Patent number: 10630149Abstract: The invention relates to a module for controlling the power supply (10) of an electric motor which comprises a printed circuit board (12) bored with a plurality of through-holes (30), respectively associated with an electrical connection pad (32) supported by said plate adjacent to each of said through-holes. The electrical connection pads (32) are arranged on a surface (26) of the printed circuit board (12) so that a virtual circle can be defined passing substantially through each of the connection pads, said pads being concentrated on a portion of the printed circuit board so as to form an arc of circle which is shorter than half the circumference of said virtual circle.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Valeo Systemes ThermiquesInventors: Xavier Rousseil, Xavier Goumain, Jonathan Fournier

Patent number: 10608622Abstract: A method of control of an electric motor involves generation of an electrical control signal for the electric motor, the signal having a series of sequences of pulses, each pulse being defined by a width and a period. The ratio of width to period defines a mean electrical power provided to the electric motor by this pulse. The period of a pulse situated at an arbitrary position of a sequence of pulses is equal to the period of the pulse situated at that position of any other sequence of pulses of the series, and the period of each pulse is fixed in a pseudo random manner, such that the inverse of the fixed period lies above the audible acoustic spectrum. The number of pulses of each sequence is fixed so that the inverse of the sum of the periods of all the pulses lies below the audible acoustic spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Valeo Systemes ThermiquesInventors: Philippe Bourdel, Xavier Goumain, Jonathan Fournier, Sylvain Grandyot
