When the controller determines the instantaneous data exceed the comparison data, an instantaneous correction operation is made to make the instantaneous data not exceeding the comparison data. Acceleration or deceleration may be made by the drive unit to effect such a control that when the movable piece reaches the next detection unit, the instantaneous data do not exceed the comparison data.
174 Real-time, packet-level quality assurance of electromechanical device control data US11857017 2007-09-18 US08600528B2 2013-12-03 Daniel Young-joon Kim
The present invention relates to a method and system for providing real-time packet-level quality assurance of digital data that controls an electromechanical device transmitted through a network between a transmitting computer and at least one terminal computer. Specifically, all data packets transmitted between the transmitting computer and the at least one terminal computer are passively monitored, and those data packets containing digitized data that controls an electromechanical device of a pre-determined format are selectively recorded to a database. The selectively recorded data packets are then analyzed for determining whether a current set of digitized data that controls an electromechanical device transmitted between the transmitting computer and the at least one terminal computer during a current session would lead to a harmful or undesirable outcome by the electromechanical device being controlled. Finally, the analysis results are displayed in a real-time manner to provide real-time packet-level quality assurance of the digitized data that controls an electromechanical device.
