Abstract: A vehicle high-voltage charging system includes: an inverter connected to a rechargeable battery; a motor connected to the inverter and configured to supply power, which is provided to a neutral point of the motor, to the inverter; a first relay having one end connected to the charging power input terminal and an opposite end; a neutral point capacitor arranged on a by-pass path, wherein a first end of the by-pass path is connected to the neutral point and a charging power input terminal to which DC charging power is adapted to input, and a second end of the by-pass path is connected to the rechargeable battery and the opposite end of the opposite end of the first relay; characterized in that the charging system further comprises a second relay, wherein the in series second relay arranged in the by-pass path and with the neutral point capacitor.

Abstract: A magnetic recording slider test system includes a host to collect test results and initiate concurrent testing of a plurality of magnetic recording sliders. Each of a plurality of first processing units is configured to test at least one element of a respective magnetic recording slider. In one aspect, the plurality of first processing units concurrently tests at least one element of respective magnetic recording sliders. In another aspect, a plurality of first signals is analyzed at respective first processing units, with each of the first signals representing a Direct Current (DC) output from one or more elements of a magnetic recording slider. Results determined from analyzing the first signals are sent to the host. In another aspect, a plurality of second processing units is configured to analyze second signals that each represent an Alternating Current (AC) output from one or more elements of the plurality of magnetic recording sliders.

Abstract: One example includes a light-emitting diode (LED) system. The LED system includes an LED array comprising a plurality of LEDs that are each activated to provide an LED current therethrough to provide illumination in one of a plurality of colors. The LED system also includes an LED controller configured to activate the plurality of LEDs based on a digital input comprising grayscale data corresponding to activation of the plurality of LEDs and further comprising compensation time data corresponding to an activation pulse-width of each of the plurality of LEDs based on a respective one of the plurality of colors of the respective each one of the plurality of LEDs to maintain a substantially equal activation time of the plurality of LEDs.

Abstract: The patient device, designed for use by patients of reduced cognitive or physical ability, integrates with the network-based portal, designed for use by family members or nursing staff to customize the user experience of the patient. Using the portal the family member pushes user interface customizations as well as content and applications to be run on the patient device. The family member can also control the patient device remotely via the portal. The patient device collects usage data on the set of customizable interface components, and on the pushed content and applications. These data are sent as feedback to the portal, allowing the portal to show the family member which user interface features, content and applications are being used and which are not. Aggregate data collected via the portal generate ranking metrics used to aid in user interface feature selection.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes forming a plurality of time/voltage points from a number of voltage values and from a number of time values, generating serialized data having a predetermined number of bits, comparing the serialized data to a set predetermined voltage to produce analysis data, and capturing the analysis data at a respective time data point of a plurality of time data points. The method may be implemented as part of integrated circuits, electronic assemblies, or systems.

Abstract: A Simulated Custom Wheel suitable for vehicles having elongated studs, that can be removed and inserted without removing the wheel from the axle or requiring the insertion of a ring or plate between the lug nuts and wheel of the vehicle. The decorative wheel cover having a central cut out to clear the lug bolts, is placed against the wheel but not attached. A retainer ring having sufficient openings to clear the number of lugs but not the lug nuts themselves is placed over the wheel lugs and against the lug nuts. The retainer ring and the wheel cover are connected together to form a unitary structure. At least three new nuts are placed on selected wheel lugs extending through the openings on the retainer ring and tightened. A center wheel cover having simulated lugs and lug nuts to match the wheel is placed over the retainer ring and attached to the ring to form a complete wheel cover without the necessity of removing the lug nuts holding the wheel to the vehicle.

Abstract: A Simulated Custom Wheel suitable for automotive wheels or truck wheels is described and which is suitable for use on either Ford wheels of General Motor wheels. A unique retainer ring is placed against a decorative cover which is placed adjacent to the wheel. The ring has a flanged rim on the periphery which defines a shoulder portion. The flanged rim is positioned so as to point away from the wheel, and the lug nuts are assembled in the conventional fashion for the Ford wheels. The General Motor wheels use a solid retainer plate against the retainer ring. A universal center hub also having a flanged rim on the periphery defining a shoulder portion is adapted to frictionally engage the shoulder portion on the retainer ring whereby the center hub is supported and held only by the frictional relationship existing between the shoulder on the retaining ring and the shoulder portion on the center hub.
