  • Flexible low impedance power bus
    Patent number: 9818506
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for implementing power buses. Apparatus may include a first plurality of connectors, a second plurality of connectors, and a first plurality of conductive sheets configured to electrically couple the first plurality of connectors with the second plurality of connectors. The first plurality of conductive sheets may include a first conductive sheet and a second conductive sheet. The first conductive sheet may conduct a first current in a first direction. The second conductive sheet may provide a return path for the first current in a second direction. The apparatus may also include a second plurality of conductive sheets. The second plurality of conductive sheets may include a third conductive sheet and a fourth conductive sheet. The third conductive sheet may conduct a second current in the first direction. The fourth conductive sheet may provide a return path for the second current in the second direction.
