  • Publication number: 20210328530
    Abstract: A system is for a machine having an alternating current (AC) power source with a first side and a second side, one or more windings, an AC polarity detector, a Hall effect device, two or more pairs of power switches, and a motor controller. The motor controller determines which of the power switches to open or close to obtain a direction of current flow through the one or more windings based on signals from the AC polarity detector and the Hall effect device.

  • Publication number: 20210167776
    Abstract: A system and method for high speed switching comprises receiving voltage inputs at a bridge rectifier, generating a control signal from a transistor, and driving a gate of a field effect transistor (FET) via the control signal of the transistor, wherein a source of the FET is connected to a negative output of the bridge rectifier and a drain of the FET is connected to a positive output of the bridge rectifier through a load. The system and method further comprises limiting current flowing to the gate of the FET through first and second resistors and first and second diodes connecting the voltage inputs to the gate of the FET and limiting voltage to the gate of the FET below a maximum voltage rating of the FET by a Zener diode connected to the gate of the FET.

  • Patent number: 10960315
    Abstract: A computing system may determine values associated with a plurality of identifiers that are associated with a gameplay session of a video gaming application. The computing system may determine a mapping of the values associated with the plurality of identifiers, including associating, for each identifier, each value associated with the respective identifier during a time period of the gameplay session with values that are associated with a respective one or more other identifiers from the plurality of identifiers during at least a portion of the time period of the gameplay session. The computing system may, in response to receiving a query that indicates a value associated with an identifier from the plurality of identifiers, providing values associated with one or more identifiers that are associated with the value associated with the identifier based at least in part on the mapping of the values associated with the plurality of identifiers.

  • Patent number: 10949325
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include a system that is capable of processing test data across multiple sessions of a video game. In some cases, the tests are performed over multiple video games that share a game engine. The generated test data may be analyzed as the test is being performed and key performance indicators may be extracted from the test data reducing the test data by at least an order of magnitude. Further, the extracted key performance indicators are used to automatically conduct further testing, such as regression testing, based on an analysis of the key performance indicators with respect to trend data generated from prior tests of the video game or of a shared game engine used by multiple video games.

  • Patent number: 10924110
    Abstract: A method for high speed switching comprises receiving voltage inputs at a bridge rectifier, receiving a logic input signal at an optical isolator and generating an output signal from the optical isolator based on the logic input signal, and driving a gate of a field effect transistor (FET) via the output signal of the optical isolator, wherein a source of the FET is connected to a negative output of the bridge rectifier and a drain of the FET is connected to a positive output of the bridge rectifier through a load. The method further includes limiting current flowing to the gate of the FET through first and second resistors and first and second diodes connecting the voltage inputs to the gate of the FET and limiting voltage to the gate of the FET below a maximum voltage rating of the FET by a Zener diode connected to the gate of the FET.

  • Publication number: 20200355060
    Abstract: According to one aspect, data identifying a component is received, wherein the component is part of a system associated with a wellhead. A location at which the component is positioned relative to one or more other components is identified. The useful remaining operational life of the component is predicted based on at least an operational parameter specific to the location, and the operational history of the component or one or more components equivalent thereto. According to another aspect, a model representing at least a portion of a proposed system associated with a wellhead is generated, the model comprising a plurality of objects, each of which has a proposed location and represents an existing component. The useful remaining operational life for each object is predicted based on an operational parameter at the corresponding proposed location, and data associated with the respective operational history of the existing component.
