    Abstract: An electrical cable includes a first wire conductor separated from a second wire conductor and a compensation area proximate to, but separated from, an end portion of the cable and a method of manufacturing such an electrical cable. The first and second wire conductors are each connected to a contact element. The first and second wire conductors are separated by a first distance within the compensation area. The first and second wire conductors are separated by a second distance outside of the compensation area. The first distance is less than the second distance, thereby decreasing an impedance of the cable within the compensation area.

    Abstract: A connector includes a first-housing, a second-housing, a shroud, and a stacked-gear. The first-housing defines a guide-slot. The second-housing mates with the first-housing. The second-housing includes a linear-gear-rack extending from a second-outer-surface and engages the guide-slot. The shroud is moveable from an unmated-position to a mated-position. The shroud is longitudinally slideably mounted to and surrounding at least a portion of the first-housing. The shroud also includes a curved-gear-rack having a variable-pitch-radius. The stacked-gear is moveably mounted to the first-housing. The stacked-gear has a round-gear and a cam-gear having the variable-pitch-radius in communication with the round-gear. The round-gear engages the linear-gear-rack within the guide-slot. The cam-gear engages the curved-gear-rack such that the cam-gear moves in response to a movement of the shroud from the unmated-position to the mated-position. Rotation of the round-gear engaged with the linear-gear-rack axially pulls the linear-gear-rack into the guide-slot, thereby pulling the second-housing into the first-housing.

    Abstract: A motor control system includes a shaft configured to be rotationally driven by a motor. A rotor position sensor is configured to detect rotation of the shaft and output a rotor position signal. A controller is in communication with the motor and the rotor position sensor. The controller converts the rotor position signal to an angle with error, tracks the angle with error to provide an angle that retains mechanical dynamics as stationary reference frame signals, transforms the stationary reference frame signals and the angle with mechanical dynamics to rotating reference frame signals, filters the rotating reference frame signals, transforms the filtered rotating reference frame signals to provide filtered stationary frame signals, and takes an arctangent of the filtered stationary reference frame signals to create a corrected motor control angle. The controller commands the motor based upon the corrected motor control angle.
