Patent number: 9819288Abstract: A motor drive system configured to detect and prevent undesired movement of an item that is configured to be driven by the motor drive system. The motor drive system having: an electronic control unit operatively coupled to a rotor of the motor drive system, the electronic control unit being configured to detect undesired rotation of a shaft of the rotor, wherein the undesired rotation of the shaft is not caused by a force applied by the rotor; and wherein the electronic control unit of the motor drive system is configured to short windings of the motor drive system after a predetermined amount of undesired rotation of the shaft is detected by the electronic control unit such that further rotation of the rotor is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2016Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: INTEVA PRODUCTS FRANCE SASInventor: Stéphane Barbier

Patent number: 7916854Abstract: A method of controlling a local process that forms part of a first processing entity, where the first processing entity maintains a plurality of associations with a plurality of remote processes in a second processing entity, comprises receiving a failure message from a remote process indicating a fault affecting an association linking the local process with that remote process; queueing data messages destined for that remote process; controlling the transmission of an acknowledgement of the failure message so that data messages pending on the association are received at that remote process before the acknowledgment of the failure message; and initiating a traffic diversion to set up an alternate path between the first processing entity and the second processing entity for queued data messages.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2004Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development CompanyInventors: Marc Lamberton, Stephane Barbier, Didier Desiderio

Publication number: 20040264671Abstract: A method of controlling a local process that forms part of a first processing entity such as a signalling gateway, said first processing entity maintaining a plurality of associations with a plurality of remote processes in a second processing entity such as a application server. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a failure message from a remote process indicating a fault affecting an association linking the local process with that remote process; queueing data messages destined for that remote process; controlling the transmission of an acknowledgement of the failure message so that data messages pending on the association are received at that remote process before the acknowledgment of the failure message; and initiating a traffic diversion to set up an alternate path between said first processing entity and said second processing entity for queued data messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2004Publication date: December 30, 2004Inventors: Marc Lamberton, Stephane Barbier, Didier Desiderio
