Jerry L. McColgin - St. Joseph MI
Chris A. Scriber - Holland MI
Gary Bolin - St. Joseph MI
Kenneth T. Shelley - St. Joseph MI
Assignee:

Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:

H05K 502
US Classification:

361814
Abstract:

A remote control unit for an air conditioner having a controller configured to process multiple temperature inputs, to provide a cycle of operation to provide comfort during sleeping, to provide an automatic cycle of operation wherein a burst of cooling air is provided on demand and/or which is configured to receive and respond to remote signals having different protocols. The remote control unit has a housing with a contoured rib that extends between two support pads so as to provide strength, rigidity and stability to the housing.

US Patent:

55876420, Dec 24, 1996
Filed:

Apr 7, 1995
Appl. No.:

8/418621
Inventors:

Larry J. Manson - Baroda MI
Chris A. Scriber - Holland MI
William L. Davis - Murfreesboro TN
Assignee:

Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:

H02P 7622
US Classification:

318812
Abstract:

An air conditioner having a fan motor brown-out control algorithm for increasing the air conditioner fan speed upon sensing a brown-out under-voltage condition is provided. The air conditioner has a power supply connected to an AC line voltage, a fan motor, a multispeed fan driven by the fan motor and means for sensing a brown-out condition of the AC line voltage. The sensing means is connected to the power supply and provides a signal indicative of a brown-out condition. The air conditioner also has means for increasing the speed of the fan in response to the sensed brown-out condition signal provided by the sensing means. In an embodiment, the air conditioner further has a microprocessor and related circuitry for adjusting the speed of the fan. In another embodiment, logic circuitry is provided instead of a microprocessor. A brown-out control algorithm for an appliance having a multispeed fan and components for operating the fan is also provided.

US Patent:

63147459, Nov 13, 2001
Filed:

Jan 12, 2000
Appl. No.:

9/482129
Inventors:

Donald E. Janke - Benton Harbor MI
Gregory J. Markert - St. Joseph MI
Larry J. Manson - Englewood OH
Husein Allgayer - Huber Heights OH
Jim J Pastryk - Sawyer MI
Mark H Nelson - Berrien Springs MI
Assignee:

Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:

F25C 100
US Classification:

62137
Abstract:

The present invention is directed toward a control system for an ice making system. The ice making system includes an ice maker, and an ice storage bin for receiving ice pieces formed by the ice maker. The control system controls the ice maker and includes optic elements for emitting and receiving a beam of light directed across the upper portion of the bin. The control system senses when the ice maker is ready to harvest ice pieces and then directs a beam of light or light signal from a first side of the ice storage bin, across the bin toward a second side of the ice storage bin. The control system senses for the light signal at the second side of the ice storage bin and if ice pieces block the path of the light signal, the control system prevents ice harvesting from the ice maker. The optic elements of the control system include a light emitting element and a light receiving element. If the status of the light receiving element indicates that the optic elements are impaired due to ice or moisture build up, the optic elements are heated.

US Patent:

55908314, Jan 7, 1997
Filed:

Nov 23, 1994
Appl. No.:

8/344381
Inventors:

Larry J. Manson - Baroda MI
Jerry L. McColgin - St. Joseph MI
John Bentley - St. Joseph MI
Mark Palmer - St. Joseph MI
Assignee:

Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:

G05D 2300
G08B 2100
US Classification:

236 51
Abstract:

The remote control unit for an air conditioner having a controller configured to process multiple temperature inputs, to provide a cycle of operation to provide comfort during sleeping, to provide an automatic cycle of operation wherein a burst of cooling air is provided on demand and/or which is configured to receive and respond to remote signals having different protocols. The remote control unit employs a multiple-way arrow icon and redefinable arrow keys associated with the icon, to enable a user to remotely control operation of the air conditioner.
