  • Publication number: 20200389113
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a method for closed loop phase tracking comprised of determining a first estimated resonant frequency, generating a motor drive signal at the first estimated resonant frequency and applying the motor drive signal to a motor, measuring current and voltage of the motor drive signal, and filtering the measurements of current and voltage of the motor drive signal. The phase difference between the filtered current and voltage waveforms is measured and a second estimated resonant frequency is calculated. The generated motor drive frequency is adjusted to equal the second estimated resonant frequency.

  • Patent number: 10013859
    Abstract: Disclosed examples include methods and circuits to drive a haptic actuator, in which a single input signal from a host device has a first state representing a command to drive the actuator and a second state representing a command to stop the actuator. A control circuit provides a drive control signal to a driver circuit to drive the haptic actuator in response to the control signal transitioning to the first state, and to stop the haptic actuator in response to the control signal transitioning to the second state. A timer circuit places the circuit in a low power mode a predetermined time after the control signal transitions to the second state, or the control circuit places the circuit in the low power mode in response to a feedback signal indicating that the actuator has reached a stopped condition.

  • Patent number: 9970879
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the sensitivity to electrostatic discharge (ESD) of energetic and volatile samples. The method and apparatus include an optical detector configured to detect the optical light intensity from an ESD event with time resolution less than 15 microseconds. The optical light intensity is integrated to obtain an integrated light intensity. The method and apparatus further include processing circuitry configured to determine whether the ESD event is a “Go” event, wherein the energetic material undergoes decomposition generating additional light in addition to light generated by the ESD event itself, or the ESD event is a “No-Go” event without decomposition of the energetic/volatile material. The integrated light intensity threshold between “Go” and “No-Go” events is determined using a statistical distribution of inert sample measurements.

  • Patent number: 9881459
    Abstract: In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates generally to a game including a path of different symbol display positions. The gaming system generates one or more symbols (and/or one or more awards) at one or more of the symbol display positions of a matrix or grid. The gaming system then randomly forms a path including a plurality of the symbol display positions and determines an award for the player based on which symbol display positions are included in the formed path.

  • Patent number: 9800191
    Abstract: A system includes a controller to control movement of a linear resonant actuator (LRA). The system includes a monitor in the controller to monitor a back electromotive force (BEMF) signal from the LRA representing the movement of the LRA. The monitor generates an indicator that indicates whether or not movement of the LRA has occurred. A primary loop module in the controller controls acceleration and braking of the LRA based on the monitored BEMF signal if the indicator from the monitor indicates that LRA movement has occurred. An alternate cycle module in the controller pushes the LRA at a predetermined frequency if the indicator from the monitor indicates that LRA movement has not occurred. The push is employed to move the LRA when the BEMF signal is undetectable by the monitor with respect to a predetermined threshold.
