  • Power controller having adaptive control of a switching circuit
    Patent number: 9916940
    Abstract: Power controller includes a switching circuit that is configured to provide electrical power to a load. The switching circuit includes a first path having a first switch and a second path that is in parallel with the first path prior to the load. The second path includes a second switch. The switching circuit is in a soft-switching state when the second path is activated and the first path is deactivated. The switching circuit is in an operational state when the second path is deactivated and the first path is activated. The power controller includes a processing unit that is configured to open or close the first and second switches to change the switching circuit between the soft-switching state and the operational state.

  • Circuit Board Assembly
    Publication number: 20140211421
    Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes first and second circuit boards that each have a substrate and a conductive circuit layer positioned on the substrate. The first and second circuit boards are arranged such that the conductive circuit layers face each other across a gap. Thermal conductor pillars extend lengths across the gap between the conductive circuit layers of the first and second circuit boards. The thermal conductor pillars include opposite first and second ends that are engaged in thermal contact with the conductive circuit layers of the first and second circuit boards, respectively. The thermal conductor pillars provide thermal pathways for heat to travel between the first and second circuit boards.
