  • Patent number: 11016650
    Abstract: A method visualizes data sources. A user selects a data source, and the computer system displays a first data visualization according to placement of data fields in shelves of the user interface. The data visualization comprises visual data marks representing the data source. A user selects some of the data marks. In response, the system displays a metric window including a data metric object preview, a summary of the selected data marks, and setting controls. The user provides input to create the data metric object. In response, the system creates the data metric object, including: configuration parameters derived from the first data visualization; an initial extract from the data source according to the configuration parameters; and a schedule for recurring retrieval of data from the data source to update the extract. The system then displays a second data visualization according to the configuration parameters and the extract.

  • Publication number: 20210152112
    Abstract: Technical solutions are described for controlling operation of an electric machine such as a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive or motor control system to limit battery current and protect a battery from excessive discharging or charging current from the PMSM drive. Systems and methods employ a torque control algorithm for PMSMs that uses a battery current limit constraint when generating current commands during each of a maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) operation, and maximum torque per voltage (MTPV) operation. Torque search operations are performed in each of the MTPA and MTPV operation regions in a PMSM drive system until current commands are achieved under a given battery current limit constraint and while maintaining maximum voltage utilization throughout all PMSM operation regions.

  • Publication number: 20210083615
    Abstract: Technical solutions are described for controlling operation of a multiphase electric machine using a signal generator configured to generate n number of duty cycle signals of a combination pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme comprising of a continuous PWM scheme and a noncontinuous PWM scheme, with n being an integer greater than 3. A blending coefficient value determines relative weights of each of the continuous and noncontinuous PWM schemes in forming the combination PWM scheme. A blending function determines relative weights of each of the continuous PWM scheme and the noncontinuous PWM scheme used to generate the duty cycle signals. The bending function is calculated piecewise based on a difference between the blending coefficient value and two threshold values. The signal generator uses each of the duty cycle signals to control switching of a DC power to a corresponding phase of the multiphase electric machine.
