  • Patent number: 11693634
    Abstract: Certain aspects involve building segment-specific executable program code. In one example, a code-building service can execute segmentation logic that assigns different target entity records to different segments based on differences between sets of attribute values among the target entity records. The code-building service can select, for each segment, a set of data assets that is specific to the assigned segment and a set of source code portions that is specific to the selected data assets. The code-building service can order each set of the source code portions based on an identified modeling output type for the target entity records. The code-building service can generate, from the ordered source code portions, a set of program code referencing the selected subset of the data assets. For instance, the generated program code, if executed, can generate and transmit different modeling outputs for different target entity records.

  • Patent number: 10025276
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8884573
    Abstract: A drive signal for a motor-driven mechanical system has zero (or near zero) energy at an expected resonant frequency of the mechanical system. These techniques not only generate a drive signal with substantially no energy at the expected resonant frequency, they provide a zero-energy “notch” of sufficient width to tolerate systems in which the actual resonant frequency differs from the expected resonant frequencies.
