| 20090219005 | Load Control Device Having a Trigger Circuit Characterized by a Variable Voltage Threshold - A two-wire load control device, such as a dimmer, is operable to control the amount of power delivered to an electrical load, such as a magnetic low-voltage (MLV) load, and comprises a bidirectional semiconductor switch, a timing circuit, a trigger circuit having a variable voltage threshold, and a clamp circuit. When a timing voltage signal of the timing circuit exceeds an initial magnitude of the variable voltage threshold, the trigger circuit is operable to render the semiconductor switch conductive, reduce the timing voltage signal to a predetermined magnitude less than the initial magnitude, and to increase the variable voltage threshold to a second magnitude greater than the first magnitude. The clamp circuit limits the magnitude of the timing voltage signal to a clamp magnitude between the initial magnitude and the second magnitude, thereby preventing the timing voltage signal from exceeding the second magnitude. Accordingly, multiple attempted firings of the semiconductor switch are avoided, and the MLV dimmer is prevented from conducting asymmetric current when an MLV transformer of the MLV load is unloaded. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20110132349 | PORTABLE TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED WATER HEATER - An apparatus and method for portably heating water for the purpose of showering or cleanup. A flow of water, originating from a supply container, is warmed as it passes through a heat exchanger transferring energy from a heat source. The heated flow of water is deposited into an accumulating container. The water temperature is actively and automatically controlled by a temperature-responsive valve. Responding to the temperature of the flowing water, the temperature-responsive valve varies the flow of water so as to produce an accurate water temperature within the accumulating container. The flow of water is gravitationally motivated by a pressure head differential between the supply container positioned at an upper elevation and the accumulating container positioned at a lower elevation. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20110215942 | LADDER POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT MODULE - A flasher module, installable on a ladder, incorporates multiple high-intensity light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are coupled to an electro-chemical power source (battery or single cell). The LEDs may be wired for a continuous “ON” condition, but are preferably connected to flasher circuitry. For maximum visible intensity, the flasher circuitry is designed so that all LEDs flash simultaneously about one to two times per second. A first embodiment flasher module is sized to install within the uppermost portion of a ladder rail of C-shaped cross section. A second embodiment module, which provides a larger viewing angle, incorporates the LEDs within a bar that is mountable beneath the uppermost rung of the ladder. Either embodiment of the invention may be equipped with a gravity-actuated switch, which will turn on the flasher circuitry whenever the ladder is deployed at an angle greater than 45 degrees from horizontal. | 09-08-2011 |
