Patents by Inventor Timothy Brooklyn STROUSE

Timothy Brooklyn STROUSE has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11095117
    Abstract: Example DC-DC power distribution systems include electronic communication device(s), a circuit breaker DIN rail adapted to receive a circuit breaker for providing electrical protection to the one or more electronic communication devices, and a DC-DC converter including a housing having a DIN rail mount, a voltage input and a voltage output. The DC-DC converter includes a DC-DC voltage converter circuit coupled between the voltage input and the voltage output, and a controller electrically coupled with the DC-DC voltage converter circuit. The DC-DC converter is mounted on the circuit breaker DIN rail via the DIN rail mount of the DC-DC converter housing, and the controller is configured to control the DC-DC voltage converter circuit to convert a DC voltage at the voltage input to a different DC voltage at the voltage output to supply power to the one or more electronic communication devices.

  • Patent number: 10971921
    Abstract: Example DC-DC converters include a housing having at least two bullet terminals. The at least two bullet terminals are configured to mate with corresponding terminals in a DC bullet breaker panel. The converter also includes a DC-DC voltage converter circuit coupled between the at least two bullet terminals, and a controller coupled with the DC-DC voltage converter circuit. The controller is configured to control the DC-DC converter circuit to convert a DC input voltage at a first one of the at least two bullet terminals to a different DC output voltage at another one of the at least two bullet terminals. Methods of converting DC voltages using DC-DC converters having bullet terminals are also disclosed.
