described in more detail herein after a more detailed view of the controller 58 used in the present invention is shown in fig2 controller 58 comprises an analog to digital a d converter 60 for receiving the signal representations sent from moisture sensor 52 it should be understood that the signal from sensor 52 is processed through circuitry not shown the signal is sampled by a d converter 60 in accordance with a counter timer 78 and the sampled values of the moisture signal are sent to a central processing unit cpu 66 for further signal processing which is described below in more detail the cpu which receives power from a power supply 68 comprises one or more processors or processing modules stored in a suitable memory device such as a read only memory rom 70 for predicting a percentage of moisture content or degree of dryness of the clothing articles in the container as a function of the electrical resistance of the articles it will be appreciated that the memory device need not be limited to rom memory being that any memory device that permanently stores instructions and data will work equally effective once it has been determined that the clothing articles have reached a desired degree of dryness then cpu 66 sends respective signals to an input output module 72 which in turn sends respective signals to deenergize the motor and or heater as the drying and cool down cycles are shut off the controller may activate a beeper via an enable disable beeper circuit 80 to indicate the end of the cycle to an user an electronic interface and display panel 82 allows the user for programming operation of the dryer and further allows for monitoring progress of respective cycles of operation of.
