  • Publication number: 20220244313
    Abstract: A motor demagnetization detection method includes the following steps. The speed of a motor is calculated according to the rotation angle of the motor. When determining that the motor respectively maintains a first and second steady state according to the speed, the three-phase current values of the motor are received to obtain first and second steady-state data. An equivalent magnetic flux is calculated according to the first and second steady-state data. The motor is repeatedly driven to maintain the first and second steady states, the first and second steady-state data are updated according to the three-phase current values, and the equivalent magnetic flux is again calculated to generate equivalent magnetic fluxes. A magnetic flux change is calculated according to equivalent magnetic fluxes. A demagnetization warning is issued according to a comparison of the magnetic flux change and a demagnetization warning value.

  • Patent number: 10001462
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting pesticide residue in agricultural products. The system includes a chromatographic and mass-spectrometric system and a computer. The system inspects first and second sample solutions prepared from two identical extracts of an agricultural product. The first sample solution includes no additives while the second sample is added with a pesticide standard which is intended to be detected by the system for comparison. The computer compares the mass chromatograms of the first and second sample solutions, and calculate an increased integral area by which the peak of the second sample solution in the second mass chromatogram exceeds the peak of the first sample solution in the first mass chromatogram at the same retention time. As such, the concentration of pesticide residue in the sample can be determined by a ratio between the increased integral area and the concentration of the pesticide standard.
