  • Patent number: 11968271
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sender profile and/or recipient profile disambiguation and/or confirmation are disclosed. In instances where a sender profile is not indicated by a user sending a communication from a communal device, heuristic data may be utilized to infer the sender profile. Similar heuristic data may also be used when selection of the sender profile is associated with a low confidence level. Heuristic data may also be used to infer the recipient profile when the user does not indicate the recipient profile or when selection of the recipient profile is associated with a low confidence. Various confirmations may result from the sender and recipient profile disambiguation.

  • Publication number: 20240097539
    Abstract: A stator winding of a sheet-metal stator for an electric motor. A stator lamination stack of the stator is equipped with an insulating end plate. Stator teeth protruding in the radial direction are wound with a winding wire. After a specified number of stator teeth, the winding wire is guided away from the stator lamination stack and then back to the stator lamination stack, thereby forming an at least U-shaped loop. The loop is then used to contact a motor electronics unit of the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 6795896
    Abstract: A method of reducing power leakage consumption in a processor by shutting off power to the cache memory when the processor is idle. The contents of the cache memory are written to a low leakage memory such as SDRAM or main memory. The power to the cache memory is then cut off and remains off until the occurrence of a system event. While power to the cache memory remains off, the cache memory interface is left operational so that the portion of the cache memory image stored in other memory is marked invalid if the corresponding data in main memory has been modified. Upon the occurrence of the system event the cache memory contents are automatically restored to the cache memory within a specified time.
