| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6940267 | Error correction by selective modulation The accuracy of certain sensors is greatly improved by improving their signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the presence of an interfering noise. Sensors were discovered which have a SNR which substantially changes when an operating parameter is selectively modulated to d... | 09/06/2005 |
| 6330171 | LC filtering with prebiased inductor for a chopping circuit The invention relates to a control circuit, in particular for a load in an automotive vehicle, comprising a chopping circuit, at least one LC filter (F1) means (20) opposing the saturation of the inductor, (L1) of this LC circuit, wherein these latter mea... | 12/11/2001 |
| 5390064 | Current limiters in power utility applications A current limiting method and apparatus for preventing fault overload in a utility power transmission system employs a high power, superconducting coil based pulse transformer for saturating the core of the utility power transformer thereby limiting its c... | 02/14/1995 |
| 4638177 | Rotating flux transformer A rotating flux transformer which includes a magnetic core having poloidal primary and secondary windings and toroidal primary and secondary windings. Quadrature flux is produced in the magnetic core by connecting one end of the poloidal primary winding t... | 01/20/1987 |
| 4612455 | Distributed pulse forming network for magnetic modulator A pulse forming network with distributed inductance and capacitance is diosed for use in a magnetic modulator. The magnetic modulator has a magnetic core with a primary winding and a secondary winding around it. The pulse forming network includes an inne... | 09/16/1986 |
| 4513364 | Thermally controllable variable frequency inverter A self-oscillating inverter circuit wherein the inversion frequency can be controlled by way of providing a controllable flow of electrical power to a resistor heating means that is thermally coupled to a saturable magnetic ferrite transformer used in the... | 04/23/1985 |
| 4506131 | Multiple zone induction coil power control apparatus and method A plurality of zones of an induction heating coil are individually controlled by varying the current through one or more zones of the coil to obtain a desired temperature profile in a workpiece. The current flow through a zone of the coil is determined by... | 03/19/1985 |
| 4189672 | Variable transformer method and apparatus for preventing short-circuit current flow In a variable transformer, two high-conductivity brushes are mounted in a carriage and adapted for longitudinally traversing the transformer winding to contact exposed segments of the winding. By relatively elevating and exposing the odd and even turns al... | 02/19/1980 |
| 4024520 | Electrical latching circuit This invention relates to an electrical latching circuit, relatively impervious to noise pulses, for being used with a power source for supplying current through a circuit line to an electrical load and auxiliary circuits coupled thereto. The latching cir... | 05/17/1977 |
| 4017702 | Microwave oven including apparatus for varying power level Apparatus for varying microwave power level is included in a microwave oven. The microwave oven includes a magnetron for producing microwaves used for heating and a half-wave voltage doubler for supplying half-wave pulsating DC voltage to the magnetron. I... | 04/12/1977 |
