  • Patent number: 9329062
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a rotary encoder, in particular an incremental encoder, of an electrical machine, wherein the encoder has a number of reference marks and outputs a sine track and a cosine track. The electrical machine can be regulated to a specific speed, an angle of the electrical machine is determined with the aid of the sine track and/or the cosine track, from this an angular progression over time is ascertained, an oscillation in the angular progression over time with a frequency of substantially one integral multiple of the product of the specific speed and the number of reference marks is ascertained, and from this a correction factor the sine track and/or the cosine track is derived, wherein the amplitude of the oscillation is less than or equal to a limiting value. The invention further relates to an encoder evaluation and an electric motor having a rotary encoder.

  • Patent number: 4496416
    Abstract: For the adjustment and mounting of an optical component in an optical instrument, the optical component is held by an adjusting device not forming part of the instrument. After the adjusting process is completed, the component is attached to the instrument by a liquid or pasty substance which solidifies with slight change in volume. The optical component or its mount and the instrument are so developed that a form-locked, force-locked, or adherence-locked attachment is produced between them. The adjusting process can be made objective by a position-resolving receiver; the evaluation of the adjustment image and the carrying out of the adjustment movements can be effected by a computer which can also carry out the entire adjustment process completely automatically. After the firm attachment of the optical component to the instrument, the adjusting device is removed.

  • Patent number: 4334748
    Abstract: Photographic camera light controlling apparatus for driving a light admitting system, comprisingfour stator electromagnetic poles defining therebetween an intervening field space containing a linear path, including first and second transversely opposed poles at one path end and third and fourth transversely opposed poles at the other path end, with said first and third poles on one path side and second and fourth poles on the opposite path side,a field coil mechanism energizable alternately in opposite current flow directions and coordinated to energize said first and fourth poles with one polarity and said second and third poles with the opposite polarity, and alternately vice versa, thereby providing in such field space oppositely polarized electromagnetic fields,a permanent magnet for driving such system, having its permanent poles arranged transversely of the path and forming a surface magnetized permanent magnet with one permanent pole facing said first and third poles and the opposite permanent pole fac
