What is the Difference between off-line and online UPS?
The offline UPS is in standby mode. The charger is maintaining the battery, but the inverter stage is not running. Power goes from input to output, bypassing the inverter. In this configuration, the charger and inverter design is less, as the charger is usually in trickle mode and the inverter does not need to run continuously. On power fail, the inverter starts up and takes the load. There is a glitch in output, a few line cycles, but most loads can handle this. The online UPS runs all the time. The charger now runs the inverter, as well as maintaining charge on the battery. The inverter supplies the load. Power goes from input to charger to inverter to output. In this configuration, the charger and inverter design is more, as they need to run continuously. On power fail, there is no glitch, because the inverter is already running and supplying the load. Usually, there is synchronization between the inverter and the line, so that failure of the inverter can initiate fall-back to the line without glitch.
How does a ups recreate an ac sine wave?
By switching circuits or transistors that turn on and off the polarity. This usually results in a square wave output. Then capacitors charge and discharge to smooth out the square wave to resemble the AC sine wave. The better or more expensive the inverter, the closer to an actual sine wave it gets.

What type of current does an uninterrupted power supply use?
Uninterrupted power supply (UPS) is a stand by battery. Charged with mains power, it is designed to give out DC current should the mains power suddenly goes off, long enough for computers to be shut down properly, so avoiding corruption of data and the computer system. I believe that in some larger commercial/military/Government organisations, an inverter DC to AC is in their larger capacity UPS systems, to continue on AC until the mains power is restored.Another AnswerA UPS is often used to supply computers, in order to protect their data in the event of a power failure. They consist, essentially, of a battery charger, a rechargeable battery, and an inverter. The main power supply maintains the charge on a battery, via a battery charger, and the battery's output is converted to an a.c. output via an inverter. Voltage values are maintained by internal transformers.
