  • Patent number: 11943858
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an induction heating apparatus and a method of controlling the same. A controller of the induction heating apparatus according to the present disclosure may set an operation mode of an inverter circuit to a half bridge mode when a required power value of a working coil is set to a value less than a reference power value such that a driving frequency of the working coil decreases while an actual power value of the working coil is kept the same as the required power value. Additionally, the controller of the induction heating apparatus may adjust a duty ratio of a switching signal input to a switching element included in the inverter circuit, thereby adjusting the actual power value of the working coil.

  • Publication number: 20160060846
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling work of an excavator. When a supply flow rate of hydraulic oil which is supplied to a working apparatus by a first pump among first and second pumps driven by the rotational force of the engine is higher than a requirement flow rate required by the working apparatus, the RPM of an engine is reduced, and hydraulic oil pumped by the first and second pumps are supplied to the working apparatus. Accordingly, an energy-saving effect such as a gas mileage of an excavator being reduced is obtained.

  • Patent number: 8365548
    Abstract: An ice making apparatus for a refrigerator, in which an ice bank stores ice and has an opening that discharges ice on its one side. An ejector opens and closes the opening and is rotatably provided at the opening to also eject ice from the ice bank. After completion of an ice discharging operation, a sensor senses a relative position of the ejector against the ice bank and the ejector is controlled to close the opening to the extent necessary.
