  • Serial communication protocol for medical device
    Patent number: 9226766
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a circuit configured to transmit a signal as a serial protocol over a pair of electrical conductors. The serial protocol is defined as a series of pulses distributed over at least one transmission frame. At least one pulse in the transmission frame is simultaneously encoded by modulating an amplitude of the pulse to represent one of two first logic states and modulating a width of the pulse to represent one of two second logic states. An instrument and a generator also are disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Power converter with high power factor
    Patent number: 5615101
    Abstract: A buck-boost power converter for powering a load from an AC power source having a full resonant circuit for applying an alternating voltage to the load. A choke is connected to the full resonant circuit and a switching device switches the choke in quasi-resonant manner to an input power rectifier to produce high power factor power conversion.
