Patent number: 11953967Abstract: A power management subsystem included in a computer system may include a host device and a power circuit group. The power circuit group includes multiple power circuits arranged in a tree-like structure. The resources of the multiple power circuits are mapped to corresponding addresses within a common address space. The host device sends, via a first communication bus, commands to a branch power circuit of the multiple power circuits, which, in turn, relays the commands, using a second communication bus, to corresponding ones of the other power circuits based on respective power resources specified in the commands received from the host device.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Shawn Searles, Preethi Damodaran, Ofir Gilad, Michele De Fazio, Inder M. Sodhi, Enrico Zanetti, Olivier Girard, Lothar Münch, Andrea Barsanti, Andrea Lazzeri

Patent number: 11431249Abstract: A power converter circuit that includes a switch node coupled to a regulated power supply node via an inductor is configured to regulate a voltage level of a power supply node using a particular one of multiple available operating modes. In response to receiving a command to reduce the voltage level of the power supply node, the power converter circuit begins to reduce the voltage level of the power supply node, while autonomously selecting different ones of available operating modes. The power converter circuit may compare to the voltage level of the power supply node to boundary levels and select a different operating mode when the voltage level of the power supply node exceeds one of the boundaries. By switching operating modes during the negative slew of the voltage level of the power supply node, the power converter may maintain a target efficiency during the reduction in voltage.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alberto Alessandro Angelo Puggelli, Ofir Gilad, Floyd L. Dankert, Hubert Attah, Sanjay Pant, Shawn Searles, Georg Diebel

Patent number: 8886026Abstract: Electrical mats for generating heat, light or IR radiation which may be cut, drilled or trimmed and maintain their function. The mat is made of at least two sets of non-parallel electrodes of different polarities wherein electrodes of same polarities are connected to each other, but isolated from electrodes of different polarities; and a plurality of electrical elements connected to the electrode of different polarity and generating heat, radiation or light. The mats may be in the form of tiles, strips or tubes and may be used to tile 2D or 3D structures. The mats may also include cover layer or thermal isolation. Mats may be formed by deposition on a substrate or woven as fabric.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2011Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Inventor: Ofir Gilad
