  • Patent number: 10165666
    Abstract: An array of non-thermal plasma emitters is controlled to emit plasma based on application of an electric current at desired frequencies and a controlled power level. A power supply for an array controller includes a transformer that operates at the resonant frequency of the combined capacitance of the array and the cable connecting the array to the power supply. The power into the array is monitored by the controller and can be adjusted by the user. The controller monitors the phase relationship between the transformer primary winding voltage and the gate drive voltage, and adjusts the drive frequency to resonance. Alternatively the balanced driver is configured as an oscillator which drives the transformer at resonance by default. A signal from the transformer driver generates an interrupt to the controller for synchronizing current and voltage measurements for power control.

    Abstract: Supercapacitor structures are provided which include, for example: one or more layers of supercapacitors; and one or more contact tabs. The one or more contact tabs electrically contact and extend outward from the supercapacitor structure to facilitate electrical connection to the supercapacitor structure, and the one or more contact tabs include a multi-contact tab. The multi-contact tab is configured and sized with multiple contact locations which are disposed external to the supercapacitor structure. Various supercapacitor structures are provided, including one supercapacitor structure with a shared C-shaped current collector, and another supercapacitor structure with stacked supercapacitors. One or more additional multi-contact tabs may also extend from the supercapacitor structure(s) and distribute the same or a different capacitor voltage than the multi-contact tab.

  • Patent number: 10147360
    Abstract: Described herein are display devices having architectures with a reduced number of external connections from the display to the external electronics, which allows for an increase in the pitch of the external connections, thereby improving reliability and flexibility, and reducing costs. The architecture of these devices is based on using multiplexers to connect external source lines to the individual display column lines. Accordingly, data signals can come into the display on a reduced number of external source lines as compared to the number of display column lines. The architecture allows for high-reliability, rugged contacts to a small-sized display by avoiding the need for high resolution interconnects.
