Patents by Inventor Marius Vladan

Marius Vladan 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: 9634494
    Abstract: A power signal source may provide current to a transmit coil to support wireless power transmission. The power signal source may include one or more modulators in parallel that may be phase delayed by an angle with respect to one another. The phase delay angle allows for adjustment of the magnitude of the current. The current provided to the transmit coil may be independent of the load of the transmit coil.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8872579
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for power control. In some implementations, a power control system includes a first transistor having a drain coupled to a first conductor (e.g., first pair of wires of an Ethernet cable), a second transistor having a drain coupled to a second conductor (e.g., second pair of wires of the Ethernet cable), a current sensor coupled to sources of the first and second transistors, and a current management circuit. The current management circuit may detect drain voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor, and adjust gate voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor to keep the drain voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor approximately equal. The current management circuit may detect a current through the current sensor, and adjust the gate voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor to limit the detected current to a current limit.

  • Publication number: 20130044827
    Abstract: Provided is a communication protocol for communication via power line. For example, there is a power supply equipment for communication via a power line including a controller, a power line input coupled to the power line, and a current demodulator coupled to the power line input and the controller. The controller is configured to demodulate a first portion of a power signal of the power line at the power line input using the current demodulator and to receive a first bitstream over the power line. A second bitstream may be provided by the controller in order to modulate a voltage sent from the power supply equipment to a powered device via the power line. The powered device may further demodulate the modulated voltage to extract the second bitstream sent from the power supply equipment.
