  • Patent number: 9570643
    Abstract: A cooling system for cooling a temperature-dependent power device includes an active cooling device and a controller to generate and transmit a drive signal thereto to selectively activate the device. The controller receives an input from sensors regarding the cooling device power consumption and measured operational parameters of the power equipment—including the power device output power if the device is a power producing device or the power device input power if the device is a power consuming device. The controller generates and transmits a drive signal to the cooling device based on the cooling device power consumption and the measured power device input or output power in order to cause the active cooling device to selectively cool the heat producing power device. A net system power output or total system power input can be maximized/minimized by controlling an amount of convection cooling provided by the cooling device.

  • Publication number: 20080235614
    Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, a system for providing a customizable multi-user interface for a treatment appliance is presented. The system includes a user interface having a display region. The display region may include a user selection menu wherein one of a plurality of stored users may be selected. Once a user is selected, various customized user interface parameters and wash cycles associated with that user will be available for selection. The customized user interface parameters may include brightness, contrast, volume, and the like. Each cycle may include various customized wash cycle parameters, such as wash temperature, spin speed and soil level. The user interface may further include a plurality of soft keys provided for the selection of menu options on the display. In addition, the user interface may include a rotatable knob from which cycle selections may be made.
