Abstract: A resolver system includes a rotatable primary winding, a secondary winding fixed relative to the rotatable primary winding, a tertiary winding fixed relative to the rotatable primary winding and positioned π/2 radians out of phase with respect to the fixed secondary winding, an excitation module electrically connected to the rotatable primary winding and configured to provide an excitation signal to the rotatable primary winding where the excitation signal is an alternating current waveform having a fundamental frequency, and a controller electrically connected to the secondary winding and configured to sample a voltage across the secondary winding at 18 times the fundamental frequency, sample a voltage across the tertiary winding at 18 times the fundamental frequency, and determine an amplitude of the fundamental frequency based on the sampled voltages across the secondary and tertiary windings, where the alternating current waveform includes a third harmonic frequency.

Abstract: A resolver system includes a rotatable primary winding, a secondary winding fixed relative to the primary winding, and an analog-to-digital converter electrically connected to the secondary winding. A control module is operatively connected to analog-to-digital converter and is responsive to instructions to apply an excitation voltage with an oscillating waveform to the primary winding, induce a secondary voltage using the secondary winding using the excitation voltage, and acquire a plurality of voltage measurements from the secondary winding separated by a time interval corresponding to π/3 of the excitation voltage oscillating waveform.

Abstract: A sensor system can include a sensor configured to output a sensor signal having a waveform output with noise and a peak detector module configured to receive the waveform output from the sensor and to detect a peak amplitude of the waveform output. The peak detector module can be configured to output a peak amplitude signal. The system can include a threshold module configured to receive the peak amplitude signal and to calculate a cutoff threshold based on the peak amplitude signal. The threshold module can be configured to output a cutoff threshold signal. The system can include a comparator operatively connected to the sensor and the threshold module. The comparator can be configured to receive the sensor signal and the cutoff threshold signal to compare the sensor signal and the cutoff signal. The comparator can be configured to output a high signal or a low signal based on the comparison of the sensor signal and the cutoff threshold signal which changes as a function of the peak amplitude of the sensor signal.

Abstract: A system comprises a first current balancer and a second current balancer. Each of the first and second current balancers includes a first input line for a first voltage source connected to a first output, a second input line for a second voltage source connected to a second output and is in parallel with the first input line, a first series pass element connected in series with the first input line, and a second series pass element connected in series with the second input line. The system further includes a controller operatively connected to the first series pass element and to the second series pass element to throttle at least one of the first series pass element and the second series pass element to balance output current in the first and second outputs.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for sinusoidal nulling are provided. Aspects include transmitting, by a controller, an excitation signal to a first sensor, determining, by the controller, a target harmonic based at least on one or more characteristics of the excitation signal, receiving a return signal from the first sensor, sampling the return signal at a first sample rate based on the target harmonic, and adjusting a phase of the sampled return signal to null the target harmonic amplitude to form an adjusted return signal.

Abstract: A system for detecting a position of a dual solenoid device includes device configured to move between first and second positions, and a controller. The controller has first and second monitoring circuits in operable communication with first and second channels, respectively. The first and second channels are in operable communication with first and second solenoids, respectively. Each solenoid is configured to selectively operate as an active solenoid to move the device when the solenoid and its respective channel are in an active mode, and as a passive solenoid when the solenoid and its respective channel are in a passive mode to passively move with the active solenoid. Each of the monitoring circuits is configured to determine a position of the device when the channel the monitoring circuit is associated with is operating in the passive mode by monitoring an electrical parameter of the passive solenoid associated with that channel.
