  • Patent number: 11308567
    Abstract: The technology provides for utilizing and displaying physician analytics. For example, a result metric for a physician is based on a value metric, a quality metric, and/or a quantity metric. The value metric, quality metric, and/or quantity metric may all be received from different sources. The result metric may be displayed on a chart, or the result metric may be utilized for determining referral recommendations for a physician. The result metric may be displayed as a physician indicator on the chart. An insight for the physician may also be determined from the result metric. The insight may be based on the location of the physician indicator on the chart, and the insight may be represented by the color or other visual attribute of the physician indicator. For referral recommendations, the result metric may be used to adjust the rank of a physician in a referral search result.

  • Patent number: 11159113
    Abstract: In the fault-tolerant direct thrust-force control (FT-DTC) method, the generalized Clarke transform matrix and its inverse matrix are derived according to the fault-tolerant phase currents. The stator fluxes in ?-? plane are deduced based on these. Based on the requirement of circular stator flux trajectory, virtual stator fluxes are defined, and then compensatory voltages in the ?-? plane are obtained. Actual stator voltages in the ?-? plane are calculated by modulation function of voltage source inverter. Combining with the compensatory voltages, the actual stator voltages and the stator currents, the virtual stator fluxes and the thrust-force are estimated by the flux and thrust-force observers. The thrust-force reference, the stator flux amplitude reference, the observed thrust-force and virtual stator flux are applied to predict virtual stator voltage references.
