  • Patent number: 9974123
    Abstract: A power supply system uses a DC-DC power converter (28) for supplying an output load. A compensation circuit (40) is connected between the input to the DC-DC converter and the output of the DC-DC converter and it provides a compensating path in response to a voltage drop at the output of the DC-DC converter caused by a surge in the output load. The power supply system further comprises a low drop out regulator (30) as the output load, which low drop out regulator (30) having an input connected to the DC-DC power converter and the compensation circuit, and an output connected to an output terminal (C) for connection to a further output load. This enables the DC-DC power converter to have a low current capability, because a large current demand can be met by the DC supply to the DC-DC converter.

  • Patent number: 9710023
    Abstract: Perforated structures and methods for forming perforated structures are disclosed. The perforated structures include partial holes or blind-holes that pass partially through the substrate. The partial holes can be positioned proximate to through-holes that pass entirely through the substrate. The partial holes add mechanical strength to the perforated substrate. Described are methods for modifying the optical appearance of the partial holes such that the partial holes appear indistinguishable from the through-holes, which allows for flexibility in designing cosmetically appealing patterns within the perforated structures.
