Optoelectronic memristor devices including one or more solid electrolytes with electrically controllable optical properties

Patent Defferriere, Thomas; Kalaev, Dmitri; Tuller, Harry L.; ...

An optoelectronic memristor includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a solid electrolyte in between that is in electrical communication with the first electrode and the second electrode. The solid electrolyte has an electronic conductivity of about 10⁻¹⁰ Siemens/cm to about 10⁻⁴ Siemens/cm at room temperature. The first electrode, and optionally the second electrode, can be optically transparent at a specific wavelength and/or a wavelength range. A direct current (DC) voltage source is employed to apply an electric field across the solid electrolyte, which induces a spatial redistribution of ionic defects in the solid electrolyte. In turn, this causesmore » « less

Permanent split capacitor single phase electric motor system

Patent Kirschbaum, Herbert S [Asheville, NC]

A permanent split capacitor single phase electric motor achieves balanced operation at more than one operating point by adjusting the voltage supplied to the main and auxiliary windings and adjusting the capacitance in the auxiliary winding circuit. An intermediate voltage tap on an autotransformer supplies voltage to the main winding for low speed operation while a capacitive voltage divider is used to adjust the voltage supplied to the auxiliary winding for low speed operation.

Discharging a DC bus capacitor of an electrical converter system

Patent Kajouke, Lateef A; Perisic, Milun; Ransom, Ray M

A system and method of discharging a bus capacitor of a bidirectional matrix converter of a vehicle are presented here. The method begins by electrically shorting the AC interface of the converter after an AC energy source is disconnected from the AC interface. The method continues by arranging a plurality of switching elements of a second energy conversion module into a discharge configuration to establish an electrical current path from a first terminal of an isolation module, through an inductive element, and to a second terminal of the isolation module. The method also modulates a plurality of switching elements ofmore » « less
