Patent number: 10516353Abstract: A motor calibration system and method for a motor having a rotor, a stator, and at least one phase. The system further comprises a controller and a position detector adapted to detect a position of the rotor with respect to the stator. Wherein the controller is adapted to perform a calibration sequence to calibrate to motor by driving at least one motor phase with a motor control signal at a predetermined maximum amplitude value in a first direction with substantially no load applied on the motor, receiving a feedback signal from the at least one position detector, and determining a first calibration angle shift by measuring a difference between at least the motor control signal and the feedback signal of the at least one motor phase. The controller accounts for the first calibration angle shift when driving the motor in the first direction during normal operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Crestron Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Luis Rivera, Michael Campagna, Benjamin Slivka

Publication number: 20190122460Abstract: A license plate frame includes an electronic device and a camera, such that the camera can capture images in front of or behind a vehicle. The electronic device determines that a collision has occurred between the vehicle with the license plate frame and another vehicle using motion detectors, accelerometer, camera, or other device/sensor. The camera captures video or images of the other vehicle, including the license plate of the other vehicle. In this way, if an owner of a vehicle is not present when a collision occurs (e.g., the car is parked on a street), the owner can determine information about a vehicle that caused the collision. That information may also be utilized to file police reports, submit insurance claims, and generate leads for vehicle repair. The license plate frame also includes a locking mechanism to ensure that only an authorized party can remove the license plate frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Inventors: Joel Reyes, Luis Rivera

Patent number: 9970234Abstract: A motorized roller shade that detects obstacles in its travel that create excess torque by sensing the current draw from a motor and method by which the motor can calibrate itself to detect excess torque. During the roller shade's travel, it will record the instantaneous torque being generated at various points. For example, it will store the greatest value in the shade motor's non-volatile memory as the normal operating torque.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Crestron Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Charles R.
