  • Bilateral energy transfer apparatus
    Patent number: 4143282
    Abstract: Energy is transferred between first and second terminals by opening and closing a first current path between the first terminal and ground while concurrently operating a second current path in complementary fashion. The second current path connects in one embodiment between the two terminals and in another embodiment between the second terminal and ground. In both embodiments an inductor is common to the two paths and the duty cycle (time a path is closed per period) is controllable, for example, as a function of the voltage at at least one of the terminals.
