  • Publication number: 20250263015
    Abstract: The present disclosure teaches a system for enhancing the visibility and security of wheeled devices. The system may include a mountable housing unit containing a light projection system and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) detection system. The system may further include one or more line projection lights to project lighted line projections onto surfaces that the wheeled devices may be operating on. The light line projections may be placed at distances surrounding the wheeled device which indicate safe passing distances for any other wheeled devices attempting to pass the wheeled device utilizing the system. Additionally, the system may also include one or more sensors that collect sound and noise data for use within the AI detection system.

  • Patent number: 11811345
    Abstract: A converter of a variable frequency drive (VFD) is operated in a ramp-up mode to produce an AC output voltage for accelerating a motor. A loading of the converter is determined concurrent with the ramp-up mode. Transfer of the motor to a bypassed mode is conditioned on whether the determined loading in the ramp-up mode meets a criterion. In some embodiments, conditioning transfer to the bypassed mode comprises foregoing transition to the bypassed mode based on a comparison of the determined loading to an underloading threshold.
