction of ketones and/or aldehydes into the corresponding alcohol respectively. Said catalysts are ruthenium complexes comprising a tetradentate ligand (L4) coordinating the ruthenium with: —two nitrogen atoms, each in the form of a primary or secondary amine (i.e. a NH2 or NH group) or N-alkyl imine functional groups (i.e. a C?N group), and —two sulfur atoms, each in the form of thioether functional groups.
