Abstract: A multiple output rectifier achieving effective supply of power to a plurality of loads. The multiple output rectifier converts an AC input signal into a first rectified output signal and a second rectified output signal, wherein the AC input signal has a fundamental period dividing into a first partial period where an AC current flows in a first direction and a second partial period where the AC current flows in a second direction being a reverse direction to the first direction. The multiple output rectifier includes a first input terminal and a second input terminal different from the first input terminal for input of the AC input signal. The multiple output rectifier further includes a common output terminal, a first output terminal, and a second output terminal. The common output terminal, the first output terminal, and the second output terminal are decoupled from each other for operation in a multiple output operative mode.

Abstract: A more efficient solution for a detection of operating conditions in an inductive power transfer system and for improved control of the inductive power transfer system. An operating condition at a secondary side of an inductive power transfer system is detected by measuring at least one electric variable at a primary side of the inductive power transfer system which is dynamically coupled to the operating condition at the secondary side of the inductive power transfer system. Then follows an analysis of the at least one electric variable over time at the primary side of the inductive power transfer system. This allows to detect a change of the operating condition at the secondary side of the inductive power transfer system. Also provided is a control method and related controller apparatus using the detection method.
