Patents by Inventor Hubert Piquet

Hubert Piquet 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: 7902783
    Abstract: A combined device for instantaneous control of power transfer between two cores of a direct current network and for powering an alternating current engine. The device includes: an assembly of two three-phase inverters, each including three switching cells connected to the engine, which engine includes three stator windings connected to the two three-phase inverters, and a module for controlling the assembly, which ensures both an adjustable direct current power transfer and enables stabilization of the direct current voltage of one of the two cores if it is not connected, and the control of the engine.

  • Patent number: 7692331
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical emergency source device fitted on an aircraft, which comprises an energy source capable of outputting the power necessary for vital electrical loads (10) to operate correctly, wherein there are two types of these loads: first loads, that absorb a constant power with time, second loads, that absorb variable power with time. Wherein this device comprises: a power source (12) sized to output the average power absorbed by all loads, a power source (15) capable of supplying power peaks absorbed by the second loads, and wherein, since the power of several loads is reversible, the power of the said device is also reversible.

  • Patent number: 7671484
    Abstract: A device for controlling power transfer between two cores of a direct current network, in which the cores, which are source-charge interconnection nodes, include protective and contact members, placed in different areas of a power distribution system in which the direct current network is installed. The device includes an electronic power converter including two switching cells mutually interconnected by an inductance, wherein each switching cell includes two switches, and a module for controlling the converter, which ensures both a controllable direct current power transfer and stabilization of the direct current voltage.

  • Patent number: 7436686
    Abstract: Voltage inverter provided with four switching cells (Q1 to Q4) to be connected to the terminals of a DC voltage source (Vdc), each comprising two semiconductor switches (I11, I12, I21, I22, I31, I32, I41, I42) installed in series, these switches having a common point (A0) to be connected to an AC current source (Mac) with three phases (p1, p2, p3) and a neutral (n), the connection being made onto one phase (p1, p2, p3) for three of the cells (Q1, Q2, Q3) and onto the neutral (n) for the fourth cell (Q4). Each cell (Q1 to Q4) cooperates with a semiconductor electrical isolating device (S1, (S2.1 and S2.2)) to be put into a turn-off state if the cell should fail, this isolating device (S1, (S2.1 and S2.2)) being arranged either on the connection to the AC current source (Mac), or on connections to the terminals of the DC voltage source (Vdc).
