-
Patent number: 10206250Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides a consumer appliance that uses RF energy to heat foods stored in a container that is suitable for RF heating.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2015Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: AMBRELL CORPORATIONInventors: Richard H. Rosenbloom, Leslie L. Thompson, Brian Louis Teachout, Ian Alan Paull
-
Patent number: 9439246Abstract: A modular RF power system allows multiple power supplies to combine their RF output power as a single system and deliver it to a common resonant circuit. For flexibility and commonality, each power supply is designed to be separately powered by AC line voltage (aka AC Mains). The AC voltage supplied to each power supply may differ due to differing AC distribution line length, line impedance, wire gauge, or different supply generation locations.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Ambrell CorporationInventor: Ian Alan Paull
-
Patent number: 9167631Abstract: When a power system experiences a disruptive event, conditions may exist that threaten the survival of power devices used in the system. Embodiments described herein provide an improved means of protecting these devices under such circumstances.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2007Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Ameritherm, Inc.Inventor: Ian Alan Paull

Patent number: 8283985Abstract: Preferred embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods that automatically correct the desired on-time of switching elements as the resonant frequency changes, so as to maintain the correct proportional value.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Ameritherm, Inc.Inventor: Ian Alan Paull
-
Publication number: 20110221493Abstract: Power switching systems often benefit from controlling the instant at which the power devices change state so as to minimize dissipation in these devices. Such systems often require fairly tight tolerances on reactive components and a relatively narrow frequency operating range to be certain these switching times occur as intended. This invention defines a system that can adapt the required switching instant over very wide changes in the reactive components.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2011Publication date: September 15, 2011Applicant: AMERITHERM, INC.Inventor: Ian Alan PAULL
