The speed control feedback loop uses an established speed control signal and a signal indicative of the rotor's speed to dynamically adjust a first parameter governing the control signal. The current control feedback loop uses an established current control signal and a signal indicative of the current flowing through a stator winding of the TPSRM to dynamically adjust a second parameter governing the control signal.application/pdfen-USPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/41/245/086/0.pdf13460911318/701318/254.1318/258318/261318/703H02P25/0858624541
