Publication number: 20140292249Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a motor-driven mechanical system with a detection system to measure properties of a back channel and derive oscillatory characteristics of the mechanical system. Uses of the detection system may include calculating the resonant frequency of the mechanical system and a threshold drive DTH required to move the mechanical system from the starting mechanical stop position. System manufacturers often do not know the resonant frequency and DTH of their mechanical systems precisely. Therefore, the calculation of the specific mechanical system's resonant frequency and DTH rather than depending on the manufacturer's expected values improves precision in the mechanical system use. The backchannel calculations may be used either to replace or to improve corresponding pre-programmed values.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventors: Colin LYDEN, Javier CALPE-MARAVILLA, Mark MURPHY, Eoin ENGLISH, Denis Martin O'CONNOR, Tudor VINEREANU, Alan CAHILL, Sean BRENNAN

Patent number: 8806486Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for customers to easily, quickly and remotely manage their virtual data centers. Using, for example, a “single pane of glass” GUI view which shows all of the components (including e.g., machines (cpu and RAM), network services (load balancers, firewalls, network address translation, IP management) and storage) of their virtual data centers, provides a complete overview and a starting point for system or component management. According to embodiments, a Roles Based Access Control (RBAC) system is provided which simulates the organizational structure and workflow of a typical IT department to enable workflow management via the GUI for any component or function of a customer's virtual data center.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Time Warner Cable Enterprises, LLC.Inventors: Denis Martin, David Grimes, Thomas Warnock, John Dwyer

Patent number: 8639438Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assisting in the driving of a vehicle during a braking test on said vehicle on a track, said track being divided into a plurality of adjacent strips (Z1, . . . , Zn) mainly extending lengthwise in the track, the width (Iz) of each strip being greater than or equal to the width of the tires of the vehicle, each strip being worn on each braking of the vehicle on said strip. The assistance method comprises a step of selecting at least one strip out of the plurality of strips of the track, said strip being selected according to its level of wear. The assistance method also comprises a step of determining a theoretical trajectory of the vehicle, such that, by following said theoretical trajectory, the vehicle is able to brake on the selected strip.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2011Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignees: Compagnie Generale des Establissements Michelin, Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A.Inventors: Denis Martin, Jeremy Buisson
