  • Circuit puzzle
    Patent number: 9770648
    Abstract: An apparatus for the creation of an electrical circuit on a game board as a puzzle to be solved, is provided. The game board includes an electrical control circuit that induces an electromagnetic field above a planar surface of the game board. A plurality of electrically conductive distinctly curved game pieces are placed in various ways on top of the planar surface, the goal being to place all of the pieces on the planar surface in a loop in order to create the electrical circuit. When the final game piece is placed, an induced current flow is experienced by the electrical circuit and detected by the electrical control circuit. In response to detecting completion of the electrical circuit, the electrical control circuit activates an audible indication and a visual indication simultaneously for a period of time to provide a pleasurable reward to the user in the form of sensory feedback.

  • System and method for improving efficiency of a refrigerant based system
    Patent number: 9664426
    Abstract: The present invention is designed to reduce running costs in refrigerant based air-conditioning, refrigeration and heating systems by using a combination of thermodynamic and hydraulic control to manage the on and off states of the compressor, which is the main energy consuming component. Thermodynamic or temperature control is used to manage comfort levels within the room or space being cooled. Hydraulic control is used to determine when the compressor has completed its useful work in delivering a supply of high-pressure liquid refrigerant. Once temperature and hydraulic conditions are satisfied the compressor can be turned off; thereby delivering a significant reduction in running costs.
