(under subclass 220) Subject matter wherein an inductor is connected across a source through a switch which is intermittently operated and it is the duty cycle of the switch which determines the amount of energy which is
diverted from the load.
(1) Note. The switch may take the form of mechanically operated contacts, a transistor, a SCR, a saturable reactor or other such on-off type devices.
