Converter with inductance means for sweeping charge carriers from base region

Claim 1

A POWER SUPPLY COMPRISING A PAIR OF SEMI-CONDUCTORS EACH OF WHICH INCLUDES AT LEAST A BASE ELECTRODE, A SUBSTANTIALLY SQUARE HYSTERESIS LOOP CORE HAVING WINDINGS THEREON, MEANS INCLUDING SAID WINDINGS FOR CYCLICALLY BIASING A FIRST OF SAID SEMI-CONDUCTORS TO A CONDUCTING STATE AND FOR BIASING THE OTHER OF SAID SEMI-CONDUCTORS TO A NON-CONDUCTING STATE DURING FIRST HALF CYCLES WHILE CORE FLUX IS BEING DRIVEN TO SATURATION IN A FIRST MAGNETIC DIRECTION, MEANS INCLUDING SAID WINDINGS FOR CYCLICALLY BIASING SAID FIRST SEMI-CONDUCTOR TO A NON-CONDUCTING STATE AND SAID OTHER SEMI-CONDUCTOR TO A CONDUCTING STATE DURING SECOND HALF CYCLES WHILE CORE FLUX IS BEING DRIVEN TO SATURATION IN AN OPPOSITE DIRECTION, AND INDUCTANCE MEANS CONNECTED BETWEEN SAID BASE ELECTRODES TO PROVIDE LAG CURRENT EACH TIME THAT ONE OF SAID SEMI-CONDUCTORS IS CUTOFF, FOR SWEEPING CHARGE CARRIERS FROM SAID BASE REGION.
