Abstract: A braking circuit is proposed for an electric motor, especially for driving electric hand tools such as drills, angle grinders, hedge trimmers and the like, having a brake switch which consists of two changeover switches S1, S2. In the motor mode, a field winding (1) of the electric motor is connected to the supply voltage via the two changeover switches S1, S2 in series with the armature winding (5), so that a motor circuit is formed. In the braking mode, the field winding (1) forms a closed braking circuit with the armature winding (5), via the two changeover switches S1, S2. For this purpose, one changeover switch S1 is connected by means of one switching contact to that connection of the field winding (1) which is adjacent to the mains power supply and switches between a connection (2) to the supply voltage and a first connection to the braking circuit. The other changeover S2 is connected by means of one switching contact to the connection of the field winding (1) which is remote from the mains power supply and switches between the connection to the armature winding (5) and a second connection to the braking circuit. During the changeover from the motor mode to the braking mode, the two changeover switches S1, S2 open the motor circuit essentially synchronously and, subsequently, the switching contact of the changeover switch S1 which is close to the mains power supply is moved in a delayed manner with respect to the switching contact of the changeover switch S2 which is remote from the mains power supply, so that the braking circuit is later connected to the changeover switch S1 which is close to the mains power supply. During the changeover from the braking mode to the motor mode, both changeover switches S1, S2 open essentially synchronously and their switching contacts are moved without any delay, so that they essentially connect the motor circuit simultaneously. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention provides automatic and reliable determination of the touch point of a clutch controlled by an automatic clutch actuation controller. This invention determines the touch point upon power-up while idling the engine, with the transmission in neutral and an input shaft brake applied. The clutch actuation controller gradually engages the clutch so that the measured transmission input speed matches a reference speed signal preferably between 40% and 60% of the idle speed. If the actuation is slow enough, this reliably provides the degree of clutch engagement at a small torque matching the braking torque which is the touch point. If there is no previous knowledge of the touch point, the clutch is applied at a fast rate and an approximate touch point is determined, then the clutch is positioned below the approximate touch point and is again applied at a slow rate to more accurately ascertain the touch point. If there is previous knowledge of the touch point, the clutch is positioned just below the old touch point and is applied at a slow rate to determine a new touch point. The new and old touch points may be combined to determine the updated touch point.

Abstract: In a modular multiplication circuit which operates under the conditions 0 < N < 2", 0 ≦ A, B < 2N, R = 2 n+2 , a first multiplier performs multiplication between input values A and B. A second multiplier performs multiplication between the output of the first multiplier and [-(N -1  mod R)], which is decided by set parameters N and R, and outputs M. A third multiplier performs multiplication between the output M and the set parameter N and outputs the product M x N. An adder adds the output of the first multiplier and the output of the third multiplier, and a shift register shifts the sum leftward by n+2 bits. Thus, an output P = (A x B + M x N)/R is produced.
