| Patent Number: |

| Title: |
Power Regulator |
| Abstract: |
A power regulator system provides power to an electrical load. A power
level selector generates a reference signal which indicates a desired
power level for the electrical load, and a control circuit connected with
a AC power source interrupts flow of the AC current for periods of time
responsive to a reference system from the power selector. A filtering
circuit filters the output of the control circuit and generates therefrom
a second output AC circuit which is smooth relative to this interrupted AC
circuit. This smooth AC output is applied to the load. A relay is provided
to prevent overload conditions from forming adjacent the load in the
circuit. Various types of sensors may be used as the power level
indicator, such sensors including the light detector as movement
detectors, and other electrical sensors.
