Abstract: A motor control apparatus receives a DC power source through a DC terminal and is coupled to a motor. The motor control apparatus includes a brake, an inverter, and a controller. The brake is coupled to the inverter. The brake includes an energy-consuming component and a switch component. The controller controls the inverter to convert the DC power source to drive the motor. When the controller determines that the DC power source is interrupted, the controller stops controlling the inverter, and the switch component is self-driven turned on so that a back electromotive force generated by the motor is consumed through the energy-consuming component.

Abstract: Disease prediction using analyte measurements and machine learning is described. In one or more implementations, a combination of features of analyte measurements may be selected from a plurality of features of the analyte measurements based on a robustness metric and a performance metric of the combination, and a machine learning model may be trained to predict a health condition classification using the combination. The performance metric may be associated with an accuracy of predicting the health condition classification, and the robustness metric may be associated with an insensitivity to analyte sensor manufacturing variabilities on the accuracy. Once trained, the machine learning model predicts the health condition classification for a user based on analyte measurements of the user collected by a wearable analyte monitoring device. The combination of features may be extracted from the analyte measurements of the user and input into the machine learning model to predict the classification.

Abstract: Methods and systems of indoor positioning of a user and delivery of information thereto are described. A system may include a communication device and a plurality of networked devices. The communication device may receive incoming information which is intended for receipt by a user, and transmit a request signal responsive to the receiving of the incoming information. Each of the networked devices may receive the request signal, and determine which one of the networked devices is situated to notify the user of the incoming information. The networked device situated to notify the user may proceed to notify the user of the incoming information.

Abstract: An operating method for controlling a wearable electronic device is provided. The operating method obtains an environmental variable (which is indicative of the current environment) and determines an appearance variable (e.g., a user's favorite color) based on the environment variable, by referring to information about different appearances predetermined to be suitable for different environmental conditions. The operating method also generates a control signal for adjusting the appearance of at least one non-panel region of the wearable electronic device based on the appearance variable. This causes the adjusted appearance of the non-panel region of the wearable electronic device to change based on the current environment.
