  • Interim power source system and method
    Patent number: 10985661
    Abstract: A method for power control includes determining a load power of a load coupled to an output of an isolated AC/DC power supply. The method also includes, when the determined load power is less than a first threshold load power, providing the load power to the load from an interim power source.
    Type: Grant

  • Sensing method and system for correcting an input waveform from a coded wheel
    Patent number: 9869568
    Abstract: A sensing system and method for correcting an input waveform from a coded wheel. The coded wheel is configured to generate a signal that varies with rotation of the coded wheel relative to a sensor. The sensor is configured to sense the varying signal and output a corresponding input waveform. A correction module is configured to receive the input waveform and compare the input waveform to at least one stored waveform and to correct the input waveform if a defect is detected in the coded wheel in response to the comparison.

  • ROTATION SENSING METHOD AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20150137800
    Abstract: A sensing system and method. A coded wheel is configured to generate a signal that varies with rotation of the coded wheel. A sensor is configured to sense the varying signal and output a corresponding signal. A correction module is configured to receive the signal output by the sensor and compare the received signal to a stored signal and detect a defect in the coded wheel in response to the comparison.
