Abstract From the Canadian patent

A control circuit includes two full-wave rectifiers connected to an AC power source to produce two rectified outputs having different phases with respect to each other a, combining circuit for combining the two rectified outputs to produce a composite output, and a switching means controlled by the composite output. The switching means generates a control signal nearly at the same time that the AC power supply is switched on or off. The control signal is used to energize a device at a delayed time after the AC power supply is switched on, and to de-energize the device substantially at the same time that the AC power supply is switched off.
