Publication number: 20240162818Abstract: A multi-level conversion circuit and a control method for flying capacitor voltage thereof are provided. In the multi-level conversion circuit, each flying capacitor is connected between a common connection node of the lower switches connected therewith and a common connection node of the upper switches connected therewith. When the conversion circuit works in a DCM, the control method includes steps of: (a) determining the main switch and synchronous rectification switch of the lower and upper switches; (b) acquiring an adjustment value corresponding to each flying capacitor; and (c) adjusting a duty ratio of the main switch according to the adjustment value corresponding to the flying capacitor connected therewith, wherein the adjustment trend of the duty ratio under D<(N?2)/(N?1) is opposite to that under (N?2)/(N?1)<D?1, and D is the duty ratio before the adjustment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Yichao Wang, Yuhua Hu, Kai Dong, Jinfa Zhang

Patent number: 10995194Abstract: The invention relates to elastomeric compositions containing filler particles that are predominantly two-dimensional in shape. The elastomeric compositions exhibit significantly improved thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties as compared with elastomers containing conventional fillers such as natural clay, carbon black, and carbon fiber. In addition, the elastomeric compositions of the invention exhibit improved resistance to solvent-induced swelling and to unwanted permeation of gases such as hydrogen sulfide. The invention also provides a method of forming such elastomeric compositions and methods of using such elastomeric compositions to prepare elastomeric articles with improved resistance to thermal, chemical, and mechanical stresses.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2017Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: HYDRIL USA DISTRIBUTION LLCInventors: Sitaraman Krishnan, Malavarayan Sankarasubramanian, John C.
