Title: A method and controller for controlling an electric motor
Inventor: TIM JOHN MARTIN
IPC: H02P29/024
Filed: 2016-08-01
Abstract: A controller for placing an electric motor in a short circuit condition comprises receiving a command to place the electric motor in a short circuit mode; varying a limit A to an available pulse width modulation depth for controlling current flow in the electric motor to a predetermined value over a predetermined time period or at a predetermined rate of change; wherein, upon the pulse width modulation depth limit being varied to the predetermined value, the electric motor is placed in the short circuit mode. The motor may be placed in a short circuit mode to avoid high back EMF voltages appearing on the positive power bus rail if a fault occurs in electric motor system. During the transitioning of the motor to the active short circuit mode the arrangement allows inductive current generated by the electric motor windings to increase at a controlled rate to prevent high peak current. The electric motor may be for use in a vehicle, particularly for use in a wheel of a vehicle.

Title: Intermodulation test method and apparatus
Inventor: SIMON GALE
IPC: H04B17/13
Filed: 2017-01-31
Abstract: The location of at least one passive intermodulation (PIM) source in a frequency selective device 2 is identified by applying 3 an excitation waveform to the frequency selective device, measuring 7 a PIM response signature of the frequency selective device, the PIM response signature being a characteristic of PIM produced in response to the excitation waveform, and comparing 8 the measured PIM response signature with example PM response signatures. Each example PIM response signature corresponds to a characteristic of PIM expected for a respective location of a PIM source in the frequency selective device. Hence, a source of PIM, such as a faulty, rusted or damaged connector, contact or coupling, within a frequency selective device 2, such as a filter, duplexer, combiner or antenna, may be located.

Title: System and methods for joining datasets
Inventor: NICHOLAS HALSTEAD
IPC: G06F16/24
Filed: 2017-08-11
Abstract: An intermediate mapping entity storing association between the keys of a first type used for a first dataset and a second type used for the second dataset is selected based on the intersection weight (the proportion of overlapping data entries) between the first and second data sets.

Abstract: A non-interferometric method of manufacturing a diffractive optical device comprises providing a photo-modifiable layer 2 and controlling a spatial light modulation (SLM) device 11 to display a first fringe pattern corresponding to a first diffractive effect. The SLM 11 may be a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) device or a digital light projection (DLP) micro-mirror device with a display surface 11a comprising a 2D arrays of pixels. An optical system 12 illuminates the SLM with a first pulse of light from a light source 13 (e.g. a pulsed laser source) to cause the first fringe pattern to be projected onto a first region of the photo-modifiable layer 2, modifying it such that it reproduces the first diffractive effect. SLM 11 may be controlled 15 to display second and subsequent different fringe patterns in order to produce second and subsequent diffractive effects. Regions of the photo-modifiable layer modified by each different fringe pattern are laterally offset from each other. An alternative interferometric method of manufacturing a diffractive optical device is also disclosed wherein an object beam is reflected off the SLM and caused to interfere with a reference beam in the vicinity of the photo-modifiable layer to modify it in accordance with a resultant interference pattern and thus produce a diffraction effect (figure 9). The methods may be used to produce security elements for incorporation in documents such as banknotes, passports, driving licences, identification cards or the like. The diffractive effects produced may be holographic images of an object.
