    摘要: The present method provides a method for avoiding singularities in the movement of CMGs in an array of CMGs in a spacecraft. In a first step, a torque command representing a desired torque to produce an attitude adjustment for the spacecraft is received. Next, a range-space gimbal rate required to produce the desired torque based on the desired torque and a Jacobian matrix is calculated. Then, a null-space gimbal rate that assists in the avoidance of singularities is calculated. The total gimbal rate command is determined by summing the range-space gimbal rate and the null-space gimbal rate. Then, the total gimbal rate command is provided to the CMGs to produce the total gimbal rate.

    摘要: A novel food server and method of producing a food server is disclosed. The novel method includes moving a web of paper at a constant rate of speed, rotary perforating a plurality of lines on the moving web, using rotary timing belts to score at least two fold lines on the moving web, where the two fold lines define two glue flaps, rotary die-cutting the moving web to cut away portions of the paper adjacent the glue flaps, plow folding the moving web along the two fold lines defining the glue flaps, and applying glue to the moving web. After plow folding along the fold lines and applying the glue, the moving web is cross cut to form a blank having the glue flaps. Then, the blank is vacuum folded to cause portions of the blank to contact and adhere to the glue flaps, thereby forming the food server from the blank. The novel food server includes a first panel having two side flaps each defined by a score line, and a second panel having two side flaps each defined by a score line. Each of the side flaps on the second panel has an outside portion and an inside portion defined by a score line. There is adhesive between each of the outside portions and each of the side flaps on the first panel, thereby providing that the first panel is adhered to the second panel to form the food server.

    摘要: A dual mode vibration isolator for reducing transmission of vibrations between a forward body and an aft body includes a mounting member positioned between the forward and aft bodies, a plurality of magnetic actuators each having an armature fixed to the forward body and a stator mounted on the mounting member, and a plurality of linear actuators pivotally connected between the aft body and the mounting member. The magnetic actuators support the forward body relative to the mounting member by magnetically supporting the armatures between paired stator cores in each stator. The magnetic actuators are controlled, preferably through local flux feedback loops, to permit the stators to vibrate relative to the armature without transmitting forces to the armatures, thus isolating the vibration of the aft body and mounting member from the forward body. The linear actuators extend and contract to reposition the forward body and mounting member relative to the aft body. In addition, the linear actuators provide supplemental vibration isolation through a followup isolation loop that detects variation of the armatures from a predetermined null position between the paired stator cores. The followup isolation loop moves the mounting member relative to the aft body to restore the armatures to their null positions. The assistance provided by the linear actuators enables the use of small-size magnetic actuators for a given force requirement. A method for isolating vibration from transmission between two bodies also is disclosed.

The attitude control system is configured to receive a command to adjust an orientation of the spacecraft, determine an offset for a momentum disk for each of the two or more sets of CMGs that maximizes torque, determine a momentum needed from the two or more sets of CMGs to adjust the orientation of the spacecraft, and calculate a total torque needed by taking the derivative of the momentum. The control system further comprises a momentum actuator control processor coupled to the attitude control system, the momentum actuator control processor configured to calculate a required gimbal movement for each of the CMGs in each of the two or more sets of collinear CMGs from total torque.

    摘要: An apparatus for providing a signal representative of armature displacement in a magnetic bearing assembly for a magnetic suspension system, of the type having a force sensor applied in a closed loop to provide a linear response with respect to an input force command signal. Signals representative of currents applied to the magnetizing coils and of the sensed force are used to derive the armature displacement signal. The signal so derived is applied to modulate the magnetic flux and obviates the need for proximity devices for sensing armature displacement. A circuit for generating the armature displacement signal is provided.
