Circuit for energy conservation
First Claim
1. A method of automatically obtaining a desired output power, Po, from an electrical load of a system with reduced input power, Pin, where Po=Pin−
- Pl+Pr, where P1=Power losses expended in the load as well as any system losses and Pr=Power that is residual power stored in the load at the desired output power, comprising the steps of;
supplying continuous input power, Pin, to the load to achieve the desired output power, Po, with an accompanying residual power, Rr; and
using variable rate pulse time modulated signals to automatically reduce the input power, Pin, to an amount sufficient only to replace the power losses, Pl, thereby just maintaining the residual power, Pr, equal to the desired power output, Po, thereby conserving input power and prolonging the life of the load.

Abstract
An improved circuit for automatically controlling energy to electrical energy consuming devices according to the well-known equation
Po=Pin−Pl+Pr (1)
where Po=Power output, Pin=Power input, Pl=Power losses, and Pr=Residual Power.
Thus, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for obtaining a desired output power, Po, from an electrical load by supplying sufficient pulse time modulation energy, Pin, to the device to replace only losses, Pl, and to maintain only the residual power, Pr, thus maintaining the desired Power output, Po, and thereby conserving input energy, Pin, that would otherwise be wasted.
