Matthew Elswick 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: 12176821
    Abstract: A device may include an rectifier with one or more transistors that accepts a three-phas7 input and generates a DC bus output, a low-pass filter to provide a filtered DC bus voltage, a driver to drive the transistors based on a modulation index, and a controller to generate the modulation index. The controller may generate a nominal modulation index, generate an adjusted modulation index based on the nominal modulation index modified by a ratio of the filtered and measured DC bus voltages, and provide the modulation index to the PWM driver, where the modulation index is the nominal modulation index when a difference voltage associated with a difference between the filtered and measured DC bus voltages is below a voltage threshold, and where the modulation index is the adjusted modulation index when the difference voltage is above the voltage threshold.
