Appeal No. 2001-1627 Application No. 09/289,420 Page 16 of a magnetic coupling transformer MCT are interposed in series on the rectified output line between the positive terminal of a bridge rectifying circuit D1 and that of smoothing condenser Ci (col. 5, lines 29-32). Yasumura further discloses that the polarity of the drive winding NB2 is opposite to that of drive winding NB1 to produce a voltage of reverse polarity (col. 6, lines 29-31). It is further disclosed that MCT transfers the alternating voltage of the switching frequency generated by the switching output to the secondary windings Ni through the magnetic coupling. In addition, since the secondary winding Ni is interposed on the positive output line from the bridge rectifying circuit D1, the switching voltage transferred to the secondary winding is superimposed to the rectified output voltage on the rectifying path. Owing to the superimposition of the switching voltage, the high speed recovery type rectifying diode D2 interposed on the rectifying path switches on and off the rectified current at the switching frequency (col.6, line 62 through col. 7, line 6). Moreover, Yasumura discloses (col. 7, lines 57-65) The voltage V1 between the connection point of the high-speed recovery type rectifying diode D2 and secondary winding Ni and the primary ground, which is equivalent to the voltage across the secondary winding Ni of the magnetic coupling transformer MCT, takes on a waveform that the alternating voltage of the switchingPage: Previous 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
