Bill Wong talks with Mark Sirangelo of SNC Space Systems about the Dream Chaser, a follow-up to the shuttle program and the unique hybrid fuel used in the engines.Hosted by: Bill Wong Videography by: Terry Knight Edited by: Terry Knight
Building on the previous session, we investigate the Field Oriented Control process in an easy to understand way using animations and simulations. We then introduce the topic of observers and how they can be applied in a field-oriented application to eliminate the motor shaft sensor, resulting in sensorless control.
Part 3 of 6 - Brushless DC Motors: This session will talk about the different types of motors used in the industry; DC, Brushless DC, Steppers, Permanent Magnet Synchronous, and AC Induction. To gather a better understanding of motors, differences of these motors with advantages and disadvantages of each will be shown. Basic motor drive circuits will be discussed from full H-Bridge drive to half-bridge for 3-phase motors. Other drive concepts such as 6-step commutation along with drive issues such as current recirculation will be discussed. Field Oriented Control will also be discussed and how it has progressed with improving technology. This session will end with how to implement a motor control application using TI solutions from analog products, digital controllers and software to precisely control the position, velocity and torque of mechanical drives.

Part 1 of 2 - Video Surveillance Reference Designs - DVR: In this session, we will discuss video reference designs based on TI�s DM365 processors and TVP5158 analog decoders that help reduce customers� time to market. The DM365 IPCamera and DVR reference designs are targetted for the Video Surveillance market where high quality video at low bitrates and a low system BOM are key to designing successful products. This session will give details on the hardware and software architecture, as well as cover the business model for engaging with TI.

For AMR (Automtated Meter Reading) and AMI (Advanced Meter Infrastructure) to become truly pervasive it needs to provide more than a reduction in meter reading costs. Optimization for Asset tracking, dynamic pricing, tamper notification, outage management, supply automation, load profiling and network diagnostics are critical elements for the success of this infrastructure. The trend towards AMR increases the electronics content of the meter itself, and AMI drives a networked infrastructure for all metering. TI�s comprehensive utility metering portfolio includes devices targeted at electricity, water and gas metering, as well as power line communications (PLC) and radio frequency (RF) interfaces for AMI that allow customers to design smart grid solutions. From highly optimized application specific embedded processors, low-power RF, power management and RFID to dedicated software support for ZigBee, WMBUS, OFDM and SFSK modulations, TI offers the most complete solution set for smart metering.
