| 20150138442 | POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS AND DISPLAY APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A power supply apparatus and a display apparatus are provided. The power supply apparatus including: a rectifier configured to receive alternating current (AC) power to output a rectified current; a first converter configured to perform a switching operation with respect to the rectified current to output a first output voltage; and a controller configured to control the first converter in order to perform the switching operation so that the first output voltage reaches a first target value in a first period of the input AC current, and not to perform the switching operation in a second period of the input AC power. | 05-21-2015 |
| 20150341017 | AUTOMATIC POWER SWITCHING AND POWER HARVESTING IN THIN OXIDE OPEN DRAIN TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - A power harvesting circuit includes a new transmitter topology that ensures that no junction of thin oxide transistors forming the power harvesting circuit will experience a voltage across junctions of the transistors that is more than a maximum tolerable junction voltage. A supplemental power feed circuit operates to provide a supplemental feed current to components in a transmitter circuit when power harvested from a receiver circuit is insufficient to adequately power these components of the transmitter circuit, which may occur during high frequency operation of communications channels coupling the transmitter and receiver circuits. The supplemental power feed circuit also operates to sink a shunt current when power harvested from the receiver circuit is more than is needed to power the components in the transmitter circuit. | 11-26-2015 |

| 20160050385 | System and Circuit for Television Power State Control - A system and circuit for television power state control are disclosed. In one embodiment, a power management circuit is coupled to a television and interposed between a video feed and an image display engine as well as between an audio feed and a speaker. The power management circuit selectively alternates the television between three states: powered | 02-18-2016 |
| 20160100124 | TV SYSTEM WITH WIRELESS POWER TRANSMITTER - An apparatus for transmitting wireless power is provided. The apparatus comprising a television system and a transmitter coupled to the television system. The transmitter is configured to emit a plurality of wireless power waves and define a pocket of energy thereby so that a receiver is able to interface with the pocket of energy and charge a device thereby, wherein the device is coupled to the receiver. | 04-07-2016 |
| 20160127773 | BROADCAST SIGNAL RECEIVING APPARATUS, BROADCAST SIGNAL RECEIVING SYSTEM AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed are a broadcast signal receiving apparatus, a broadcast signal receiving system and a controlling method thereof, the broadcast signal receiving apparatus comprising: a tuner configured to be tuned to a broadcast signal received from a signal source corresponding to a selected channel, and make at least a part of the received broadcast signal be looped through to an external apparatus in a normal mode; a switch configured to make the broadcast signal be looped through to the external apparatus in a standby mode of the tuner; and a controller configured to control operations of the tuner and the switch when the tuner is converted from the normal mode to the standby mode so that power can be supplied to or cut off from the tuner after a predetermined period of time. Thus, the switch is controlled independently of the mode of the broadcast signal receiving apparatus, thereby improving stability of operations and preventing a macroblock phenomenon of a broadcast signal looped through to an eternal apparatus. | 05-05-2016 |
| 20160142663 | Battery, battery charger, battery ports, battery packs for televisons - My invention transforms the traditional television into a battery operated television set, making wall mounting easier allowing the TV to be placed on any desired wall without having to worry about exposed power cords. This invention will replace, or it can be used as an alternative to the traditionally manufactured TV. | 05-19-2016 |
| 20160142664 | TELEVISION RECEIVING APPARATUS AND TELEVISION RECEIVING METHOD - A receiving apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives expected waves, and a control unit that sets the receiving unit to an operational state that has a lower electricity consumption within a range in which reception performance is allowed, depending on interference waves with respect to the expected waves that the receiving unit receives. | 05-19-2016 |
