Patents by Inventor Joseph Charles Paulakonis

Joseph Charles Paulakonis 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: 9106103
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system includes first and second busses, a first switching circuit configured to selectively couple an AC source to the first and second busses and a second switching circuit configured to selectively couple the first and second busses to a load. The system also includes a storage capacitor and a third switching circuit configured to couple the storage capacitor between the first and second busses. The system further includes a control circuit configured to control the first, second and third switching circuits to generate an AC voltage at the load.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2015
    Assignee: Eaton Corporation

  • Patent number: 7508094
    Abstract: A power supply system includes an AC input configured to be coupled to an AC source, an AC output configured to be coupled to a load, a UPS having an input coupled to the AC input and an output coupled to the AC output and a bypass circuit coupled between the AC input and the AC output and configured to open and close a bypass path therebetween. The system further includes a controller configured to control the UPS and the bypass circuit such that the UPS operates as an online UPS for a first input voltage magnitude condition at the AC input and as a standby UPS for a second input voltage magnitude condition at the AC input. A multi-mode converter may be coupled to a DC link of the UPS and configured to be selectively coupled to a battery and the AC input to respectively support battery conversion and current control at the AC input in respective first and second modes of operation of the UPS.
