Patent number: 10608622Abstract: A method of control of an electric motor involves generation of an electrical control signal for the electric motor, the signal having a series of sequences of pulses, each pulse being defined by a width and a period. The ratio of width to period defines a mean electrical power provided to the electric motor by this pulse. The period of a pulse situated at an arbitrary position of a sequence of pulses is equal to the period of the pulse situated at that position of any other sequence of pulses of the series, and the period of each pulse is fixed in a pseudo random manner, such that the inverse of the fixed period lies above the audible acoustic spectrum. The number of pulses of each sequence is fixed so that the inverse of the sum of the periods of all the pulses lies below the audible acoustic spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Valeo Systemes ThermiquesInventors: Philippe Bourdel, Xavier Goumain, Jonathan Fournier, Sylvain Grandyot

Patent number: 10239210Abstract: The problem of picking tightly-pack generally uniformed products such as rubber bales in a bin is solved by sequentially selecting each one of the products based on the products depths in the bin, using a robot with a tool to grip each selected product, and moving on an output station each gripped product considering its position relative to the gripping tool. A first sensor system is used to determine the product depths in the bin. The sensor system can be mounted on the robot tool or be positioned above the bin. The position of each gripped product in the gripping tool is achieved by analyzing an image of the gripped product in the gripping tool.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Symbotic Canada ULCInventors: Sylvain-Paul Morency, Marc Ducharme, Robert Jodoin, Christian Simon, Jonathan Fournier, Sebastien Lemay
