Abstract:
A method and computer program product for defining a PWM drive signal having a defined voltage potential. The PWM drive signal has a plurality of “on” portions and a plurality of “off” portions that define a first duty cycle for regulating, at least in part, a flow rate of a pump assembly. At least a portion of the “on” portions of the PWM drive signal are pulse width modulated to define a second duty cycle for the at least a portion of the “on” portions of the PWM drive signal. The second duty cycle regulates, at least in part, the percentage of the defined voltage potential applied to the pump assembly.

Claim (Index 10):
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:\n defining a PWM drive signal having a defined voltage potential, wherein the PWM drive signal has a plurality of \u201con\u201d portions and a plurality of \u201coff\u201d portions that define a first duty cycle for regulating, at least in part, a flow rate of a pump assembly associated with a micro-ingredient subsystem; pulse width modulating at least a portion of the \u201con\u201d portions of the PWM drive signal to define a second duty cycle for the at least a portion of the \u201con\u201d portions of the PWM drive signal, wherein the pump assembly is regulated by the second duty cycle in order to control a flow through the pump assembly; and measuring a second flow generated by a plumbing/control subsystem using a flow measuring device.
