  • System and method for controlling air temperature in an appliance
    Publication number: 20070006601
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling air temperature in an appliance. The apparatus includes an air cooling unit disposed in an airflow path and an air heating unit disposed in the airflow path and fluidically coupled to the air cooling unit by a refrigerant. The apparatus also includes a de-heater fluidically coupled to the air cooling unit and the air heating unit by the refrigerant to controllably dissipate heat from the refrigerant.

  • Gas flow control for gas burners utilizing a micro-electro-mechanical valve
    Publication number: 20050058959
    Abstract: An electronically controlled gas burner system and method using a micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) valve. The system includes at least one gas burner and MEMS valves comprising an array of microvalves in fluid communication with the gas burner. The system also includes a microvalve controller for controlling the opening of each of the microvalves in the MEMS valve. The MEMS valve may be positioned remote from, or within, the gas burner. A method for controlling microvalves in a MEMS valve for firing a gas burner may include issuing a command for a desired gas flow and controlling an opening of at least some of the microvalves in the array to provide the desired gas flow corresponding to the command.
