Title: Method and arrangement for the power supply of an induction heating device
Inventor: BOGEL JORG
IPC: H05B6/06
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: In order to increase the power of an induction heating device (L) or in order to avoid system reactions when driving the latter, either the pulse widths (G1, G2) of the two switching means (T1, T2) can be made unsymmetrical in the case of half-bridge driving up to the half-point of a half-cycle. Alternatively, a dead time (H1, H2) between the pulse width (G1, G2) can be extended. This advantageously takes place without interruption and continuously. In the course of a half-cycle, the power is thus reduced given an unaltered operating frequency and an inductor current (IL) has virtually an ideal sine-wave form.

Title: Infant headwear for treating an infants's persistently maintained head position, seen in conditions such as plagiocephaly (baby flat head) and torticollis (wry neck)
Inventor: SLATTEN JEFFREY B
IPC: A42B1/00
Filed: 2009-03-30
Abstract: An article of headwear to treat an infant's persistently maintained head position with respect to rotation about the cranial-caudal (head to toe) axis, seen in conditions such as plagiocephaly (baby flat head) and torticollis (wry neck). The headwear both permits and encourages an infant with a preferred head position to volitionally turn his or her head in several positions thereby promoting head and neck rotation and development of a naturally shaped cranium, thus treating or preventing torticollis and plagiocephaly respectfully. The infant headwear generally includes a head receiving member and positioning guide member. The head receiving member is placed on the infant's head and allows strategic placement of the positioning guide member. The positioning guide member increases the ability of the infant with a flat region to turn his or her head by re-establishing a round contour, and selectively increases cutaneous pressure in order to balance the variables influencing the infant's preferred head position.
