    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Tuneable auxiliary control mechanisms for rotating unbalanced-mass (RUM) actuators used to maximize scan amplitudes and/or minimize power consumption during changing conditions. This type of mechanism more sophisticated version of type of mechanism described in "Auxiliary Control Mechanisms for RUM Actuators" (MFS-28817). Torsional stiffness of torsionally flexible coupling made adjustable on command. Torsionally flexible coupling in tuneable version of auxiliary control mechanism adjustable by use of stepping-motor-driven worm-gear mechanism that varies bending length of flexible blade.

    System providing limit switch function with simultaneous absolute position output (2006)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-15
    Description: A limit and position sensing system includes a sensor assembly and an emitter. The sensor assembly includes first and second electrical conductors arranged in opposing parallel planes. The first electrical conductor is coiled outwardly from either end thereof in a clockwise fashion to form a first coil region and a second coil region. The second electrical conductor forms a single coil with portions of the single coil's rings lying between the first end and second end of the first electrical conductor being parallel to an axis of the first electrical conductor's plane. Ferromagnetic material is aligned with the first and second electrical conductors and spans beyond (a) the first and second ends of the first electrical conductor, and (b) the portions of the rings of the second electrical conductor's single coil that lie between the first end and second end of the first electrical conductor. The emitter is spaced apart from the sensor assembly and transmits a periodic electromagnetic wave towards the sensor assembly.

    Systems, Methods and Apparatus for Position Sensor Digital Conditioning Electronics (2012)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations determine the amplitude of an amplitude modulated signal, modulated by the position of an object being sensed. In some aspects, the apparatus accepts an excitation signal and the amplitude modulated signal and divides the amplitude modulated by the excitation signal to produce an output signal that is proportional to the position of the object being sensed. In other aspects, the division is performed only when the excitation signal is non-zero, such as close to the peaks in the excitation signal. In other aspects, the excitation signal and amplitude modulated signal are degraded due to an air gap and the degraded signals are used to correct for amplitude fluctuations due to the air gap, and produce an output signal, tolerant of the air gaps, that is proportional to the position of the object being sensed.

    Arc-Tangent Circuit for Continuous Linear Output (2000)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-10
    Description: A device suitable for determining arc-tangent of an angle theta is provided. Circuitry generates a first square wave at a frequency omega(t) and a second square wave at the frequency omega(t) but shifted by a phase difference equal to the angle theta. A pulse width modulation signal generator processes the first and second square waves to generate a pulse width modulation signal having a frequency of omega(t) and having a pulse width that is a function of the phase difference theta. The pulse width modulation signal is converted to a DC voltage that is a linear representation of the phase difference theta.

    Multi-speed multi-phase resolver converter (1995)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: A multiphase converter circuit generates a plurality of sinusoidal outputs of displaced phase and given speed value from the output of an angular resolver system attachable to a motor excited by these multi-phase outputs, the resolver system having a lower speed value than that of the motor. The angular resolver system provides in parallel format sequential digital numbers indicative of the amount of rotation of the shaft of an angular position sensor associated with the angular resolver system. These numbers are used to excite simultaneously identical addresses of a plurality of addressable memory systems, each memory system having stored therein at sequential addresses sequential values of a sinusoidal wavetrain of a given number of sinusoids. The stored wavetrain values represent sinusoids displaced from each other in phase according to the number of output phases desired. A digital-to-analog converter associated with each memory system converts each accessed word to a corresponding analog value to generate attendant to rotation of the angular resolver a sinusoidal wave of proper phase at each of the plurality of outputs. By properly orienting the angular resolver system with respect to the rotor of the motor, essentially ripple-free torque is supplied to the rotor. The angular resolver system may employ an analog resolver feeding an integrated circuit resolver-to-digital converter to produce the requisite digital values serving as addresses. Alternative versions employing incremental or absolute encoders are also described.

    Resolver to 360.degree. linear analog converter and method (2000)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The converter produces a linear analog signal that is linearly proportional to a shaft angle of a resolver over 360.degree.. An excitation cosine signal supplied to the resolver and a response cosine signal received from the output windings of the resolver are converted to logic level signals. Digital logic is performed on the logic level signals in a programmable digital logic device to produce a logic level pulse-width modulated signal. The logic level pulse-width modulated signal is used to control a switch to switch between two reference voltage levels to produce a pulse-width modulated signal, which is filtered and buffered to produce the linear analog signal.

    Auxiliary Control Mechanisms For RUM Actuators (1995)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: RUM actuator proposed device mounted on gimbaled, pivoted, or freely floating instrument and used to make instrument oscillate about one or more axes. Includes one or more (typically, two) unbalanced masses (e.g., lump masses on arms) for each axis about which oscillation desired. Unbalanced masses driven to rotate at constant angular velocity to produce oscillating centrifugal forces, which, in turn, exerts cyclic torques that make instrument oscillate about desired axis. Used in both terrestrial and spacecraft applications: for example, to oscillate instruments as diverse as x-ray telescopes, magnetometers, accelerometers, and agricultural spraying nozzles in variety of scan patterns that include linear, circular, and raster. Weights, power demands, and costs reduced.
