Patents by Inventor Matthew Kevin Hicks

Matthew Kevin Hicks 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).

  • Transformer/rectifier arrangement
    Patent number: 7061360
    Abstract: A rectifier transformer comprises two secondary windings, preferably with a single turn on each winding. The rectifier diodes form an integral part of each of the secondary windings. Thus, a compact arrangement is realised. In a high voltage application, the rectifier diodes comprise a plurality of relatively low voltage diodes in parallel to one another. The overall capacitance of the rectifier circuit is reduced by this arrangement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 2003
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2006
    Assignee: E2V Technologies (UK) Limited
    Inventors: Robert Richardson, Stephen Mark Iskander, Matthew Kevin Hicks
