Patents by Inventor Clinton W. Hulme

Clinton W. Hulme has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11845677
    Abstract: A water purification system is disclosed which, includes a reverse osmosis (RO) system or component that is connectable to a city or other outside water feed that is capable of responding to and compensating for low or no feed water pressure coming into the RO system to ensure the outgoing supply of purified water is provided consistently and at a minimum water pressure. This can be accomplished without the need for communication with another device or system-wide facility, such as a hospital, or a pharmaceutical or semiconductor manufacturing system, requiring a constant water supply.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 17, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2023
    Assignee: Evoqua Water Technologies LLC
    Inventor: Clinton W. Hulme
  • Publication number: 20230338633
    Abstract: A reverse osmosis (RO) system is described that is connected to a dialysis machine and is capable of using heated purified water to clean and disinfect an external connection section or portion disposed between the RO systems and the dialysis unit (or any other external heat tolerant device) without forming a closed loop system between both systems before and during a heat forward process. This can be accomplished without the need for direct/indirect or wired/wireless communication with the dialysis unit or the need to introduce a chemical cleaner or process that would require further rinsing after chemical disinfection.

  • Patent number: 11589423
    Abstract: A heat power management system is disclosed for an alternating current (AC) power controller for use with portable reverse osmosis water purification systems requiring precise control of a heating action for an internal water heater coupled with energy savings and the reduction of AC line disturbances. The heat power management system is designed to operate with various international electrical systems while protecting such system from excessive current draws.
