Appeal No. 96-1560
Application 08/084,366
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s rejection
of claims 26-54, which constitute all the claims remaining in the application.
The disclosed invention pertains to a power conversion and distribution system that is
readily adaptable for use on a wide variety of applications including those having single
and polyphase input voltages and providing both AC and DC output voltages.
Representative claim 26 is reproduced as follows:
26. A high efficiency power conversion system comprising:
a. at least two system input terminals connected to an external alternating
current (AC) power source;
b. impedance means having input, output, and neutral terminals, said input
electrically connected to said system input terminals, said neutral electrically
connected to a ground plane;
c. alternating current to direct current conversion means having at least two
input terminals and at least two output terminals, said input terminals electrically
connected to said output terminals of said impedance means, said alternating current
to direct current conversion means converting AC power supplied by the external
alternating current power source into a DC output;
d. at least one power conversion means having at least two input terminals and
at least two output terminals, said input terminals electrically connected to
said output terminals of said alternating current to direct current converter
means, said power conversion means converting the DC output of said
alternating current to direct current conversion means to at least one
predetermined voltage, said predetermined voltage selectable as a DC voltage or
an AC voltage having a predetermined frequency, [;] and
