Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle, which is specifically adapted to be used as a bumper car. The vehicle is constructed from a frame that allows the vehicle to absorb and deliver impacts in a more efficient manner. Additionally, the vehicle includes steering and clutch assemblies-that allow for increased maneuverability. This increased maneuverability makes for,a more pleasurable and exciting bumper car game.
Abstract: Disclosed is a microcomputer controlled system in which the resolver reference voltage is generated through microcomputer interrupts and the analog-to-digital conversion of the resolver outputs ratio is also timed by the microcomputer to match peaks of the resolver reference voltage. To improve accuracy and resolution, the resolver outputs are synchronously fullwave rectified to the polarity of the amplitude modulation voltage. The microcomputer uses the digital resolver shaft angle to control programmable limit switches.
