    Abstract: A method of operating a power tool having a motor and a controller is provided. The method includes: receiving a speed signal from a variable-speed input mechanism mounted on the power tool; determining a target speed of the motor corresponding to the speed signal; controlling a supply of power to the motor based on the target speed; determining an underspeed threshold corresponding to at least one of the target speed or the speed signal; determining a rotational speed of the motor; and interrupting a supply of power to the motor if the rotational speed of the motor meets a criterion in relation to the underspeed threshold.

    Abstract: An intelligent electric tool includes an output shaft, a motor, a transmission assembly, an adjustment assembly, a detection unit, and a controller. The output shaft outputs torsion. The motor drives the output shaft to rotate. The transmission assembly connects the motor to the output shaft. The adjustment assembly adjusts an operating mode of the intelligent electric tool, where the operating mode includes at least a metal mode. The detection unit detects a current value of the intelligent electric tool in operation. The controller determines a first detection value and a second detection value according to the current value of the intelligent electric tool in operation and control, according to the first detection value and/or the second detection value, the motor to stop rotating to control the intelligent electric tool to stop.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a safety system for a stairlift. The Safety system comprises a component for sending and receiving an electromagnetic signal that includes a light emitting device such as an LED and a light receiving device such as a photo resistor, an electromagnetic signal interrupter like a movable vane, a moveable activator, and a processor. The activator is configured to be moved by a user of the stairlift, which in turn causes the signal interrupter to interrupt a first electromagnetic signal.

    Abstract: The pinch detector is suitable to detect a pinch at a closing member actuated by a motor equipped with a measuring circuit to measure a motor current. It includes a first portion that, when the motor starts closing the member, obtains a reference value of the motor current measured at the end of a blind time period having a predetermined duration from the moment the motor starts to close the member; a second portion that compares current values of the measured motor current to a threshold value depending on said reference value, during a detection time period, following the blind time period and preceding a steady state time period of the motor, in order to detect a pinch at the closing member based on a comparison result.

    Abstract: An exemplary method includes controlling a rotation rate of a rotor in a vehicle, detecting that an electric motor system is electrically energized and rotating the rotor at least at a minimum rotation rate that is greater than zero in response to the electric motor system being electrically energized. The rotor may be rotated at least at the minimum rotation rate when the electric motor system is energized and the motor is turned-off.
