Ideomotor theory posits that actions are fundamentally guided by the anticipation of their sensory consequences, suggesting that the mere thought of an effect can trigger the associated motor response ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

Its motor-integration system encompasses the BlackFin and Sharc processors, along with the VisualDSP++ development environment. “You can apply a switching sequence to control the power stage based on ...

Editor’s Note: I recently became interested in learning more about the current state-of-the-art with regard to Industrial Control – especially in the context of programmable logic in the form of CPLDs ...

Houston, TX (June 24, 2009) – Power factor correction (PFC) is becoming a key requirement for motor control applications, as regulation standards aimed to prevent spikes in the power grid are ...
