Abstract

An interface system may be used to connect an electrical device to an electrical bus. The interface system may include a first end and a second end in electrical communication with the first end. Where the interface system is used to connect an electrical device to an electrical bus, the first end may be connected to the electrical bus and the second end may be connected to the electrical device. The interface system may also include a reverse current blocking circuit configured to block current from flowing from the second end to the first end. Additionally, the interface system may include a discharge circuit electrically connected between the first end and the second end for discharging the blocked current.

Power electronic interface circuits for batteries and ultracapacitors in electric vehicles and battery storage systems

Patent King, Robert Dean [Schenectady, NY]; DeDoncker, Rik Wivina Anna Adelson (Malvern, PA)

A method and apparatus for load leveling of a battery in an electrical power system includes a power regulator coupled to transfer power between a load and a DC link, a battery coupled to the DC link through a first DC-to-DC converter and an auxiliary passive energy storage device coupled to the DC link through a second DC-to-DC converter. The battery is coupled to the passive energy storage device through a unidirectional conducting device whereby the battery can supply power to the DC link through each of the first and second converters when battery voltage exceeds voltage on the passivemore » « less

Turbomachine with internal bearing and rotor-spline interface cooling and systems incorporating the same

Patent Fairman, Kevin D.

Aspects of the present disclosure include turbomachines designed and configured for high temperature and pressure operation and increased power level output that minimize pressure vessel design requirements, and increase dry gas seal reliability. In some examples, a first radial bearing is located in a high temperature and/or pressure region of the turbomachine between a rotor of the machine and a dry gas seal while other bearings are located outside of the high pressure region.

System and method for neural interface with modular active electronics

Patent Shah, Kedar G.; Felix, Sarah H.; Pannu, Satinderpall S.; ...

A modular, high density electrical system is disclosed which makes use of an interface component, which is well suited to being placed in contact with an anatomy of either a human or an animal, and which may be releasably coupled to an electronics module subsystem. The interface component has a plurality of electrically conductive interconnect pads that may be releasably secured by a member to a plurality of electrically conductive pads of the electronics module subsystem. The electronics module subsystem may have a substrate which supports both an electronics circuit and the interconnect pads.

System and method for interfacing large-area electronics with integrated circuit devices

Patent Verma, Naveen; Glisic, Branko; Sturm, James; ...

A system and method for interfacing large-area electronics with integrated circuit devices is provided. The system may be implemented in an electronic device including a large area electronic (LAE) device disposed on a substrate. An integrated circuit IC is disposed on the substrate. A non-contact interface is disposed on the substrate and coupled between the LAE device and the IC. The non-contact interface is configured to provide at least one of a data acquisition path or control path between the LAE device and the IC.
