Abstract: In described examples, one or more devices include: apparatus including a lens element and a transducer to vibrate the lens element at an operating frequency when operating in an activated state; and controller circuitry. The controller circuitry is arranged to measure an impedance of the apparatus, to determine an estimated temperature of the apparatus in response to the measured impedance, to compare the estimated temperature against a temperature threshold for delineating an operating temperature range of the apparatus, and to toggle an activation state of the transducer in response to comparing the estimated temperature against the temperature threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed examples include heart rate monitor systems and methods to estimate a patient heart rate, in which a processor filters digital photoplethysmogram (PPG) sample values representing transmission or reflection of a light signal in the patient during a time window, performs motion compensation processing on the filtered values, computes a gain value for individual segments of the time window using the motion compensated values, applies the individual gain values to the motion compensated values of blocks associated with the corresponding segments, and determines a heart rate estimate value representing the patient heart rate according to the frequency content of the adjusted values.

Abstract: A permanent magnet motor controller injects a periodic signal into a field oriented controller of the brushless motor. Phase currents in stator windings of the brushless motor are measured. A d-axis current and a q-axis current are determined with a transform of the phase currents. The d-axis current and the q-axis current are demodulated to extract an angle dependent current signature that includes a sine component of a rotor angle estimate and a cosine component of the rotor angle estimate. The rotor angle estimate is determined by processing the sine component and cosine component.

Abstract: An adaptive torque disturbance cancellation method and motor control system for rotating a load are described. The system has: (i) a speed controller for receiving a first input signal indicating a desired motor speed and, in response, for outputting a motor control signal; (ii) current sensing circuitry for sensing current through a motor that rotates in response to the speed controller; (iii) circuitry for storing, into a storage device, history data representative of the current through a motor when the motor operates to rotate the load; and (iv) circuitry for modifying the motor control signal in response to the history data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using two stage ultrasonic lens cleaning for water removal are disclosed. An apparatus can expel fluid from a droplet on an optical surface using an ultrasonic transducer mechanically coupled to the optical surface and having first and second resonant frequency bands. A signal generator can generate a first signal including a first frequency to be coupled with the ultrasonic transducer mechanically coupled to the surface, and can generate a second signal including a second frequency to be coupled with the ultrasonic transducer mechanically coupled to the surface. Switching circuitry can activate the ultrasonic transducer at the first frequency to reduce the droplet from a first size to a second size, and to activate the ultrasonic transducer at the second frequency to reduce the droplet from the second size to a third size.

Abstract: A motor control system for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) uses two linear Hall devices to produce a first signal indicative of a strength of a first magnetic field component produced by a set of rotor magnets and to simultaneously produce a second signal indicative of a strength of second magnetic field component produced by the rotor magnets that is approximately orthogonal to the first magnetic field component. An angular position and angular velocity of the rotor is calculated based on the first signal and the second signal. A plurality of phase signals is produced based on the calculated angular position and angular velocity. Current in a plurality of field windings of the motor is controlled using the plurality of phase signals.

Abstract: A method of regenerative braking includes providing an electric motor including at least one stator and a rotor, a speed of the rotor, a motor controller that regulates a current level in the stator winding, a power inverter which controls an energy flow to the stator terminal, and an energy storage system (ESS) which exchanges energy with the motor. A battery management circuit is between the power inverter and the ESS, and a processor has an associated memory storing a regenerative braking (RB) algorithm. The RB algorithm during braking causes the motor controller to execute determining an RB torque value from the rotor speed that maximizes regenerative braking current, and the power inverter is used to redirect the RB current to maximize a power transfer from the motor to the ESS.

Abstract: Low speed and high speed estimates of rotor angle and speed relative to the stator are received from a low speed estimator and a high speed estimator, respectively. LS_θ_EST and a subset of torque-controlling I_Q trajectory curve (“IQTC”) parameter values appropriate to low speed rotor operation are selected for rotor speeds below a low speed threshold value ω_LOW_THRS. HS_θ_EST and a subset of IQTC curve parameter values appropriate to high speed rotor operation are selected for rotor speeds above a high speed threshold value ω_HIGH_THRS. LS_θ_EST and the low speed subset of IQTC parameter values remain selected for rotor speeds less than ω_HIGH_THRS after accelerating to a rotor speed greater than ω_LOW_THRS. HS_θ_EST and the subset of high speed IQTC parameter values remain selected for rotor speeds greater than ω_LOW_THRS after decelerating to a rotor speed less than ω_HIGH_THRS.

Abstract: A method of ultrasound flow metering includes applying a first and second pulse train to an ultrasound transducer pair (T1, T2) positioned for coupling ultrasonic waves therebetween. Responsive to the first pulse train applied to T1, T1 transmits an ultrasonic wave received as received ultrasonic wave (R12) by T2 after propagating through fluid in a pipe. Responsive to the second pulse train applied to T2, T2 transmits an ultrasonic wave received as received ultrasonic wave by (R21) T1 after propagating through the fluid. During the pulse trains, R12 and R21 build up in amplitude to provide excitation portions. The pulse trains are terminated, so that R12 and R21 decay as a damped free oscillation. Windowing is applied to R12 and R21 to generate windowed portions. A signal delay between t12 and t21 (ΔTOF) is calculated using only windowed portions, and a fluid flow is calculated from the ΔTOF.
