  • Publication number: 20170082532
    Abstract: A vibration damper assembly that may be attached and moved about a payload or optical mount surface of an optical structure such as an optical table. The vibration damper assembly may include a sensor and an actuator that may be disposed within a housing. In some embodiments, the vibration damper assembly or components thereof may be incorporated into an optical structure in the form of an optical component to be disposed or mounted on an optical mount surface of an optical structure such as an optical table. Embodiments of the vibration damper system may include a controller in communication with the damper assembly Embodiments of the controller may use adaptive tuning, auto-ranging selection of gain factors and other features in order to optimize damping performance.

  • Patent number: 6642680
    Abstract: A motor control system that determines a number of commutation values during each control cycle of the system. Determining a plurality of commutation values provides a system with a higher frequency of commutation updates without having to increase the speed of the control cycle. This allows for a smoother operation of a motor without having to increase the speed of the control system processor.
