  • Publication number: 20240136946
    Abstract: This patent presents a multidimensional space vector modulation (MDSVM) circuit formed by coupling a half-bridge logic control circuit not directly coupled to electronic components with at least three half-bridge logic control circuits coupled to electronic components. The half-bridge logic control circuit not directly coupled with any electronic components can form a full-bridge circuit with any other half-bridge logic control circuit coupled with electronic components. Therefore, users can further control the voltage difference between both ends of each electronic component separately and then individually control the strength and direction of current flowing through each electronic component and solving the problem of control attributed to the complexity of prior art.

  • Patent number: 11554881
    Abstract: This patent presents an attitude determination and control system based on a Quaternion Kalman Filter (QKF) with an extendable number of sensors and actuators. Furthermore, it is compatible with the spherical motor as its attitude actuator. The system includes a processor with a QKF, at least one direct attitude actuator, and at least two environmental sensors. Firstly, system dynamics calculates a first propagation attitude determination result. Next, update the first propagation with the attitude sensor measurements. Then, control the satellite's attitude via the attitude actuator closer to the attitude command provided by the user. The proposed system dynamic model could adjust the number of actuators and sensors freely without reprogramming the algorithms for new missions with new configurations on the actuators and sensors. Moreover, if some components fail, the algorithm can automatically remove those related sequences to avoid the overall failure of the system.

  • Patent number: 11336166
    Abstract: A motor includes a stator with a first stator, a second stator, and a third stator, each including at least one stator coil, and a rotor including a magnetic element, a first bearing, a second bearing, and a shaft, the stators generating a superimposed magnetic field together causing the magnetic element to rotate. When the magnetic element rotates in the first plane, the outer ring of the first bearing rotates. The center of the first bearing is located in a plane where the second bearing is located, and when the magnetic element rotates in the second plane, the inner ring of the second bearing rotates. A central axis of the shaft passes through the center of the first bearing; wherein the shaft is rotatably fixed to the first bearing and connected to the second bearing.
