摘要： A device and method for detecting lint in a clothes dryer are disclosed. A lint detector is positioned within the clothes dryer. A light source is also positioned within the clothes dryer. The lint detector has a surface that receives light emitted by the light source. Further, the lint detector has a photocell that receives light reflected from the surface if lint covers the surface. A determination is made as to whether a threshold amount of light has been received. An indication such as the activation of a warning light can be provided if the threshold amount of light is received. Another response is shutting the clothes dryer down.

摘要： A method of detecting lint in a clothes dryer is disclosed. Light is directed through a surface within the clothes dryer, the light being emitted by a light source. The light is received at a photocell if the light is reflected off the surface when lint covers the surface. An indication is provided that lint is present within the clothes dryer if light is received at the photocell. Furthermore, a voltage level detector is positioned within the lint detector and determined if a threshold amount of light is received. In another aspect, if the threshold amount of light is received a warning light, an audio speaker, or an electrical output can be activated. Likewise, the clothes dryer can be automatically shut down. In another aspect, the photocell is a phototransistor. In another aspect, the photocell is a photoresistor.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses of for detecting lint are disclosed. In one embodiment, a light is directed to a plate. The light can be being emitted by a light source. A reflectometer is calibrated to a specific thermal emissivity of the plate. The thermal emission resulting from the light directed to the plate is received at the reflectometer. Lint is permitted to deposit on the plate. A change in thermal emission is detected if lint deposits on the plate. The change in thermal emission can be detected by the reflectometer. An indication that lint is present within the clothes dryer is provided if a change in thermal emission is detected by the reflectometer.

摘要： There is provided by this invention an apparatus for sputter deposition of an insulating material in a continuous mode of operation that utilizes at least two sputtering anodes and a cathode connected to a center tapped conductor to maintain the target cathode at a negative potential with respect to the plasma wherein an ac power supply drives each anode alternately to an ion collecting state to attract ions in the half cycle that a sputtering anode is at a negative potential relative to the plasma, and an electron collecting state to attract electrons in the half cycle that a sputtering anode is at a small potential relative to the plasma or is near the plasma potential. In an alternate embodiment the center tapped conductor is replaced with a pair of series connected diodes having the cathode of a first diode connected to a first sputtering anode, a cathode of a second diode connected to a second sputtering anode and the junction of the anodes of the first and second diodes connected to the target cathode to maintain the target cathode at a negative potential with respect to said plasma wherein the ac power supply drives each sputtering anode alternately to an ion collecting state to attract ions in the half cycle that an anode is at a negative potential relative to the plasma, and an electron collecting state to attract electrons in the half cycle that an anode is at a potential relative to the plasma small compared to the power supply voltage and providing for plasma current flow during the period either sputtering anode is in an ion collecting state.
