Publication number: 20240090703Abstract: A cordless appliance includes a blender having a base unit with a housing and an upwardly opening upper cavity. A drive connection is positioned within the upwardly opening upper cavity. The housing further includes a battery-receiving cavity that is configured to receive a removable battery. A motor is disposed within the housing of the base unit it is contemplated to be powered by the removable battery. A blender jar includes an upper collar in an interior cavity. A first lid assembly is configured to be coupled to the upper collar of the blender jar and includes a blade assembly and a drive connecting member. A second lid assembly includes a cap member removably received on an open aperture of the second lid assembly. The first and second lid assemblies are configured for limited rotation with respect to the blender jar for engagement of the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Antonius K. Aditjandra, Richard D. Arnold, Lynsey A. Howse, Rebecca K. Kasner, Brandon Tyler Mock, John Jay Myers, Nicholas Hill Schutte, Yifan Wang, Rex D. Wilson

Patent number: 8884606Abstract: A current determiner comprising a first input conductor and a first current sensor, formed of a plurality of magnetoresistive, anisotropic, ferromagnetic thin-film layers at least two of which are separated from one another by a nonmagnetic layer positioned therebetween, and both supported on a first side of a substrate adjacent to but electrically isolated from one another with the first current sensor positioned in those magnetic fields arising from any input currents. A first shield/concentrator of a material exhibiting a substantial magnetic permeability is positioned on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side of the substrate. The substrate can include a monolithic integrated circuit structure containing electronic circuit components of which at least one is electrically connected to the first input conductor.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2011Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: NVE CorporationInventors: John K. Myers, James M. Daughton

Patent number: 7952345Abstract: A current determiner comprising a first input conductor and a first current sensor, formed of a p.lurality of magnetoresistive, anisotropic, ferromagnetic thin-film layers at least two of which are separated from one another by a nonmagnetic layer positioned therebetween, and both supported on a substrate adjacent to but electrically isolated from one another with the first current sensor positioned in those magnetic fields arising from any input currents. A first shield/concentrator of a material exhibiting a substantial magnetic permeability is positioned between the substrate and the first input conductor. The substrate can include a monolithic integrated circuit structure containing electronic circuit components of which at least one is electrically connected to the first input conductor. Magnetically permeable material can be provided in supporting structures.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2009Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: NVE CorporationInventors: John K. Myers, James M.

Patent number: 7557562Abstract: A current determiner comprising a first input conductor and a first current sensor, formed of a plurality of magnetoresistive, anisotropic, ferromagnetic thin-film layers at least two of which are separated from one another by a nonmagnetic layer positioned therebetween, and both supported on a substrate adjacent to and spaced apart from one another so they are electrically isolated with the first current sensor positioned in those magnetic fields arising from any input currents. A first shield/concentrator of a material exhibiting a substantial magnetic permeability is positioned between the substrate and the first input conductor. A similar second current sensor can be individually formed, but can also be in the current determiner structure that is supported on the substrate along with a second input conductor supported on the substrate suited for conducting input currents therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2005Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: NVE CorporationInventors: John K.
