  • Publication number: 20040124965
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optical door lock safety recognition system, which is positioned a bar code pattern on a surface of a key and to match with a door lock apparatus for practicing. There is an electromagnetic valve arranged within the door lock apparatus to curb a bayonet for limiting the movement of the lock head. There is a photography module is positioned at an outside of the notch channel and comprises a light emitting element and a photo sensor element so as to utilize the infrared rays to scan a bar code pattern of the key to form an output of a corresponding analog signal. A signal switch circuit is to transfer the analog signal into a plus signal to a microprocessor.

  • Patent number: 6687112
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control system for an electrostatically-driven microelectromechanical device, which uses multiple electrodes to control the microelectromechanical device, i.e. the lower driven electrode of a capacitor with known two parallel driven electrodes is cut into a number of small electrodes. By selecting an electrode pattern for a desired electrostatic force, it is capable of altering the non-linearity of the device based on various applications and achieving a characteristic such as a linear driven, digital driven, or ultimately optimal driven manners, which is able to reach high operation accuracy for the existing circuit that only possesses a limited accuracy.

  • Patent number: 5821725
    Abstract: An electric current compensation circuit for use with a multiple-phase burshless motor to reduce ripples in the output torque is disclosed. It contains a plurality of electric current compensation loops each for a respective phase winding and each of the electric compensation loops contains: (a) a first input for receiving a line current from the driver; (b) a second input for receiving the compensation current from the motor sensor; (c) a forward rectifying circuit for forwardly rectifying the line current and the compensation current; (d) a reverse rectifying circuit for reversely rectifying the line current and the compensation current; and (e) a summation circuit for summing the forwardly rectified compensation current and the reversely rectified compensation current and outputting a synthetic current to a phase winding of the motor.
