Assignee:

Cobasys, LLC - Orion MI

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320107, 320116, 320126, 320150

Abstract:

A rechargeable DC power supply includes a housing including an interior, an exterior, and an integral heat sink including a heat absorbing surface formed in said interior and a heat dissipating surface formed in said exterior. The rechargeable DC power supply includes a rechargeable battery having battery terminals positioned in said interior, power supply terminals positioned at said exterior of said housing, and a first printed circuit board (PCB) assembly including a bidirectional DC-DC converter module connected between said battery terminals and said power supply terminals. The first PCB assembly is in coplanar contact with said heat absorbing surface.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320107, 320116, 320126, 429161, 429163

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a modular battery system having at least one subsystem comprising a plurality of battery modules connected in series or parallel, wherein each subsystem preferably having a first endplate and a second endplate. The battery modules may be bound between the first and second endplates. A plurality of band members couple the first and second endplates to each other and bind the battery module between the endplates. Further, a data collection panel is in electrical communication with each of the battery modules and the data collection panel transmits status information of the modules to a master control module, which converts the electrical into a data transmission through a controller area network (CAN) bus. Status information may include module temperature, module pressure and module voltage, essentially any measurable parameter that may be conducted via an electrical signal. Depending on the needs of a given application, the battery modules may be connected in series or parallel.

Inventors:

Paul Gamboa - Chicago IL, US
John Kopera - Ortonville MI, US

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320138000

Abstract:

A telecommunication switching station includes telecommunication equipment, a DC power supply having an output connected to the telecommunication equipment, and a plurality of rechargeable DC power supplies connected in parallel with the output of the DC power supply. Each DC power supply includes a pair of power supply terminals, a rechargeable battery, and a bidirectional DC-DC converter module connected between the rechargeable battery and the pair of power supply terminals. The DC power supply provides power to the telecommunication equipment and recharges the plurality of rechargeable DC power supplies. The plurality of rechargeable DC power supplies serve as a back-up for the DC power supply.

Filed:

Feb 27, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/662190

Inventors:

Paul Gamboa - Chicago IL

Assignee:

Zenith Radio Corporation - Glenview IL

International Classification:

H01J 2970

US Classification:

315411

Abstract:

The television receiver horizontal deflection transformer develops retrace pulses from which the high voltage is generated. A shutdown safety circuit arrangement monitors a predetermined minimum width of retrace pulse by comparing it with the duration of a locally produced standard pulse to determine an excess high voltage condition. When such a condition occurs, voltage is applied to the horizontal driver for disabling the deflection system.
