Power Supply System Method Of Use
US Patent:
7394205, Jul 1, 2008
Filed:
May 20, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/134611
Inventors:
Timothy D. Logsdon - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
Continuum Electro-Optics, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H05B 37/00
US Classification:
315200A
Abstract:
A power supply system is provided that includes a power supply and at least one energy storage capacitor bank. A voltage monitor is coupled to the power supply and the energy storage capacitor bank. A feedback control is coupled to the power supply. The feedback control is configured to provide that a current applied to the energy storage capacitor bank is substantially the same as current leaking out of the power supply.
Methods And Apparatus For An Improved Amplifier For Driving A Non-Linear Load
US Patent:
2005024, Nov 10, 2005
Filed:
Feb 7, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/053194
Inventors:
Timothy Logsdon - Livermore CA, US
Richard Ha - San Jose CA, US
Richard Ha - San Jose CA, US
International Classification:
H05B037/00
US Classification:
31524100R, 315219000, 31520000A
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for an amplifier for use with a nonlinear load. In one embodiment, a method is provided for driving a flash lamp. The method comprises providing an amplifier having a resonant reset topology, coupling an output of the amplifier to the flash lamp to provide a pulsed power output to the flash lamp, and driving the amplifier with a controller to provide a pulse width modulation output to the flash lamp. The pulsed output from the amplifier has a period selected to prevent a streamer of said flash lamp from extinguishing during an active use.

Power Supply System Method Of Use
US Patent:
7436153, Oct 14, 2008
Filed:
May 20, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/134246
Inventors:
Timothy D. Logsdon - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
Continuum Electro-Optics, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320166, 320136
Abstract:
A method is provided for charging an energy storage capacitor bank of a power system. A power supply system is provided that includes a power supply and an energy storage capacitor bank. Voltage of the energy storage capacitor bank is monitored. An amount of current leaking out of the power supply is determined. Current is applied to the at least one energy storage capacitor bank in an amount that is substantially the same as current leaking out of the power supply.
