Abstract: An apparatus controls treatment of water flowing through a boiler and includes a device that monitors the conductivity of the water. A controller opens a drain valve at periodic intervals, and closes the drain valve when the conductivity drops below a defined threshold. A mechanism measures the volume of water that flows into the boiler and a chemical is added to the water when a specified amount of water has flowed into the boiler. Alternatively the application of the chemical can occur at regular intervals of time. The chemical is applied for a user definable period of time. The application of the chemical is suspended when the cessation of water flow into the boiler is detected.

Abstract: An open loop servo controller for controlling motors which drive a solar energy utilizing device about its azimuth and altitude axis to track the sun. The controller has a central processor and elements for inputting data corresponding with the present day of the year, the hour of the day, the minute of the hour and with the latitude and longitude of the device installation. Memories store program data, and tables of data corresponding with the declination of the sun on any day and of other mathematical functions. The processor uses the data to calculate the azimuth and altitude angles of the sun itself within every minute of the day and causes signals to be produced which result in motor controllers causing the motors to turn the device through azimuth and altitude axes angles corresponding with the calculated angles.

Abstract: An automatic dispenser for a rolled material has a sensor that detects the presence of a user in front of the dispenser. When that occurs, a motor is driven by energy stored in a battery or a capacitor and a short length of the material is dispensed from the roll. The user then grasps that short length and pulls more of the material off the roll, thereby causing the roll to rotate. Rotation of the roll drives the motor as a generator producing electrical energy that recharges the battery or capacitor.

Abstract: A system includes a motor for producing motion when current is supplied to the motor and a motor controller coupled to the motor for receiving a motor current signal indicative of the current supplied to the motor. The motor controller has an analog-to-digital converter for converting the motor current signal to a sampled motor current signal. The motor controller is operable to detect pulses in the sampled motor current signal, count the detected pulses to generate a first pulse count, and determine a run parameter for the motor based on the first pulse count. A method for controlling a motor includes counting a first plurality of pulses in a motor current signal produced while the motor is activated to generate a first pulse count. A second plurality of pulses is counted in the motor current signal produced while the motor is deactivated to generate a second pulse count. A run parameter for the motor is determined based on the first and second pulse counts.

Abstract: A line isolation monitor (LIM) indicates the maximum hazard current of an ungrounded polyphase power distribution system. The LIM is microcontroller based and continuously monitors a fault impedance of the distribution system. The fault impedance is determined by the LIM by injecting a continuous sine wave measurement current into a ground terminal to generate a measurement voltage across the fault impedance. Using the measurement voltage and current, the LIM calculates the fault impedance and, using this impedance, calculates the hazard current based on the maximum line to ground voltage of the ungrounded system. The hazard current is displayed and if it exceeds a predetermined threshold, the LIM will provide audio and visual alarms. A serial communications channel allows the LIM to communicate with other intelligent devices. The LIM has means for self-calibration and self-testing while on-line and during a power-up sequence. Line frequency is also determined by the LIM. Two LIMs can be used to monitor the same distribution system at the same time without interfering with each other.

Abstract: A line isolation monitor (LIM) indicates the maximum hazard current of an ungrounded polyphase power distribution system. The LIM is microcontroller based and continuously monitors a fault impedance for each phase of the distribution system. The fault impedance is determined by the LIM by injecting a continuous sine wave measurement current into a ground terminal to generate a measurement voltage across the fault impedance. Using the measurement voltage and current, the LIM calculates the fault impedance and, using this impedance, calculates the hazard current based on the maximum line to ground voltage of the ungrounded system. The LIM has means for self-calibration and self-testing while on-line and during a power-up sequence. These tests compare measured and theoretical values of circuit parameters of voltage and current sensing circuits. During this calibration check, the monitoring circuits of the LIM are removed from the isolated system and known voltage and current signals are injected internally to the monitoring circuits to verify the component parameters. If the calibration parameters are outside tolerances by a first, low level, the LIM annunciates a warning, but will continue to monitor the hazard current. If the deviation is greater than a second, higher level, the LIM will indicate a fault and remove itself from service.

Abstract: An animal such as a dairy cow carries a transponder unit which includes a motion sensor. When the animal comes within range of a transceiver unit, it is interrogated and the transponder unit transmits data which identifies the animal and indicates the number of movements of the animal. The number of animal movements increase dramatically during estrus and a record is kept on each animal to determine when this occurs. Data received at the transceiver is processed by a microprocessor based system which operates to insure the received data is correct. It also assembles the data and outputs it to a printer.
