Title: Variable speed toggle trigger
Inventor: PUSATERI DANILEL
IPC: H01C10/50
Filed: 2012-09-14
Abstract: A variable speed toggle switch that allows a user to reverse a rotational direction of a motor and supply variable amounts of power to a motor, such as in a power tool, for example, a power drill. A trigger can include a gear segment that meshingly engages a gear on a potentiometer to electrically communicate the actuation direction and actuation amount of the trigger to a microprocessor. The microprocessor can then signal to an H-bridge, or to a series of transistors, the actuation direction and actuation amount of the trigger. A motor or other device can be powered by a power source in an amount corresponding to the actuation amount, and in a direction corresponding to the actuation direction of the trigger.
Patent GB-2516757-A (GB)
Title: Method of controlling of a brushless permanent-magnet motor
Inventor: ZHENG LIBO
IPC: H02P6/14
Filed: 2014-06-10
Abstract: A winding of a brushless permanent-magnet motor is commutated at times relative to zero-crossings of back EMF in the winding. Commutation is advanced when the motor operates over a first speed range, and commutation is retarded when the motor operates over a second speed range higher than that of the first speed range. In the lower speed range commutation may be initially synchronised then advanced while the motor is accelerating. The second speed range may have minimum greater than 50 krpm and span at least 5 krpm. A commutating retardation period can be varied in the second range, increasing in response to 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 in the second range. Commutation can be advanced when operating at a third 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.

IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2015-09-30
Abstract: Analysing network performance of a network comprising a plurality of network nodes the method comprising: obtaining a plurality of probe measurements in respect of a target node s71-73, the probe measurements resulting from probe test-messages being sent via different network paths to said target node and relating to a network performance characteristic (e.g. Round-Trip Time) in respect of the paths taken by the respective probe test-messages and probe response-messages associated therewith and being dependent also on local (internal) processing of the respective probe test-messages at said target node; determining respective measures of unexpectedness in respect of the probe measurements s74; comparing said respective measures of unexpectedness s75 and in dependence on the comparison, assigning a weighting in respect of said target node s77 or s80; and determining a network performance analysis measure in dependence on at least one probe measurement and on the assigned weighting s78. For measurements taken on different paths to the same target node if results on both paths indicate the same unexpected results this can be indicative of an issue with the target node (e.g. its slow-path internal processing) rather than the communication paths. Reliable/unreliable target nodes can be proportionately weighted in determining network performance.

Title: Common coordinate-quartz loop for reducing the impact of shock and vibration on global navigation satellite system measurements
Inventor: VEITSEL ANDREY VLADIMIROVICH
IPC: G01S19/37
Filed: 2013-04-11
Abstract: A navigation receiver operably coupled to an antenna can determine location by receiving and processing radiofrequency navigation signals from global navigation satellites. The navigation receiver includes a quartz crystal oscillator that serves as a reference frequency source for a local oscillator signal that is mixed with the radiofrequency navigation signals to generate intermediate signals at intermediate frequencies lower than the radiofrequencies. In particular applications, the quartz crystal oscillator and the antenna are subjected to vibration and shock. A shift in the frequency or phase of the intermediate signals can result, and performance of phase-lock loops can degrade. Performance is improved with a phase-lock loop that processes a combination of individual channel control signals and common control signals. The common control signals are generated by a common coordinate-quartz loop discriminator that processes signals generated from the entire group of navigation signals received by the navigation receiver.
