               Application 10/931,274                                                                       
               function for eliminating a disturbance on a two-loop control path, with the                  
               elimination of the disturbance allowing the control path to                                  
               provide a single loop correction on either path (Specification 1).                           
                                                                                                           
                      Representative claim 1 is illustrative:                                               
               1.  A motor controller for a motor receiving three-phase voltage power                       
               from an inverter, said motor controller comprising:                                          
                      a sensor path for sensing the three-phase voltage supplied by the                     
               inverter to the motor, and a position sensor for sensing an angular position of              
               the motor, said sensed three-phase voltage being sent through a feedback                     
               loop operable with a first transformation block to transform said sensed                     
               three-phase voltage into two components, and said two components being                       
               associated with two axes;                                                                    
                      said controller including summing blocks for receiving said two                       
               components, and comparing said two components to desired components,                         
               and said controller including two separate loops for separately processing                   
               each of said two components back toward said inverter by passing through a                   
               second transmission block, for changing said two                                             
               components back into three components; and                                                   
                      a control block for taking a frequency of operation of the motor, and                 
               feeding an ARCTAN function based on said frequency back into said second                     
               transformation block.
