Latest Patents
One of Bernard Serres' latest patents is titled "Optical grid enhancement for improved motor location." This invention provides methods for performing a scheme that results in a refined measurement pattern within an optical grid. Historically, physically adjusting the spacing of elements within an optical grid to achieve enhanced resolution has been unfeasible. This is due to the fact that reducing the spacing can cause light sensors of the optical grid to pick up false signals when reading light beams. The technology introduced by this invention generates a virtual reduced spacing of the elements within the optical grid by using two signals that are slightly different. These slightly different signals can achieve, at least, quarter-grid spacing resolution within the optical grid. Additionally, the enhanced resolution derived from the virtual reduced spacing is employed to govern the movement of a motor. The motor movement responds to one or more changes of direction, ensuring that the motor operates within its linear range. Advantageously, the virtual reduced spacing allows for substantial movement in a non-linear phase, while only limited movement in a linear phase is necessary to accurately locate a target within the optical grid.
