Publication number: 20240157197Abstract: A system and method for analyzing and improving the performance of a body motion, which requires receiving, by a CPU, sensor data from sensors worn by a user; storing the transmitted sensor data in a data buffer; recognizing that a motion gesture occurred based on a signature of acceleration data in the buffered sensor data, extracting from the data buffer sensor data from a predetermined time window around the moment when the motion gesture occurred; automatically generating a regime file customized for the user based on the extracted sensor data, and generating in real-time a user interface displaying a representation corresponding to the motion indicated by the sensor data, wherein the CPU determines the signature of acceleration data by matching the buffered sensor data with stored motion signatures, wherein the regime file is automatically generated based on diagnostic parameters obtained from the sensor data associated with a motion activity category.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Alex Omid-Zohoor, Brian VERMILYEA, Erik HERTER, Tony MORGAN, Steve DIAMOND, Michael CHU, Eran LESHEM

Patent number: 9472968Abstract: A battery is rendered to a consistent discharged state in a two-phase battery discharge operation. In a first of the two discharge phases, a constant discharge current is drawn from the battery until a threshold battery voltage is reached. In the second of the two discharge phases, executed after the threshold battery voltage is reached during the first-phase, a time-varying discharge current is drawn from the battery at a constant battery voltage until a threshold discharge current is reached.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Atieva, Inc.Inventors: Albert Liu, Samuel Yeong-Shi Chang, Wilson Liu, Steve Diamond

Patent number: 8636203Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems in accordance with the present invention allow partial authorization of a financial transaction. In one embodiment, where a balance of a prepaid card is insufficient to cover the entire amount of a transaction, the issuer of the prepaid card transmits over a payment processing system, approval for only the amount remaining on the card. The transaction can then be completed by the purchaser providing an additional sum from another source, such as a credit card. Such automatic partial authorization in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention avoids the delay and cost associated with having to re-execute the transaction for a less than the entire amount.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2006Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Visa U.S.A.

Patent number: 8598847Abstract: A method for balancing voltage for a multi-cell battery system, in which the battery system includes at least two parallel groups of cells connected in series and in which the parallel group of cells includes at least one battery cell, includes: charging the battery system by keeping the voltage of all parallel groups of cells less than or equal to a second threshold voltage value, while at least the voltage of one group of parallel cells is less than or equal to a first threshold voltage; and while at least the voltage of one group of parallel cells is less than or equal to a second threshold voltage; and while the charging current is above a predefined minimal current. The method further includes measuring the voltage of each parallel group of cells while electrical loads are shut off and dissipating energy in each of the parallel group of cells of the amount that is represented by the voltage difference between the individual parallel group of cells and the parallel group of cells with the lowest voltage.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignees: Volkswagen AG, Audi AGInventors: Martin Eberhard, Steve Diamond, Marc Tarpenning, Jessica Riley, Alexander Barke, Manfred Ammler, Reinhard Hofmann
