  • Patent number: 6717154
    Abstract: Methods for quantifying the irradiation dose received by an item or items, such as food items and medical items, undergoing irradiation-based sterilization, includes the steps of monitoring a selected electronic parameter associated with an economic single use sensor positioned adjacent the item or items and telemetrically relaying data associated with the monitored electronic parameter to a computer. The computer includes a computer program which is configured to determine the radiation dose received by the item or items by correlating the value of the monitored electronic parameter to a corresponding amount of radiation associated with the value. Related sensors and systems are also described.

  • Patent number: 5057698
    Abstract: A power supply including a resonant converter is provided with current shunt. The current shunt automatically shunts a portion of current flowing in the resonant converter at light loading of the power supply such that output current flowing in an output circuit connected to the power supply would be reduced toward zero as the operating frequency of the converter moves to a predetermined frequency.
