    摘要: A movable barrier operator (10) can have at least two automatic modes of operation. These modes of operation can differ from one another at least with respect to their respective utilized maximum-applied-force thresholds, such that one of the modes of operation correlates to a reduced maximum-applied-force threshold. Selection between these available maximum-applied-force thresholds can be based, at least in part, upon whether an obstacle detector is operably coupled to the movable barrier operator. In one embodiment, a primary controller (30) and a secondary controller (31) can be utilized to effect the controlled selection and usage of the available maximum-applied-force thresholds. In another embodiment, maximum permitted speed of travel for the movable barrier can also be determined, at least in part, as a function of whether an obstacle detector is available to the movable barrier operator.

    摘要: When an operation of lowering window glass is conducted to attain a full-opened state and a lock current flows, a lowering operation is invalidated, thereby preventing the lock current from continuously flowing. When a raising operation is conducted under the full-opened state, a power window motor is operated in a direction of closing the window glass, and the in validating state is canceled. In the case where, before the full-closed state is attained, a foreign object is caught and the lock current flows, the same as above is conducted. In a raising operation of closing the window glass, the raising operation under the full-closed state is invalidated, thereby preventing the lock current from continuously flowing. When a lowering operation is conducted under the full-closed state, the power window motor is operated in the direction of opening the window glass, and the invalidating state is canceled.

    摘要: A detector, that prevents erroneous detection of a foreign object caught in a window glass when the engine of a vehicle is being operated and when the engine is stopped using a relatively simple control method. The detector includes a pulse sensor for detecting rotational speed of a motor. A microcomputer calculates a cycle difference sum based on the rotational speed of the motor. The microcomputer compares the cycle difference sum with a obstruction determination threshold to determine whether a foreign object has been caught. The microcomputer detects whether the engine is stopped. When detecting that the engine is stopped, the microcomputer changes the obstruction determination threshold so that the probability of the microcomputer determining that a foreign object has been caught is lower than that when the engine is being operated.

    摘要: A hill hold apparatus and operating strategy for an electric or hybrid electric vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus includes a three-phase machine that is coupled to drive wheels. The machine is powered by a pulse width modulated inverter having at least a first half-bridge coupled to a first machine phase, a second half-bridge coupled to a second machine phase, and a third half-bridge coupled to a third machine phase. The operating strategy employs predetermined switching modes to minimize and distribute the power loss among the power switches in the inverter and the machine phases.

    摘要: A system detects an obstruction in the path of a vehicle openable member, such as a window. The system comprises a direct detector of the obstruction and an indirect detector of the obstruction. The indirect detector detects force exerted by the obstruction on the openable member, while the direct detector uses an image of the opening to detect an obstruction. The indirect detector provides the direct detector with openable member position information, which is used in the direct detector to refine the detection process and increase its reliability. The indirect detector can also interrupt the movement of the openable member if the direct detector malfunctions.

    摘要: Temperature of the disk drive is measured using components of the disk drive without the need of including a separate temperature sensor to optimize performance of the spindle motor during startup. To measure temperature, the resistance of the VCM winding is measured and used to estimate the spindle bearing temperature. Back emf is measured from VCM windings and used during startup to accurately determine actuator position. Because the VCM coil resistance varies significantly with temperature, coil resistance variations with temperature are determined to enable compensation for inaccuracies in determination of actuator velocity. This inferred temperature is then used to optimize the start up procedure for the spindle motor to accommodate the increased frictional loading of the spindle bearing. In this way an improved performance in the reliability and spin up operation time can be realized without the addition of a separate temperature measurement hardware element.
