We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Active Power Factor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release New location for brushless motor developer from
Aveox, which we summarised at the time by saying "US-based brushless motor developer Aveox has moved to a new location in the Simi Valley, Los Angeles".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Rail-mounted supplies provide more power density from
Rockwell Automation: "A new DIN-rail-mounting power supply packs improved performance and efficiency into a module that is 50% smaller than the standard version".
In June 2005, we covered the news from OEM Automatic
concerning its Puls Dimension range
- take a look at New dimension in power supply efficiency
which says: "A new generation of switched mode power supplies boasts extremely high efficiency and incredibly small sizes".
Take a look also at the news release from XP Power, Compact power supply is cooled by conduction,
as well as Rail-mounted supplies have power factor correction from HiTek Power,
and Supply drives into electromechanical switching from Powerline.
