Publication number: 20210067116Abstract: Voltage-to-current converters that include two current mirrors are disclosed. In an example voltage-to-current converter each current mirror is a complementary current mirror in that one of its input and output transistors is a P-type transistor and the other one is an N-type transistor. Such voltage-to-current converters may be implemented using bipolar technology, CMOS technology, or a combination of bipolar and CMOS technologies, and may be made sufficiently compact and accurate while operating at sufficiently low voltages and consuming limited power.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2020Publication date: March 4, 2021Applicant: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Joseph ADUT, Jeremy WONG, Brian HAMILTON, Gregory FUNG

Publication number: 20200192531Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for automatically generating and displaying a chronology of events, where events may be represented by data objects in one or more databases. Events/data objects may be identified as relevant to an investigation or analysis based on specified criteria. A timeline may be generated based on the identified set of relevant events, and interactive user interfaces may be generated and displayed that present the events as a timeline and a list. Events may be selected from the timeline or the list, may be identified as key events in the chronology, and additional events related to a selected event may be determined and added to the chronology. Timelines may be compared to other data sets, including other timelines, other event lists, and other relevant data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2019Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Paul Ryan, Sharon Hao, Bradley Engel, Xinyi Wang, Jack Grossman, Gregory Martin, Andrew Elder, Ryan Xie, Brian Hamilton, Joshua Zavilla, Christopher Richbourg, Ryan Beiermeister, Marc Frankel

Patent number: 10039333Abstract: Protective gear for a user having an inner panel and an outer panel that is configured so the user can use: only the outer panel; only the inner panel; or both panels together. This allows the user to launder, change and/or replace either panel, without sacrificing the utility of the other panel. The outer panel and the inner panel are temporarily attached to one another when used together. The outer panel's top edge along the user's nose and below the eyes is reinforced with a pliable material, allowing the user to form the top edge of the outer panel to the user's nose and face. There is a small gap in the reinforcements at the nose area, which allows the protective gear to be folded and stored. Both the inner panel and outer panel are formed to cover the user's nose and to accommodate the eye protection worn by the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Inventors: Shane Brian Hamilton, Nathan Alexander Olson, Matthew Arnold Olson

Publication number: 20180198398Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling a motor having a rotor and a stator. A motor control module having a processor and a memory is in communication with the motor and is configured to receive an input torque command signal and control a stator current of the motor. The motor control module is further configured to calculate an angular acceleration of the rotor based on the input torque command signal and a rotor inertia. The motor control module calculates an angular velocity based on the calculated angular acceleration of the rotor. The motor control module calculates a stator flux angle based on the calculated angular velocity of the rotor and controls the stator current to generate a magnetic flux at the calculated stator flux angle based on the input torque command signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2017Publication date: July 12, 2018Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Ronald E.

Patent number: 8918236Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling attitude of a vehicle using a reaction wheel onboard the vehicle. One exemplary method involves receiving a torque command for adjusting the attitude of the vehicle using the reaction wheel, determining a phase error of the reaction wheel based at least in part on the torque command, and determining a motor torque command for the reaction wheel based on the phase error. The motor torque command is provided to an electric motor of the reaction wheel to apply a corresponding torque to the rotor of the reaction wheel. The relationship between the magnitude of the motor torque command and the magnitude of the phase error is nonlinear. In exemplary embodiments, the magnitude of the motor torque command exceeds the stiction torque, at least instantaneously, when the reaction wheel has fallen behind an expected position by more than a threshold amount.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Brian Hamilton
