Patent GB-2515087-A (GB)
Title: Method of controlling of a brushless permanent-magnet motor
Inventor: CELIK TUNCAY
IPC: H02P6/14
Filed: 2013-06-13
Abstract: A winding of a brushless permanent-magnet motor is commutated at times that are retarded relative to zero-crossings of back EMF in the winding when operating at speeds greater than 50 krpm. Commutation can be retarded when operating over speed range spanning at least 5 krpm. A commutating retardation period can be varied in response to a winding excitation supply voltage or the speed of the motor. The retard period can increase with an increase of the supply voltage and/or a decrease in speed. An electrical half cycle can be divided into a conduction period, when the winding is excited, followed by a freewheel period. The conduction period can be further divided into an excitation period, a second freewheel period and a further excitation period. Commutation can be advanced when operating at a higher speed range, using higher power, than a range over which it is retarded, using constant power. The high speed range and the low speed range can each span at least 5 krpm.

Inventor: RICHARD HOAD
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2016-01-21
Abstract: Electromagnetic interference indicator comprises an ultra-wideband detector having a 30 MHz to 6 GHz bandwidth, an antenna having receiver protection, a logarithmic receiver to convert EMI signals into a DC voltage proportional to EMI signal magnitude and peak and average detectors. A controller generates a signal when the direct voltage exceeds a threshold using an algorithm and may activate indicating means, e.g. light emitting diode, audible means or a buzzer. EMI event data stored in non-volatile memory may be time stamped and correlated with malfunction events of electronic systems. The antenna may be a curved or hemispherical spiral having a large conductive area to provide screening and printed on a flexible PCB. Specific threat frequencies or emerging new threats outside of the present bandwidth may be detected. An externally-derived GPS or GNSS timing signal may be used to aid tamper detection by detecting a change in co-ordinates when the detector has been moved. The indicator may discriminate between EMI signals with high peak power, e.g. ultra-wideband waveforms, and high instantaneous average power content, e.g. narrowband and CW waveforms. Ambient EMI may be monitored in a survey mode.
