Devices And Methods For Controlling Electromechanical Actuators

View page
US Patent:
20230098831, Mar 30, 2023
Filed:
Nov 4, 2022
Appl. No.:
18/052756
Inventors:
- Northridge CA, US
Adam S. Trock - Simi Valley CA, US
Seth N. Kazarians - Duarte CA, US
Jalal Elidrissi - Santa Clarita CA, US
International Classification:
H02P 27/08
G16H 20/17
A61M 5/142
A61M 5/145
A61M 5/168
H02P 6/08
H02P 27/06
Abstract:
Electromechanical actuation systems and related operating methods are provided. A method of controlling an electromechanical actuator in response to an input command signal at an input terminal involves determining a commanded actuation state value based on a characteristic of the input command signal, generating driver command signals based on the commanded actuation state value and an actuator type associated with the electromechanical actuator, and operating driver circuitry in accordance with the driver command signals to provide output signals at output terminals coupled to the electromechanical actuator.

Ingress-Tolerant Input Devices

View page
US Patent:
20230064375, Mar 2, 2023
Filed:
Sep 2, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/465708
Inventors:
- Northridge CA, US
Adam S. Trock - Simi Valley CA, US
International Classification:
H01H 9/04
H01H 3/12
H01H 1/54
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to ingress-tolerant input devices. Aspects of the disclosure relate to an ingress-tolerant switch assembly for operating an electronic device in an ingress-protected manner. The switch assembly includes a button configured to be coupled to an outer surface of an enclosure of the electronic device. The switch assembly also includes a spring operably coupled to the button and a magnet coupled to the spring. A pressing force applied by a user to the button overcomes a spring force of the spring to move the magnet into proximity of the magnetic sensor to cause the magnetic sensor to generate a sensor signal for performing a function of the electronic device.

Ingress-Tolerant Input Devices Comprising Sliders

US Patent:
20230066790, Mar 2, 2023
Filed:
Sep 2, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/465721
Inventors:
- Northridge CA, US
Adam S. Trock - Simi Valley CA, US
International Classification:
H01H 9/04
H01H 15/10
H01H 15/16
G01D 5/14
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to ingress-tolerant input devices comprising sliders. Aspects of the disclosure relate to an ingress-tolerant switch assembly for operating an electronic device in an ingress-protected manner. The switch assembly is at least partially disposed on an outer surface of an enclosure of the electronic device and generally includes a spring, a magnet coupled to the spring, and a slider coupled to the magnet. A spring force of the spring is overcome by a user moving the slider relative to the enclosure such that the slider moves the magnet into proximity of the magnetic sensor to cause the magnetic sensor to generate a sensor signal for performing a function of the electronic device.
