    Abstract: Embodiments of systems for calibrating transducer-including devices include a board support structure, one or more motors, a motor control module, and a calibration control module. The board support structure holds a calibration board in a fixed position with respect to the board support structure. The motor(s) rotate the board support structure around one or more axes of a fixed coordinate system. The motor control module sends motor control signals to the motor(s) to cause the motor(s) to move the board support structure through a series of orientations with respect to the fixed coordinate system. The calibration control module sends, through a communication structure, signals to the transducer-including devices, which are loaded into a plurality of sockets of the calibration board. The signals cause the transducer-including devices to generate transducer data while the board support structure is in or moving toward each orientation of the series of orientations.

    Abstract: There is provided an electric power steering device capable of detecting steering torque with high accuracy without use of a torque sensor, and capable of performing appropriate steering assistance control. An alternative torque correction value (Tc) is operated by comparing alternative torque (T0) operated based on an angle signal at normal time of the torque sensor (3) with a torque detection value (Ti) detected by the torque sensor (3), and is then stored. Then, at normal time of the torque sensor (3), the steering assistance control is performed based on the torque detection value (Ti) detected by the torque sensor (3), whereas when an abnormality happens in the torque sensor (3), the steering assistance control is performed based on corrected alternative torque (T1) obtained by correcting the alternative torque (T0) by the alternative torque correction value (Tc).

    Abstract: The electronic balance has a load detector for supporting a scale pan and outputting the load value of a load placed on the scale pan. A weight change calculating program calculates changes in the weight of a sample to be measured based on sample load measurement values ouput from the load detector when the sample is placed on the scale pan at two different points in time and load-free measurement values output from the load detector in the load-free state before and after the respective sample load measurements values are output. Also, minute changes in the weight of a light-weight sample are measured accurately since the load-free weight is measured before and after sample measurements even if the sensitivity or zero drift changes due to changes in the environment conditions, and the sample weight is further corrected using measurements of the load of a reference weight.

    Abstract: An abnormality diagnosing method is provided for a torque detecting device and an electric power steering device is provided using the torque detecting device. Immediately after the power supply is turned on and before steering auxiliary control is started, initial diagnosis is performed to determine that each monitoring block for monitoring an abnormality of a signal processing circuit constituting a torque detecting device operates normally. The initial diagnosis determines that a monitoring block is operating normally, by inputting a normal signal and an abnormal signal to the monitoring block alternately, and finding that the monitoring block carries out normal diagnosis when it receives the normal signal and that it carries out abnormal diagnosis when it receives the abnormal signal. Once all of the monitoring blocks are determined as normal, the steering auxiliary control based on a steering torque detected by the torque detecting device is started.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electronic torque tool, a calibration fixture, and a method for calibrating the electronic torque tool. The calibration includes applying a torque to the torque wrench and releasing the applied torque once the applied torque reaches a full scale calibration torque. The calibration fixture holds and displays a peak value of the applied torque and the torque wrench holds and displays a measured peak value of the applied torque. The measured peak value on the torque wrench may then be adjusted, by incrementing or decrementing the displayed value, to match the peak value displayed on the calibration fixture.
