    Abstract: A self-mixing interferometer configured to monitor particulate material within a monitored region of space comprising a laser cavity assembly (1A) and an optical assembly (1B) configured to bathe the monitored region with laser light of the interferometer possessing wavefronts having different directions at different respective locations within the monitored region. A laser monitoring unit (1C) is configured to acquire an interferometric signal generated by the interferometer in response to light returned to the laser cavity assembly from said wavefronts by said particulate material. A processing module (1D) is configured to determine a property of the particulate material within the monitored region according to changes in the frequency of a waveform within at least a part of the interferometric signal.

    Abstract: A method of determining the parked position of a rotor of a permanent-magnet motor, including applying a first voltage to a phase winding of the motor, measuring a first parameter, removing the first voltage, waiting for current in the phase winding to decrease to zero, applying a second voltage having the opposite polarity, measuring a second parameter, comparing the first parameter and the second parameter, and determining that the rotor is in a first parked position if the first parameter is less than the second parameter, and that the rotor is in a second parked position if the first parameter is greater than the second parameter. The first parameter and the second parameter each correspond to one of (i) the time taken for current in the phase winding to exceed a threshold, and (ii) the magnitude of current in the phase winding at the end of a time interval.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a brushless permanent-magnet motor. The method includes generating a first signal having a voltage that is proportional to a voltage across a winding of the motor, and generating a second signal having a voltage that is proportional to a current in the winding. The second signal is then differentiated to generate a third signal, and the voltages of the first signal and the third signal are compared. An output signal is generated in response to the comparison, the output signal having an edge whenever the voltages of the first signal and the third signal correspond. The winding is then commutated at times relative to the edges in the output signal. Additionally, a control system that implements the method, and a motor system that incorporates the control system.
