The motor controller is used for generating a motor control output according to a reference signal and a first signal. The compensation device is used for generating a compensated motor control output according to the motor control output and a second signal. Moreover, the compensation device utilizes the compensated motor control output to reduce the steady-state phase error between the first signal and the reference signal.

Abstract: An opening and closing control device of opening and closing member for a vehicle Includes a motor for actuating the opening and closing member, and a control unit for driving the motor so as to become a predetermined target speed and for driving the motor in reverse direction as a detection of entrapped obstacles when the actual speed of the motor reaches to an entrapment Judgment speed which is set lower than the target speed. The control unit sets a threshold speed which is higher than the target speed and outputs an output duty to the motor for achieving the target speed by feedback control. The control unit switches the output duty after the actual speed of the motor becomes higher than the threshold speed to an output by feedforward control based on the target speed.

Abstract: A system for producing a digital representation of the value of an angle .theta., typically a phase angle, from two analog input quantities representative of A sin .theta. and A cos .theta., where A is an amplitude factor, comprises logarithmic amplifiers (IC1-IC4) which produce analog representations of a plurality of quantities (sin .theta., cos .theta., sin (.theta.+3.pi./4), cos (.theta.+3.pi./4)) derived from the two input quantities and which are arranged to add or subtract their outputs to produce quantities (V.sub.1 -V.sub.4) which are independent of A and the value of each of which lies within a predetermined range (-C to +C) in at least one respective portion (2.pi./n) of an angular range for .theta. of 2.pi. radians. The digital representation of .theta. is the concatenation of digital representations of the angular portion (2.pi./n) in which .theta. lies and of the value of .theta. within the portion that is derived from the selected appropriate one of the quantities V.sub.1 -V.sub.

Abstract: A control system for synchronizing a combination press line comprised of a transfer press and a double-action press.The transfer press is set as a master press and the double-action press as a slave press following the transfer press in operation.The transfer and double-action press each has a synchro coupled to respective drive shafts for detecting an angular position of each press. A comparator is provided for comparing signals from both synchros and generating a signal corresponding to a difference between signals from both synchros. The output signal from the comparator is fed only to a motor for the double-action press for controlling the speed of the motor, thus enabling the double-action press to follow the transfer press in operation.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmissionless drive system providing maximum torque at low speeds. The system is usable in a hybrid vehicle having a prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine, operated at its optimum rpm for efficiency. The prime mover drives a pair of amplidynes which in turn operate a pair of dc motors to produce rotation of the output shaft for driving the wheels of the vehicle via a novel differential drive system which drives the output shafts in which the effective gear ratio may be externally controlled to vary from a very high step down ratio producing very high torque to a one-to-one ratio for driving at a constant speed. Each drive motor is connected to a separate bevel gear in the differential and control of the output shaft speed and torque is obtained by controlling the speed and direction of rotating of the bevel drive gears.

Abstract: A system for controlling the position of a movable element, such as a microscope slide in one embodiment thereof, which system includes a unique high resolution digital-to-analog converter which converts a digital command signal to an analog servo input command for moving the element along an arcuate path in two orthogonal directions and for moving the element in a third orthogonal direction along a linear path. The unique digital-to-analog converter which would be broadly useful in many different applications includes means responsive to selected combinations of the most significant bits of a digital input signal for supplying equally weighted selected combinations of a reference signal and responsive to selected combinations of the least significant bits thereof for supplying binary weight selected combinations of the reference signal, the equally weighted binary weighted combinations being combined to produce the analog output signal.

Abstract: Two movable members driven by individual motors are positioned accurately at any given time and are tracking each other for all displacements. Individual positioning is used with differential positioning to force a follow-up of one member relative to the other. One feedback position loop provides a master reference for a second position loop of the slave motor drive, and the differential position signal makes the second loop operate as a vernier of the master loop. A limiter prevents the master drive from running ahead of the slave drive.
