Provided herewith is an improved scheme for parking a load such as an indicator pointer and calibrating its position in a system for controlling the position of the load. The system also has a stopper for physically impeding the load when it is to be parked. In one embodiment, a parking method involves driving the motor in a reduced torque mode to move the load toward the stopper, stopping the load at the stopper while the motor is driven in the reduced torque mode, and maintaining the motor in a reduced torque mode until transitioning to an insignificant torque mode.

Abstract:
A circuit is configured for providing reverse battery protection. The circuit includes a load driver circuit having at least a first half-bridge circuit with topside and bottomside transistors coupled at a midpoint node by a first current terminal of both the topside and bottomside transistors. A second current terminal of the bottomside transistor is coupled to a voltage common node. The circuit also includes: a reverse battery protection transistor having a first current terminal coupled to a battery supply node and a second current terminal coupled to a second current terminal of the topside transistor; a bootstrap capacitor having a first terminal coupled to a the midpoint node between the topside and bottomside transistors of the first half-bridge circuit; and a diode having an anode coupled to a second terminal of the bootstrap capacitor and a cathode coupled to a control terminal of the reverse battery protection transistor.

ives of the Russian cosmonaut and the American astronautwho were onboard. In Russia, the incident was viewed as proof thatthe technology was reliable, if oudated. "The system has proved that it's robust," said German astronaut Thomas Reiter, who had at one time traveled onboard Soyuzspacecraft.

Europe-Russia mission blasts off on hunt for life on Mars
scheduled to last until December 2017, it has enough fuel to continue operations for years after, if all goes well. Thomas Reiter, director of human spaceflight at ESA, said in televised remarks ahead of the launch he believed a manned mission to Mars would take place "maybe in 20 years or 30 years".

Command change on space station is one giant leap (day) for space history
As Hoffman was tallying up time in space, another mission was coming to its end. Russia's Soyuz TM-22 crew of Yuri Gidzenko, Sergei Avdeyev and Thomas Reiter, the latter a European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut, landed from the space station Mir on Feb. 29, 1996.

Shuttle launches finally resumed in July 2005 when the Discovery delivered a full load of supplies and equipment, including a replacement gyroscope. The station crew expanded back to three with the arrival of ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter in July 2006.
Little more thought was given to the issue until Thomas Reiter, a German astronaut, was subjected to ultrasound skin tests before and after a six-month stint on the ISS. Those showed significant changes in his skin elasticity, but the result added just one data point to earlier, anecdotal reports.
