20090006253System and method for data comparison and reconciliation by a business customer using an electronic bill presentment system - A method for flexible automated comparison of a biller's data with the business customer's data via the EBPP system that is in place between the two. The biller stores a first set of customer billing data in its EBPP database. The customer stores a second set of customer billing data reflecting its most current information. The biller presents an electronic statement to the customer based on the first set of customer billing data. The customer selects one or more of the invoices for comparison and billing data fields to perform comparison on. The customer transmits an input file to the biller reflecting local data. The biller EBPP system then compares the customer's local billing data with the EBPP data. The step of comparing further includes selecting a comparison set of data from the EBPP data based on the one or more invoices selected by the customer. The comparison is performed on the fields indicated for comparison by the customer. The type of comparison to be done may also be indicated in the input file. The EBPP system of the biller then provides a comparison report to the customer showing instances where the comparison set and the second set of data are different.01-01-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120112723Loosely Regulated Feedback Control for High Efficiency Isolated DC-DC Converters - The improved DC-DC converter apparatus includes a primary side circuit and a secondary side circuit that is galvanically isolated from the primary. The primary side induces a voltage in the secondary side that provides an output voltage for driving POLs. A controller in the primary senses a reflected output voltage signal that is coupled from the secondary and is proportional to the secondary output voltage with respect to a voltage regulation point determined by either a voltage divider circuit or the zener voltage in the secondary. The voltage regulation point is established by wide-tolerance electrical components, such as a zener diode, a resistor, or a combination, connected in the coupling device circuit.05-10-2012

20120086270Configurable Distributed Power Module - The present invention provides a configurable dc-dc power converter module and method of manufacture for such module. The power converter module comprises an isolated subassembly with a capacitor bank, control circuits and an isolated power train that converts an input voltage to an intermediate bus voltage. The power module further comprises multiple non-isolated power trains electrically coupled to the isolated subassembly that are powered by the intermediate bus voltage to produce output voltages. The number of output voltages is determined by the number of populated non-isolated power trains, which may include all of the non-isolated power trains in the power module or a subset thereof. In one embodiment of the invention the non-isolated power trains are located on a carrier PWB that is electrically coupled to the bus PWB.04-12-2012
