A motor control system includes a DC motor and a ripple count circuit. The DC motor includes a rotor that rotates in response to a drive current. The rotation of the rotor generates a mechanical force that drives a component. The ripple count circuit includes an active filter circuit and a parasitic pulse cancellation circuit. The active filter circuit is configured to filter the drive current and to generate a pulsed signal. The parasitic pulse cancelation circuit is in signal communication with the ripple count circuit to receive the pulsed signal and generates a ripple count signal that excludes parasitic pulses included in the pulsed signal having a parasitic voltage level that exceeds a voltage level of a voltage threshold. The parasitic pulse cancelation circuit actively adjusts the voltage level of the voltage threshold based at least in part on a rotational direction of the rotor.

An assembly includes a first structure, a second structure, a hinge that connects the first structure to the second structure for rotation of the first structure relative to the second structure around an axis, and a motion control component. The motion control component applies a feedback force to the hinge in response to an external force that is applied to the first structure. A magnitude of the feedback force is determined based on a current angular position of the first structure relative to the second structure.

This invention pertains to a solution to the parasitic problem of motor armature reaction/generator action in electric motors which causes undesired effects such as neutral plane shift and flux weakening. Prior art interventions such as interpoles and compensating windings add to complexity and cost of electric motors without satisfactorily solving the problematic issues. This invention pertains to a novel method of employing the same primary magnetic field multiple timesfirst to change electrical input power to mechanical output power and then to reconvert this same stored electromagnetic field energy back into electric energy for storage and reuse. The primary electromagnetic field energy is used a second time after it has been used to create the desired change in kinetic energy of the secondary magnetic field being acted upon when it is allowed to collapse back into electric storage as it would do naturally once the input current is removed.

A machine tool includes a drive unit driving a tool for machining a workpiece, and a control unit controlling the drive unit. The machine tool further includes an abnormality determining unit that determines whether machining can be continued, based on operation information of the drive unit, and a power failure detection unit that switches the power source of the control unit from a normal power supply unit to an emergency power supply unit if power failure is detected, and switches the power source from the emergency power supply unit to the normal power supply unit if recovery of power supply is detected after power failure. The control unit stops operation of the drive unit when power failure is detected, and thereafter, if recovery of power supply is detected, and the abnormality determining unit determines that machining can be continued, the control unit drives the drive unit, thereby automatically resuming machining.
