Abstract: A compact antenna for use in a device for controlling the power delivered to an electric load and operable to transmit or receive radio frequency signals at a specified frequency is presented. The antenna comprises a first loop of conductive material having a capacitance and an inductance forming a circuit being resonant at the specified frequency, and a second loop of conductive material having two ends adapted to be electrically coupled to an electronic circuit. The second loop is substantially only magnetically coupled to the first loop and is electrically isolated from the first loop. In a first embodiment of the antenna, the first and second loops are formed on respective first and second printed circuit boards, which allow for a small, low-cost antenna that is easy to manufacture and maximizes efficiency. When the antenna is installed in a load control device, such as a dimmer, the first loop of the antenna is mounted on an outer surface of the device. The second loop of the antenna may be at a high-voltage potential such as line voltage.

Abstract: A push-pull dispensing cap is described for a container having an open-necked top. There is a first cap member, attachable to an open-necked container, which has an outside thread for engagement with threading of an overcap, and has an upwardly projecting hollow portion with at least one dispensing port. It also is slideably attached to a second cap member such that the second cap member may cyclically moved with a first, closed position being downward, and a second, open position being upward. The second cap member has a dispensing port thereon and has an outwardly projecting ridge thereon with a cut-out located on the ridge to permit passage therethrough of a protrusion located inside the overcap. The second cap member is attached to the first cap member so as to prevent any of substantial horizontal rotation of it relative to the first cap member. The overcap is adapted to fit over the second cap member, has a top and a sidewall, has internal threading adapted to thread with the outside of the first cap member.

Abstract: The present invention is a container dispensing cap closure, which includes a container, a circular base and a pivot cap. The container has a neck, an open top and external threading for affixing a circular base thereto. The circular base has a circular inside wall with internal threading for attachment to the neck of the container. The circular base has an inwardly flexible leveraged sidewall trigger with a catch thereon which, when flexed inwardly, engages and pivots a pivot cap upwardly into an open position. The circular base has an upwardly extending guide-wall that regulates the pivotal rotation of the pivot cap, and an opening from which contents may be dispensed. The pivot cap is attached to the circular base by a clasp-element which is attached to two raised sidewall tracts located on the top of the circular base. The raised sidewall tracts comprise impressions which interact with snap-in-bead protrusions located on the clasp-element, thus allowing the pivot cap to pivot thereabout. The snap-in-bead protrusions and impressions are in frictional contact thus stabilizing the pivotal rotation of the pivot cap. The pivot cap also has a flat top and a lip which extends downwardly about the perimeter of the pivot cap. When the pivot cap is in a closed position the lip rests upon the top of the circular base. The pivot cap has a plug which, when the pivot cap is in a closed position, seals the opening on the circular base.

Abstract: A dimmer circuit provides AC power to an inductive lighting load in series with the dimmer circuit. A bidirectional semiconductor switch has a control electrode with a control signal for determining the power provided to the load. The switch in normal operation is controlled to block voltage in first and second half-cycles of the AC voltage. In a failure mode it can block the AC voltage in only one half-cycle. A controller for the switch determines the failure mode of the switch occurs which can cause an asymmetry between the half-cycles and thus a DC voltage component. A power supply supplies power to the controller from across the dimmer circuit. The controller drives the switch into substantially full conduction during most of the half-cycle which the switch is able to control; and drive the switch into non-conduction for a period of time during that same half-cycle so as to reduce the DC voltage component to prevent excessive transformer heating. The power supply is provided with sufficient voltage from the AC voltage to enable the controller to continue to operate.

Abstract: A two-wire dimmer for control of a lighting load from an alternating-current (AC) power source includes a semiconductor switch, a power supply, and a control circuit. The power supply includes an energy storage input capacitor that is able to charge only when the semiconductor switch is non-conductive. The control circuit continuously monitors the voltage on the input capacitor and automatically decreases the maximum allowable conduction time of the semiconductor switch when the voltage falls to a level that will not guarantee proper operation of the power supply. The dimmer of the present invention is able to provide the maximum possible conduction time of the semiconductor switch at high end (i.e., maximum light intensity) while simultaneously ensuring sufficient charging time for proper operation of the power supply, and hence, the dimmer.
