    摘要: The present invention provides a method and control scheme to operate a motor-driven actuator. This includes determining actuator force on an external device, determining a command force, and monitoring actuator position. A determination is made whether to operate in a force-control mode or a position-control mode. Both the force-control mode and the position-control mode employ a common feedback control method (e.g. PI or PID). The system operates the actuator in the force-control mode, using actuator force as feedback to the control scheme when the controller determines that the force sensor is operating in its linear range. When the force sensor is operating outside or near the limits of its linear range, the control scheme determines a pseudo-force, comprising estimated force based upon measured position. The pseudo-force is input to the common feedback control method to control the actuator.

    摘要: A brake system and method of controlling the system are disclosed. The system provides secondary hydraulic braking in a de-energized mode. The system includes a wheel brake associated with wheels of a vehicle typically at each corner of the vehicle. The wheel brake typically includes a caliper or drum for deceleration of the vehicle. The system includes a master cylinder in fluid communication with the wheel brake. In the de-energized mode, the master cylinder operates the wheel brake. A solenoid isolation valve decouples the master cylinder from the wheel brake when the system is in a normal, i.e., an energized, mode. As such, the master cylinder is isolated from the wheel brake and is prevented from operating the wheel brake. Alternatively, in the de-energized mode, the isolation valve couples the master cylinder with the wheel brake to provide the secondary hydraulic braking. The system includes an actuator assembly for operation of the wheel brake independent of the master cylinder when the system is in the energized operational mode. A second, normally-closed, solenoid valve opens in the energized mode to couple the actuator assembly with the wheel brake. The second solenoid valve closes in the de-energized mode to isolate the actuator assembly from the wheel brake such that the secondary hydraulic braking is provided through the master cylinder.

    摘要: In a traceback unit for an M-step Viterbi decoder for a convolutionally encoded data stream, each of the traceback stages has a group of K input wires representing K possible candidate states. A bank of K multiplexers selects one of 2.sup.M of the input wires according to M bits of traceback data. The K multiplexer outputs feed a succeeding traceback stage. M groups of K wires carry the traceback data, with each wire being connected to a selection line of each multiplexer. At the output of the traceback unit an identification circuit identifies a subgroup of the K possibilities which has a maximum number of candidate states remaining therein. The arrangement obviates the need for retiming between every traceback stage.
