Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "High Speed Motor Control." This invention relates to an apparatus and method for generating digital electrical signals that represent the angular position and rotational velocity of a rotatable shaft or similar mechanical component in a servomechanism. The invention utilizes oversampling techniques to create an accurate, flexible, and responsive method for determining shaft position on a high-speed motor. It also includes methods for overcoming deadtime losses and velocity lag.
Another notable patent is the "Modular Current Sensor for Modularized Servo Control System." This invention features a modular current sensing system for a servo control system that includes a magnetic core with an open center portion and a connection plate with at least three wire connectors. The system is designed to connect at least two wires electrically in series. A first motor current flowing through the first wire induces a core current in the magnetic core, which emits a magnetic field. A Hall effect sensor detects this magnetic field, producing an output current that is delivered to a control device within the servo control system.
