Latest Patents

Boris Elpiner holds a patent for a "Control system for flow control valves." This invention presents a method and apparatus for controlling flow variables by sensing selected pneumatic parameters while ensuring that the control system operates within maximum power consumption constraints. The system includes a processor that selects a first flow valve for movement during one duty cycle in a selected direction. Subsequently, the processor selects additional flow valves to operate, driving them in the same direction as the first valve for the remainder of the duty cycle. The number of additional flow valves operated is determined by the maximum power constraints. Calibration of each flow valve is achieved by driving each valve to an endpoint using fewer power phases, thereby reducing the torque applied to the valve mechanism.
