  • Patent number: 11263664
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods transform user search keywords into equivalent keyword formats commonly used and/or found within messaging platforms, and compile a data set from such information from which a search for content can be based. The present disclosure, therefore, provides systems and methods that augment users' search terms with terms found in users' mailboxes for purposes of searching for, identifying and communicating content that is relevant to those users.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7518324
    Abstract: Moderately accurate closed loop speed control of a universal motor is attained without the need for any type of speed sensor. Motor armature (across the brushes) voltage is sensed and supplied to a control circuit for processing along with sensed motor current and zero-crossing information. Integration of the motor armature voltage provides a value which is related to current motor speed. By adjusting the gating angle for triac actuation, the armature voltage integral can be maintained at a desired value associated with a desired motor speed. The sensed motor current is also integrated to provide a speed droop compensation value that is added to the desired value, and the gating angle for triac actuation is adjusted to move the armature voltage integral value to approach the summed value of the speed droop compensation value and desired value.
