Patent number: 7041357Abstract: Apparatus and methods are presented for reinforcing and stiffening a printed circuit board (PCB) in selected locations by utilizing preferentially oriented fibers. Selected fibers within the polymeric material matrix of the PCB fiber-matrix layer are removed and replaced with a similar quantity of fibers in a preferential orientation. Various combinations of layering of modified fiber-matrix layer material with conventional fiber-matrix layer material are presented to achieve the desired PCB stiffening. Printed circuit boards, under the weight of heavy attached electronic components, may deflect or flex along an axis, defined as the characteristic fold. This flexing is exasperated with manufacturing and handling loading, particularly when mounted in a chassis. Preferentially orientated fibers laid transverse to the characteristic fold reinforces the area to resist flexure within the area surrounding the characteristic fold.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: George Hsieh, Terrance J.

Patent number: 4019107Abstract: A direct current motor control system for generating current command signals to a unidirectional armature controller and a bidirectional field controller. A motor speed command is compared with the actual motor speed to generate a speed error signal. The system generates a current command signal from the average of the speed error signal wherein the current command signal is proportional to the square root of the desired motor torque. The absolute value of the current command signal is the input to the armature controller and the field controller receives the current command signal wherein the polarity of the signal determines the direction of current flow in the field winding for controlling the direction of rotation of the motor.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1975Date of Patent: April 19, 1977Assignee: Reliance Electric CompanyInventors: George Scott Dixon, Edward O. Gilbert, Theodore A. Oliver, James W. A. Wilson

Patent number: 3968434Abstract: A tachometer for generating a digital output signal representing velocity which is a stepped approximation to a 1/t velocity versus time curve where t is the time required to travel a fixed distance. High resolution is obtained by dividing the 1/t curve into octaves and an approximate straight line portion. A nonlinear counter counts a predetermined number of pulses during each octave as the time of the counting interval for succeeding octaves is doubled. Therefore, the counter total and the number of octaves completed after time t represents velocity. After completing eight octaves, the nonlinear counter counts at a predetermined frequency to generate a straight line approximation of the 1/t curve as it approaches zero velocity. The digital output can be converted to analog form by a digital-to-analog converter and operational amplifiers having an amplification factor determined by the number of octaves completed.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1974Date of Patent: July 6, 1976Assignee: Reliance Electric CompanyInventors: George Scott Dixon, Lawrence F.
