  • Patent number: 9929667
    Abstract: Provided herein is a fusion energy extraction circuit (FEEC) device having a grid-tied bidirectional converter and a resonant converter. The resonant converter can include an inverse cyclotron converter with two or more or quadruple plates and a plurality of circuit switches. The bidirectional converter can include a three-phase grid-tied converter. The FEEC device is capable of decelerating plasma particle beams, thereby extracting the energy from the deceleration, converting the extracted energy to electric energy, and sending the electric energy to a power grid.

  • Patent number: 8358114
    Abstract: A hysteretic voltage regulator is disclosed comprising an inductor having a first end and a second end, wherein the second end is connected to an output capacitor in shunt with a load. A switch connects the first end of the inductor to a supply voltage when an output voltage across the load falls below a reference voltage, and disconnects the first end of the inductor from the supply voltage when a current flowing through the output capacitor rises above a reference current.

  • Patent number: 8351174
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for regulating an output voltage (VO) of a voltage regulator during a brown-out condition is described. The apparatus comprises the voltage regulator, a brown-out protection circuit, a switch, and a first capacitor. The voltage regulator charges the first capacitor to the regulated output voltage VO. The brown-out protection circuit is coupled to the voltage regulator and the switch. In operation, the brown-out protection circuit detects the occurrence of an undervoltage condition based on a first undervoltage detection signal received at an undervoltage detection input, the brown-out protection circuit disables the voltage regulator and closes the switch to discharge the first capacitor to below a predetermined voltage level.
