  • Publication number: 20240146222
    Abstract: A drive apparatus of a synchronous motor includes: a current detecting unit that detects a phase current flowing to the synchronous motor; and a magnetic pole position estimating unit that estimates a magnetic pole position of a rotor of the synchronous motor, based on the phase current detected by the current detecting unit. The magnetic pole position estimating unit includes a first peak-to-peak detector that detects a first peak-to-peak value representing a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the phase current, a quadrature component detector that detects a quadrature component of the phase current, and a second peak-to-peak detector that detects a second peak-to-peak value representing a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the quadrature component.

  • Publication number: 20230315347
    Abstract: In a case where a first print execution instruction including first user identification information is received from a first terminal device, a printer may execute printing and determine whether a usage amount of the printer by a first user identified by the first user identification information is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount by using first print history information in association with the first user identification information. In a case where it is determined that the usage amount of the printer by the first user is equal to or greater than the predetermined amount, the printer may display a first screen. In a case where it is determined that the usage amount of the printer by the first user is less than the predetermined amount, the first screen is not displayed.
