  • Publication number: 20240356338
    Abstract: A method of regulating frequency of plurality of uninterruptible power supply units and corresponding uninterruptible power supply (UPS) unit. The method includes broadcasting, to a controller of a UPS unit, an expected synchronization direction to other UPS units via a communication link, the expected synchronization direction being determined based on a frequency of the corresponding UPS units and a frequency of a grid. The method includes obtaining the expected synchronization directions of other UPS units via the communication link; determining a major synchronization direction based on the expected synchronization direction of each UPS unit; and regulating a frequency of each UPS unit based on the major synchronization direction.

  • Patent number: 11228209
    Abstract: A wireless power transfer system comprising a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter arranged to generate a varying electric field, and the receiver located in the varying electric field. The receiver comprising a first element and a second element. The first element and the second element having different geometries so different charge densities are induced on the first element and the second element by the varying electric field such that, in use, a current flows between the first element and second element, through a load connected between the first element and second element.

  • Patent number: 10706218
    Abstract: Much valuable information in documents is presented within tables. However, the information within tables is hard to extract automatically with high accuracy due to the wide variety and low quality of typical tables found in electronic documents. Information extraction technology can provide a method of extracting information from heterogeneous tables by recognizing tables, the header cells, and cells that are merged or should be merged, creating a richer representation of table structure and providing a convenient way of linking cells to their row and column headers. Use of this richer representation allows a few extraction patterns to successfully pull out information from a wide variety of differently formatted tables.

  • Patent number: 9646763
    Abstract: A contactless inductively coupled power transfer system is provided including multiple pairs of power transmitter and power receiver coils and a power management module for controlling the supply of power to transmitter coils or the power supplied by the power receiver module to loads. The design is particularly suited for use in a wind turbine to supply power to the nacelle. The transmitter coils may be driven in phase at the same frequency or at different frequencies selected to avoid interaction between transmitter coils and the power transmitter module. The transmitter and receiver coils may be arranged in a traditional slip ring type configuration with adjacent coil pairs are physically spaced apart to avoid cross coupling with adjacent transmitter and receiver coil pairs shielded from each other. The power transmitter module may employ Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS).
