Publication number: 20070250295Abstract: A computer-enabled system and related method to perform multi-dimensional modeling. The system includes a model building function, a data link function, a dependency inspector function and a presentation function. The system unlocks the connectivity between model logic, model structure and outcome presentation. Model cells are given understandable names, and the system allows parsing and reorganization of model information without loss of logic, including formulas associated with cell elements. The data link function enables a user to insert into a matrix of the system external information of an array of data types. The dependency inspector function enables a user to quickly and easily identify relationships among cell elements. This capability reduces the time required to detect modeling errors, to audit the model, and/or understand logical relationships embodied in the model.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2006Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: Subx, Inc.Inventors: Peter Murray, Christopher Houle, Michael Salisbury, Brian Cabana

Patent number: 6972533Abstract: A switched reluctance drive, operating either as a motor or a generator, is controlled in a stable manner in the continuous current mode in the presence of supply voltage or electrical load variation. The use of a current control parameter Ix in addition to the conventional on- and off-angles ?on, ?off gives the ability to operate smoothly in the continuous current mode and to transition smoothly between operating modes. Once the phase current reaches a pre-determined level Ix, the phase winding may be placed in a freewheel state, thereby controlling the standing current in the phase winding and/or the output voltage.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2003Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Assignee: Switched Reluctance Drives LimitedInventors: Ian Jordison, Marielle Ghislaine Alberte Piron, Peter Richard Mayes, Peter Murray, Michael James Turner, Michael Leo McClelland
