Abstract: Motorized thread tensioner for a sewing machine. In one example embodiment, a motorized thread tensioner for a sewing machine may include a first disk, a second disk, a spring, a shaft having threads on a distal end, a nut threaded onto the threads of the shaft, and an electric motor. The shaft may be through the first disk, the second disk, and the spring. The electric motor may be coupled to the nut and configured to rotate the nut in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction that is opposite to the first rotational direction. The rotation of the nut in the first rotational direction may cause the shaft to travel toward the electric motor. The rotation of the nut in the second rotational direction may cause the shaft to travel away from the electric motor.

Abstract: Graphical user interface virtual control for a controller of a motor. In one example embodiment, one or more non-transitory computer-readable media store one or more programs that are configured, when executed, to cause one or more processors to generate and visually present a graphical user interface (GUI) virtual handwheel for a controller of a motor. In this example embodiment, the GUI virtual handwheel includes a depiction of a circular physical handwheel that includes a side and a fully-depicted front face and that is oriented with a perspective orientation where a vertical dimension of the depiction is greater than a horizontal dimension of the depiction. The depiction is configured, upon receipt of a first input from a user, to send a first electronic signal to the controller of the motor to cause the motor to cause a first effect that corresponds to physically rotating the physical handwheel in a first rotational direction.

In this example embodiment, the GUI virtual handwheel includes a depiction of a physical handwheel that is oriented with a perspective orientation. The depiction of the physical handwheel is configured, upon receipt of a first input from a user along the length of the depiction in a first direction, to send a first electronic signal to the controller of the motor to cause the motor to cause a first effect that corresponds to physically rotating the physical handwheel in a first rotational direction that corresponds to the first direction.
