Patents by Inventor Thomas H. Phlipot

Thomas H. Phlipot has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6430036
    Abstract: A housing for electrical devices such as connectors, circuit breakers, and fuse panels. A cable outlet port member is separate from the housing to provide unidirectional resistance to movement of a cable relative to the housing. The non-integral relationship permits the members to be replaced in the event of damage. A busbar formed by a stamping and bending operation is also disclosed for use in combination with conventional circuit breakers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6184649
    Abstract: A power converter supplies a charging current to a rechargeable battery responsive to a control module. The control module includes a microcontroller, a memory coupled to the microcontroller and power converter code. The power converter code causes the microcontroller to determine a battery output voltage of the rechargeable battery. The power converter code also causes the microcontroller to provide a control signal, which adjusts the power converter output voltage responsive to the battery output voltage. The control module also provides for a desulfation mode when the power converter is in a storage mode.

  • Patent number: 5982643
    Abstract: A system to control the output voltage of a power converter in response to a specific load battery condition. The system contains a power converter, a TCMS interface attached thereto and a controller for selectively and/or adaptably changing the magnitude of converter output voltage. A control module is incorporated in the system to automatically change converter output voltage up or down in response to the load (input) voltage. The module contains a microcontroller to sense the battery (input) voltage process said input voltage with an analog-to-digital converter. The microcontroller is programmed to execute a series of routines to determine the proper charging voltage for the system. Thereafter, the control module communicates this information through the interface of the power converter to cause the power converter to charge at the optimum voltage. In the alternative, a plug-in component containing passive circuitry may be used to manually signal the power converter to charge at a predetermined voltage.

  • Patent number: 5728145
    Abstract: A thermal blanket for flowing temperature controlled air upon a patient wherein the blanket is inflated with air and orifices within the blanket permit the air to flow upon the patient. The improvement includes the locating of the air inlet at a central blanket location in the patient's chest region to permit the highest air temperature to be available over the chest region, and the air flow direction produces optimum distribution. The locating of the air hose upon the blanket upper side permits the inflated blanket to insulate the hose from the patient, the portion of the blanket placed over the patient's head is perforated to facilitate forming a head receiving opening, and a transparent barrier may be affixed to the blanket upper side to cover the patient's face during respiration.

  • Patent number: 5486205
    Abstract: An air diffuser system for a medical thermal blanket wherein air forced over an elongated heat exchanger is substantially uniformly distributed over the heat exchanger and a thermal sensor located downstream over the heat exchanger to eliminate localized hot and cold "spots" and permit accurate temperature measurement of the air and provide an effective exchange of heat between flowing air and the heat exchanger, the apparatus of invention is characterized by its concise configuration and dimensions.
