Abstract:
A motor-driven dental device has a motor control that is responsive to a load placed upon the motor. More specifically, the invention relates to a dental device having motor that drives a tool, wherein the tool is activated or otherwise controlled in response to a load placed upon the motor through the tool, such as by touching the tool to a surface. The tool may also be controlled by the sustenance, over a predetermined time period, of an increase or decrease in motor current beyond a predetermined hysteresis current threshold. The motor may be an electric motor, a rotary electric motor, and air driven motor, an ultrasonic device or the like.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a backlash vibration reduction apparatus and method capable of sufficiently performing gear alignment even when torque is increased while a vehicle is driven within a low torque range, thereby minimizing rough vibration due to backlash. The backlash vibration reduction apparatus includes a correction determination unit configured to determine whether it is necessary to correct a torque gradient to be applied for an increase to target torque in the state in which the current torque of a vehicle is retained within a predetermined low torque range and a torque gradient correction unit configured to determine a corrected torque gradient in which a torque increase rate per hour is reduced and a torque increase time period is extended by multiplying a correction factor by a first torque gradient as a torque gradient that increases the current torque upon determining that it is necessary to correct the torque gradient.

Abstract:
A motor speed control circuit including a voltage-dividing module, a first analog-to-digital converter, a second analog-to-digital converter and an operation module. The voltage-dividing module includes a first resistor unit and a second resistor unit. The first analog-to-digital converter receives a supply voltage and converts the supply voltage into a digital supply voltage. The second analog-to-digital converter receives a divided voltage generated by the voltage-dividing module, and converts the divided voltage into a digital divided voltage. The divided voltage is associated with a resistance ratio between the first resistor unit and the second resistor unit. The operation module receives the digital divided voltage and determines a motor speed curve according to the resistance ratio. The operation module generates a first pulse width modulation signal according to the motor speed curve and the digital supply voltage to drive a motor.

Abstract:
There is provided an actuator in which an worm is rotationally driven by an electric motor, and in which an angular velocity of the electric motor is repeatedly fluctuated so that the rotation of the worm is carried out as if the worm is oscillated in the rotational direction thereof, to thereby decrease contact friction of the worm against a worm wheel, resulting in an improvement of an efficiency of force transmission of the worm gear mechanism.Although the electric motor 20 is inherently controlled so that an output shaft 21 thereof is rotated at a target velocity based on a velocity command, a drive control section 40 controls the angular velocity of the output shaft 41 so as to be repeatedly increased and decreased with respect to the target velocity so that the angular velocity of the worm 11 is finely fluctuated, and thus the fluctuation of the angular velocity may be regarded as a fine general-oscillation of the rotating worm 11 in the rotational direction, whereby friction between the gear faces of the worm 11 and the gear faces of the worm wheel 12 can be decreased, resulting in an improvement of the efficiency of force transmission of the worm gear, and in increase in a driving force and a torque value to be transmitted to an object to be driven by the actuator.
