Patents by Inventor Michael John Richards

Michael John Richards 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: 11172597
    Abstract: A first supporting element, e.g. a PCB, may have opposed sides. A heat sink body is mounted on one side of the first supporting element, and having peripheral surface(s) for heat dissipating electrical device. A first circuit includes the heat dissipating electrical device(s) mounted and operates at a first voltage level. At least one circuit board assembly is mounted on the other side of the first supporting element, and extends from a first end to a second end. It has a first end connector at the first end, for connecting the first end of the circuit board assembly to the first circuit, and providing a signal interface between the first circuit operating at the first voltage level and a second circuit operating at a second voltage level different or equal to the first voltage level.

  • Patent number: 10701841
    Abstract: The invention in part, is a heat removal system or apparatus providing a method of mounting and electrically connecting heat dissipating electrical devices, preferably in a radial geometry while achieving good surface-to-surface clamping force, in liquid and or air cooled variants. A variation of the invention can provide arc safety for high power density applications. In specific embodiments, the invention also provides low inductance as a result of minimal loop area while also providing high voltage isolation between devices. The N-sided geometry and effective clamping methodology offer low mass and volume. A variation of the invention also provides a signal interface for driving power electronics devices. A unique cylindrical electrical device package with terminals can support capacitor, inductor and transformer integration in a common package. The various elements of the invention can be combined together to minimize size and weight, while addressing high voltage, noise and thermal management.
