Title: Controller for a brushless motor
Inventor: ZHOU YONGJI
IPC: H02P6/18
Filed: 2013-06-13
Abstract: A controller 14 for a brushless motor comprises a PWM module 20, 21configured in half-bridge or full-bridge mode. The PWM module outputs control signals for controlling the excitation of a winding 7 of the motor, and one of the duty cycle and the period of the PWM module defines a time at which the winding is commutated. The other of the duty cycle and the period of the PWM module defines a time at which the winding is freewheeled. The PWM module may output control signals for commutating the winding relative to zero crossings in back emf or rising inductance in the winding at times defined by a phase period, and the duty cycle or the period is defined by the phase period. First and second PWM modules may be provided where the duty cycle or period of the first module is updated in response to a rising edge in a rotor position signal, and the duty cycle or period of the second module is updated in response to a falling edge in the rotor position signal. The arrangement is intended to avoid interrupt clashing as the control signals for commutating the winding are generated by hardware rather than software.

Inventor: WHITFIELD DAVID
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2012-01-18
Abstract: A lighting system (1) has a first lighting circuit (2) configured to provide a first predetermined level of lighting intensity. The first lighting circuit (2) is configured to receive power from a mains electricity supply (3) or from a battery source (4) if the mains supply is unavailable. The first lighting circuit (2) is connected to at least one first Light source (5) and configured, when actuated, to provide lighting at the first predetermined level of lighting intensity. At this time, the first light source is in either an on or off state or a level of light required to raise ambient light level above a predetennined level. The system (1) further has a second lighting circuit (13) configured to provide lighting at least a second predetermined level of lighting intensity. The second lighting circuit (13) is configured to receive power from the mains electricity supply (3) and is connected to at least one second light source (14). The second lighting circuit (13) has at least one sensor (18) with an input such that actuation thereof causes the second light source (14) to provide the second predetermined level of lighting intensity for a predetermined period of time, in response to ambient illumination meeting or exceeding a predetermined intensity, when said sensor has no input or has had no input for a predetermined period of time, or until re-set. In the system (1), the second predetermined level of lighting intensity is greater than said first predetermined level of lighting.

IPC: A01M1/02
Filed: 2014-03-20
Abstract: Apparatus 100 for indicating pest activity, comprising: a power source 104; an activity indicator 106; an activity sensor 102, comprising: a substrate 112 comprising a material which is attractive to a target pest species; a sensing element 114 formed on and/or within the substrate, the sensing element coupled to the power source and the activity indicator, and arranged to output a signal to the activity indicator; wherein the signal is influenced by pest activity on and/or within the substrate; and further wherein the activity indicator is operative to indicate a state of the signal received from the sensing element. The substrate maybe a material suitable for pest harborage such as corrugated cardboard. The sensing element may be a conductive track comprising first 114a and second114b unconnected conductive elements. When a pest, such as a bed bug, excretes fecal matter it will typically contain electrolytes such as blood. Such depositions bridge the gap between the first and second conductive elements and thus trigger the apparatus. A pest activity reporting system incorporating the apparatus and for conveying a state of a signal output by the apparatus to a remote location is also provided.
