The present system includes a ultrasound transducer, a motor positioning system, an electrocardiograph, a microprocessor for processing ultrasound images and signals capturing by the ultrasound transducer, and a monitor displaying the dynamic 3D ultrasound image. The motor positioning system controls the ultrasound transducer to capture 2D ultrasound images of the blood vessel at several locations in a predetermined urea. During the capturing process, capturing times, electrocardiograms and 3D locations of those captured 2D ultrasound images are simultaneously recoded. Finally, those captured 2D ultrasound images are reconstructed to the dynamic 3D ultrasound image of the blood vessel according to the time bases based on the phases of the electrocardiograms.

    Abstract: A sensorless driving method for a brushless DC motor is provided. The time for the motor to rotate an electrical angle 60° is obtained by alternatively counting the occurrences of zero crossings with two counters and comparing the counted values, and the motor is delayed an electrical angle of 30°, by which a precise commutating time is obtained. The driving method provides a mask-based phase shift digital detection mechanism for effectively detecting true zero-crossing points. The driving method further provides an inhabitation mechanism with the function of soft-switch for inhibiting noise caused by transistor switching. By using these two counters, the time for the motor to rotate two electrical angles 30°−Δθ and 30°+Δθ are obtained and stored in two registers. The time period before and after the commutating point is added into a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to reduce the noise and vibration.

Move the moving part towards a target position. Receive magnetic signals generated by the magneto-resistive sensor of the linear actuator, which include a sine signal and a cosine signal. Then, generate a first square wave, a second square wave, and a regional square wave based on the sine signal and the cosine signal. Generate a saw-tooth wave based on the sine signal, the cosine signal, the second square wave, and the regional square wave. Next, calculate the number of regions which the moving part is across from the origin point based on the first square wave, the second square wave, and the regional square wave. Finally, estimate the current position of the moving part based on the saw-tooth wave and the number of regions.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a tuning mechanism for flying pickup heads in data storage devices. The pickup device includes a coil, a pivot, a suspension, and a piezoelectric bender. The piezoelectric bender made by a bi-layer or a multi-layer piezoelectric material is formed on one end of the suspension, and proper voltages applied to the piezoelectric bender via wires enable the piezoelectric bender to undergo both neutral axis displacement and bending deflection. A pickup head is attached to the free end of the piezoelectric bender opposite to the coil, and via the piezoelectric bender, focusing and tracking motion of the pickup head can be tuned at the same time. Furthermore, since the characteristic of the piezoelectric bender is similar to bimetallic elements, the bender can undergo large bending deflection to compensate large deformation of rotating optical disks, so that the flying height of the pickup head can be tuned to maintain a constant focusing distance in reading/writing data.
