  • Publication number: 20230149647
    Abstract: A face mask including a base model of a mask body having a front side and a back side and defining an interior. The back side includes a face opening within which a portion of a user face including a nose and mouth can be inserted and encompassed. The face opening is defined by a perimeter and is modified to substantially correspond to contours of the user face based on scan of topographical facial features of the user face.

  • Patent number: 11482955
    Abstract: An assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a synchronous machine including a rotating portion and a stationary portion, the rotating portion including at least one rotating diode coupled to a field winding, and the stationary portion including a stator winding and an exciter winding. A control unit includes a first gate and a second gate. The exciter winding is connected in series to the first gate and the second gate during a first operating mode to energize the exciter winding. The exciter winding is electrically connected in series to a first gate but is electrically disconnected from the second gate in a second, different operating mode to electrically disconnect the exciter winding from an exciter energy source. A method of operating a synchronous machine is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9802718
    Abstract: A duty cycle-based bit interface system includes a first stage voltage converter and second stage voltage converter in signal communication with the first stage voltage converter. The first stage voltage converter converts a digital voltage signal into an analog voltage signal. The second stage voltage converters convert the digital voltage signal into a scaled version of the same. A sampling unit is in signal communication with at least one of the second stage voltage converters, and is configured to sample a portion of the first stage analog output voltage signal during a sampling time period. The sampled portion has a duty cycle based-analog voltage signal during the sampling time period. A bit selector unit is in signal communication with the sampling unit, and outputs a bit enable signal that initiates a specific diagnostic test among a plurality of diagnostic tests based on the duty cycle of the sampled portion.
