Oct 24, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/258006

Inventors:

Nicholas Anderson - Bayside NY, US

Assignee:

Energy Innovative Products, LLC - Roseland NJ

International Classification:

H02P 27/00
H02P 3/18

US Classification:

318809, 318729, 318799, 318810

Abstract:

A power control system for an A. C. induction motor is disclosed, comprising a voltage/current phase difference generator for determining a difference in phase between a voltage applied to the motor and a current drawn by the motor, and for generating a phase difference signal as a function of the determined difference in phase, the voltage/current phase difference generator including an integrator, the integrator receiving the phase difference signal and generating an error signal for controlling an amount of power supplied to the motor as a function of the phase difference signal, the integrator being electrically coupled to a potentiometer, the potentiometer providing a bias signal for at least partially controlling the error signal; and a delay circuit for controlling the bias signal provided by the potentiometer so as to cause full available power to be supplied to the motor for a predetermined amount of time. The potentiometer further comprises first and second outer terminals and a center tap terminal, the center tap terminal providing the bias signal. The delay circuit controls the resistance appearing across the first outer terminal and second outer terminal of the potentiometer for the predetermined amount of time.

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/003000

Abstract:

A system and method of integrated calorie management is presented. The system includes a computer with a processor, memory, display and user input mechanism. The method includes the steps of measuring a resting metabolic rate (RM) of a user and utilizing the measured resting metabolic rate and user activity level over a predetermined time interval to determine a total energy expenditure (TEE) of the user. The method also includes the steps of determining a total calorie intake (TCI) value representing the person's total calorie intake during the predetermined time interval and determining a caloric balance (CB) for the user from the total energy expenditure measurement and the total calorie intake value. The method further includes the step of using a rate of change of the measured resting metabolic rate to determine when to remeasure the resting metabolic rate of the user.

Appl. No.:

8/164268

Inventors:

Nicholas Anderson - Bayside NY

Assignee:

Energy Consortium, Inc.

International Classification:

G06G 7186
H02P 736

US Classification:

318729

Abstract:

A power factor control system for an A. C. induction motor determines the difference in phase between the voltage applied to the motor and the current drawn by the motor. Based upon this difference in phase, an integrator generates an error signal. The error signal is compared with a ramp wave to derive a pulse signal which controls the voltage applied to the motor, which in turn controls the amount of current supplied to the motor, in order to reduce the power consumed by the motor. The integrator includes a dual-path feedback filter having a polarized capacitor in each path. A power supply is used to quickly provide the full operating bias voltages required by several of the components contained in the control system.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for account data association with voice interface devices are disclosed. For example, when a host user/primary user and guest user have consented for account data to be associated with the primary user's devices, a request to associate the account data may be received. Voice and device-based authentication may be performed to confirm the identity of the guest user and the guest user's account data may be associated with the primary user's devices. During a guest session, voice recognition may be utilized to determine if a given user utterance is from the guest user or the primary user, and actions may be performed by the voice interface device accordingly.

International Classification:

G06F 9/50

Abstract:

A method for managing storage and computational resources in a datacenter includes obtaining a power delivery limit for a rack power supply delivering power to the plurality of computing devices and measuring a resource telemetry for the first computing device and second computing device in the server rack. In response to measuring a power draw of the server rack above a power threshold value of the power delivery limit, the method includes allocating the second computing device of the server rack as a storage server to the first computing device. The method occurs at a server rack including a plurality of computing devices. A first computing device and a second computing device are in network communication with one another. Each of the first computing device and second computing device include a processor and a hardware storage device.
