Typical underwater piezoelectric spherical sensors are omni-directional, thus can measure the scalar quantity sound-pressure-magnitude only with the limitation not being able to measure the direction of the incoming wave. This paper proposes a method to simultaneously measure both the magnitude and direction of the sound wave with the spherical sensor. The method divides the piezoceramic sphere of the sensor into eight elements, and distinguishes the magnitude and direction of the sound pressure by combining the output voltage of the elements in a particular manner. Further, through the analysis of the sensitivity variation in relation to the structural parameters like radius and thickness of the piezoceramic sphere, we have suggested the way to improve the sensitivity of the vector sensor.

This paper proposes a new vector control method using two rectangular hall sensors instead of using the expensive encoder and resolver. The proposed method estimates the speed and motor position by using the quadruple of two hall sensors signals instead of encoder signal. The proposed new speed estimation method is stable under the rated speed range. This algorithm will be able to moderate prices of the whole system and apply to the condition unfitted with encoder and resolver.

본 논문에서는 스위칭 주파수의 구형파 전압 주입을 이용한 IPMSM의 센서리스 제어 기법에서 개선된 신호처리 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법에서는 기본파 전류와 고주파 성분 전류추출에 필요한 필터를 간단히 구현함으로써 신호처리에서 발생하는 시지연을 줄일 수 있으며, 그 결과 센서리스 제어의 동특성을 개선할 수 있다. 800[W]급 IPMSM에 대한 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

360 degree 3-dimensional lidar sensors and vision cameras are commonly used in the development of autonomous driving techniques for automobile, drone, etc. By the way, existing calibration techniques for obtaining th e external transformation of the lidar and the camera sensors have disadvantages in that special calibration objects are used or the object size is too large. In this paper, we introduce a simple calibration method between two sensors using a spherical object. We calculated the sphere center coordinates using four 3-D points selected by RANSAC of the range data of the sphere. The 2-dimensional coordinates of the object center in the camera image are also detected to calibrate the two sensors. Even when the range data is acquired from various angles, the image of the spherical object always maintains a circular shape. The proposed method results in about 2 pixel reprojection error, and the performance of the proposed technique is analyzed by comparing with the existing methods.

This paper describes how the directivity pattern of the scattered sound pressure is distributed when a plane acoustic wave is incident on a rigid or soft spherical shell underwater. A coupled Finite Element-Boundary Element method is developed as a numerical technique. The result of the coupled FE-BE method is agreed with theoretical solution for algorithmic confirmation.

본 논문에서는 위치 센서에 의존하지 않는 매입형 영구자석 전동기의 센서리스 구동 시 전압 왜곡으로 인해 나타나는 위치 추정 오차를 이론적으로 분석하고자 한다. 특히, 추정 d축에 맥동하는 구형파 전압을 주입하는 방법에서 주입하는 신호의 주파수에 따라 위치 추정 성능이 달라지는 현상에 초점을 맞춘다. 무부하에서 스위칭 주파수의 신호를 주입할 때 전압 왜곡은 on/off sequence에서 서로 반대의 위상을 갖는 역상분 2고조파의 형태로 나타나며, 위치 추정 오차는 3고조파의 형태로 나타난다. 반면, 반스위칭 주파수의 신호를 주입하는 경우에는 샘플링 주기 동안 주입 전압 왜곡의 효과가 상쇄되기 때문에 인덕턴스의 영향만이 주로 고려되어 위치 추정 오차가 6고조파의 형태로 나타난다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 이론적 분석의 타당성을 검증하였다.

A method for increasing the difference of side-lobe level in spherical microphone array is presented. In array signal processing, it is known that narrow interval between sensors can increase the difference between main lobe and side-lobe of array response which eventually increase the source recognition capability. Recent commercial array being used, however, have shown certain limitation in using the number of sensors due to its costs and geometrical size of array. To overcome this problem, we have adapted MEMS sensors into spherical microphone array. To check out the improvement, two different types of spherical microphone array were designed. One array is composed with 32 regular instrument microphones and the other one is 85 MEMS sensors. Simulation and experiments were conducted on a sinusoidal noise source with two arrays. The time history data were analyzed with spherical harmonic decomposition and beamforming technique. 85 MEMS sensors array showed the improved side-lobe level suppression by more than 4 dB above the frequency content of 2 kHz compared to 32-sensor array.

The position of stator is essential when a trapezoidal BLDC motor is drived. In this paper we proposed a novel sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal BLDC motor without hall sensors or encoders. The resistor Y-connecting method is used to obtain Back-emf of a trapezoidal BLDC motor. Especially, by using the new Back-emf filter circuit proposed in this paper the sensorless characteristic in low speed is improved. The prototype proposed system applied for a 100[W] rating BLDC motor is made and the propriety of the Back-EMF filter circuit is also verified.

This power proposes a new sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal brushless DC motor generally requiring mechanical position or speed sensor. For this an indirect rotor position sensing method from the back emf waveform of non-conducting phase is explained. Back emf waveform of non-conducting is obtained from analysing terminal voltage created by making Y-connection. And an experiment is implemented with a driving system which use 87c196mc microcontroller having a peripheral associated with 3-phase signals and inverter composed of Power MOSFET. The experimental results show the validity and practicality of the proposed sensorless drive.
