  • Patent number: 7609007
    Abstract: A dimmer (42) adaptable to either two (H, DH) or three (H, N, DH) active wires includes a first full-wave rectifier (D1, D2, D3, D4) across an AC power hot (H) terminal and a dimmer hot (DH) terminal and a second full-wave rectifier (D1, D4, D5, D6) across the AC power hot (H) terminal and an AC power neutral (N) terminal. The dimmer (42) operates in a two-wire configuration by drawing power through a load (13) when a control circuit (422) is not conducting or in a three-wire configuration, when the AC power neutral (N) terminal is connected, by drawing power from AC power hot (H) and AC power neutral (N) terminals.

  • Patent number: 7552914
    Abstract: A high pressure water injection humidifier includes a filtration system (11) to filter an incoming water supply and provide filtered water (6) to a low volume high pressure pump (12) driven by a constant speed motor (13), which in turn provides pressurized water (7) to a plurality of exit nozzles (17), each exit nozzle having a precision orifice that atomizes the pressurized water into a mist, where the volume rate of the mist is dependent only on the motor speed and the diameter of the precision orifice.
