  • Patent number: 7619325
    Abstract: An ultra compact ring topology puts the output terminals of solid state switches physically at the center of a circuit with the switches surrounded by voltage busses. The switches are symmetrically arranged around the output bus, the voltage busses are filtered (decoupled) to ground using symmetrically positioned filter components, and lead lengths to and from the switches are minimized. Switch driver circuits are closely integrated with each switch and positioned as close as possible, each to its associated switch, and arranged symmetrically. Switches may be at cryogenic temperatures and busses and lead connectors may be superconductive.

  • Patent number: 5207589
    Abstract: The current conductor arrangement, more especially for illuminating systems of all types, comprises a current conductor rod whose mutually insulated metallic current conductors make up at least 50% of the cross sectional area of the current conductor rod. It is in this manner that more especially when the current conductor arrangement is used for low voltage applications it is possible to conduct high amperages. Preferably the current conductor rod is round so that the retainer clamps on it, which carry the electrical loads such as lamps, fans and the line, may be swiveled. Advantageous developments of the holders make it possible for them to be additionally swiveled so that the user is practically given a free choice as regards the arrangement and alignment of the electrical load.
