Patent number: 9997945Abstract: Disclosed is a chargeable device having a processing circuitry configured to detect a voltage level at a first point of the processing circuitry. The first point is electrically coupled via a first resistor to a source of measurement signal and via a diode to a second point. The second point being electrically coupled via a second resistor to a first charger contact of the chargeable device and via a third resistor to a second charger contact of the chargeable device. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, from the voltage level detected at the first point, whether or not the first charger contact and the second charger contact of the chargeable device are electrically connected to a charger and whether or not the charger is energized.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Oura Health OyInventors: Markku Kallunki, Markku Koskela

Patent number: 6018470Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for producing an operating voltage of a desired form. A high-voltage operating voltage of a desired form is produced by means of a DC-AC converter. The desired operating voltage is usually a sine voltage. The DC-AC converter is controlled by means of a pulse form control signal of a signal generator, the pulse width of the control signal being controlled by means of a pulse width modulator. To change the pulse width of the control pulses, the operating voltage of a desired form produced by means of the DC-AC converter is compared with a reference signal and a comparator is used for forming a difference signal. The difference signal is used for controlling the pulse width of the control signal of the pulse generator in order to produce the operating voltage of a desired form.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1998Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventors: Timo Vaananen, Markku Kallunki
