Title: Raul Antonio Rascon: Innovator in Thermostat Technology

Introduction

Raul Antonio Rascon is a notable inventor based in Chihuahua, Mexico. He has made significant contributions to the field of thermostat technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to climate control systems.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is the Hybrid Line Volt Two-Wire Thermostat. This invention discloses systems and methods that provide a novel thermostat system, which involves a hybrid line volt two-way thermostat configured with triode for alternating current (TRIAC) and relay components. The configuration and operational benefits of each thermostat type can be leveraged by the disclosed hybrid thermostat, which can provide a silent, efficiently operated thermostat system. Such a system provides a resource-efficient heating, ventilation, and cooling control system that can reduce power consumption and thereby reduce costs, while maintaining a streamlined, operationally accurate framework for monitoring and managing the climate of a location, such as a building, home, or office.

Another significant patent is the Gauge Calibration Method. This invention includes an instrument panel gauge assembly with an applique having gauge graphics printed thereon and a needle pointer for a gauge assembly positioned adjacent to it. A transparent chaplet is formed within the applique to allow light to pass through. The needle passes over the chaplet as it moves. When the needle is positioned directly in front of the chaplet, light is blocked from passing through. A light-sensing element is positioned behind the applique to detect the presence of light passing through the chaplet. A light baffle guides light passing through the chaplet to the light-sensing element. A controller receives a signal from the light-sensing element indicating when the needle pointer is directly in front of the chaplet. The controller then compares the actual input to the gauge with the position of the needle pointer, calculates a correction factor, and calibrates the gauge accordingly.
