  • Patent number: 8564976
    Abstract: A system is provided having a first LLC power converter and a second LLC power converter. The first LLC power converter comprises a first LLC voltage source. The second LLC power converter also comprises a second LLC voltage source. The first LLC power converter also comprises a first resonant inductor, a first magnetic inductor, and a first resonant capacitor coupled to the first voltage source of the first LLC power converter. The second LLC power converter comprises a second resonant inductor, a second magnetic inductor, and a second resonant capacitor coupled to the second voltage source of the second LLC power converter. The first LLC power converter and the second LLC power converter are both magnetically couplable to a common load. A resonance of the first LLC power converter substantially matches a resonance of the second LLC power converter.

  • Publication number: 20070132538
    Abstract: An apparatus for establishing at least one turn for a magnetic circuit includes: (a) at least one first magnetic element oriented substantially about an axis generally between a first axial position and a second axial position; and (b) at least one second magnetic element coupled with at least one selected first magnetic element of the at least one first magnetic element generally at the second axial position. The at least one second magnetic element establishes at least one return magnetic path from the second axial position generally toward the first axial position. The at least one return magnetic path is generally about the axis.

  • Publication number: 20070046415
    Abstract: An electromagnetic apparatus includes: (a) A magnetic material arranged in a core structure establishing a first flux path set and a second flux path set; the first flux path set includes a first middle flux path oriented about a first axis and two first side flux paths parallel with the first axis; the second flux path set includes a second middle flux path oriented about a second axis and two second side flux paths parallel with the second axis; the second axis is perpendicular with the first axis. The first and second flux path sets cooperate to establish open spaces. Each open space is bounded by portions of two flux paths from each of the first and second flux path sets. (b) A plurality of windings for conducting electrical current about the magnetic core structure. The windings are oriented around one axis on both sides of the other axis.
