Data Storage Device With Quick And Quiet Modes
View pageUS Patent:
6560658, May 6, 2003
Filed:
Jun 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/873464
Inventors:
Neil Singer - Armonk NY
Mark Tanquary - Needham MA
Kenneth Pasch - North Eastham MA

Kenneth Pasch - North Eastham MA
Assignee:
Convolve, Inc. - New York NY
International Classification:
G06F 300
US Classification:
710 5, 318560, 360 7301, 360 75, 360 7807
Abstract:
Techniques are provided herein for reducing vibrations in various modes of a dynamic system. One such technique comprises incorporating vibration limiting and sensitivity constraints into a partial fraction expansion equation model of the system so as to reduce vibrations to specific levels. Another technique comprises shaping a command determined using the partial fraction expansion equation model to produce a desired output. The entire command may be shaped or only selected portions thereof which produce vibrations. Another technique involves commanding in current to produce saturation in voltage. By doing this, it is possible to command voltage switches. The times at which the switches occur can be set to reduce system vibrations. Other techniques are also provided. These include varying transient portions at the beginning, middle and/or end of a move and using Posicast inputs, among others.

US Classification:
700280, 702 41, 702 56, 702183
Abstract:
Dynamic systems with moving parts, such as printers and image forming apparatuses, for example, can shake as a result of reaction forces related to carriage movement. The characteristics of the shake are related to the particular usage environment and, therefore, can be different for the same dynamic system used in different environments. When the shake of a dynamic system is characterized while the dynamic system is in its particular usage environment, the shake can be reduced, for example, based on a degree of control specified by an operator, for every use in that same environment through adjustments based on the characterization.
