20100097014 | Control of a linear motor - A linear electric motor has a fixed primary comprising a stator that is divided into a number of sections, a translating secondary that has an operative length that is longer than any two adjacent sections of the stator in the form of a reaction plate, and a connecting means for connecting only those sections of the stator that are covered, either fully or partially, by the reaction plate. The stator sections are categorised in three groups—two groups of representative sections and an ordinary group of sections. The first and second representative sections alternate with ordinary sections between them. The position of the reaction plate relative to the stator is determined by monitoring current in the active representative sections. The length of the reaction plate is equal to the distance from the beginning of the first representative stator section to the end of the ordinary stator section immediately following the next second representative stator section. Power is supplied to each stator section individually with power being supplied in a modulated manner to end active stator sections that are only partially covered by the reaction plate. Current to the first and second representative sections is used to determine the position of the stator as well as measurement of the inductance of the stator sections. | 04-22-2010 |

20120081043 | CONTROL OF A LINEAR MOTOR - Disclosed is a linear electric motor having a fixed primary comprising a stator divided into a number of sections, including a translating secondary having an operative length longer than any two adjacent sections of the stator in the form of a reaction plate, and a connecting means for connecting only those sections of the stator that are at least partially covered by the reaction plate. The position of the reaction plate relative to the stator is determined by monitoring current in the active representative sections. Power is supplied to each stator section individually, with power supplied in a modulated manner to end active stator sections only partially covered by the reaction plate. A measurement of the current to the active representative section is used to control output voltage to all energized stator sections and is used to determine the change in position of the reaction plate. | 04-05-2012 |

20140198587 | PRE-CHARGE VOLTAGE GENERATION AND POWER SAVING MODES - A system includes a voltage generator to produce a pre-charge voltage signal for pre-charging one or more signals in a memory circuit. The one or more signals can be data bus lines used to access memory. The voltage generator can include an input indicating whether the memory circuit is set to a power-saving mode. According to one embodiment, the input adjusts a magnitude of the pre-charge voltage signal produced by the voltage generator. Such an embodiment is useful over conventional methods because adjusting the pre-charge voltage can result in power savings. As an example, when in the power-saving mode, the voltage generator circuit can adjust the pre-charge voltage to a value that reduces an amount of leakage current associated with a pre-charge voltage. Reducing the leakage with respect to the pre-charge voltage means that the saved power can be used for other useful purposes. | 07-17-2014 |
