2938 results about "Electronic circuit" patented technology

An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow. To be referred to as electronic, rather than electrical, generally at least one active component must be present. The combination of components and wires allows various simple and complex operations to be performed: signals can be amplified, computations can be performed, and data can be moved from one place to another.

Liquid cooled heat exchanger

A liquid cooled heat exchanger includes first and second heat exchange chambers that are in thermal communication. The first heat exchange chamber is downstream of the second heat exchanges chamber and receives heat from a heat generating device, such as an electronic circuit. Heat in the first heat exchange chamber can be transferred to the second heat exchange chamber to increase the temperature of a subcooled liquid working fluid in the second heat exchange chamber. This can render a pressure drop across the heat exchanger that is relatively insensitive to a fraction of liquid that is vaporized in the first heat exchange chamber.

Series type hybrid circuit breaker with non-resonant current zero-crossing generation

A series-type hybrid circuit breaker to provide protection against short circuit faults in DC or AC power circuits. A series-type hybrid circuit breaker (SHCB) forces a fault current into a high-frequency AC current with zero crossings and allows a mechanical circuit breaker to disconnect the faulty branch. The SHCB injects a transient counter voltage pulse via a pulse transformer into the main power loop upon detection of an overcurrent condition and forces the fault current to change its original direction and cross zero to a negative peak value. A generation power electronic circuit on the primary side of the transformer controls the discharge of a capacitor to generate the counter voltage pulse during the first phase of each switching cycle of the fault interruption process. The power electronic circuit then changes the polarity of the injected secondary voltage and forces the fault current to change direction and cross zero again.
