| 20100320975 | QUASI-CONTINUOUS VOLTAGE REGULATOR WITH DUAL POLARITY OUTPUTS - A controller includes a hysteretic circuit that provides a first ON level pulse when a corresponding first negative regulated voltage rises above a respective first voltage threshold. Similarly, a second ON level pulse is provided when a corresponding second positive regulated voltage falls below a respective second voltage threshold. The hysteretic circuit provides an OFF level pulse when one of first and second switch currents increases above a current threshold. A switch control circuit receives the first and second ON level pulses and the OFF level pulse, and provides first and second switch control outputs to separately regulate the first and second regulated voltages. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100320987 | QUASI-CONTINUOUS VOLTAGE REGULATOR AND CONTROLLER - A controller for a voltage regulator includes a hysteretic circuit that generates a hysteretic voltage output as a function of a regulated voltage and that generates a hysteretic current output as a function of an inductor current. A switch control circuit provides a quasi-continuous control output as a function of the hysteretic current output from a start time when the regulated voltage rises above a higher hysteretic voltage until a stop time when the regulated voltage falls below a lower hysteretic voltage. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20090015186 | SUPPRESSING PHASED MOTOR VOLTAGE TRANSIENTS ON DISCONNECT - A clamping circuit is included in a phased motor control circuit, particularly on an electrical connection connected to at least one electrostatic discharge cell and/or the driver control electronics of the phased motor control circuit. The clamping circuit triggers when a voltage that exceeds a clamping turn-on threshold occurs on the electrical connector, sourcing or sinking the discharge current so as to protect the electrostatic discharge cells and/or driver control electronics from destruction by said discharge current. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090058330 | DRIVING A MULTI-PHASED MOTOR - Motor control circuitry reduces the amount of driving voltage profile data stored in a profile datastore to completely rotate the phased motor. The stored driving voltage profile data defines driving voltages samples applied during a limited portion of the electrical period required to completely rotate the phased motor. For example, in one implementation, only one-sixth of the electrical period is defined and stored in a profile datastore. The driving voltage samples for another three-sixths of the electrical period are derived from this one-sixth profile (e.g., reversing, inverted, reversed and inverted), and the driving voltage samples for another two-sixths of the electrical period are based on saturated levels at the power supply voltage and a neutral voltage (e.g., ground). The described motor control circuitry can also provide improved torque at low power supply levels, particularly when saturated portions of the driving voltage profile exceed sixty degrees. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20090043445 | AUTOMOBILE MILEAGE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM - The application describes a system for notifying a vehicle owner regarding service due for a vehicle based on the vehicle's accumulated mileage. The system determines vehicle mileage based on GPS data, determines whether the mileage has exceeded a threshold, transmits a wireless signal from the vehicle to a notification service provider computer when the threshold is exceeded, and sends a notice from the notification service provider to the dealer and/or customer to indicate that vehicle service is due. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100271198 | GLOBAL EMERGENCY ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM - An emergency event reporting system combines emergency event detection means with a wireless beacon capable of communicating with the Cospas-Sarsat search-and-rescue satellite system. The system provides for the association of a beacon's unique identification number (UIN) with a third-party monitoring service to which the emergency event message is to be reported. In this way, civilian emergency events can be reliably handled without overwhelming limited government search and rescue resources. Several applications of the system are disclosed, which include reporting alarm messages from home and business security systems and crash alerts indicating the deployment of a vehicle air bag during a vehicle crash. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110093159 | SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING DATA ACQUIRED FROM VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE FOR VEHICLE INVENTORY MONITORING - A system for keeping an inventory of vehicles that serve as collateral for loans provided by a lending entity includes a vehicle monitoring device, a database, and a central vehicle data server. The vehicle monitoring device includes a wireless modem, a processor, a GPS receiver, a vehicle diagnostics interface connector, and memory. These components are preferably enclosed in a small housing which may be installed beneath the dashboard of a vehicle. The vehicle diagnostics interface connector connects to the vehicle's OBD interface which is electrically connected to the vehicle's on-board diagnostics processor. The device retrieves vehicle diagnostic data through the vehicle's OBD interface based on the occurrence of certain events during the operation of the vehicle, such as ignition events, voltage change events, and location-based events, such as crossing a geofence boundary or exceeding a mileage or speed threshold. The device transmits the retrieved vehicle diagnostic data to the central vehicle data server via a wireless communication network. Vehicle inventories are managed in the database based on the information transmitted from the vehicle monitoring device. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20090188969 | WELD METAL MATERIAL APPARATUS AND METHOD - A solid weld-metal-producing material is formed by agglomerating weld metal material powder. An igniter may be integrally formed in or on the agglomerated weld metal material. In addition to typical components of a weld metal material mixture, such as a reductant metal and a transition metal oxide, the agglomerated weld metal mixture may include a binder material, such as sodium silicate. In addition to functioning as a binder to help hold the agglomerated weld metal material together, the binder material may aid in the exothermic reaction that occurs when the weld metal material is ignited. The agglomerated weld metal material may be made by mixing together a reductant metal powder, a transition metal oxide powder, and possibly a binder solution. A slurry of the components may be pressed together, for example, using a die and a ram, and then may be dried. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20110014824 | GROUNDING LUG - A grounding lug for holding a grounding wire includes a housing defining an opening for receiving a wire and a clamping pad movable relative to the housing. The clamping pad is movable between an unclamped position in which the clamping pad defines a wire-receiving pocket in combination with the opening defined by the housing, and a clamped position in which the clamping pad clamps the wire to the housing. The grounding lug also includes a moving mechanism coupled to the housing and the clamping pad for moving the clamping pad between the unclamped and clamped positions. | 01-20-2011 |
