  • Converting leakage current to DC output
    Patent number: 9564816
    Abstract: A power source capable of supplying power to operate electronics of a system is disclosed. In one example, the power source takes advantage of an electrical potential difference between primary and secondary grounds. The power source can reduce system cost and power consumption.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 9, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 7, 2017
    Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC

  • Liquid resistant A/C adaptor
    Patent number: 7679906
    Abstract: An external AC power adapter. The adapter includes a housing which, in one embodiment, defines an air inlet compartment, an air outlet compartment and a partially sealed electronics compartment containing electrical components for converting an AC input to a DC output. A blower generates an airflow within the electronics compartment for cooling the electrical components in the electronics compartment. Barriers are located in the air inlet compartment and the air outlet compartment to prevent liquid from entering the electronics compartment.
