Tsunehiro Ohno 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: 9287783
    Abstract: A PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit improves the power factor of rectified power. Upon receiving output of the PFC circuit, a first DC-DC converter generates a voltage to be supplied to a load. Upon receiving output of the PFC circuit, a second DC-DC converter and a third DC-DC converter generate a control voltage. The second DC-DC converter and the third DC-DC converter are cascade-connected. An input terminal of the third DC-DC converter is connected to both an output terminal of the second DC-DC converter and an output terminal of the first DC-DC converter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7236381
    Abstract: There is disclosed a current balancing circuit for use in a switching power supply unit that operates in parallel with one or more other switching power supply units with current balancing terminals connected to each other. The current balancing circuit comprises a first resistor that receives a detection signal of the output current input via a diode and outputs an output current detection voltage; a second resistor connected between the current balancing terminal and a connection point between the first resistor and the diode; an operational amplifier that outputs a signal corresponding to the different between the output current detection voltages; and a switching circuit.

  • Patent number: 6778417
    Abstract: This electric-power supplying device comprises switching elements, rectifying elements, and a control circuit. The switching elements are switched according to a switching pulse so as to perform a rectification. The rectifying elements are connected in parallel with the switching elements so as to perform a rectification. The control circuit alters the switching pulse gradually upon switching between the rectification performed by the switching elements and the rectification performed by the rectifying elements.
