A phase converter that converts single phase AC electric power to balanced three phase AC power. Two input terminals are connectable to a single phase AC power source, and connect directly to two output terminals of the converter. The phase converter has a storage capacitor, three active half bridge modules connected to the storage capacitor and a controller. Two modules connect to the input terminals and charge the storage capacitor. The other module connects to a third output terminal. The controller switches the module connected to the third output terminal and one of the other modules to generate and shape a second phase and a resultant third phase.

Napue v. Illinois

Arizona v. Youngblood

Giglio v. United States

Runyon v. McCrary

Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard: Supreme Court holds that the race-based admissions programs of two colleges violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Fisher v. University of Tex. at Austin: A race-conscious university admissions program may satisfy strict scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause if it furthers the compelling interest of maintaining diversity for the educational benefit of students, and race-neutral programs would not achieve the same effect, although universities must revisit these policies periodically to ensure that they are narrowly tailored.

Schuette v. BAMN: A state does not violate the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution if it amends its own constitution through the legislative process to ensure that race is not taken into account by the admissions departments of state educational institutions.

Graham v. Florida: Sentencing a juvenile defendant who did not commit homicide to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole violates the Eighth Amendment because it is disproportionate to the crime. These juveniles should have an opportunity to show that they can mature and reform their behavior.
