  • Publication number: 20200130732
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, an example system includes a motor, and a motor control system that includes a low side current measurement subsystem. The system further includes a processor that switches the motor control system to use feedforward current control in response to detecting a current measurement failure in the low side current measurement subsystem. The processor further identifies a first phase that has a failed current measurement. The processor also computes a current measurement for the first phase, which has the current measurement failure. The processor further uses the computed current measurement to compute a parameter estimate.

  • Publication number: 20200110834
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a system, computer program product, and method for identification of linguistically related elements, and more specifically to prediction of a linguistically related element. A linguistic algorithm forms a cluster representation of corpus entries. A linguistic term is identified and application to the cluster representation to identified proximally related linguistic terms. Associative relationships between the proximally related terms and category metadata are iteratively investigated. One or more linguistic terms related across the two more metadata categories is identified and designated at the linguistically related element.

  • Publication number: 20200108856
    Abstract: Technical solutions are described for inverter commutation techniques for five-phase synchronous motor drives. An example method for five-phase motor control of a five-phase motor in a steering system includes receiving, by a processing device, a commanded modulation index mi, a phase advance angle ?, and a measured position ?m. The method further includes generating, by the processing device, five duty cycles for each phase of the five-phase motor based at least in part on the commanded modulation index mi, the phase advance angle ?, and the measured position ?m. Each of the duty cycles includes a fundamental component and an injected harmonic component. The method further includes performing, by the processing device, a pulse width modulation technique on each of the five duty cycles to generate on-times for a plurality of switches in phase legs of an inverter.
