Abstract
A system and method for controlling movement of a body includes a position-based velocity profile, at least one mover, a data processor for calculating a next position of the at least one mover using data from the position-based velocity profile and passing a next position signal to the at least one mover, and an actuator for moving the mover to the next position.
Claims22
A method for controlling the movement of a body, the method comprising:
- providing a current position and a target position for at least one mover;
- retrieving a desired mover velocity from a position-based velocity profile based on the current position and target position for the at least one mover;
- calculating a next position of the at least one mover using the desired mover velocity;
- passing a next position signal to the at least one mover;
- and
- moving the mover to the next position.

2 more elements
A system for controlling movement of a body, the system comprising:
- means for determining a next position of a body using data from a position-based velocity profile;
- means for moving the body to the next position;
- and
- means for removing energy at a resonant frequency of the body.
1 more element
A system for controlling movement of a body, the system comprising:
- means for determining a next position of a body using data from a position-based velocity profile;
- and
- means for moving the body to the next position, wherein the means for moving the body to the next position comprises an electrostatic drive.
