Publication number: 20190364499Abstract: Power management for remote units in a wireless distribution system. Power can be managed for a remote unit configured to power modules and devices that may require more power to operate than power available to the remote unit. For example, the remote unit may be configured to include power-consuming remote unit modules to provide communication services. As another example, the remote unit may be configured to provide power through powered ports in the remote unit to power-consuming devices. Depending on the configuration of the remote unit, the power-consuming remote unit modules and/or power-consuming devices may demand more power than is available at the remote unit. In this instance, the power available at the remote unit can be distributed to the power-consuming modules and devices based on the priority of services desired to be provided by the remote unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventors: Christian Heidler, Jonathan Richard Hull, Jessica Joy Kedziora, Michael Sauer, Wolfgang Gottfried Tobias Schweiker

Publication number: 20160285314Abstract: An electrical source excites a conductive object. A receiver is electrically connected to the object to receive energy from the object, and can power a device. The object can be non-resonant under excitation by the source, and the receiver is excited into resonance by electrical contact with the object. The object can also be resonant under the excitation by the source, and the receiver receives energy from the resonance of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2014Publication date: September 29, 2016Applicant: THE GOVERNORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTAInventors: Charles William VAN NESTE, Thomas George THUNDAT, John Errington HAWK, Richard HULL, Jonathan BACKS, Nurichi GUSEYNOV, Arindam PHANI

Patent number: 9404948Abstract: A mains voltage zero-crossing detector has a constant voltage forced on an external node by driving transistor devices with appropriate control signals provided by a feedback loop around a highly power efficient class B configuration comprising an operational amplifier having single ended dual outputs and a class B control circuit. Mains power zero crossings may then be detected by monitoring the drive current of devices driven by this amplifier. Wherein Class B control and current mode detection provide accurate detection of the driven signal without depending on any voltage threshold that may depend on temperature, process fabrication and/or supply voltage.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATEDInventors: Richard Hull, John Charais, Gabriel Rosca
