  • Publication number: 20200059180
    Abstract: A control system for an electric motor comprises a controller which receives as an input a demanded motor current and produces at an output an intermediate voltage demand signal, a voltage demand signal correction means arranged to generate a voltage demand correction signal, and a combining means arranged to combine the intermediate voltage demand signal and the voltage demand correction signal to produce an actual voltage demand signal that is applied to the motor by pulse width modulation of the switches of a motor bridge driver. The correction signal compensates for unwanted non-linearities caused by interlock delays in the switching of the motor bridge switches.

  • Publication number: 20200044595
    Abstract: A motor apparatus comprises a permanent magnet synchronous motor circuit having a plurality of lanes, each lane comprising a plurality of unbalanced phases. A current demand circuit which receives a torque demand signal having a value equal to the torque that is to be generated by the motor apparatus and generates a respective current demand signal for each lane indicative of the current to be applied to each phase of the lane to achieve the demanded torque. A first drive circuit and a second drive circuit each comprise a plurality of switches which selectively connect the phases of a respective one of the plurality of lanes to a supply such that PWM modulated currents flow in each of the phases that correspond to the demanded current. The current demand circuit is adapted to modify one or both of the current demand signals such that one or both lanes additionally generate a set of radial forces that are applied to the rotor of the motor that do not net to zero.

  • Publication number: 20200029625
    Abstract: Dual coil vaporizer inhalation cartridge for high viscosity oil or resin is a specially designed vapor cartridge that includes a second independent heating coil in the oil tank or tank chamber that heats the inhalation oil or resin to reduce its viscosity prior to entering the vaporization chamber where it is vaporized for inhalation. Dual coil vaporizer inhalation cartridge for high viscosity oil or resin uses special electronics to power and control the tank heating coil with the battery and battery switch on a standard battery module for a vaporizer inhalation device, which also powers and controls the vaporization heating coil. The tank heating coil functions to heat and melt the oil/resin or otherwise lower its viscosity to allow the oil/resin to become more thin and runny so that the material may flow more easily through the wick and its capillary action to be successfully transferred to the atomizer heating coil for vaporization.

  • Patent number: 10365125
    Abstract: A rotary encoder assembly comprises an annular track comprising an alternating pattern of at least two different encoding regions; a first detector and a second detector each arranged to produce a respective alternating output signal as the track of encoding regions rotates about its axis past the detector, the combined values of the two output signals assuming a plurality of unique states with the states changing from one to another as the encoder rotates. A memory stores compensation values, each value being associated with a respective one of the possible state changes that can occur when the combined values of the two output signals change upon movement of the encoder track, and each indicative of an average error in the position at which the corresponding change of state occurs.

  • Publication number: 20190228422
    Abstract: An interactive algorithm and sequential methodology dynamically that pulls numerous organic data sets from online social, search, sentiment and paid media sources against a weighted formulation to determine with statistical significance a brand's market performance and characterization defined as a “Brand Attraction Score” in real time against key competitors. Consumer and media behaviors are measured using billions of data signals from multiple API sources distributed downstream through a series of influence (I) and exposure (E) weighted formulations to a master algorithm to determine the net performance and attraction scores and ranking. These statistical sets are then conformed into a series of scores and rankings in a predetermined competitive set in an Exposure to Attraction coordinate system, thereby allowing a Brand to easily visualize their comparative Attraction among their competitor brands.
