20110117338 | OPEN PORE CERAMIC MATRIX COATED WITH METAL OR METAL ALLOYS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - Open pore foams are coated with metal or metal alloys by electrolytic or electroless plating. The characteristics of the plating bath are adjusted to decrease the surface tension such that the plate bath composition can pass into the pores of the foam, preferably at least two and most preferably more than five pores in depth from the surface of the foam matrix. This can be accomplished by adding a surfactant, solvent or other constituent to reduce the surface tension of the plate bath. In addition, heat and pressure can be used to drive in the plate bath composition into the passage ways of connected open pores in the foam matrix. The net result is to plate the inside surfaces of the pores in the foam matrix, while maintaining the passageways through the foam. Pretreatment of the pore surfaces can be used to promote adhesion of the metal. Particularly advantageous results are achieved when the foam matrix is a ceramic foam. | 05-19-2011 |

20100328974 | RESONANT CONVERTER FOR ACHIEVING LOW COMMON-MODE NOISE, ALONG WITH ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY AND METHOD EMPLOYING THE SAME - Embodiments are described for reducing common-mode current in electronic devices. In the various embodiments, a resonant converter is employed, for example in a power supply, and the resonant converter is driven by a DC input to generate an AC primary voltage on the primary windings of a power transformer. The DC input may be derived from an AC line voltage or a DC-to-DC converter. The AC primary voltage drives the primary winding of the transformer to generate an AC secondary voltage on at least one secondary winding of the transformer. The AC secondary voltage may then drive a rectifier, which in turn drives a low-pass filter to produce a DC output voltage. Phase-shift modulation is employed which, in conjunction with the resonant converter, applies a sinusoidal waveform to the primary of the transformer resulting in a reduced amount of common-mode current injected onto the secondary. | 12-30-2010 |
