    • Power is provided to the stator windings of an AC machine which includes a component at the fundamental drive frequency for the machine and a superimposed signal component which is at a substantially higher frequency than the drive power. The rotor has saliencies which result in a change in impedance as seen at the stator windings to the high frequency excitation signal as a periodic function of rotor rotational position. Such saliencies are inherent in some permanent magnet synchronous and all synchronous reluctance machines, and may be provided by appropriate modification of the rotor of induction machines. The stator response at the signal frequency is then detected to provide a correlation between the response at the signal frequency and the rotor position. The detection of the response at the signal frequency is preferably carried out by a heterodyne detection process, by mixing signals at the signal frequency with the measured stator currents, and filtering the mixed signals to isolate the signal indicative of the rotor position. Conventional squirrel cage induction motors can be provided with sufficient spatial variations in the stator winding impedance as a function of rotor position in various ways, including varying the depth and/or width of the slots over the rotor conductive bars, by varying the cross-section of the bars, or by filling or partially filling some of the slots.
    • 电力被提供给交流电机的定子绕组,其包括用于机器的基本驱动频率的分量和比驱动功率高得多的叠加信号分量。 转子具有导致在定子绕组处看到的阻抗变化与高频激励信号的变化,作为转子旋转位置的周期函数。 一些永磁同步和所有同步磁阻电机都是固有的这种效能,并且可以通过感应电机的转子的适当修改来提供。 然后检测信号频率处的定子响应,以提供信号频率响应与转子位置之间的相关性。 在信号频率处的响应的检测优选地通过外差检测处理来进行,通过将信号频率处的信号与所测量的定子电流混合,并且对混合信号进行滤波以隔离指示转子位置的信号。 传统的鼠笼式感应电动机可以以各种方式作为转子位置的函数在定子绕组阻抗中提供足够的空间变化,包括通过改变横截面来改变转子导电杆上的槽的深度和/或宽度 或通过填充或部分填充一些槽。

    • A multiple axis machine includes a plurality of servo-motors that produce movement of a member in at least two axes. The servo-motors are controlled by a computer which runs a simulation of a line shaft power train for producing movement of the member. Specifically, characteristics of a line shaft for powering the machine are defined along with characteristics of a pair of mechanical linkages with dynamically variable kinematics that are driven by the line shaft to produce movement along the two axes. The computer simulates a virtual line shaft using the line shaft characteristics and produces an angular acceleration, an angular velocity and an angular position of the virtual line shaft. The computer also simulates a pair of virtual mechanical linkages with dynamically variable kinematics based upon the linkage characteristics, and based on the angular acceleration, angular velocity and angular position of the virtual line shaft. The simulations produce control signals that operate actuators for each axis of the machine, and produce dynamically variable kinematic feedback force signals which are applied to the simulation of the virtual line shaft to simulate dynamically variable kinematic forces exerted by the mechanical linkages on the virtual line shaft.

    • An optical triangulation probe is provided for measuring the distance and inclination of a surface. A light source is utilized for projecting a beam toward the surface to form a light spot on the surface. The image of the light spot is reflected and formed on a light detector means which produces a signal representation of the image intensity distribution of the light spot image and the location of the image on the detector means. Estimating means utilizes the signal representation of the light spot image and a signal representation of a theoretical image to estimate the location of the light spot image on the detector means. The distance of the surface and its inclination as established upon making the estimation due to the known triangulation relationship between the location of the light spot image on the detector means and the location of the light spot on the surface.

    • A DC-to-DC, converter that can reduce a loss of the converter is provided. The DC-to-DC converter includes an inductor, a switching transistor connected to the inductor, and a controller that drives the transistor. The controller acquires a next step reference value for the DC-to-DC converter in a sampling time Ta. The next step reference value is expressed by an output voltage of the DC-to-DC converter or a flux linkage of the inductor. The controller determines interpolating points between a current state value that corresponds to the current reference value and the next step reference value in a sampling time Ts that is shorter than the sampling time Ta based on a loss of the DC-to-DC converter while changing from the current state value to the next step reference value. The controller supplies to the switching transistor the PWM signals with a duty that corresponds to each of the interpolating points.

    • A sensor tip (10) for use in a robotic hand has a three-dimensional compliant elastomeric body (12) with an outer boundary (22) having a circular base (24) and a convex surface (26) extending therefrom. Four strain transducers (14, 16, 18, and 20) produce electrical signals indicative of the strain at various positions near the boundary of the elastomeric body (12) resulting from forces exerted upon the sensor tip (10) by an object which the robotic hand is manipulating. The transducers (14, 16, 18, and 20) are positioned about the convex surface (26) so as to produce signals that may be decoupled to determine the normal and tangential forces and the applied torque. A buffer amplifier circuit (34), one for each of the transducers (14, 16, 18, and 20), receives the signals and provides quasi-steady state force information. The circuit (34) connects the respective transducer (40) in a feedback loop around an amplifier (36) and has desirable attributes for static charge buffering. The sensor tip (10) is calibrated to determine proportionality constants for the decoupling algorithm for use of a force delivering system (60), which uses voice coils (74) to apply a force that is linearly related to the current introduced to each of the coils (74). A method of manufacture of the sensor tip (10) results in improved bonding between the transducers (14, 16, 18, and 20) and the elastomeric body (12) for better performance and longer life of the sensor tip (10).
