  • Patent number: 11123854
    Abstract: A handheld power tool has a tool socket (2) to hold a tool (4) along a working axis (11), a motor (5) and a slip clutch (21) having a number of blocking elements. A sensor (27) serves to record a measured signal (28) as the measure of vibrations inside the handheld power tool (1). A band-pass filter (29) has a pass range in which a frequency lies that is equal to the product of the rotational speed of the wheel (22) on the drive side and the number N of blocking elements (24). The measured signal (28) filtered by the band-pass filter (29) is fed to an evaluation unit (30). When the filtered measured signal (28) exceeds a limit value, the evaluation unit (30) reduces the rotational speed of the motor (5).

  • Patent number: 6154090
    Abstract: A method of reducing feedback action on a timely flow of current, which is drawn by a load from a network via rectifier, by active filtering of upper harmonics, which are superimposed on a network first harmonic, with a power factor corrector circuit with a pulse-width modulation of a switch signal which influences the current drawn from the network and flowing through a boost-converter, with the method including dividing a current path between the rectifier (2) and the load (10) in a plurality of parallel channels (It, Jt), and providing in each channel (It, Jt) a similarly active filter, with switch signals of both active filters having a substantially same pulse-width modulation and being phase-sifted relative to each other so that a reduced ripple of the total current, which results form cumulative superimposition of currents in separate channels, is produced at a network input (9); and an active filter for effecting the method.
