Abstract: A brushless DC motor is controlled by determining a speed of the motor and a
line voltage supplying drivers of the motor. Based upon these determined values and
predetermined motor performance data, a maximum PWM on-time is determined for
drive signals supplied to windings of the motor. This maximum PWM on-time thereby
limits motor torque output to a predetermined maximum. Stopping the motor is
performed in sequential phases including a loaded generator phase, an active braking
phase and a holding phase. During holding, the amount of energy supplied to the motor
is reduced to the point just before slippage such that holding energy is minimized. Upon
power failure, the motor is driven toward a spring return home position overcoming
static friction that may prevent the spring return mechanism from functioning properly.
These techniques are applied to a motor in an actuator.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for generating a
statistical class sequence model called class bi-multigram
model from input strings of discrete-valued units, where
bigram dependencies are assumed between adjacent variable
length sequences of maximum length N units, and where class
labels are assigned to the sequences. There are counted
the number of times all sequences of units occur and the
number of times all pairs of sequences of units co-occur in
the input training strings of units, and an initial bigram
probability distribution of all the pairs of sequences is
computed as the counted number of times the two sequences
co-occur divided by the counted number of times the first
sequence occurs in the input training string. Then the
input sequences are classified into a pre-specified desired
number of classes. Further, an estimate of the bigram
probability distribution of the sequences is calculated by
using an EM algorithm to maximize the likelihood of the
input training string computed with the input probability
distributions, and the above processes are iteratively
performed to generate a statistical class sequence model.

Abstract: A profile of a rack that may have zero, one, or a plurality of containers
may be obtained using an ultrasonic sensor. The sensor emits a plurality of
ultrasonic bursts and the rack is transported under the sensor at a slow speed that
allows the sensor to detect at least first and second echoes from each of the
bursts. Data points, corresponding to each of the frst and second echoes, are
generated and the data points are captured in a memory device. The data points,
generally reflecting the levels of the rack and any containers, are processed to
dynamically and non-invasively ( i.e ., without physically contacting the liquid with
a probe) determine information about the container types, whether any container
is capped, and, if one or more containers are uncapped, the liquid level in the
uncapped containers. This profiling may be used in a variety of devices and is
particularly useful in a sample handler in an automated analytical instrument,
where the ultrasonic sensor may be positioned above a rack transport mechanism.
