  • ARRAY OF POSITION AND TEMPERATURE SENSORS
    Publication number: 20240142313
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor array comprising an inductive sensor (30, 31) and at least one temperature sensor (40, 41) for an electric machine, wherein the sensor array is arranged in a housing (10, 51, 52, 53, 54) and a single group of connectors (21) opens out of the housing (10, 20) in order to connect to an inverter of the electric machine.

  • Noise reduction system and method for audio switching amplifier
    Patent number: 7872522
    Abstract: Noise reduction for a switching amplifier system having a differential output stage and demodulator filter responsive to complementary PWM signals includes generating in-phase PWM signals and gradually adjusting their duty cycle between a low duty cycle and the full duty cycle of the complementary PWM signals, generating full duty cycle PWM signals and gradually shifting their relative phase between in-phase and out-of-phase; and in response to a turn-on signal, adjusting the in-phase PWM signals from low to full duty cycle and shifting the relative phase from in-phase to out-of-phase, and in response to a turn-off signal shifting the relative phase from out-of-phase to in-phase and adjusting the in-phase PWM signals from full to low duty cycle for maintaining balanced charge on the demodulation filter to reduce audible noise.
