Patent number: 9923498Abstract: A method for operating an electric motor when at a rotational speed below or above a predetermined limit value. The method involves operating an electric motor that has a stator and a rotor, wherein the stator or the rotor has at least three segments each having at least one electromagnetic element. The method includes simultaneously de-energizing all electromagnetic elements of all segments while the rotor rotates, measuring an electrical quantity induced in the electromagnetic elements, in particular an induced voltage, for each segment, and determining a rotor position of the rotor in relation to the stator from the measured electrical quantities. An electrical current can be supplied to the electromagnetic elements such that a segment magnetic field is formed to provide a segment torque to the rotor. The intensity of the electrical current depends on a segment position of the rotor in relation to the segment.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: OTTO BOCK HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS GMBHInventors: Josef Inschlag, Marcus Eder

Publication number: 20170170760Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating an electric motor. A first method is applied at a rotational speed below a predetermined limit value and a second method is applied at a rotational speed above the predetermined limit value. The first method is a method for operating an electric motor that has a stator and a rotor, wherein the stator or the rotor has at least three segments each having at least one electromagnetic element. The first method comprises the following steps: a) simultaneously de-energizing all electromagnetic elements of all segments while the rotor rotates, b) measuring an electrical quantity induced in the electromagnetic elements, in particular an induced voltage, for each segment, and c) determining a rotor position of the rotor in relation to the stator from the measured electrical quantities.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2015Publication date: June 15, 2017Applicant: OTTO BOCK HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS GMBHInventors: Josef INSCHLAG, Marcus EDER

Patent number: 6854021Abstract: Method and apparatus for sending data from one partition to a second partition within a logically partitioned computer. In a data processing system having multiple logical partitions, a send queue is established in the first logical partition, and a receive queue is established in the second logical partition. The send queue is registered in the send queue in a lookup table available to all of the logical partitions. The send queue is registered using as a key the logical partition identification of the first logical partition and the subchannel number (LPAR-ID.SUBCHANNEL#) of the subchannel assigned to the partition. The receive queue is registered in the lookup table using as a key, the internet protocol address of the receive queue in the second partition. A send instruction from the first logical partition is executed which interrogates the lookup table using the LPAR-ID.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2000Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donald W. Schmidt, John A. Aiken, Jr., Frank W. Brice, Jr., Janet R. Easton, Wolfgang Eckert, Marcus Eder, Steven G. Glassen, Jeffrey P. Kubala, Jeffrey M. Nick, Jerry W. Stevens, Ambrose A.
