Title: GPS receiver
Inventor: SAGIRAJU PHANIKRISHNA
IPC: G01S19/23
Filed: 2013-02-04
Abstract: Acquisition channel results from a number of satellites achieve composite weak acquisition. An initial estimate of the position of the receiver is used to adjust the acquisition channels (e.g. the tap that is used) and hence to allow an improved estimate of GPS time and position. Satellite orbital motion (assumed linear over measurement timescales) is allowed for. If several satellites are at the same azimuth, one is selected. Frame sync can be obtained without data demodulation or preamble matching.

Title: Ball deflecting chamfer
Inventor: PUTNEY GORDON A
IPC: F16C33/58
Filed: 2014-05-01
Abstract: A cam shaft 135 is disclosed having an asymmetric chamfer (205 fig. 4) for guiding a ball bearing 175 deeper into a cam shaft groove 150 to avoid ball loss when an immediate deceleration force is applied. The chamfer spaces the ball from an opening in the front face of a hammer 180 that moves axially relative to the cam shaft when a tool having the cam shaft and hammer is dropped. The ball is therefore less likely to escape through the front opening of the hammer when the impact wrench is dropped. The cam shaft groove consists of a plurality of groove portions that extend at angle relative to the axial direction of the cam shaft and intersect at a vertex, wherein the chamfer portion may be defined within only one of the groove portions.

Title: Controls and operation of variable frequency drives
Inventor: WEST NATHAN THOMAS
IPC: F04C28/28
Filed: 2014-03-11
Abstract: Unique apparatuses, methods, and systems of opposing, limiting, and/ or preventing undesired or un-commanded compressor rotation are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an HVACR system comprising a variable frequency drive configured to drive an electric motor to rotate a screw compressor or scroll compressor. A controller is configured to monitor various aspects of the system and to control the drive. When a condition indicative of potential undesired or un-commanded compressor rotation is identified, the controller commands the variable frequency drive to control the motor to limit and preferably prevent compressor rotation. One technique comprises shorting switches of the drive to a DC bus rail to allow back EMF induced current in the motor windings to be dissipated through winding resistance thus providing a damping force. Another technique comprises controlling the inverter to insert a DC current into the motor to cause the motor to align to and hold a particular position.
