    摘要: A rotor dynamics adjustment system includes a rotor system with at least one compressor section and at least one turbine section operably coupled to a shaft. The rotor dynamics adjustment system also includes one or more rotor system sensors configured to collect a plurality of sensor data from the rotor system, an electric motor operably coupled to the rotor system, and a controller. The controller is operable to monitor the one or more rotor system sensors while the rotor system is rotating. A dynamic motion of the rotor system is characterized based on the sensor data from the one or more rotor system sensors. A damping correction torque is determined to diminish the dynamic motion of the rotor system. The electric motor is commanded to apply the damping correction torque to the rotor system.

    摘要: Provided is a material testing machine (1) including: a load mechanism (12) that applies a load to a test object; a load measurement device that measures the load applied to the test object; and a control device (30) that performs a feedback control for the load mechanism (12) based on a deviation between a measurement value of the load and a target value of the load, in which a change in a physical quantity generated in the test object due to the load is measured, and the control device (30) includes a hunting detection unit (66) that detects hunting by comparing a frequency spectrum obtained by converting time-series data of the measurement value with a frequency spectrum obtained by converting the time-series data of the target value.

    摘要: Systems and methods for tracking unintentional muscle movements of a user and stabilizing a handheld tool while it is being used are described. The method may include measuring, with a first inertial measuring unit (“IMU”), at least an orientation of a housing of the handheld tool, and measuring, with a second IMU, at least an orientation or an attachment arm extending from the housing of the handheld tool. The method may also include storing the orientation of the housing and the orientation of the attachment arm in a memory. Furthermore, the method may include controlling, with a processing logic, a first motion generating mechanism and a second motion generating mechanism to move the attachment arm relative to the housing based on the measured orientation of the housing and the measured orientation of the attachment arm to stabilize motion of a user-assistive device attached to a distal end of the attachment arm.

    摘要: Systems, tools, and methods are presented that enable a circuit to introduce a random time delay before actuating a relay to start or stop a supply of electrical power to a heating element of a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. In one instance, the circuit includes a time-delay switch electrically connected to the relay. The time-delay switch has a random time delay before entering a closed state or open state. The relay is operable to start and stop a supply of electrical power to the heating element in response to the switch entering, respectively, the closed state and the open state. Other systems, tools and methods are presented.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an anti-shake method of robot and a robot thereof. The method includes: receiving at least one motion-controlling instruction from a main control unit, determining whether a servo performs the motion-controlling instruction, obtaining a target angle and a current angle of the servo upon determining the servo is not under a control of a main control unit, determining whether the target angle and the current angle is within a fault tolerance range, terminating the servo upon determining the target angle and the current angle is within the fault tolerance range. As such, the shaking of the robot may be avoided when the robot performs actions, so as to reduce power consuming and to extend stand-by time.

    摘要: Various methods and systems control the power of a process power supply by a control circuit with a controller and several control channels, wherein each control channel comprises an actual value and a target value of a control variable. The systems and methods specify target values of the control variables, determine the actual values of the control variables, determine a selected control channel with the assistance of a selection variable dependent upon the actual value, determine a selected control difference from the target value and the actual value of the selected control channel, and control the control loop with the selected control difference of the selected control channel.

    摘要: A servo control device according to the present invention includes a speed command generation unit, a torque command generation unit, a speed detection unit, a speed control loop, a speed control gain setting unit for setting a speed control gain for the speed control loop, a sinusoidal disturbance input unit for performing a sinusoidal sweep on the speed control loop, a frequency characteristic calculation unit, and a gain adjustment unit. When the speed control loop has fallen into an oscillation state and has become unstable owing to the increased speed control gain, the speed control gain is reduced and the sinusoidal sweep is temporarily stopped. After the speed control loop is stabilized using the speed control gain which is lower than in the unstable state, the sinusoidal sweep is restarted.
