  • CONTROL DEVICE FOR A MOTOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAID MOTOR
    Publication number: 20110241582
    Abstract: A control device is for a motor, especially a brushless DC motor. The control device contains a bridge circuit for generating a rotating field for the motor and a sensor system for detecting a position of a rotor of the motor, a control signal for the bridge circuit being derivable from the signal representing the rotor position. The sensor system includes an absolute value transmitter which detects the absolute position of the rotor and which is configured to derive at least one incremental signal from the absolute position and to make it directly available to a control component for controlling the bridge circuit for commuting the motor.

  • MASS SPECTROMETRIC IDENTIFICATION OF MICROORGANISMS IN COMPLEX SAMPLES
    Publication number: 20100248298
    Abstract: Microorganisms are identified as present in a complex sample or mixed culture by acquiring a mass spectrum of the sample and comparing it to combination spectra, each of which is formed by combining at least two reference mass spectra of known microorganisms. Microorganisms corresponding to the reference spectra used to form the combination spectrum are identified as present in the sample if that combination spectrum exhibits a better match with the sample mass spectrum than any one of reference mass spectra used to form that combination spectrum. It is also possible to identify microorganisms by forming a difference spectrum by subtracting a reference mass spectrum from the sample mass spectrum and comparing the difference spectrum to the reference mass spectra.
