20130339103 | METHOD FOR MEASURING AND IMPROVING ORGANIZATION EFFECTIVENESS - A method of evaluating the effectiveness of an organization. The method includes participants generating responses to a set of organizational statements as part of a one-day event. The participants are able to interact with each other during various phases of the one-day event in order to generate responses. The responses are entered into a software program running on a computer-based platform, and the software program operates on the responses to generate output results (evaluation results . . . e.g., scores associated with various organizational categories) as part of the one-day event. The results may be used to measure and benchmark effectiveness of the organization and to formulate suggestions and actions to be taken by the organization to improve the effectiveness of the organization. | 12-19-2013 |

20120169264 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUTATING A BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR - Traditionally, controllers for brushless, sensorless direct current (DC) motors (in, for example, Hard Disk Drive applications) would use one of the phases of the DC motor to measure a back electromotive force (back-EMF) voltage. This measurement would generally cause a discontinuity in the current waveform for a motor operating at a generally constant rotational speed (i.e., at “run speed”), which would result in poor acoustic performance (i.e., audible hum). Here, however, an integrated circuit (IC) is provided that uses coil current and applied voltage measurements to substantially maintain a predetermined phase difference between the phase of the applied voltage and back-EMF voltage, eliminating the need for a back-EMF voltage measurement and improving the acoustic performance. | 07-05-2012 |
20120293098 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A COMMUTATION ADVANCE AUTOMATICALLY IN A BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR - To achieve peak acoustic and power performance, the coil or applied current should be in phase or substantially aligned with the back electromotive force (back-EMF) voltage. However, there are generally phase differences between the applied current and back-EMF voltage that are induced by the impedance of the brushless DC motor (which can vary based on conditions, such as temperature and motor speed). Traditionally, compensation for these phase differences was provided manually and on an as-needed basis. Here, however, a system and method are provided that automatically perform a commutation advance by incrementally adjusting a drive signal over successive commutation cycles when the applied current and back-EMF voltage are misaligned. | 11-22-2012 |
20130241453 | QUIET MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM - A quiet motor control system is described. This system digitally determines modulated voltages applied to motor phases in a manner that compensates for winding torque distortions, which reduces acoustic emissions. | 09-19-2013 |

20110168737 | RODLESS DISPENSER FOR EXTRUDABLE MATERIALS AND HAVING A CONTENTS INDICATOR - A push chain is used to drive a piston into a canister of extrudable material. The push chain is stored in an elongated chain magazine, withdrawn from the magazine and into the canister by actuation of a trigger connected to a sprocket for the chain. The push chain exerts a compressive force on a piston rod connected to a piston at a point offset from the center line of the piston, causing the piston to rotate to lock the push chain. The amount of material remaining in a tube of extrudable material is enunciated by way of a contents indicator driven by the push chain. | 07-14-2011 |
