  • Patent number: 11932350
    Abstract: A power assisted electric bicycle includes a body, a motor, a torque sensor, and a controller. The motor is operated in an operating period. The torque sensor is configured to output a plurality of torque signals corresponding to a pedal force. The controller is coupled to the motor and the torque sensor. The controller is configured to: receive the torque signals from the torque sensor; determine a peak and a valley, which is adjacent to the peak, among the torque signals; compute and determine a pedaling period between the peak and the valley, which is adjacent to the peak, among the torque signals; and generate an error signal associated with the torque sensor if it is determined that the pedaling period and the operating period fail to meet a default ratio.

  • Patent number: 9537440
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a motor having a rotor includes a resolver, a processor, a decoder, a sensor, and a motor driver. The resolver outputs waveforms sensed from a rotation of the rotor. The decoder generates an absolute angle signal and an incremental angle signal in response to the waveforms from the resolver and provides the absolute angle signal and the incremental angle signal to the processor. The sensor estimates a positioning angle of the rotor and provides an estimated angle signal in response to the positioning angle of the rotor to the processor. When one of the absolute angle signal, the incremental angle signal, and the estimated angle signal is transmitted to the processor, the processor executes a predetermined program associated with the respective absolute angle signal, the incremental angle signal, and the estimated angle signal, to control the motor driver to rotate the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20020157612
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a vacuum evaporation apparatus comprising a vacuum pump, an evaporation chamber and a power supply. The evaporation chamber comprises a substrate, an evaporation source and an evaporation mask. The evaporation mask exhibits a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially equal to the substrate, and the evaporation mask has a pattern of metal tracks. Thus, the apparatus of the present invention also can be applied to form solder bumps on a large sized silicon wafer. Moreover, the position pattern of the mask is formed by an anisotropic etching process; the diameter of the pattern will not be influenced by the thickness of the mask. Therefore, the tendency of the solder bumps with the smaller size and the pitch are met.
