  • Patent number: 5410127
    Abstract: An electric blanket system which runs from an AC power input, and does not use a transformer; but the power supply is rectified and regulated, to reduce the AC component of current by 90% or more (preferably 99% or more). The blanket itself uses a field-cancelling resistor layout, to achieve a further reduction of 95% or more (preferably 99% or more). The combination of these techniques provides a reasonably cheap way to bring the low-frequency magnetic field strength down to acceptable levels.
