Title: Intelligent air blowing hand dryer
Inventor: XIANFENG WU
IPC: A61L2/10
Filed: 2019-06-03
Abstract: This application provides an intelligent air blowing hand dryer comprising a head part, a backboard, a tail part, a microprocessor, a motor and a laser detector.  The laser detector recognizes external contours of two hands, determines finger gap positions of the two hands, and transmits contour information to the microprocessor.  The microprocessor determines air passages adjacent to the finger gap positions as reinforcing air passages according to the contour information, and controls solenoid valves corresponding to the reinforcing air passages to be switched on to a large opening degree and solenoid valves corresponding to remaining air passages to be switched on to a small opening degree.  The two hands are dried under the joint action of the upper and lower air passages, the air strength and air volume are reinforced at the finger gaps, and the air strength and the air volume are relatively reduced at palms of the hands, thus enabling various parts of the two hands including the finger gaps to be quickly dried, eliminating hidden positions, and making drying more thorough.

Title: Method and apparatus for generating a three-phase voltage
Inventor: SIMON DAVID HART
IPC: H02M7/5395
Filed: 2020-11-20
Abstract: DC ripple voltage in an inverter is reduced by determining a plurality of switching events for each of the three phases in each Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) period. The switching events provide a desired target output voltage for the respective PWM period. From this determination of the switching events, a comparison can be made to determine a first time period (T1) between a first and second switching event across all of the phases, and a second time (T2) period between the second and a third switching event across all of the phases. The timing of one or more switching events in only one of the phases in the respective PWM period is adjusted in response to the determined time period being greater than a threshold in order to reduce the determined first or second time period. The electrical load may comprise an electric motor.
