  • Patent number: 11962140
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to coordinate protective elements in an electric power system (EPS). In one embodiment, a system may include a Time vs Normalized Impedance Length subsystem to determine a first plurality of times of operation of a first protective element for a plurality of fault locations in the EPS and to determine a second plurality of times of operation of a second protective element for the plurality of fault locations in the EPS. A protective action subsystem may coordinate a response of the first protective element and the second protective element. The protective action subsystem may establish a pickup and a protective action for the second protective element. Upon detection of a fault in the EPS, one of the first protective action and the second protective action may be implemented based on one of the first pickup and the second pickup.

  • Patent number: 11777378
    Abstract: A motor apparatus includes a multi-lane permanent magnet synchronous motor having at least two sets of phase windings, and a control circuit. The control circuit selectively connects a first direct current power source to the motor phase windings of a first set of the motor phasing windings to form a first lane. The control circuit may also selectively connect a second direct current power source to the motor phase windings of a second set of the motor phasing windings to form a second lane. The control circuit may cause current to flow in the motor that meets a current demand from a current demand circuit. During at least one mode of operation, the control circuit may apply waveforms to a motor phase winding which causes an actively controlled transfer of energy from the first direct current source of the first lane into a component of the second lane.

  • Publication number: 20230252535
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may identify one or more account identifiers associated with a user identifier. Each account identifier may be associated with one or more categories each representing a type of interaction of one or more interactions associated with the account identifier. A respective interaction amount may be associated with each interaction. The system may determine, for each category, a total category amount that is a sum of interaction amounts for interactions in a particular category occurring within a particular time frame. The system may transmit user interface (UI) data associated with a multi-tab UI element including a plurality of tabs corresponding to the plurality of categories. Each tab may be associated with benefits information related to a category corresponding to that tab. A first tab, corresponding to a category having a highest total category amount, may be presented in a particular position in the multi-tab UI element.

  • Publication number: 20220252392
    Abstract: 3D metrology techniques are disclosed for determining a changing topography of a substrate processed in an additive manufacturing system. Techniques include fringe scanning, simultaneous fringe projections, interferometry, and x-ray imaging. The techniques can be applied to 3D printing systems to enable rapid topographical measurements of a 3D printer powder bed, or other rapidly moving, nearly continuous surface to be tested. The techniques act in parallel to the system being measured to provide information about system operation and the topography of the product being processed. A tool is provided for achieving higher precision, increasing throughput, and reducing the cost of operation through early detection and diagnosis of operating problems and printing defects. These techniques work well with any powder bed 3D printing system, providing real-time metrology of the powder bed, the most recently printed layer, or both without reducing throughput.
