  • Publication number: 20240396487
    Abstract: An electric motor drive system in a vehicle comprises: a three-leg inverter for driving the electric motor in the vehicle and a fourth leg connected in parallel with the three-leg inverter. The fourth leg comprises a positive temperature coefficient resistor connected in series with a switch. The electric motor drive system further comprises a control unit configured to switch on the switch in the fourth leg for a period of time ts during a regenerative mode of the electric motor such that the PTC resistor is switched in a path of short circuit current flowing through any of the switch transistors in the three-leg inverter to reduce the peak short circuit current generated from the electric motor during the regenerative mode.

  • Publication number: 20240372905
    Abstract: A cloud-based method and system for autonomously providing collaborative communication events to one or more users of client devices. The method and system are configured to analyze an active user communication for the purposes of determining, predicting, presenting, and/or triggering collaboration opportunities (e.g., later communication sessions or events) automatically or for manual selection by the active user. The analysis is performed in the context of a specific user communication and is completed with support from cloud-based communication services, data, and workflows.

  • Patent number: 12004667
    Abstract: A stemware retention device for preventing tipping of stemware includes a first plate, which is substantially planar. Each slot of a set of slots extends into the first plate from its perimeter. A spacing element, which is attached to and which extends from a lower face of the first plate, supports the first plate above a substantially horizontal surface, such as a tabletop. A plurality of panels is attached to from the first plate's lower face so that each slot is bracketed by a pair of panels. Each panel extends from the first plate to proximate to the substantially horizontal surface. The panels are resiliently flexible so that each pair of panels can engage a base of an article of stemware as its stem is inserted into a respective slot. Thus, tipping of the article of stemware relative to the substantially horizontal surface is inhibited.
