20090102436 | Controller for the three-phase cascade multilevel converter used as shunt active filter in unbalanced operation with guaranteed capacitors voltages balance - The present invention comprises a controller for the cascade H-bridge three-phase multilevel converter used as a shunt active filter. Based on the proposed mathematical model, the controller is designed to compensate harmonic distortion and reactive power due to a nonlinear distorting load. Simultaneously, the controller guarantees regulation and balance of all capacitor voltages. The idea behind the controller is to allow distortion of the current reference during the transients to guarantee regulation and balance of the capacitors voltages.

20090105979 | Fixed reference frame phase-locked loop (FRF-PLL) for unbalanced line voltage conditions - The present invention is an algorithm to implement a phase-locked loop (PLL) which is able to provide an estimation of the angular frequency, and both the positive and negative sequences of the fundamental component of a three-phase signal. These sequences are provided in fixed reference frame coordinates, and thus the proposed algorithm is referred as fixed reference frame PLL (FRF-PLL). In fact, the FRF-PLL does not require transformation of variables into the synchronous reference frame coordinates as in most PLL schemes. The detection of the positive sequence component of the source voltage at fundamental frequency is essential for the control and synchronization of systems coupled with the electric network, which are required to run even under grid disturbances such as unbalanced voltages, voltages sags, harmonic distortion and angular frequency variations. The design of the FRF-PLL is based on a complete description of the source voltage involving both positive and negative sequences in stationary coordinates and considering that the angular frequency is uncertain. Therefore the FRF-PLL is intended to perform properly under unbalanced conditions, and to be robust against angular frequency variations, providing a fast and precise response. | 04-23-2009 |

20100237748 | SPRING DISC ENERGY HARVESTER APPARATUS AND METHOD - An energy harvesting apparatus and method that is especially well suited for harvesting low frequency broadband vibration energy from a vibrating structure is presented. The apparatus includes a pair of disc springs that are arranged in an opposing relationship. A threaded fastening member and a threaded nut extend through apertures in each of the disc springs and enable a predetermined preload force to be applied to the disc springs. The preload effectively “softens” the disc springs, thus heightening the sensitivity of the disc springs to low frequency, low amplitude vibration energy. A piezoelectric material ring is secured to each of the disc springs. Each piezoelectric material ring experiences changes in strain as its associated disc spring deflects in response to vibration energy experienced from a vibrating structure. The electrical output from each piezoelectric material ring can be used to power or activate various forms of electronic sensors and devices, or it can be conditioned and stored in a circuit for later use. | 09-23-2010 |

20130297295 | Script Detection Service - Script detection service techniques are described. In an implementation, a corpora of text is analyzed to determine which strings in the corpora of text are to be included in a targeted dictionary that is usable for language detection services. The targeted dictionary is populated with strings that are individually associated with a human language. The strings include individual text characters associated with values that correspond to a particular subset of values in a table that associates subsets of values with individual human writing systems. | 11-07-2013 |

20100184685 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING POST- OPERATIVE, ACUTE, AND CHRONIC PAIN USING AN INTRA-MUSCULAR CATHETER ADMINISTRATED COMBINATION OF A LOCAL ANESTHETIC AND A NEUROTOXIN PROTEIN - Systems, and methods for the use of such systems, are described that allow for the administration of a combination of a sustained release local anesthetic compound (such as bupivicaine) through a catheter based administration device and direct visualization or percutaneous injection of a neurotoxic protein compound (such as botulinum toxin) for post-operative and refractory treated muscle pain and discomfort in patients having undergone spinal surgery and other muscle splitting or treatments aimed at improving muscle pain. The systems utilize specific catheter-based administration protocols and methods for placement of the catheter in association with muscles surrounding the spine and other anatomical sites within the patient. The utilization of an initial bolus of a specific combination of medications (local anesthetic compound and\or neurotoxic protein compound) followed by a dosage pump administration through the catheter is anticipated. A variety of local anesthetics (in addition to bupivicaine) and a number of different neurotoxin proteins (in addition to the Botulinum toxin) may be utilized in the medicament administration protocols described. | 07-22-2010 |
