Locomotion is a complex motor act that, to a large degree, is controlled by neuronal circuits in the spinal cord. Using a systems neuroscience approach in several model systems of non-limbed and ...

Dopamine transmission is critical for exploratory motor behaviour. A key regulator is acetylcholine; forebrain acetylcholine regulates striatal dopamine release, whereas brainstem cholinergic inputs ...

When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!

In this online engineering specialization, you will master sensor and motor theory and program these devices in a microprocessor system. You will complete courses in sensors and sensor circuit design; ...

This paper discusses why appliance designers should consider Hall-effect sensor integrated circuits (ICs) for motor control. This document covers several key design characteristics that improve motor ...

Motor control circuits in appliances including refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners, need to operate more efficiently, reliably and safely while meeting cost requirements. With energy ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Motor controllers used to power, stop and control the speed of a variety of motors must deal with a wide variety of surges due to switching events.

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

New motor driver ICs focus on ultra-low standby power, flexible H-bridge configurations, and reduced external components to support compact consumer and industrial motor control applications.

Part VI of Art. 430 contains modifications of the general requirements and applies to particular conditions of motor control circuits. Motor control circuit conductors (larger than 10 AWG) that extend ...

Designing robots requires precision and flexibility. When creating a humanoid robot system, there are mechanical and electrical considerations that you need to understand before beginning the actual ...

As with internal-combustion vehicles, the advantages of all-wheel drive for electric vehicles have been obvious from the start as has been the potential to provide multiple motors, ideally one for ...
