ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,771,170, issued on Oct. 20, was assigned to Florida State University Research Foundation Inc. (Tallahassee, Fla.).
"Magnetic core desaturation methods for magnetic energy harvesting" was invented by Jinyeong Moon (Tallahassee, Fla.) and Min Gao (Tallahassee, Fla.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods and systems for mid-cycle desaturation during magnetic energy harvesting (MEH) are provided. Four different mid-cycle desaturation strategies can be employed, each of which generates multiple power transfer windows within an alternating current (AC) half-cycle. All four strategies enable much higher energy extraction compared to MEH without...
