[tiefbassuebertr]

First happy new year to all, best health and success by your sonic transmission results

I have just discovered the follow Sanyo patent by accident while searching to informations about SANYO audio power BjTs

Patent US20090315618

A new approach from SANYO for a current mirror topology.
New or old stuff - that is the question

[wahab]

as anything even existent is patented, perhaps stinius could patent
the discussion about it in diy audio..he seems the first..

Current Mirror

[Nelson Pass]

Is it just me, or is the novelty based on the use of a Mosfet
instead of the usual bipolar?

If so, I need to rush out my tube version before someone
else gets to it.

Thanks for saving the JFET version for me !!!!

[Zen Mod]

then Jabukovaca version is mine !!!

just imagine that sound ........ bases of CM fed with finest apple brandy

I think i will patent the current-mirror version using copper-cables/copper-paths on a printed circuitboard, in the connection between the active devices.
Prior art doesnt seem to be any problem when applying for a patent. Why not patent the wheel when we are at it. Think of all royalies from the car-industry!!!!

Yes, he saw it first. I have overlooked this. Why? Only after opening stinius thread this is clear (please read and compare the headline's of both threads and you will understand)
