A motor control device. When the motor control device executes pressure control of which a minor loop is speed control or position control, the pressure control is executed in a manner that pressurization or depressurization is performed while a control parameter of the speed control is fixed; a control parameter of the pressure control is gradually increased; an oscillation amount is successively detected and stored. If the oscillation amount exceeds an acceptable value, on the basis of the control parameter of the pressure control and the oscillation amount stored during adjustment, the control parameter of the pressure control is adjusted such that the oscillation amount is equal to or less than the acceptable value.

A counter is started on the falling edge of a tach pulse. This counter counts to the rising edge of a second tach pulse, such as the next tach pulse. During the duration of the tach pulse the FPGA calculates the RPM of a motor. In this way, during each commutation period, a RPM is calculated. The present system performs a RPM calculation during each commutation period and/or tach pulse duration.

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a system may include a feedback controller and logic. The feedback controller may be configured to, based on a setpoint value and a measured process value calculate an error between the setpoint value and the measured process value and generate a driving signal based on the error. The logic may be configured to determine if oscillation is present in the driving signal, determine if oscillation is present in an operational parameter other than the driving signal such that oscillation of such operational parameter may cause oscillation in the measured process value, determine if oscillation present in the driving signal is correlated with oscillation present in the operational parameter, and adjust a control parameter of the feedback controller responsive to determining that oscillation present in the driving signal is not correlated to oscillation present in the operational parameter.

A reaction force counteracting device includes a mounting seat supported on a base seat by means of a vibration isolating assembly, a stage movably mounted on the mounting seat and actuated by a primary actuating member, and a holding table coupled with and movable relative to the stage for holding an object. A reaction force counteracting unit includes a counteraction actuating member coupled with the primary actuating member, and a counteraction moving member actuated by the counteraction actuating member to be moved in an opposite direction relative to an accelerated displacement of the primary actuating member made by a reaction force generated from movement of the stage. A control unit is electronically connected to the primary and counteraction actuating members to control the movement of the counteraction moving member.

Disclosed herein is a control system for a projection system, including a first subtractor receiving an input drive signal and a feedback signal and generating a first difference signal therefrom, the feedback signal being indicative of position of a quasi static micromirror of the projection system. A type-2 compensator receives the first difference signal and generates therefrom a first output signal. A derivative based controller receives the feedback signal and generates therefrom a second output signal. A second subtractor receives the first and second output signals and generates a second difference signal therefrom. The second difference signal serves to control a mirror driver of the projection system. A higher order resonance equalization circuit receives a pre-output signal from an analog front end of the projection system that is indicative of position of the quasi static micromirror, and generates the feedback signal therefrom.

Systems, tools, and methods are presented that enable a circuit to introduce a random time delay before actuating a relay to start or stop a supply of electrical power to a heating element of a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. In one instance, the circuit includes a time-delay switch electrically connected to the relay. The time-delay switch has a random time delay before entering a closed state or open state. The relay is operable to start and stop a supply of electrical power to the heating element in response to the switch entering, respectively, the closed state and the open state. Other systems, tools and methods are presented. Other systems, tools and methods are presented.

A method and system for managing tow end placement. A tow is laid up over a tuning surface. A first position of a first tow end of the tow and a second position of a second tow end of the tow are measured. A first error between the first position of the first tow end and an expected position for the first tow end, and a second error between the second position of the second tow end and an expected position for the second tow end, are computed. A determination is made as to whether at least one of the first error or the second error is outside of selected tolerances. A start timing offset of a tow placement system is adjusted if the first error is outside of selected tolerances and a stop timing offset of the tow placement system is adjusted if the second error is outside of selected tolerances.
