  • Patent number: 11621633
    Abstract: Transformerless stacked active bridge (TSAB) direct current (DC)-to-DC power converters designed based on parent switched capacitor (SC) converter topologies. The TSAB DC-to-DC power converter includes the SC converter. The SC converter includes a plurality of switches and a plurality of capacitors. Each capacitor of the plurality of capacitors is electrically coupled to at least one of the plurality of switches. The plurality of capacitors includes tree capacitors, and link capacitors forming a loop with at least one of the tree capacitors. The TSAB DC-to-DC power converter includes at least one inductor electrically coupled in series to at least one of the link capacitors. The TSAB DC-to-DC power converters provide high efficiency bi-directional operation without requiring isolation transformers.

  • Patent number: 11199050
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a combined crushing super-variable-diameter drill bit for natural gas hydrate exploitation, including a joint, an outer cylinder connected to the joint by thread, a nozzle I mounted in the outer cylinder, a mechanical locking mechanism, a blade telescoping mechanism, an end cap connected to the outer cylinder by thread, a seal ring IV mounted to the end cap, and a nozzle II mounted in the end cap by threaded connection. The present invention achieves integrated operation of conventional drilling and draw-back expanding, which can effectively solve the problems that the existing hydrate drill bit cannot drill a large borehole, cannot mechanically lock an extending position of the blade to stabilize the size of the borehole, and a single crushing method is inefficient.
