Title: Control of step-based systems
Inventor: IAN HOLMES
IPC: H02P8/22
Filed: 2019-02-22
Abstract: A control system for a of step-based system, such as stepper motor, where a table of actuator values is stored. Minimum to maximum actuator values for a controlled parameter are stored so that the change of state of the system from one state of control to the next is defined by differences in the controlled parameter between adjacent entries of the table. A stepper motor control system comprises a storage location for a table of values relating achievable speeds to positions for the motor, starting from stationary, where the positions are adjacent steps in the motor movement (e.g. rotation). A controller ascertains the position of the motor and receives or generates data concerning a waypoint, being a desired future position and speed for the motor. The controller raises, lowers or maintains the speed of the motor at each step by reference to the table, such that when the motor reaches the desired position it is moving (e.g. rotating) at the desired speed. The stepper motor system may be used to transport articles, such as labels and other substrates, on a web during printing processes. The step-based system may be a heater that applies energy in quantised amounts.

Title: Burst disc housing and cover
Inventor: MARK P WHITE
IPC: H01M50/342
Filed: 2020-03-18
Abstract: A pressure operated vent for a battery pack comprises a rigid disc housing 12 having an inner seal 20 and an outer seal 46. The housing is arranged to be fixed to the inside of the battery pack outer wall. The outer seal is arranged to be compressed between the inside surface of the battery pack wall and the disc housing to form a gas-tight seal. The vent also comprises a frangible disc arranged to rupture when a pressure differential between an inner side and an outer side exceeds a pre-determined threshold. The disc is mounted over the inner seal of the disc housing to compress the inner seal and thereby effect a gas-tight seal. The disc housing defines an aperture 54 adjacent the disc forming a passage for vent gases when the disc ruptures. The inner and/or outer seal may be located in a recess in the disc housing surface to prevent excessive compression of the seal, for example the inner seal 20 may be located in an annular groove (24, Fig 7A). A cover 42 may stand clear of the outer wall of the battery pack such that there is a gap for the escape of gases.
