  • Modular architecture for industrial power delivery system
    Patent number: 6778921
    Abstract: An industrial power delivery system configured in a modular architecture and having a plurality of modules. The modules interconnect via digital communication links and exchange data using a digital format. The modularity of the system enables the system to be scaled to vary future content of the product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 6, 2001
    Date of Patent: August 17, 2004
    Assignee: ENI Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Anthony R. A. Keane, Aaron T. Radomski, William R. Pulhamus, Jr.
  • Pulsing intelligent RF modulation controller
    Patent number: 6700092
    Abstract: A method of controlling an output of a generator is provided. The output provides an output signal having a settling time to a load having an impedance. The settling time of the output signal is determined. The output signal is amplitude modulated with a modulation waveform. A sense signal is generated that is representative of the modulated output signal. The sense signal is sampled at a sampling time based upon the settling time of the output signal. A digital representation of the sampled sense signal is generated. The amplitude modulation of the output is controlled based upon the digital representation of the sampled sense signal.

  • Power factor corrected switching power supply
    Patent number: 5646832
    Abstract: In an AC to DC power converter (off line switcher) and a method of converting AC power to DC power in high voltage systems the flyback converter's low side semiconductor switch has a lower breakdown voltage than its high side semiconductor switch. The lower breakdown voltage is achievable by means of a shunt regulator that controls a clamp voltage across the low side switch. The efficiency of the converter's post regulator is improved by processing only a fraction of the system's total power output.
