Patent number: 10559405Abstract: A transmission cable to reduce radiated electromagnetic radiation includes a first conductor with current flowing in a positive direction, a second conductor with a current flowing in a negative direction, where the negative direction is opposite the positive direction and the current in the first conductor equal to the current in the second conductor, a third conductor with current flowing in the positive direction and a fourth conductor with a current flowing in the negative direction. The current in the third conductor is equal to the current in the fourth conductor. The first conductor, the second conductor, the third conductor, and the fourth conductor are arranged in a symmetrical square pattern and the conductors are each on a corner of the square pattern. The first conductor is opposite the third conductor and adjacent to the second conductor and the fourth conductor.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Wireless Advanced Vehicle Electrification, Inc.Inventors: Patrice Lethellier, Ryan Calder, Marcellus Harper

Patent number: 10205384Abstract: A resonant AC-to-DC converter apparatus includes an inductance circuit comprising an inductor with a first and connected in series with each phase of an AC power source comprising a fundamental frequency, and a capacitance circuit that includes a capacitance for each phase. Each capacitance is connected between a second end of the inductor of a phase and a neutral connection, and the capacitance and the inductor of the connected phase form a resonant frequency. The apparatus includes a rectification circuit with an input and an output, the input connected, for each phase, in series with the second end of the inductor of the phase. The resonant frequency is related to the fundamental frequency to provide a gain at the fundamental frequency, the gain boosting a voltage of the input to the rectification circuit at the fundamental frequency above an output voltage of the AC source.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Wireless Advanced Vehicle Electrification, Inc.Inventors: Patrice Lethellier, Marcellus Harper, Ryan Calder
