ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,686,280, issued on July 21, was assigned to Texas Instruments Inc. (Dallas).

"Optimized regenerative braking control of electric motors using look-up tables" was invented by Aravind Samba Murthy (Atlanta) and David Patrick Magee (Allen, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A regenerative braking controller for an AC motor. To determine an electromagnetic torque for slowing or stopping the motor, the regenerative braking controller accesses a lookup table to retrieve a braking torque value corresponding to a current estimate of rotor velocity. The retrieved braking torque may correspond to a maximum or minimum torque level at which regene...
