    Abstract: A power transfer system and method are provided for transferring power from an AC supply outputting an AC voltage. The system includes a controller and a primary rectifier coupled to the controller and to the AC supply for converting the AC voltage to a DC bus voltage. An inverter is coupled with the primary rectifier and the controller for converting the DC bus voltage to a primary AC voltage. A primary coil is connected to the inverter. A secondary coil is in communication with the primary coil for producing an induced AC voltage. A secondary rectifier is connected to the secondary coil for rectifying the induced AC voltage to a secondary DC voltage. At least one sensor is connected to the secondary rectifier for outputting a signal proportional to the secondary DC voltage and the controller is configured to vary the DC bus voltage based on the signal from the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20160064949
    Abstract: A power transfer system and method are provided for transferring power from an AC supply outputting a first AC voltage. The system includes a controller and a matrix converter coupled to the AC supply for converting the first AC voltage to a second AC voltage. A primary coil is connected to the matrix converter and a secondary coil is in communication with the primary coil for producing an induced AC voltage. A secondary rectifier is connected to the secondary coil for rectifying the induced AC voltage to produce a secondary DC voltage. A sensor is coupled to the secondary rectifier and to the controller for monitoring the secondary DC voltage and outputting a proportional signal. The controller is configured to control the matrix converter producing a desired second AC voltage at a desired operating frequency and maintain a predetermined secondary DC voltage in response to the signal from the sensor.

  • Patent number: 9161358
    Abstract: A first station including a transceiver, a control module, first counters, and a generation module. The transceiver receives information from a second station. The control module generates an adjustment signal based on the information to synchronize the first station to the second station. The first counters, based on the adjustment signal, generate respective count values. The first counters comprise a first counter and second counters. The count value of the first counter is indicative of an amount of time within a first slot of a time division multiple access (TDMA) channel. Each of the count values of the second counters is based on one of the other count values of the first counters. The generation module, in response to the count values of the first counters, generates a control signal. The transceiver, based on the control signal, transmits data in a second time slot on the TDMA channel.

  • Publication number: 20150063178
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for avoiding in-device coexistence interference on a user equipment. A first wireless communication circuitry and a second wireless communication circuitry operate concurrently on the user equipment. The second wireless communication circuitry detects an operational status of the first wireless communication circuitry, and determines if the operational status is transmission or reception. In response to determining that the operational status is transmission, the second wireless communication circuitry avoids receiving data. In response to determining that the operational status is reception, the second wireless communication circuitry avoids transmitting data.

  • Patent number: 8966171
    Abstract: An access optimization method for a main memory database based on page-coloring is described. An access sequence of all data pages of a weak locality dataset is ordered by page-color, and all the data pages are grouped by page-color, and then all the data pages of the weak locality dataset are scanned in a sequence of page-color grouping. Further, a number of memory pages having the same page-color are preset as a page-color queue, in which the page-color queue serves as a memory cache before a memory page is loaded into a CPU cache; the data page of the weak locality dataset first enters the page-color queue in an asynchronous mode, and is then loaded into the CPU cache to complete data processing. Accordingly, cache conflicts between datasets with different data locality strengths can be effectively reduced.

  • Patent number: 8675541
    Abstract: A wireless device includes a base counter configured to generate counter signals synchronized with timing of a base station. A generation module is configured to generate a timing control signal in response to the counter signals. A transceiver is configured to, based on the timing control signal, (i) transmit data on a time division multiple access channel, and (ii) transmit the data in a first time slot without transmitting data in a second time slot. The first time slot is allocated by the base station for the wireless device. The second time slot is allocated by the base station for a second station. The wireless device is separate from the second station. The second time slot is subsequent to and abuts the first time slot.
