Abstract: A method for operating a direct current (DC) motor is shown and described. The method includes generating a first pulse width modulated (PWM) signal having a first duty cycle, providing the first PWM signal as a PWM DC output for the DC motor, and adjusting the first duty cycle to control a speed of the DC motor. The method further includes sensing an electric current output to the motor using a current sensor and, when the sensed current exceeds a threshold, holding the PWM DC output off.

Abstract: This invention relates to wildlife nutritional supplementation compositions and methods of use thereof for providing enhanced feeding efficiency and restoring a ruminant's self-generation of water soluble vitamins.

Abstract: The present invention is a wildlife nutritional supplement for free ranging ruminants including about 7.5-8.5% calcium, about 3.5% phosphorus, about 32-37% salt, at least one “B” series vitamin is selected from a group consisting of pantothenic acid, folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, thiamine, cobalamin, and pyridoxine hydrocholoride, about 16-19% sodium, about 0.15% magnesium, about 0.15% potassium, about 2.5% sulfur, about 1,200 PPM iron, about 20 PPM copper, about 105 PPM manganese, about 45 PPM zinc, about 5 PPM cobalt, about 1 PPM selenium, about 1 PPM iodine, about 50,000 IU/LB Vitamin A, about 20,000 IU/LB Vitamin D, about 50 IU/LB Vitamin E, about 134 MG/LB biotin, about 60 MG/LB ascorbic acid, oxytetracycline and fenbendazole.

Abstract: An apparatus for effecting actuation of a positioning member and a method for commissioning the apparatus wherein the apparatus includes a controller coupled to a drive motor and adapted to receive an input signal and to apply positioning signals to the drive motor. The positioning signals selectively effect positioning of the positioning member and determine a first position and a second position of the positioning member. The method for commissioning the apparatus selectively includes performing an end stop determination sequence in response to an end stop determination signal, winding a bias member, and determining a range of rotation for the positioning member. The end stop determination sequence seeks to detect the presence of both a load and spring when rotating the positioning member and biasing member, respectively, in one of a first and second direction.
