A liquid flow rate detector adapted for detecting whether a rate of flow for liquid flowing through a conduit is above or below a generally predetermined liquid flow rate, and for developing different control signals in response to detecting flow rates above and below that generally predetermined liquid flow rate. The detector includes first and second thermally conductive liquid contact members supported for contact with the flowing liquid; and electric circuitry that detects the ambient temperature of the flowing liquid through the first probe, supplies a limited amount of heat in an attempt to heat the second liquid contact member to a threshold temperature above that ambient temperature, detects the temperature of said second liquid contact member, generates a first control signal when the temperature of the second liquid contact member is at least at the threshold temperature to detect a liquid flow rate below the predetermined liquid flow rate at which the flowing liquid is not capable of cooling the second liquid contact member below the threshold temperature, and generates a second signal when the temperature of the second liquid contact member is maintained below the threshold temperature to detect a liquid flow rate above the predetermined liquid flow rate at which the flowing liquid is capable of cooling the second liquid contact member below the threshold temperature.

An inductive charging system for recharging a battery. The system includes a charger circuit and a secondary circuit. The secondary circuit includes a feedback mechanism to provide feedback to the charger circuit through the inductive coupling of the primary coil and the secondary coil. The charger circuit includes a frequency control mechanism for controlling the frequency of the power applied to the primary coil at least partly in response to the feedback from the feedback mechanism.

A food preparation system includes a non-contact power supply for energizing a cooking appliance. The food preparation system includes a communication system for enabling communication between a food appliance and the system. The appliance transmits an identifier to the system. If the appliance does not have a transmitter, the system attempts to determine the type of appliance from a characterization of the power consumption by the appliance. If the appliance cannot be characterized, the food preparation system can be operated manually.

A computer activation device comprised of at least one local computer system and at least one remote computer system, the computer systems are connected via a standard data communication interface by their own modems. An activator device is in electrical communication with the data communication interfaces of the local and remote computer systems, such that the activator device controls the application of operative power to the local computer system on receipt and recognition of a secure coded signal from the data communication interface of the remote computer system.

An inductively powered gas discharge lamp including both a power coil and a heating coils associated with each filament. The heating coils enable the filaments to be preheated before the starting voltage is applied through the power coils. The inductive power coils and the inductive heater coils are contained within the lamp envelope, allowing the lamp to be entirely sealed. A method of dimming the lamp also is disclosed. The lamp is dimmed by both decreasing the power applied to the power coils and increasing the power applied to the heating coils so as to prevent the arc from extinguishing under lower voltage conditions.

A power supply for inductively powering a remote device has an inverter operating at an operating frequency and a primary coil. A phase comparator compares the phase of the voltage or current delivered by the power supply. If the phase relationship detected by the comparator is unacceptable, the inverter is disabled. After a period of time, the inverter is re-enabled, and the phase relationship is again determined.

A power supply to provide electrical power to one or more loads. The power supply may include a resonant air core transformer to provide an adjustable and adaptable source of power to electronic devices. The power supply may include isolated primary-side circuitry and secondary-side circuitry. The primary-side circuitry may include control circuitry that, among other things, provides drive waveforms for the primary-side switching circuitry. In embodiments configured to produce AC output, the secondary-side circuitry may also include switching circuitry. The primary-side control circuitry may provide drive waveforms for the secondary-side switching circuitry. The secondary-side circuitry may include measurement circuitry that measures the current and/or voltage of the output and provides those measurements to the control circuitry through isolation circuitry. The control circuitry may adjust the drive waveforms for the primary-side and/or secondary-side switching circuitry as a function of the measured values.
