Patent number: 11936311Abstract: To provide a controller for motor which can reduce a torque ripple up to high frequency, without amplifying unnecessary noise and vibration. A controller for motor estimates an interlinkage flux based on the applied voltage and the detection value of current; estimates an output torque based on the detection value of current and the estimation value of interlinkage flux; extracts a pulsation component from the estimation value of output torque; calculates a voltage command correction value based on the extraction value of pulsation component; calculates a voltage command after superimposing by superimposing the voltage command correction value on the voltage command basic value; and applies voltage to winding based on the voltage command after superimposing.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Isao Kezobo, Masahiko Orii, Tatsuya Mori, Seiji Sawada, Kenta Kubo

Patent number: 11535396Abstract: A flying object control system includes a flying object, and a setting base that performs holding of the flying object and releasing the holding, the flying object and the setting base being communicable with each other. The flying object controls, upon receiving a takeoff instruction, thrust for taking off from a predetermined initial position, and when the thrust becomes greater than or equal to a first threshold, the flying object notifies the setting base of a start notification. Upon receiving the start notification, the setting base releases the holding of the flying object and notifies the flying object of a release completion notification. Upon receiving the release completion notification, the flying object takes off from the predetermined initial position by controlling the thrust in such a manner that the thrust becomes a second threshold smaller than the first threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Takeshi Shimamoto, Seiji Kubo
