Patent number: 9477638Abstract: Apparatus and related methods are provided for automatically recalibrating a SAW scale for changing environmental factors. During a period of time when there is no change to a weight applied to the scale, readings of SAW transducers which relate to weight indications and environmental factor indications are taken for two adjacent operating modes of the scale, and two calibrated weight calculations are made utilizing those readings. The difference in calibrated weight calculations is then related to a variable utilized to transform the readings into weights, which is updated, thereby recalibrating the scale.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: CIRCUITS & SYSTEMS, INC.Inventor: Vyacheslav D.

Publication number: 20160307683Abstract: A constant-current controller that supplies a constant current to an inductive load. This controller comprises an electric control circuit module. The electric control circuit module comprises a primary switch and a secondary switch. During a time interval in which the primary switch is closed (ton), the secondary switch is open and the voltage across the inductive load is equal to the source voltage (Vs). At time ton until the end of a time interval (T), zero volts appears across the inductive load. During this interval, current continues to flow as supplied by the energy stored in the inductance. The periodic current in the inductive load becomes constant with a sufficiently large PWM switching frequency and is dependent upon the parameters of the control circuit and the duration of ton.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2016Publication date: October 20, 2016Applicant: Hanchett Entry Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brett L.
