  • Head orientation training devices
    Patent number: 11580837
    Abstract: Described herein are head orientation training devices for sports training and systems including such devices. A head orientation training device (HOTD) can include a position sensor configured to sense a tilt of the device, continually, while the device is activated. The HOTD can also include a computing device, configured to retrieve the tilt of the device from the position sensor, repeatedly, while the apparatus is activated. Also, the computing device of the HOTD can be configured to activate an alarm (such an audible or a visual alert) when the tilt of the apparatus exceeds a tilt threshold. The tilt threshold can be user definable as well.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus for motor control system and associated methods
    Patent number: 9106176
    Abstract: A motor control apparatus to control a motor external to the motor control apparatus includes a microcontroller unit (MCU). The MCU includes mixed signal motor control circuitry adapted to perform back electromotive force (EMF) motor control in a first mode of operation. The mixed signal motor control circuitry is further adapted to perform field oriented control (FOC) in a second mode of operation.
