A new method for the electrostatic suspension of disk-shaped objects is proposed which is based on a time-optimal control scheme and deploys only high-voltage power supplies that can deliver do voltages of positive and/or negative polarity. This method possesses the unique feature that no high-voltage amplifiers are needed which leads to a remarkable system simplification and objects can be suspended stably even in vacuum environment. Using this scheme, an Aluminium disk employed in a 3.5-inch HDD was suspended stably at an airgap of 0.3mm.

A simple and cost-effective method for the electrostatic suspension of thin plates like silicon wafers is proposed which is based on a switched voltage control scheme. It operates according to a relay feedback control and deploys only a single high-voltage power supply that can deliver a DC voltage of positive and/or negative polarity. This method possesses the unique feature that no high-voltage amplifiers are needed which leads to a remarkable system simplification relative to conventional methods. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of the relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping origination from the air between the electrodes and levitated object. Using this scheme, a 4-inch silicon wafer was levitated stably with airgap variation decreasing down to $1 {\mu}m$ at an airgap of $100{\mu}m$.

The magnetic levitation system has many advantages, such as little friction, no lubrication, no noise and so on. For this reason, the magnetic levitation system is utilized in the magnetic bearing of high-speed rotor. The method to obtain magnetic force is both the repulsive suspension method and the attraction suspension method need a stabilizing controller because it is a unstable system in natural. This paper presents the design of robust stabilizing servo controller in spite of being the model uncertainties in the magnetic levitation system by $\textit{H}_{\infty}$ control theory using the free parameter. And we investigated the validity of a designed controller through results of the simulation and the actual experiment.

A new hybrid permanent magnet biased magnetic levitation actuator (maglev) is developed. This new maglev actuator is composed of two C-core electromagnetic cores separated with two permanent magnets. Compared to the conventional hybrid maglev actuators, the new actuator has unique flux paths such that bias flux paths are separated with control flux paths. The control flux paths have minimum reluctances only developed by air gaps, so the currents to produce control fluxes can be minimized. The gravity load can be compensated with the permanent magnet bias fluxes developed at off-centered air gap positions while external disturbances are controlled with control fluxes by currents. The consumed power to operate this levitation system can be minimized. 1-D magnetic circuit model is developed for this model such that the flux densities and magnetic forces are extensively analyzed. 3-D finite element model is also developed to analyze the performances of the maglev actuator.

용융공정으로 제조한 YBCO 고온 초전도체는 임계전류밀도가 높기 때문에 외부자장을 강력하게 반발한다. 영구자석과 YBCO 초전도체간의 부상력을 이용하면 무접촉으로 회전할 수 있는 베어링을 제작할 수 있다 고온 초전도체 무접촉 베어링은 고에너지 효율의 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치에 활용된다. 초전도 베어링은 전자석을 이용한 자기 베어링에 비해, 위치 제어 시스템 없이 중량물을 공중에 띄워 회전시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치는 무공해의 환경 친화적인 기술로, 용량과 규모, 에너지 입출력 양과 시간을 조절하기 쉽다. 또한, 장소설정에 제한이 없으므로 에너지를 필요로 하는 장소에 자유롭게 설치할 수 있고, 에너지밀도가 다른 저장시스템에 비해 상대적으로 높다. 현재 선진 각국에서는 에너지의 효율적 저장 및 활용을 위해 고온 초전도체 베어링을 이용한 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치를 국가적 중점 사업으로 개발 중이며 2000년 초에 실용화될 전망이다. 본 논문에서는 고온 초전도체의 자기 부상력, 플라이흴 에너지 저장장치의 개념설계 및 개발동향에 대해 요약하였다.

근래에 DSP설계기술은 하루가 다르게 성장 해가고 있다. 기존에 많은 양의 소수점 연산이 필요한 기기에 자주 사용되어왔던 TMS320C3x DSP시리즈는 소수점연산에는 유리하지만 DSP를 사용하기 위해 외부메모리 및 A/D컨버터, PWM제너레이터, 엔코더 카운팅 회로 등 주변회로를 설계하는데 많은 시간과 비용이 소비되었다. TMS320LF2407은 기존에 사용하던 복잡한 주변회로가 모두 하나의 컨트롤러에 내장되어 있어 사용하기가 편리하며 고속의 연산능력이 있다. 본 논문에서는 자기부상시스템을 모델링하고 이산시간에서 처리 가능한 다이나믹필터와 상태궤환제어기를 설계한 뒤 DSP를 이용한 부상실험셋트를 구성하여 실험을 통해 DSP의 효용성을 검증하고자 한다.

The experimental study on the lift-off height of diffusion flames was conducted to investigate the damage of swirl-coaxial injector used in $GO_2$/kerosene rocket engine during initial stage of ignition. To investigate the causes of damage and to prevent further damage of the injector, experimental injector was designed and hot fire tests were performed with varying propellant momentum ratio($\frac{Momentum of {GO_2}}{Momentum of Kerosene}$) from 1 to 12. In experimental coaxial injector, kerosene is sprayed from the central nozzle with swirl and $GO_2$ sprayed around the kerosene nozzle in the direction parallel to the axis of combustion chamber. Chamber pressure are close to the atmospheric condition. Lift-off height was measured by still images from camcoder and average values were used as data.

This paper presents a technique to implement embedded systems using interrupts of the one-chip microcontroller with many peripherals based on a multiple finite state machines model. The multiple finite state machine model utilizes the structure of FSMD used for hardware design and the features of flow control by interrupts. The main finite state machine corresponds to the main program and the sub-state machines corresponds to the interrupt subroutines. Therefore, interrupts from the peripherals can be processed immediately in the sub-state machines. The request and reply variables are used to interface between the finite state machines. Additional operating system is not necessary for the context switching between the main state machine and the sub-state machine, because the flow-control caused by interrupt can be replaced with the switching. An embedded system modeled on multiple finite state machine with ASM charts can be easily implemented by the conversion of ASM charts into C-language programs. This implementation technique can be easily adopted to the hardware oriented embedded systems because of the detail description of the model and the fast response to the interrupt events in the sub-state machine.

A magnetically levitating capsule train, which runs inside the sub-vacuum tube, can reach ultra-fast speeds by dramatically reducing the aerodynamic drag and friction. The capsule train uses the superconductor electrodynamic suspension (SC-EDS) method for levitation. The SC-EDS method has advantages, such as a large levitation gap and free of gap control, which could reduce the infra-construction cost. On the other hand, disadvantages, such as the large variation of the levitation-guidance gap and small damping characteristics in levitation-guidance force, could degrade the running stability and ride comfort of the capsule train. In this study, a dynamic analytical model of a capsule train based on the SC-EDS was developed to analyze the running dynamic characteristics. First, as important factors in the capsule train dynamics, the levitation and guidance stiffness in the SC-EDS system were derived, which depend non-linearly on the velocity and gap variation. A 3D dynamic analysis model for capsule trains was developed based on the derived stiffness. Through the developed model, the effects of the different running speeds on the ride comfort were analyzed. The effects of a disturbance from infrastructure, such as the curve radius, tube sag, and connection joint difference, on the running stability of the capsule train, were also analyzed.
