| 20090108788 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING WINDSHIELD WIPERS - Methods and systems for operating a wiper for removing material impacting a surface of a vehicle are provided. An event indicating that the material has stopped impacting the surface of the vehicle is detected. A first number of wipe cycles are performed with the wiper if movement of the wiper between the detecting of the event and the wiper being moved into a predetermined position is less than a predetermined portion of a wipe cycle of the wiper. A second number of wipe cycles are performed with the wiper if movement of the wiper between the detecting of the event and the wiper being moved into the predetermined position is not less than a predetermined portion of the wipe cycle of the wiper. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100033121 | Blind security - The blind arrangement can be controlled by means of a preprogrammed control device and is powered by a power supply such as for instance a battery. According to the invention, the blind arrangement comprises a timing device, an operating member for opening and closing the blinds and a motor for driving the operating member wherein the operating member is activated at predetermined times to open and close the blinds and a power supply for driving the motor. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20120187882 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF AN ELECTRIC MOTOR - A motor control system for controlling an electronically controlled motor based at least partially on a signal from a motor timer is described. The system includes a motor controller coupled to the electronically controlled motor and configured to drive the electronically controlled motor and a control device coupled to the motor controller. The control device is configured to provide the motor controller with a first speed control signal corresponding to a first speed in response to a start signal from the motor timer, monitor a first length of time the first speed control signal is provided to the motor controller, and provide the motor controller with a second speed control signal corresponding to a second speed after a first predefined length of time. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20130049664 | Method of Automatically Controlling a Motorized Window Treatment While Minimizing Occupant Distractions - A load control system provides for automatically controlling a position of a motorized window treatment to control the amount of sunlight entering a space of a building through a window located in a façade of the building in order to control a sunlight penetration distance within the space and minimize occupant distractions. The load control system automatically generates a timeclock schedule having a number of timeclock events for controlling the position of the motorized window treatment during the present day. A user is able to select a desired maximum sunlight penetration distance for the space and a minimum time period that may occur between any two consecutive timeclock events. In addition, a maximum number of movements that may occur during the timeclock schedule may also be entered. The load control system uses these inputs to determine event times and corresponding positions of the motorized window treatment for each timeclock event. | 02-28-2013 |
| 20130099715 | APPARATUS FOR OPENING AND/OR CLOSING A DOOR - An apparatus for opening and/or closing a door of a domestic appliance, such as, for example, an oven, a refrigerator and the like, has a drive apparatus for the automatic opening and/or closing of the door and an actuating device which is operable by a user for activating the drive apparatus in order to open or to close the door. | 04-25-2013 |
| 20130241457 | DELAY CIRCUIT, FAN ASSEMBLY, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE DELAY CIRCUIT - A delay circuit for a fan includes a signal generation circuit, a first switch, a delay microchip, and a second switch. The signal generation circuit receives a driving signal and generates a control signal according to the driving signal. The first switch is electronically connected to the signal generation circuit to receive the control signal. The second switch is electronically connected between the delay microchip and the fan. When the signal generation circuit is electronically connected to the fan via the first switch, the control signal is transmitted to the fan to activate the fan. When the signal generation circuit is electronically connected to the delay microchip, the delay microchip receives the control signal and outputs a delayed control signal after a predetermined delay time, and the delayed control signal is transmitted to the fan via the second switch to activate the fan. | 09-19-2013 |
| 20140062374 | MOTOR DRIVING DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - There are provided a motor driving device and a method of controlling the same. The motor driving device includes a controlling unit; a plurality of unit circuits provided within the controlling unit and controlling driving of a motor; and a time slice controller provided within the controlling unit and periodically generating a wake-up signal, wherein some unit circuits among the plurality of unit circuits are operated for a certain operation time upon receiving the wake-up signal, thereby allowing for effective power consumption of the motor. | 03-06-2014 |
