    Abstract: Power systems and circuitry for generation of gradient magnetic fields in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems are discussed herein. Embodiments may include the use of multiple gradient amplifiers that share a high-frequency power distribution unit, that may perform power distribution and power supply roles. The high-frequency power distribution unit may allow the use of a single power supply to drive multiple gradient amplifiers via a shared power bus. The gradient amplifiers may make use of modern semiconductor materials that provide high-frequency, high voltage performance, and may be implemented using single semiconductor bridges.

    Abstract: A medium voltage uninterruptible power supply system is presented. The system includes a first power converter coupled between a first bus and a second bus. Furthermore, a second power converter operatively coupled to the first power converter via the first bus and the second bus, where the second power converter includes at least three legs, where the at least three legs include a plurality of switching units, and where the plurality of switching units includes at least two semiconductor switches and an energy storage device. Additionally, system includes a direct current link coupled between the first bus and the second bus.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for foreign object detection (FOD) in a wireless power transfer (WPT) system. An FOD protocol can be coordinated with different operating phases of the WPT system, such as an idle phase, a configuration phase, a connected phase, and a power transfer phase. An FOD assessment unit may perform foreign object detection assessments as part of each operating phase. The FOD protocol may include an initial idle phase foreign object detection assessment in the idle phase to handle a scenario in which a Power Receiver is placed on the Power Transmitter before the Power Transmitter has been turned on. The FOD assessment unit may adjust offset values used during each FOD assessment to improve accuracy of foreign object detection. The offset values may be adapted to accommodate movement of the Power Receiver after the initial idle phase foreign object detection assessment.
