Filed:

Jul 15, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/195608

Inventors:

Joseph Norman Berry - Lawrenceville GA 30045

International Classification:

H03F 3217

US Classification:

330251, 330146, 330 51, 330207 A

Abstract:

A high fidelity audio amplifier is provided having a solid-state floating bridge output stage and a preceding solid-state driver stage configured to operate with negligible voltage fluctuations and minimal current fluctuations, resulting in reduced driver stage distortion, freedom from driver stage clipping, and high and linear impedance at the driver input terminals, without significant increase in circuit complexity. The voltage gain and current gain sections of the amplifier form self-contained units which may be separately housed and remotely operated to enhance utility and isolate sensitive voltage gain circuits from the radiated electrical noise and heat of the output stage.

Appl. No.:

11/039037

Inventors:

Joseph Norman Berry - Lawrenceville GA, US

International Classification:

H03F 3/00
H03F 3/217

US Classification:

330146, 330207 A, 330251

Abstract:

An audio amplifier system includes at least a pair of DC power supplies, a floating bridge current gain output section, and a differential voltage gain input section that draws operating current from the DC power supplies through floating DC current regulators. The included current regulators reject power supply noise and modulation and provide a floating current path for establishing positive and negative operating voltages for the voltage gain section. Cross-coupled interstage loading enables nearly rail-to-rail output voltage swing while providing local feedback around the output section for reduced distortion and improved output load control. The floating current regulators in the circuit exhibit enhanced performance as a result of suppressed operating voltage fluctuations.

US Classification:

336180, 336 90, 336131, 336221, 336222, 336170, 29605

Abstract:

An isolation magnetic device produced by inserting a first end of a wire through a first hole of a core, wrapping the first end of the wire around a first side of the core and inserting the first end of the wire through a second hole of the core. The second hole of the core is spaced from the first hole and has a longitudinal axis extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the first hole. The device is further produced by inserting a second end of the wire through the second hole of the core, wrapping the second end of the wire around the first side of the core and inserting the second end of the wire through the first hole of the core.

International Classification:

H01F 27/30

US Classification:

336182, 336188, 336229

Abstract:

An electrical device is produced by winding wires around a core. The device may be used as a transformer. Wires are inserted into, through and around a first hole and a first side of a core a desired number of times. Thereafter, the wires are extended along either a top or a bottom of the core and then passed through and around a second hole of the core. After the wires are wound around the second hole of the core and a second side of the core, the production of the device is complete.

Abstract:

An efficient route-defining method includes determining a route to a destination. The exemplary method also includes determining a wireless device to server connection type and assigning a tolerance in accordance with a connection type. The tolerance is usable to determine if a vehicle is off-route, and the tolerance is increased or decreased inversely corresponding to the speed of the connection type. According to the illustrative method, the assigned tolerance is used to determine points defining the route, such that the roads comprising the route are within a bounded area. The bounded area may be defined by the tolerance in conjunction with a plurality of lines connecting successive points along the route. Finally, the method includes delivering the determined points to a vehicle computing system in communication with the server.
