Patents by Inventor Tomasz Piwowarczyk

Tomasz Piwowarczyk has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10742142
    Abstract: It is presented a motor controller configured to control movement of a motor to a mechanical end position. The motor controller comprises: a motor output configured to control an amount of energy being supplied to the motor; a motor input configured to measure a back electromotive force, EMF, voltage over the motor; and a control unit being configured to control the amount of energy being supplied on the motor output based on back EMF measurements from the motor input when the motor output is in a state of not supplying energy to the motor wherein the control unit is configured to detect an end position of the motor based on changes of back EMF measurements.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7066008
    Abstract: A method of measuring concentration of solid or liquid particulate matter in a gaseous carrier medium, particularly suitable for measuring concentration and flow rate of pulverized fuel pneumatically transported in a duct to power station boiler burners. The method includes generating a radio frequency electromagnetic wave within a duct, measuring wave parameters within a range of frequencies, including a cut-off frequency, determining the cut-off frequency from changes in wave parameters, calculating dielectric permittivity of a two-phase flow duct load, and ascribing to this value a corresponding concentration value. The measured parameter is the rate of change of phase shift against frequency at two arbitrary points on a wave transmission path, whereas the waveguide cut-off frequency value is determined at a point where the rate of change of phase shift against frequency reaches a maximum.
