There are regulating transformers that are put in the line of old computers,
etc. to prevent crashes.

But, this type of transformer is also used in DC power supplies. The advantage,
when using linear regulators, is the output from the rectifier will vary MUCH less
than with a standard transformer. That way, they can set it up to drop less
voltage across the regulator, saving a lot of power. This is all "the old way" of
doing things, 1960's technology.
