Patent number: 9192271Abstract: The invention relates to a suction unit and relates to a vacuum cleaner. The suction unit comprises a drive system for driving the suction unit over a surface to be treated; a chassis supporting the drive system; a nozzle for removing particles from a surface to be treated which nozzle is configured to move with relation to the chassis in a direction away from the surface to be treated, the nozzle having an interior space defining an opening that faces the surface to be treated; and an outlet communicating with the interior space, the outlet being arranged for communication with a fan unit in operating conditions. The suction unit further comprises coupling means for coupling the nozzle to the chassis, wherein the coupling means is arranged to exert a force that is directed away from the surface to be treated when the under pressure in the interior space increases. In this manner the problem of the suction unit getting stuck on the floor can be overcome or at least be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2008Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Jeroen Dekkers, Theo Anjes Maria Ruijl, Silvester Matheus Reijnders, Jan Van Eijk, Hubert Gerard Jean Joseph Amaury Vroomen, Thomas Petrus Hendricus Warmerdam, Robertus Mathijs Gerardus Rijs

Patent number: 9188349Abstract: The air-conditioning system comprises a dryer (10) comprising a membrane contactor (11) provided with a first channel (11b) for air flow and a second channel (11a) for desiccant flow, which channels are separated through a membrane (11c). The air conditioning system further comprises a humidifier (20) comprising a membrane contactor. The air flow passes in operation the dryer (10) and the humidifier (30) between an inlet (121) and an outlet (122). The dryer (10) comprises a series connection of a heat exchanger (12) and the membrane contactor (11), which heat exchanger couples air flow from the inlet (121) with desiccant flow from a regenerator (40) and in which membrane contactor (11) the thus heat-exchanged air flow and the heat-exchanged desiccant flow are coupled for drying of the airflow.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: 2ndAir B.V.Inventors: Thomas Petrus Hendricus Warmerdam, Sergio Hernandez-Marin, Robertus Wilhelmus Jacobus Hollering

Patent number: 7571793Abstract: System for and method of active vibration isolation to isolate a payload (57) from earth movements. The system has a body (16; 51), a mass (41) supported by the body (51) by means of at least one spring (45), a further mass (39) supported by the mass (41) by means of at least one further spring (43). A sensor senses a distance between the mass (41) and the further mass (39) and generates a distance signal. A controller (49) receives the distance signal and generates a control signal based on the distance signal. An actuator (47) actuates a position of said mass (41) based on the control signal, whereas the further mass supports the payload to be isolated from earth (16).Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Thomas Petrus Hendricus Warmerdam, Michael Johannes Vervoordeldonk

Patent number: 7375479Abstract: A apparatus processes an object (19), such as a semi-conductor wafer at accurately controlled positions. The object (19) is supported by a working platform (12) that is moveable along a path. A suspension actuator part (14) attached to the working platform (12), contains a soft magnetic core (24) with poles facing the surface of a soft magnetic element (34) on the support structure along the path and a winding (20) for application of a current to generate a magnetic field that runs through the core (24) v the poles and returns via the soft magnetic element (34). A sensor (17) senses a measured position of the suspension actuator part (14) relative to the position reference element (16). A control circuit comprises an outer control circuit (40) and an inner control circuit (42). The outer control circuit (40) receives a sensing result and determines force set point information to regulate the measured position of the actuator part (14) to a required value.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2003Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V.Inventors: Jan Van Eijk, Arjan Franklin Bakker, Dennis Erwin Bos, Johan Cornelis Compter, Angelo Cesar Peter De Klerk, Franciscus Martinus Roes, Hubert Gerard Jean Joseph Amaury Vroomen, Thomas Petrus Hendricus Warmerdam
