  • Publication number: 20230319552
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for transferring application data. In one aspect, a method includes causing, by a first component on a first device to establish a wireless connection with a second device; receiving, from a second component on the second device, data specifying one or more applications that are installed on the second device and supported by the second component, each of the applications being separate from the second component; determining, by the first component, that a first application installed on the first device corresponds to one of the applications installed on the second device, the first application being separate from the first component; receiving, by the first component, first application data from the first application; and causing, by the first component, the first device to send the first application data to the second component running on the second device using the wireless connection.

  • Publication number: 20170322923
    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can include obtaining a vector-based language model associating elements of an unlabeled corpus that have similar meanings, training a machine-learning classifier using the vector-based language model and a labeled corpus of text that has been annotated as having a particular level of abusiveness, obtaining a text, determining a prediction for the text using the machine-learning classifier, the prediction being indicative of a level of abusiveness of the text, and based on the level of abusiveness of the text, selectively outputting a recommended action with respect to the text.

  • Patent number: 7005833
    Abstract: A generator controller (4) is provided which is able to detect and respond to failure of a generator output voltage sensor, whilst being able to distinguish voltage sensor failure from output voltage collapse due to the presence of an overload or short circuit condition. The presence of a voltage sensor failure is indicated by the measured output voltage being below a first voltage threshold whilst the output current is also below a current threshold.

  • Patent number: 6677685
    Abstract: A clamp pressure controller for a variable ratio belt drive system for a generator is provided. The controller monitors the voltage at the output of the generator. If this falls the controller increases the clamp pressure so as to prepare the drive system for the additional torque/force it will be required to transmit. The increase in clamp pressure is rapid so as to prevent belt slip from occurring.

  • Patent number: 6569821
    Abstract: An overbased metal detergent having friction-modifying properties comprises colloidal inorganic base particles stably dispersed in an oil of lubricating viscosity. The colloidal particles constitute from 15 to 40 mass % of the detergent, and a stabilizing system constitutes from 20 to 45 mass % thereof, the balance being the oil of lubricating viscosity. The stabilizing system is the mixture obtained by combining an oil-soluble detergent component and from 25 to 75 mass % of an aliphatic amide having from 10 to 30 carbon atoms.

  • Patent number: 6486640
    Abstract: Disclosed is a control system for a variable frequency generator including a main stator winding for providing a generator output, excited by a main rotor winding, and a main exciter rotor winding for energizing the main rotor winding, excited by a main exciter field winding. The control system includes: a plurality of inputs adapted to receive respective signals corresponding to respective generator operating parameters; an output adapted to drive the main exciter field winding; and a plurality of negative feedback loops between the output and the inputs. Each loop includes a respective stability compensation network operable to process a feedback signal corresponding to one of the generator operating parameters.
