    摘要: Embodiments are directed to a stepper motor and a controller, where the controller measures a parameter associated with a current of the stepper motor prior to support of commanding a step in connection with the stepper motor. That is, the controller commands the step in connection with the stepper motor, measures a parameter subsequent to commanding the step, compares the measurements of the parameter, and determines whether a fault exists with respect to the stepper motor based on the comparison of the measurements.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed to commanding, by a controller, a step in connection with a stepper motor. Further, embodiments include discharging a current in a coil of the stepper motor by transferring the current to a capacitor coupled to the coil responsive to the commanded step and driving a current in the coil. The driving of the current in the coil includes using charge stored on the capacitor during the discharging of the current in the coil.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for improving the printing speed of a dot matrix printer. The printer comprises a conventional array of printing elements and a printing element addressing matrix comprising a set of address lines and a set of strobe lines. Each printing element is connected in series between one of the address lines and one of the strobe lines. Each address line is connected to the output of a first register, and each strobe line to the output of a second register. The printer further comprises apparatus for generating a set of signals representative of a dot matrix pattern to be made on said recording medium, said set of signals being organized in successive sequences each of which contains the signals which control the application of a voltage to the address lines connected to the same printing elements as one of the strobe lines; apparatus for applying the signals of each sequence in turn to the inputs to the first registers in one or more parallel operations, and apparatus for reading the signals of each sequence from the first registers in one or more parallel operations while a voltage is applied to one of the strobe lines from the second register.

    摘要: A resolver interface includes an excitation coil, a first secondary coil, a second secondary coil, a sampling circuit, and a controller. The excitation coil receives an excitation signal that generates first and second signals in the first secondary coil and the second secondary coil, respectively. The sampling circuit includes a multiplexer that samples at least one period of the excitation signal, the first signal, and the second signal, individually. The controller is configured to calculate a sign of the first signal and the second signal relative to the excitation signal, wherein based on the calculated sign of the first signal and the second signal the controller determines a quadrant of the excitation coil and based on the determined quadrant and magnitudes of the sampled first signal and second signal calculates a position of the excitation coil.
