Title: David M. Wheeler and His Ignition-Isolating Interrupt Circuit.

Introduction

David M. Wheeler is an inventor associated with Laguna Hills, California, and The Boeing Company. His patent work includes an ignition-isolating interrupt circuit designed to control power delivery to an ignition circuit.

Latest Patents

Wheeler is credited with 1 patent, titled “Ignition Isolating Interrupt Circuit.” The invention describes a main transition circuit that isolates a first activation circuit from an ignition circuit. It receives source power from the first activation circuit and, in response to an activation signal from a second activation circuit, supplies that power to the ignition circuit. A power-source monitor cutoff circuit, which includes a comparator, disables the ignition circuit when the source voltage falls below a predetermined level.

Career Highlights

Wheeler’s documented patent contribution focuses on ignition control and electrical safety. The circuit’s voltage-monitoring feature is designed to interrupt ignition operation when the power source does not meet the specified voltage threshold.

Collaborations

The provided information identifies Gregory Harris Smith as Wheeler’s coworker. It does not specify Smith’s role in the patent or establish that he collaborated on the invention.

Conclusion

David M. Wheeler’s patent describes an ignition-control circuit that combines activation-based power delivery with voltage monitoring, reflecting a focused contribution to electrical system design.
