The project aims to develop the next generation of consumer ac-dc power supply products (practical intellectual property (IP) and beta prototypes), to be used in virtually all electronic devices today, including desktop and portable computers, TVs, gaming systems, LED and CFL lighting and smartphones. The resulting ac-dc power supply solutions will be physically smaller, lighter and have higher power processing efficiency compared to state-of-the-art solutions. As a result, the portability of the electronic devices will be improved (crucial for notebooks, tablets and smartphones), ecological footprint of the power supply decreased and the surface temperature decreased (improved safety and portability). Increasing the power density of the conventional solutions has proven to be a challenging task due to conflicting design requirements. In addition, due to an unprecedented and asymmetrical miniaturization of the electronic devices (with respect to the power supplies) a growing need for more compact ac-dc power supplies has emerged. The need for compact power supplies has created an opportunity for new solutions to gain market share, which we wish to capitalize on with at least two times smaller and lighter ac-dc power supplies. The best-in-class products arising from the proposed project will form the backbone of future commercialization efforts, which will include start-ups and licensing agreements.

该项目旨在开发下一代消费者AC-DC电源产品（实用的知识产权（IP）和Beta原型），将在当今几乎所有电子设备中使用，包括台式机和便携式计算机，电视，游戏系统，LED和CFL照明和智能手机。与最先进的解决方案相比，所得的AC-DC电源解决方案将在物理上更小，更轻，并且具有更高的电源处理效率。结果，电子设备的可移植性将得到改善（对于笔记本电脑，平板电脑和智能手机的关键），电源的生态足迹降低，表面温度降低（提高了安全性和便携性）。 由于设计要求冲突，提高常规解决方案的功率密度已被证明是一项具有挑战性的任务。此外，由于对电子设备的前所未有且不对称的微型化（相对于电源），人们已经出现了日益紧凑的AC-DC电源的需求。对紧凑型电源的需求为新解决方案创造了一个机会，以获得市场份额，我们希望以至少两倍更轻，更轻的AC-DC电源来利用。 拟议项目产生的一流产品将构成未来商业化工作的骨干，其中包括初创企业和许可协议。
