  • MOTORIZED VALVE BACKUP CIRCUIT
    Publication number: 20230279963
    Abstract: A control system for a motorized valve. The control system comprises a backup circuit comprising energy storage means and a discharge gate through which the energy storage means can be selectively discharged to provide a discharge actuation pulse to the valve to cause the valve to move to a safe (e.g. closed) position. The backup circuit further includes an energy harvesting circuit for harvesting power from the power supply lines. The energy harvesting circuit is able to harvest sufficient energy within the duration for a single actuation pulse provided by the motor controller to charge the energy storage means from zero to a sufficient level to allow the backup circuit to generate at least one corresponding discharge actuation pulse for causing the valve to move to the safe position.

  • Oven air curtain
    Patent number: 11747024
    Abstract: An oven comprises an interior electronics cavity defined within electronics cavity walls. The oven includes an air inlet for receiving ambient air from an ambient space outside the electronics cavity into the interior electronics cavity and a first air outlet for returning steam laden air from a cooking space to the ambient space outside the cooking space. The oven also includes a second air outlet positioned to separate flow going into the air inlet from flow from the first air outlet. An air plenum can be defined outside of the cooking space, and the air inlet can be defined in a first portion of an exterior interface of the air plenum. The second air outlet can be defined in a second portion of the exterior interface.

  • VOLTAGE CONVERTER HAVING OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20230275420
    Abstract: To provide improved overvoltage protection for a voltage converter for converting an input voltage into a DC output voltage, a first switch-off unit is provided, which is configured to effect a switch-off of at least a part of the voltage converter if the DC output voltage reaches or exceeds a first voltage threshold, in order to reduce the DC output voltage. Furthermore, a second switch-off unit is provided, which is configured to check whether a mean value of the DC output voltage reaches or exceeds a mean value threshold and, if the mean value threshold is reached or exceeded, to effect a switch-off of at least a part of the voltage converter in order to reduce the DC output voltage.

  • Loudspeaker diaphragm
    Patent number: 11743651
    Abstract: A loudspeaker diaphragm (12) comprising a woven fibre body supports damping material (25), for example PVA polymer, on a rearward-facing surface (24). The woven fibre body may be formed of lengths (14) non-metallic fibre material (for example glass fibre) coating with a thin metal coating (32). The mass of the layer of damping material (25) may be less than the mass of the woven fibre body.
