  • Patent number: 11476774
    Abstract: Disclosed are a control method and control system for a modular multilevel converter and a power transmission system. The control method comprises: calculating an actual capacitor voltage and a reference capacitor voltage of the sub-module; dividing the plurality of sub-modules into a plurality of modules, wherein reference capacitor voltages of the sub-modules in the same module are the same, and reference capacitor voltages of the sub-modules among different modules are different; obtaining a first voltage sequence and a second voltage sequence; and determining the sub-modules to be switched on or switched off according to charging and discharging states of the sub-modules, the first voltage sequence and the second voltage sequence, until an actual level of the bridge arm is consistent with a desired level, wherein the desired level changes taking an insert value selected from a combination of one or more elements in a collection {INTERk} as a step.

  • Patent number: 11425073
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for reducing unwanted messages or spam within a real-time social networking service. According to certain aspects, a synchronous analysis module may operate in coordination with an asynchronous analysis module. Each of the synchronous analysis module and the asynchronous analysis module analyzes an incoming message from a user account to determine whether the incoming message has characteristics of spam, whereby the synchronous analysis is at a lower latency than the asynchronous analysis. The asynchronous analysis is afforded the ability to identify certain spam characteristics that the synchronous analysis may identify during its lower latency analysis.

  • Patent number: 9130997
    Abstract: Behavior of an online system is modified dynamically using feature expressions and feature loops. A feature expression can be expressed as a combination of other features or feature expressions, thereby allowing specification of complex features. The sets of feature expressions and policies of an online system can be modified while the online system is running. Feature loops aggregate values of a feature expression across a plurality of actions, for example, number of occurrences of an event over a time interval. The online system evaluates a set of feature expressions in response to actions performed by users. Feature expressions are used to specify policies that determine how the online system reacts to certain types of user actions. The ability to dynamically modify the feature expressions and policies of the online system allows the online system to adapt to attacks by malicious users in a timely manner.
