  • Publication number: 20200006034
    Abstract: A method of characterizing a region in a sample under study, and related systems, is disclosed. In once aspect, the sample under study comprises a first region having first crystalline properties and a second region having second crystalline properties. The method comprises irradiating the sample under study with an electron beam, the average relative angle between the electron beam and the sample under study being selected so that a contribution in the backscattered or forward scattered signal of the first region is distinguishable from that of the second region. The method further comprises detecting the backscattered or forward scattered electrons, and deriving a characteristic of the first and/or the second region from the detected backscattered or forward scattered electrons. The instantaneous relative angle between the electron beam and the sample under study is modulated with a predetermined modulation frequency during the irradiating the sample under study with an electron beam.

  • Patent number: 10439523
    Abstract: In a method for controlling an operation of an electric motor, electric voltages applied to electric phases of the electric motor are generated and output in a modulation in a controlled manner dependent on a rotor position of the electric motor and a target/actual comparison of at least one first variable which characterizes a load on the electric motor or an actual rotational speed of the electric motor. A rotor position angle, which characterizes the rotor position, is complemented with a specified preliminary control angle and another regulated preliminary control angle component upon reaching a field weakening range of the electric motor so as to form a sum angle. The sum angle is used to characterize the rotor position in the modulation upon reaching the field weakening range. The disclosure also relates to a device for controlling an operation of an electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20190100177
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for changing a forward displacement (104) of an occupant (106) of a vehicle (100) during braking of the vehicle (100). Initially, a seat belt status signal (112) which represents a status of a seat belt (108) for buckling in the occupant (106), and an occupant position signal which represents a position and/or location of the occupant (106) in the vehicle (100) and/or a change in the position and/or the location are read in. The two signals are processed to ascertain the forward displacement (104). Finally, at least one control signal (120, 121, 138) for controlling a braking device (122) of the vehicle (100) and/or at least one restraint means (108, 132) for restraining the occupant (106) is/are generated as a function of the forward displacement (104) in order to alter the forward displacement (104).

  • Patent number: 10243496
    Abstract: A method controls the operation of an electric motor. Wherein electrical voltages applied to electrical phases of the electric motor are produced and output in a controlled manner in a modulation on the basis of a rotor position of the electric motor, on the basis of a set point/actual comparison, which is performed in a control loop with a speed controller, for a speed of the electric motor and on the basis of a set point/actual comparison. A set point value at the input of the current regulator is formed by multiplying a present duty factor for the modulation by a first manipulated variable applied to the output of the speed controller. The first manipulated variable of the speed controller becomes an equivalent phase current root mean square value for the electric motor in the underlying current regulator by the multiplication by the present duty factor.

  • Patent number: 10215131
    Abstract: A power tool has an internal combustion engine with a carburetor with choke element pivotably arranged therein. A starter device with an actuating element has an operating position, off position, and at least one start position. A coupling element connects the actuating element with a choke actuating lever. The actuating element, upon adjustment from operating position into the at least one start position, moves the choke element into its start position. The connection between actuating element and choke actuating lever has a relative movement device which, in one position of the choke element, enables movement of actuating element relative to choke actuating lever. A holding device with guide contour is secured on the carburetor housing. In a start position of the choke element, the guide contour prevents movement of the actuating element relative to choke actuating lever from its start position into the operating position.

  • Publication number: 20180117755
    Abstract: A power tool has a handle operatively connected with vibration damping across a vibration gap to a drive motor with throttle element. An actuating device on the handle actuates the throttle element pivotably supported in a housing. A coupling element bridging the vibration gap connects actuating device to throttle element. The actuation movement of the actuation device is transmitted as rotation about an axis transverse to the vibration gap. An intermediate element is pivotably supported on an actuating element connected to the throttle element. The coupling element acts on the intermediate element and, over part of the actuation movement, contacts a contact region of the intermediate element. A guide for the intermediate element changes a position of the contact region relative to the housing based on a rotational position of the actuating element by changing a pivot position of the intermediate element relative to the housing.
