Dkt. No. 35-OR-918, AC TO DC POWER CONVERSION CIRCUIT WITH LOW HARMONIC DISTORTION, ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In an AC to DC power conversion circuit including a boost inductor connected in series between a full-wave rectifier and a DC load, a switch is connected to selectively shunt boost inductor current from the load. Switch conduction is controlled by a pulse width modulator generating switching pulses at a high fixed frequency. The pulse widths are automatically varied as a function of boost inductor current, load voltage, and an ideal sinusoidal waveform derived from the AC input voltage to force the boost inductor current to closely conform to the ideal sinusoidal waveform and thus …

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 19, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 19, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 19, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
