US Patent:
8423198, Apr 16, 2013
Filed:
Nov 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/956479
Inventors:
Timothy Martin Wetzel - Louisville KY, US
Andrew Spanyer - Louisville KY, US
Erick Graven - Louisville KY, US
Martin Scott Mershon - Louisville KY, US

International Classification:
G05B 11/01
US Classification:
700296, 700 19, 700295, 62264
Abstract:
An energy management system is provided for an appliance comprising: an interface to receive a schedule having an off-peak time segment and an on-peak time segment; a control to determine an operation to be performed by the appliance; a mode selecting device to select between an energy management mode and an immediate start mode. A controller includes a memory for storing the schedule and firmware to determine whether there is any off-peak time segments and other time sub-segments between a current time and a deadline for completing the operation. Upon selection of the energy management mode, the controller is arranged to initiate the operation, including a reduction in power consumption to complete the operation, when an amount of time required to complete the operation maximizes the off-peak time segment and sub-segments between the current time and the deadline.

International Classification:
B08B 7/04
B08B 3/04
US Classification:
134 18, 134 252
Abstract:
A dishwasher is provided comprising one or more power consuming functions and a controller in signal communication with an associated utility. The controller can receive and process a signal from the associated utility indicative of current cost of supplied energy. The controller operates the dishwasher in one of a normal operating mode and an energy savings mode based on the received signal. The controller is configured to change the power consuming functions by adjusting one or more of an operation schedule, an operation delay, an operation adjustment, and a selective deactivation of at least one of the one or more power consuming functions to reduce power consumption of the dishwasher in the energy savings mode.

Centrifugal Switch Bypass For Reverse Tumble Dryers

View page
US Patent:
20090064532, Mar 12, 2009
Filed:
Sep 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/853271
Inventors:
Steven M. Recio - Louisville KY, US
Erick Graven - Louisville KY, US
Ashley Burt - Louisville KY, US
Joseph Frazar - Louisville KY, US
International Classification:
F26B 21/06
US Classification:
34547
Abstract:
Systems and methods for bypassing a centrifugal switch are disclosed. The systems may include a bypass relay operatively connected to the heating element and configured to bypass the centrifugal switch prior to the drum reversing rotational direction, and allow the heating element to remain energized during the drum reversing rotational direction. The centrifugal switch bypass circuit further includes a relay hold circuit operatively connected to the bypass relay and configured to cause the bypass relay to continue bypassing the centrifugal switch during the drum reversing rotational direction. The method may include, once the drum begins reversing the rotational direction, utilizing a bypass relay to bypassing the centrifugal switch. Finally, the method may include utilizing a relay hold circuit to cause the bypass relay to continue bypassing the centrifugal switch during reversal of the rotational direction.
