Publication number: 20230104618Abstract: A hair iron includes two longitudinally extending arms each having a ceramic heater. Users place hair between the heaters during use. A controller coordinates heating conditions of the heaters. If a line voltage supplied to the hair iron is a high voltage, the controller is configured to alternate heating between the heaters whereby only heating of one heater occurs at one time. To reduce flicker and harmonics, the controller supplies heating current so that one heater remains off for consecutive half-cycles of alternating current while the other heater is powered on variously. The controller then switches the heating. The hair iron further includes a line voltage detector to detect whether a line voltage supplied through a cord to the hair iron is either low voltage or high voltage. During such time, the controller limits heating power to the two heaters.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: JICHANG CAO, MICHAEL CHARLES DAY, WILLIAM ALAN MENK

Patent number: 8213822Abstract: A system for delivering desired magnitudes of AC power to a load. A three-cycle power mode includes a 1st and 3rd cycle in which either no AC power, or full power, is delivered to the load, and a 2nd cycle in which an AC switch is triggered at a desired phase angle to deliver the desired increments of AC power during the 2nd cycle. AC power is delivered in each cycle in a manner to provide a net zero DC offset in the AC current delivered to the load. A two-cycle mode can be achieved by using the 1st and 2nd cycle, or by using the 2nd and 3rd cycles to optimize power delivery performance. A multi-cycle power delivery system can employ both the three-cycle and the two-cycle modes together to minimize the harmonic content during delivery of various power levels.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: William Paul Cook, Michael Charles Day, Wesley David McIntire

Patent number: 7900254Abstract: A technique for identifying reply mailer computer program viruses detects whether a reply message is generated in less than a threshold reply time and whether or not the reply message includes an attachment. The generation of a reply message in less than a threshold reply time and including an attachment is deemed indicative of an infected reply message and accordingly that message will be quarantined, deleted, disinfected or the like. The mail server using the present technique maintains a temporary log of email messages sent indicating the sender, the recipient, and the time of sending. This log is used to identify replies and determine whether or not those replies have been received in less than the reply threshold time.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2003Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: McAfee, Inc.Inventors: Lee Adam Fisher, Gregory Charles Day, Jason Brown
