Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Motor controllers and methods for controlling drive circuit bypass signals." This invention provides a motor controller that generates variable frequency power based on input power from a power source. It includes a drive contactor that couples the drive circuit to the motor when a drive enable signal is received. Additionally, it decouples a line power enable signal from a line contactor based on the presence of the drive enable signal. The line contactor is designed to connect the motor directly to the power source when the line power enable signal is received.
Another notable patent is "Drive circuit for electric motors." This method involves operating a drive circuit for parallel electric motors by receiving measurements of stator phase currents. It selects a target permanent magnet motor that generates the largest torque output and executes a vector control algorithm to create a complex command voltage vector. The method generates and transmits a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to control an inverter, supplying three-phase alternating current (AC) power to the motors.
