Publication number: 20240014760Abstract: An electric motor for a pump includes an AC line-in node for receiving AC power supplied to the electric motor. The electric motor includes a current sensor coupled to the AC line-in node and measures current supplied to the electric motor. The electric motor includes a motor controller configured to convert the AC power supplied to a variable frequency variable voltage power for driving the electric motor at a normal output value. The motor controller includes a microcontroller and an inverter. The microcontroller is coupled to the current sensor and receives a measured value of the current supplied to the electric motor, determines the measured value is above a threshold, and transmits a control signal representing a reduced output value. The inverter receives the control signal and generates the variable frequency variable voltage power to reduce output from the electric motor according to the reduced output value.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2022Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Justin Michael Magyar, Howard Richardson, Nathan Eric Snell

Patent number: 10165822Abstract: The invention is an article of footwear incorporating insulation material, such as a low bulk insulation material, to provide warmth in cold weather, yet with the style, agility, and breathability of a typical conventional shoe or boot. Additionally, in a further embodiment, the invention includes these features in a shoe or boot which is also waterproof and breathable. These aspects of the present invention are achieved through a placement, or mapping, of low bulk insulation to maximize the footwear article attributes of warmth, style, agility, and breathability.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignees: W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., W. L. Gore & Associati, S.r.l.Inventors: Michael Magyar, Leslie Rikleen, Eric O'Bryan, Andrea Giupponi
