A fan motor controller comprises a pulse width modulation signal, a switch circuit, a control unit, and a frequency judging unit. The switch circuit is coupled to a fan motor for supplying a driving current to the fan motor. The control unit generates a control signal to the switch circuit, so as to control the switch circuit. The frequency judging unit receives the pulse width modulation signal for generating a judging signal to the control unit. The pulse width modulation signal is configured to adjust a speed of a fan. The pulse width modulation signal has a frequency. Based on the frequency and a judgment rule, the fan motor controller is configured to attain the function of switching between the forward direction and the reverse direction of the fan.

Potentially off-grid grain conditioners that can be operably connected to an aeration grain bin or silo to blow heated air through the crop to dry the crop or to blow ambient temperature air through the crop to cool it are disclosed. A fan is powered by a motor that may be mounted inside the air stream to allow the heat from the motor to be collected and forced into the airstream that is blown into the grain bin. The engine exhaust may be routed through an air exchanger to remove heat from the exhaust and direct heat into the grain bin, or the exhaust may be put into the atmosphere without capturing any of the heat, which allows the fan to operate in a cooling mode. The motor may be mounted inline or mounted to the side for a centrifugal aeration fan.

A remote control system for forward/reverse rotation of a fan includes a remote control and a forward-reverse rotation control unit. The remote control includes an operation module, and a first control module capable of outputting an operation signal which corresponds to an operation condition of the operation module. The operation signal can switch between a forward rotation mode and a reverse rotation mode to correspond to the operation condition of the operation module. The forward-reverse rotation control unit includes a double-pole relay that is controllable to switch between a first mode and a second mode and that is used to provide electric power to the fan, and a second control module that controls the double-pole relay to switch modes according to the operation signal, thereby making a rotational direction of the fan correspond to the operation of the operation module.

A long-distance speed control system for a brushless DC motor of a fan is provided. The long-distance speed control system includes a switch connected with a mains power supply, a switch circuit, a voltage detection module, a power cord, a processing unit, and a drive unit, which can control the multi-stage rotational speed of the motor. In the field of brushless DC motors for fans, there is no need to use analog-to-digital conversion chips between the mains power supply and the processor, having the advantages of low cost, environmental protection, and reduction of waste of earth resources. Besides, the switch, the switch circuit and the power cord can withstand the mains power supply, having the advantages of less signal attenuation and long-distance transmission.

A head-mountable flow generator is configured to deliver a flow of breathable gas at a continuously positive pressure with respect to ambient air pressure to a patient interface in communication with an entrance to a patient's airways including at least an entrance of the patient's nares, while the patient is sleeping, to ameliorate sleep disordered breathing. The flow generator includes a motor, an impeller assembly and housing that encases the motor and the impeller assembly. The housing is configured to be mounted on the patient's head and comprises an inlet to receive the flow of breathable gas and a pair of opposing outlets to deliver the flow of breathable gas. In addition, the impeller assembly is configured to pressurize the flow of breathable gas received from the inlet, and the housing is configured to convey the pressurized flow of breathable gas through both outlets.

A vacuum pump is provided that can remove deposits without overhauling and also detect completion of removal of deposits. A cleaning function portion for a cleaning function that performs cleaning of a deposit in a vacuum pump and a deposition sensor for a deposition detection function that detects the deposit are provided. A reading circuit portion and a cleaning completion determination circuit portion for a cleaning completion determination function that determines completion of cleaning are provided. The cleaning completion determination circuit portion outputs a cleaning completion signal indicating completion of the cleaning, based on a detection result of the deposition sensor.

A vacuum pump includes a control unit that monitors and controls a motor and a magnetic bearing, each being stored in a pump body. A temperature-adjustment function unit measures a temperature of the pump body by at least one temperature sensor disposed in the pump body and controls at least one heater or solenoid controlled valve based on the temperature. The temperature-adjustment function unit includes a first terminal capable of connecting or disconnecting the temperature sensor and a second terminal capable of connecting or disconnecting one of the heater and the solenoid controlled valve. A self-diagnosis unit capable of conducting a self-diagnosis of whether an input signal to the first terminal has been normally inputted or whether the signal has been normally outputted from the second terminal.
