Latest Patents
One of Moyer's latest patents is titled "Persistent configuration in a multiple processor repairable system." This invention describes a control system that includes a host computer and one or more control computers connected to an interface for managing processes or machinery. The control computers are designed to automatically initiate network address assignment and configuration upon being powered up after installation. The network address is determined based on a location identifier situated in the interface, which corresponds to a specific connection to the control computer. This innovative approach allows for seamless configuration of newly installed control computers, whether they are being installed for the first time or replacing a failed unit.
Another significant patent by Moyer is the "Method and system for automatic determination of inductance." This invention presents a method for determining the inductance value of an inductive element. The process involves energizing the inductive element using an N-pulse AC to DC converter in communication with the inductive element and an AC source. The method includes measuring the inductive element's voltage and current values at periodic intervals, as well as calculating the inductance value based on these measurements and the AC source frequency.
