  • Publication number: 20180025391
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for vehicle servicing and vehicle value adjustments. Example methods may include receiving vehicle registration information comprising a vehicle identification number for a vehicle, determining a first value for the vehicle, and determining vehicle usage data for the vehicle, the vehicle usage data comprising vehicle driving data and vehicle component status. Methods may include determining a first value adjustment for the vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle usage data, determining maintenance information associated with the vehicle, the maintenance comprising vehicle service record data, determining a second value adjustment for the vehicle based at least in part on the maintenance information, and generating a second value for the vehicle based at least in part on the first value, the first value adjustment, and the second value adjustment.

  • Patent number: 7456525
    Abstract: A packaged power supply device (10) is configured to output multiple supply voltages, which are converted from a single input voltage (VIN). The packaged power supply device may can be configured as a DC/DC converter, which is operable to output each of the output supply voltages in a sequential manner, in accordance's with power up sequencing requirements of a processor-based system. The sequential output supply voltages may include: a fixed core supply voltage, a programmable core supply voltage, an input/output (I/O) supply voltage, and a logic supply voltage. These output supply voltages might be converted from an input voltage VIN, which has a wide continuous operational range (e.g., 14-50 VDC).

  • Patent number: 6650557
    Abstract: An electrical AC-DC power conversion system featuring 18-pulse rectification and utilizing a low weight wye-connected phase shifting autotransformer (500) supplied from a 3-phase AC source (40) through a 3-phase line reactor (41). The current harmonic distortion is less that 5% and can be further reduced to 3% level by the use of additional suppression devices (eg., chokes) which are often required in aerospace applications. The transformer (500) includes three sections (501) each spaced 120° electrically apart, wherein each section (501) includes a main winding (510) and a pair of phase shift windings (540). The main winding (510) has a neutral end connected to a floating neutral point (502) and a source end (514) is connected to one phase (1, 2, 3) of the three-phase power source (40). The pair of phase shift windings (540) each include a second winding (520) and a third winding (530) connected in series and arranged to generate phase outputs (4-9) of the autotransformer (500).

  • Patent number: 6437527
    Abstract: An adjunct device for a garage door opener and closer system containing a microprocessor which automatically closes the garage door after a 45 second delay, and includes three LED's to indicate the door closure, motion detection, and a manual override of the system. The adjunct device has a push button switch which programs the adjunct device to the same infrared frequency as the conventional garage door opener device. The adjunct device also contains a manual override element, an oscillator circuit, a reset circuit, a surge protector circuit, and a voltage regulator circuit.
