Claim 29:
30. A system that dampens torsional oscillation of an object that rotates in a horizontal plane, the system comprising:
a securement mechanism that is configured to suspend the object in the horizontal plane;
a motor that is operably coupled to the securement mechanism such that, when the motor acts on the securement mechanism, the object rotates in the horizontal plane; and
an electronic module that is communicatively coupled to the motor control and comprises:
a motor control that is operably coupled to the motor and is configured to operate the motor based on at least one input
a memory that is disposed within the housing and is configured to store a mass-dependent value of the object; and
a processor that is disposed within the housing and is configured to:
receive the mass-dependent value of the object and store the mass-dependent value of the object in the memory,
calculate a torsional oscillation dampening signal using an algorithm that is based at least in part on the mass-dependent value of the object, and
transmit the torsional oscillation dampening signal to the motor control;

wherein, when the motor control executes the torsional oscillation dampening signal, the motor control dampens torsional oscillation of the object rotating in the horizontal plane.
