20130020867 | SELF SYNCHRONIZING POWER CONVERTER APPARATUS AND METHOD SUITABLE FOR AUXILIARY BIAS FOR DYNAMIC LOAD APPLICATIONS - An auxiliary power supply or bias voltage supply employs a step up switch mode DC/DC power converter topology to supply regulated bias supply voltages, from very low input voltages (e.g., less than 2V). The supply will synchronize to dynamic loads making it particularly useful in circuits with periodic high peak current power demands, for example, gate drive circuits employed in regulated switched mode power converters. When unladed, the supply will efficiently adjust its cycle period to the minimum required to maintain the desired boosted output voltage. Additional transformer windings or a charge pump may be used to generate additional vias voltage sources. | 01-24-2013 |
20130021009 | POWER CONVERTER APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH COMPENSATION FOR CURRENT LIMIT/CURRENT SHARE OPERATION - A power converter provides current limit/current share functionality, allowing use in a point-of-load architecture and/or in parallel with one or more other power converters. An inner current control loop may sense output current over only a portion of a duty cycle, for example at a low side active switch. The resulting signal is compensated, and may be level shifted, for example via a resistor divider network, and supplied to a current control amplifier. An outer voltage control loop may sense output voltage, and provide a voltage error signal from a voltage error amplifier to the resistor divider network. Power converters are operable as masters or slaves, and include sense input and trim input terminals. | 01-24-2013 |
20130021702 | INPUT CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH INRUSH CURRENT, UNDER AND OVER VOLTAGE HANDLING - Control circuitry handles inrush current, and may provide under voltage and/or over voltage monitoring and handling, as well as remote enable handling. The circuitry may advantageously employ a sense capacitor in parallel with an input capacitor (e.g., bulk input filter capacitor), and a current mirror to produce a signal proportional to input current. A clamp circuit may control a series pass device to regulate current in response to the proportional signal, or to interrupt current flow in response to an under voltage or over voltage condition or receipt of a signal indicative of a disable state. An enable signal may be summed into a comparator that handles under voltage condition determination. | 01-24-2013 |

20140062173 | WHEEL HUB NUT RETAINER PLATE - A retainer plate for preventing or at least mitigating loosening of an axle nut of a vehicle. The retainer plate comprises a generally flat section of rigid material that couples to an axle nut in a non-rotatable fashion and to a portion of the wheel to maintain the axle nut in tight threaded engagement with the axle. The retainer plate can have a central bore that non-rotatably engages the axle nut and a radially outward feature that engages the wheel to prevent the axle nut from loosening. | 03-06-2014 |

20090097490 | COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK WITH CONVERGED SERVICES - A communications network provides one or more shared services, such as voice or video, to customers over a respective virtual private network (VPN). At the same time, each customer may have its own private data VPN for handling private company data. The shared service VPN permits users from different customers to communicate directly over the shared service VPN. Trust and security are established at the edge of the network, as the information enters from the customer's site. As a result, no additional security measures are required within the shared service VPN for the communications between users. This architecture results in a fast, high quality, shared service. | 04-16-2009 |
