  • Publication number: 20250003622
    Abstract: An air conditioning system is provided. The air conditioning system can include an air conditioner unit having a linear transformer and a switching circuit. The linear transformer can include a plurality of primary windings and at least one secondary winding, and the switching circuit can be coupled to the plurality of primary windings. The air conditioning system can include a remote user interface coupled to the at least one secondary winding and a controller operably coupled to the air conditioner unit and the remote user interface. The controller can be configured to control output voltage from the air conditioner unit to the remote user interface by monitoring one or more operational parameters of the air conditioning system, determining a selected winding of the plurality of primary windings based at least in part on the one or more operational parameters, and configuring the linear transformer to operate with the selected winding.

  • Publication number: 20240044535
    Abstract: An appliance includes a heater and a fan. The fan is configured for generating a fan feedback signal indicative of a speed of the fan. A comparator is in signal communication with the fan. The comparator is configured to convert the fan feedback signal into a direct current signal. A heater relay is in communication with the comparator. The relay is configured to open in response to the direct current signal being less than a threshold value, and to close in response to the direct current signal being greater than the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11335010
    Abstract: A method of operating a refrigerator, as provided herein, may include initiating a first image capture sequence at a camera module and identifying a first stored item based on a first two-dimensional image of the first image capture sequence. The method may further include determining an internal location of the first stored item within a chilled chamber or generating an expanded image of the first stored item and a second stored item spaced apart from the first stored item.
