  • Patent number: 11387763
    Abstract: A method of controlling an electric motor includes determining a PWM control signal, analyzing the PWM control signal to determine if components of the PWM signal are within a threshold amount of each other, applying duty-cycle blanking to the PWM control signal, if the components of the PWM control signal are within the threshold amount of each other, to generate an adjusted PWM control signal, and controlling the electric motor with the adjusted the PWM signal to limit parasitic effects.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130009017
    Abstract: An electronically-synchronized flap system for a fixed-wing aircraft including a first wing including a first flap panel, the first flap panel being connected with a first in-board actuator and a first out-board actuator, and a second wing including a second flap panel, the second flap panel being connected with a second in-board actuator and a second out-board actuator. In an embodiment, the system can further include an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to control the first and second in-board and out-board actuators to electronically synchronize the positions of the first and second flap panels.
