A DC power converter enclosing a regulated AC power supply within the overall design topology. The power transfer function incorporates a process wherein a portion of the negative AC signal, generated across the input winding of a power transformer, is intercepted by a power switch transitional state. The volt-second product of the intercepted AC signal is reflected into the DC input line voltage as an additive element allowing a resonant inductor to absorb the sum of both components. Thus peak voltage transferred to a resonant capacitor is two times the sum of voltage absorbed by the resonant inductor as opposed to simply doubling the DC input line voltage. Voltage across the resonant capacitor remains constant for variations in DC input line voltage within the limits of the input voltage regulating band. This is due to an inverse relationship between the DC input line voltage and voltage yielded by the negative AC signal, at point of interception by the timing pulse. The two components combine in a subtractive manner to cancel out the variation in DC input line voltage and maintain a constant voltage to the input of the AC power supply loop. Input current supplied by the Input DC line also varies inversely proportional to the applied input DC voltage within the regulating band. Thus: negative resistance describing a constant-power load line is derived directly from the peak input current.

A docking station connects through a docking port and docking cable with an information handling system to support communication between the information handling system and docking station peripherals. On initial interface, one data lane of the docking port establishes a temporary management interface, such as an I2C management bus, to configure the docking station. After configuration, a docking manager, virtual wireless access point and power block cooperate to assign data lanes of the docking port and wireless communication resources to information transfer and power transfer functions based upon processing and communication tasks performed at the information handling system.

An optical IQ modulator (IQM) including two parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM1, MZM2) generates single sideband data signals. A control unit (18) generates additional optical single sideband pilot signals (PS1, PS2) positioned in a lower and a higher sideband respectively, and also further pilot signals (PS3, PS4) in both sidebands. A IQ modulator output signal (MOS) converted into electrical monitoring signals (MOS) and monitored. A control unit (18) selects control signals (CS12, CS3, CS4) and controls the IQ modulator via its bias ports (6, 7, 8) till the power transfer functions (PTF) of the Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM1, MZM2) and the phase difference (ΔΦ) between their output signals is optimized.

A process for deriving a power transfer function of a circuit. The power transfer function can be used to represent the real time power consumption of a circuit based on the status of the inputs. In one embodiment, the power transfer function is derived from frequency domain analysis of signals applied to the inputs of a circuit during tests of the circuit. In one embodiment, the inputs of the circuit are grouped in groups based on a commonality of power consumption of the signals. The inputs may be grouped by clustering squared coherencies associated with the inputs. The transfer function may be implemented in a power monitoring circuit having inputs coupled to the inputs of the circuit to provide a real time estimation of power consumption of the circuit.
