Abstract: A motor control system employed in a mechanism including displacers driven by motors, for example, a vehicle seat control system, includes motor operation parameter detection or simulation as inputs to adaptive algorithms to simplify the control system. The adaptive algorithms compensate for the interference with detection of generated or sensed pulses in previous pulse counting implementations. The seat control permits additional functions to be performed without numerous sensors, power controls and robust demands required in previous systems for controlling motors.

Abstract: An electronic control system is an in-line module for addition to or partial replacement of automotive vehicle seat control systems for providing massage and improved features of functional control, especially human lumbar massage and diagnostics. The module provides the following improved functions and features: an enhanced driver for automatic lumbar massage, or user taught lumbar massage cycle, and a transparency simulator for low power standby operation, motor stall protection, open motor circuit detection, short motor circuit protection, motor low current protection, motor over current protection, seat position sensor malfunction detection, electrical motor noise attenuation, electrical noise filtering, and also other options. These improvements do not require alternative wiring harness changes and do not affect existing operations of a memory or non-memory seat control mechanism.

Abstract: A fully regularized printer LUT with improved accuracy is generated by measurement of color patches at a first LUT interval and measurement of color patches for critical color regions at intermediate points between the first LUT interval. Thereafter, a fully regularized LUT is produced at a second LUT interval which is less than the first interval, by insertion of all measurement values into the regularized LUT and by insertion of interpolated values into the regularized LUT at grid points that were not actually measured. In a case where eccentric points have been measured, meaning points that are closely adjacent to the regularized LUT grid, actually-measured values are not entered into the LUT grid; rather interpolated values are entered, with interpolation being such that post-processing of the entries yields the measured value for the eccentric point.
