Title: Non-thermal plasma emitters and devices for controlling
Inventor: Bradley N Eckert
IPC: H05H1/24
Filed: 2017-04-26
Abstract: An AC power supply drives and controls an array of non-thermal plasma emitters at desired frequencies at a controlled power level. The power supply comprises a step-up transformer, a balanced driver, and a controller. The transformer operates at the resonant frequency of the combined capacitance of the array and the cable connecting the array to the power supply. The power into the array is monitored by the controller and can be adjusted by the user. The balanced driver may be driven directly by the controller. The controller monitors the phase relationship between the transformer primary winding voltage and the gate drive voltage, and adjusts the drive frequency to resonance. Alternatively the balanced driver is configured as an oscillator which drives the transformer at resonance by default. A signal from the transformer driver generates an interrupt to the controller for synchronizing current and voltage measurements for power control.

Title: Robust data storage algorithm
Inventor: ALIREZA FARROKH BAROUGHI
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2019-07-08
Abstract: A robust process for writing to a memory system 200 of a device 20 with an intermittent power supply utilises at least four reserved memory locations including a first pointer buffer 204a, a second pointer buffer 204b, a first backup buffer 206a and a second backup buffer 206b. At the end of a first write operation, an address indicating the end of the data is stored in the first pointer buffer 204a, and a backup of the end of the data is written to the first backup buffer 206a. During a second write operation, further data is written starting from the address in the first pointer buffer 204a, the end of the further data is written to the second pointer buffer 204b, and a backup of the further data is written to the second backup buffer 206b. The first buffers 204a, 206a and second buffers 204b, 206b are then overwritten m an alternating fashion in successive write operations. This process ensures that it is always possible to revert to a previous, stable state of the memory system 200 in the event of corruption occurring due to interruption of a write operation, such as due to interruption of the power supply.
