  • Patent number: 11926392
    Abstract: The present invention relates to electric bicycle speed control device and method. According to the present invention, a torque of a motor for driving a wheel is controlled so that a speed of a pedal driven by a user follows a speed of the wheel, and a torque of the pedal is also controlled by applying an assist level according to the torque of the motor. Therefore, even in an electric bicycle with a chain, it is possible to feel a feeling of the pedal like a bicycle with a chain, and it is possible to adjust the force applied to the pedal according to the assist level.

  • Patent number: 7636213
    Abstract: A recording current optimization method to optimize a recording current according to a change of a driving voltage applied to a pre-amplifier that generates the recording current supplied to a head, a recording medium storing a program that executes the method, and an apparatus that employs the method. The method of optimizing the recording current provided to the recording head of the hard disk drive includes detecting a driving voltage of the pre-amplifier, determining a voltage difference between the detected driving voltage and a reference driving voltage of the pre-amplifier, and optimizing the recording current according to the determined voltage difference. The recording current is adaptively optimized according to the change of the pre-amplifier driving power to provide the recording current to the head such that adjacent track erasure (ATE) and weak write (WW) are prevented from occurring due to the change of the driving power.
