Thermostat with means for disabling pid control
Douglas D. Bird,Daniel T. Uhrich +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller and a means for disabling the PID controller for selected periods is described, which can be triggered by the occurrence of one or more of many preselected events.
Patent
Pilot flame powered burner controller with remote control operation
TL;DR: In this paper, a gas fireplace insert has a main burner, a standing pilot burner, and a burner control unit, including a switch controlling power to the fuel valve and a RF receiver.
Patent
Fluid free interface for a fluidic analyzer
TL;DR: Instrument-cartridge interfaces for fluidic analyzers that have an instrument and a removable cartridge have been discussed in this article, where techniques for detecting the flow rate and position of fluid in a flow channel are presented.
Patent
Method and apparatus for safety switch
Brent Chian,Douglas D. Bird +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a safety switch device coupled with, and between, a thermally activated voltage source and a primary switch is described, and a voltage generation circuit is coupled with the safety switch control circuit.
Patent
Low voltage DC-DC converter
TL;DR: A direct current to direct current voltage converter (DC-DC converter) as mentioned in this paper comprises a transformer coupled with a voltage source and a self-starting oscillator that includes a secondary winding of the transformer, a capacitor, and a first switch coupled to conduct current from the DC source via a primary winding.
