Abstract: In a device for controlling a motor mounted on a system with different operation modes, a controller unit calculates an input value for the motor based on an output value of the motor and a target value depending on operation modes of the system, and instructs a driver circuit of the motor to apply the input value to the motor. An estimation unit estimates an amount of rise in temperature of the motor by applying the input value for the motor to a thermal model of the motor. A notification unit compares a value estimated by the estimation unit with a threshold value. When the estimated value exceeds the threshold value, the notification unit sends a request for change of operation mode to the system.

Abstract: An image forming device includes: a transfer unit transferring a toner image to a sheet; a resistance measurement member disposed on the upstream side in a sheet carriage direction of the transfer unit and for measuring resistance of the sheet; a charge elimination member disposed between the transfer unit and the resistance measurement member in the sheet carriage direction; a first voltage applying unit applying voltage for resistance measurement to the resistance measurement member; and a second voltage applying unit applying voltage of reverse bias of the voltage for resistance measurement to the charge elimination member. The width of a charge elimination region by the charge elimination member is wider than that of a charged region by the resistance measurement member in a direction perpendicular to the sheet carriage direction. The absolute value of the voltage for charge elimination is smaller than that of the voltage for resistance measurement.

Abstract: A method for controlling a permanent magnet synchronous motor having a rotor using a permanent magnet, the rotor rotating by a rotating magnetic field caused by a current flowing through an armature is provided. The method includes: presuming, based on a target speed and an estimated speed that is an estimated value of a rotational speed of the rotor, whether or not a step-out occurs; correcting, when it is presumed that a step-out occurs, an estimated angle that is an estimated value of a position of magnetic poles of the rotor; and controlling, based on a post-correction estimated angle that is the estimated angle after the correction, a current flowing through the armature to cause the rotating magnetic field rotating at the target speed.
