Patents by Inventor Frank van Horck

Frank van Horck has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11831234
    Abstract: Disclosed is a power supply. In an example, the power supply comprises a switched mode power converter. The switched mode power converter comprises an input terminal for receiving an input voltage, and an output terminal for supplying a power to a load. A control unit of the power supply controls a switch of the switched mode power converter. A current-limited power supply powers the control unit, and is connected to the input voltage, whereby the control unit is configured to control an input current to the switched mode power converter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11469660
    Abstract: A system for providing power from an AC power supply to an external load. The system includes a current limiter circuit, connected to an input of a switched-mode power supply. The system includes the switched-mode power supply that provides a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal. The system includes a supervisor circuit that is connected to the first output of the switched-mode power supply and coupled to a relay control circuit. The supervisor circuit monitors the first voltage signal and enables the relay control circuit. The relay control circuit provides a first voltage corresponding to the first voltage signal to a first voltage rail and provides a second voltage corresponding to the second voltage signal to a second voltage rail. A relay powered by a connection to the first voltage rail or the second voltage rail connects the AC power supply to an external load.
