Abstract:
In various embodiments, the energy efficient power supply utilizes switching control energy from an onboard energy storage device, or from an external utilization device power, to power the switching function of the power supply to switch between a zero energy use state, and an energized state, providing standby, low-draw, measured-demand, and full-output energy; variable, as the utilization device, or devices, require. Energized switching control is achieved by completing, or providing, the control circuit when the power supply is connected to a utilization device, or devices, or when the power supply is connected to a utilization device, or devices, and a utilization device signals, or when utilization devices signal, that power is needed from the power supply. De-energized switching control is achieved by disconnecting the power supply from a utilization device, or devices, or when a utilization device signals, or when utilization devices signal, that power is no longer needed from the power supply.

Claim (Index 8):
An energy efficient power supply device and/or charger (PSD), comprising:\n a power converter/supply (PCS) for converting an AC power into a DC power; a power source mains electrical input for receiving power from a power source; a first control unit (FCU);\n a first switching portion of the FCU; \n a second switching portion of the FCU; \n an operating circuit component of the FCU, the positive power input thereof in electrical communication with the second switching portion of the FCU; and \n a second control unit (SCU);\n an operating circuit component of the SCU; and \n an energy storage device (ESD), the ESD having at least one positive connection and at least one negative connection; and a control circuit; and a power circuit; the power circuit made up of, at least, a positive circuit and of a system ground circuit of the PCS; wherein the PSD receives power via the power source mains electrical input; the positive connection of the operating circuit component of the SCU electrically connects to the positive output of the ESD via the first switching portion of the first control unit FCU; the negative side of the ESD is grounded to the system ground circuit; when the PSD is electrically connected to a utilization device UD with the control circuit and with the power circuit of the PCS, the control circuit is connected to the ground circuit of the PCS by virtue of that connection causing them to complete the electrical circuit, allowing the control circuit to provide an electrical ground to the operating circuit component ground of the SCU; wherein when the positive connection of the operating circuit component of the SCU is connected to the ESD via the first switching portion of the FCU, and when the connection to the UD with the system ground circuit is present, providing an electrical ground to the operating circuit ground of the SCU via the control circuit is made, the SCU electrically connects the power source mains electrical input with the electrical primary side of the PCS, thus causing a DC electrical voltage to be present at the electrical secondary side of the PCS; next, the said DC electrical voltage then present at the secondary side of the PCS is conducted to the second switching portion of the FCU and to the UD through the positive circuit to provide electrical power at the UD; wherein the said DC electrical voltage from the PCS is also conducted to the positive input of the operating circuit component of the FCU; wherein with the grounding portion of the operating circuit component of the FCU already connected to system ground circuit of the FCU, the FCU acts to switch and disconnect the positive electrical output from the ESD to the operating circuit component of the FCU, while connecting said DC electrical voltage from the PCS to the FCU operating circuit component, thereby supplanting the electrical power to the operating circuit component of the FCU that was once provided by the ESD, which has now become electrically disconnected from the operating circuit component of the FCU.
