User-defined stimulation patterns for juvenile products

Systems and methods define a stimulation pattern for a juvenile product utilizing a mobile device that executes a mobile application that is linked to the juvenile product. The method comprises the step of recognizing, by the mobile device when executing the mobile app, the user-defined stimulation pattern for the juvenile product. The stimulation pattern can be a vibration pattern or a motion pattern, and can be detected in a number of different ways by the mobile device. The method further comprises the step of determining control signals for the actuator(s) of the juvenile product based on the user-defined stimulation pattern that is recognized by the mobile device. The method further comprises the step of, in response to receiving a command to execute the user-defined stimulation pattern, controlling the actuator(s) of the juvenile product based on the stored control signals for the user-defined stimulation pattern.

Active vibration control using circular force generators

Systems, devices, and methods for active vibration control using circular force generators. In one aspect, a vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a cabin, an engine, and a number of vibration control devices mounted on the vehicle frame. Each vibration device includes a circular force generator comprising at least one mass and at least one motor configured to rotate the mass. The vibration control devices are configured to perform active vibration control to reduce noise and/or vibration within the cabin resulting from the engine deactivating a subset of cylinders in operation.

Automatic stop method and device for can opener
11827504 · 2023-11-28 · ·

The invention provides an automatic stop method and device for a can opener. When a first rotation frequency of a bearing in a first preset time is smaller than a second rotation frequency of the bearing in a subsequent second preset time in the process of opening a can by a can opener blade and a difference between the second and first frequency reaches a preset value, it is determined that repeated cutting occurs, and the blade will be stopped in time to avoid problems caused by repeated cutting. Meanwhile, mean values of multiple data acquired within the first and second preset time are calculated, avoiding the problems of an excessively high and long instant processing burden of one time of data acquisition and errors caused by data acquired once, improving the timeliness and accuracy of the first and second frequency, and can opening can be controlled more accurately.

Method, system and devices for selective modal control for vibrating structures

A method, system and devices to selectively control modal vibrations in an elastic panel with a number of force actuators distributed throughout the surface of the elastic panel to excite/depress the response of one or more vibrational resonant modes included in a prescribed subset. The force actuators are disposed such that prescribed modal excitation/depression may be realized when the actuators are driven by a common source signal.

METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A DIGITAL FILTER FOR ATTENUATING A FREQUENCY ASSOCIATED WITH A TORSION MODE OF A POWER TRANSMISSION LINE OF A TURBINE ENGINE
20220220979 · 2022-07-14 · ·

A method for parameterizing a digital filter for attenuation of a torsional mode of a power transmission line of an aircraft turbine engine is disclosed. The mode is associated with a frequency in a confidence interval, the digital filter is low-pass and described by a transfer function equal to the quotient N(z)/D(z), integrated into a pre-existing monitoring loop of the turbine engine, to filter signals sampled at a frequency. The method includes: calculating zeros of N(z), so that the filter attenuates the frequency; updating the zeros of N(z), so that the gain of the filter satisfies, in the interval, a first gain template; and determining the poles of D(z), so that, in the bandwidth of the loop: the phase of the filter satisfies a phase template, and the gain of the filter satisfies a second gain template.
