    CogniPower patent portfolio expands

    06/21/2016

    The fundamental Predictive Energy Balancing Patent has been allowed, and is
    in the process of issuing in the EU. That will bring the total number of world-
    wide issued patents for CogniPower's core control technology to seven.

    A US Patent covering enhancements of the Compound Converter has also been
    allowed. These variations on the Compound Converter theme extend applicability to
    forward converters capable of delivering hundreds of Watts, as well as to new
    controls for flyback converters for high efficiency, low cost, AC/DC conversion with
    near-ideal Power Factor Correction.

    CogniPower technology now offers a continuum of improved performance and
    efficiency for AC/DC conversion from the smallest wall adapters through the
    most capable mobile device chargers, through to power supplies for flat screens,
    set-top boxes, laptops, desktops, and network power.

    A third patent was issued June 21st. This patent covers an extremely simple,
    efficient, inductorless AC to DC technique that is suitable for low power, unisolated
    applications. Application areas for this technology focus on the Internet of Things
    (IoT).

    The CogniPower Patent Portfolio now stands at nineteen patents issued or issuing,
    with seven more patents pending.
