Appl. No.:

11/055235

Inventors:

Walter Evanyk - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

PowerPulse Technologies, L.P. - Richardson TX

International Classification:

F26B019/00
F25B013/00

US Classification:

034096000, 034091000

Abstract:

An improved method and apparatus for improving hair management devices, preferably portable devices, such as curling irons and hot air brushes by including novel heating elements and circuits. A novel elongated heat transfer hollow tube is formed of a metal that is preferable perforated with small holes and that heats and cools quickly such as copper, aluminum, or brass. The hollow tube has sufficient wall thickness for rigidity but is sufficiently thin to allow rapid heating and cooling. In addition, a novel heat source is formed with a light bulb, preferably halogen, located with said hollow tube that likewise heats and cools quickly. The light bulb is removable and replaceable in case of damage. A unique circuit automatically applies full power to the unit until it reaches the desired temperature and then allows a control circuit to automatically reduce the power applied to a value sufficient only to maintain the desired temperature. In the preferred embodiment, a bimetallic switch is coupled in parallel with the control circuit to allow full power to be applied to the heating source to obtain rapid heating of the hollow tube and then allows the control circuit to automatically reduce the power to an amount sufficient only to maintain the desired temperature of the hollow tube.

Abstract:

A system for wirelessly monitoring, in real time, certain physiological/biological parameters of an animate body, such as an athlete or a patient. The parameters are sensed and measured by a transducer located on the animate body. The transducer is part of a transponder that includes an electronic unit containing a wireless receiver/transmitter. Remote R/T access units are spaced such that at any given time, signals from the transponder will be received by at least one of the access units where the data can be coupled to a display monitor and the measured parameters viewed in real time. In addition, a real time video image of an animate body, such as a patient/athlete, may be transmitted to a remotely located monitor for monitoring along with the transmitted physiological/biological patient parameters.
