LG Electronics developed linear compressors for a household refrigerator which can reduce energy consumption up to $24\%$ by only Drop-ln instead of a conventional reciprocating compressor. The linear compressor is composed of a linear oscillating motor, a piston directly coupled with the linear motor, a cylinder and the specific discharge system of LG. Because of this free-piston structure, the position of the piston can be changeable according to the voltage variation, load variation and so on. By this reason, LG linear compressor has been in need of an additional unit to control the position of the free-piston stably. In this paper we will introduce the innovative technology which is able to operate the linear compressor without controlling the piston position like a conventional reciprocating compressor.

The generated torque of a switched reluctance(SR) motor is highly nonlinear, which makes it difficult to determine the reference current commands for minimum torque ripples. In this paper, we present a computationally simple and efficient method to minimize torque ripples of SR motors based on iterative learning control. The reference current command of each phase minimizing torque ripples is identified in 2-dimensional look-up table form. Our learning control algorithm does not require the torque model, so our method is not affected by model errors and hence is very accurate. In order to justify our work, we present some computer simulation results.

The EHA(Electro-hydrostatic Actuator) reveals completely different characteristics from the conventional valve-controlled Electro-hydraulic actuators. In this paper, its mathematical model including nonlinear elements was derived to be verified by experiments. Based on this, a simulation program was developed for the EHAs consisting of an electric motor driven hydraulic pump, pipe lines and a cylinder. The influence of important design parameters such as peak motor torque and rotational inertia moment of the hydraulic pump on control performance was investigated, where the test condition was intentionally selected so that the motor torque was saturated during the transient phase. As a result, design requirements for improving the control accuracy under full speed operation conditions of the EHAs were investigated.

시각 장애인들의 시각 정보에 대한 낮은 접근성은 문화, 예술 활동에 큰 제약을 가져다 주고 있다. 실제로 시각 장애인 중 약 절반 이상이 문화, 여가생활에 만족하지 못한다고 답하였고 전시회, 미술품 감상 또는 관람 활동은 약 5%만이[1] 참여하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 시각이라는 감각의 한계를 뛰어넘어 시각 미디어를 즐길 수 있게 하는 서비스를 제작하였고, 이는 크게 웹서비스인 web view editor와 물리적인 촉각 디스플레이로 구성된다. 시각 미디어인 이미지는 8×8로 나눠 각 영역을 OpenCV 라이브러리와 K-means clustering 알고리즘을 이용하여 9 level로 분류시키고, 구분된 level에 맞게 cell의 높낮이 차이를 두기 위하여 Arduino를 통한 회전-선형 변환기를 제작했다. Arduino의 PWM 기능을 이용해 모터의 속도와 방향을 제어하며, 각 모터의 드라이버는 Arduino와 연결되어 있어 모터의 회전을 제어하게 했다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 cell의 높낮이 차이를 9 level로 구분하여 시각 정보를 촉각으로 수용할 수 있는 장치를 제작하였고, 이 장치를 통해 기존의 시각 장애인들이 문화 생활을 쉽게 향유하고 이를 바탕으로 창의성과 상상력을 증대시켜 더욱 밀접하게 사회와 연결되고 소통 할 수 있는 기회의 초석이 되기를 기대하는 바이다.

This paper proposes a new nonlinear speed controller with a fuzzy load torque observer based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy method for a permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). The LMI conditions are derived for the existence of the proposed nonlinear speed controller and fuzzy load torque observer, and the LMI parameterization to obtain the gain matrices of the controller and observer is given. In this paper, to verify the performance of the proposed nonlinear speed controller and fuzzy load torque observer, and the simulation and experimental results are demonstrated under motor parameter and load torque variations.

This paper describes an accurate and stable current control method of switched reluctance motors(SRMs), which have recently attracted considerable wide attention owing to their favorable features, such as high performance, high durability, structural simplicity, low cost, etc. In most cases, the PI controllers(PICC) have been used mostly for the current control of electric motors because their algorithm and selection of controller gain are relatively simpler compared to other controllers. On the other hand, the PI controller requires an adjustment of the controller gains for each operating point when nonlinear system parameters change rapidly. This paper presents a stable current control method of an SRM using self-tuning fuzzy current controller(STFCC) under nonlinear parameter variation. The performance of the considered method is validated via a dynamic simulation of the current controlled SRM drive using Matlab/Simulink program.

In this paper, a reaction-force compensation system for an XY linear motion stage, without an additional external isolation structure or extra motors, is developed. This system consists of a movable magnet track, a spring, a dummy weight, and a dedicated sensor module that measures the relative positions of the movable magnet track with respect to the motor coil. The reaction force compensation system is modeled, and simulations are carried out to optimize design parameters such as the moving distance of the magnet track, the transmission force, the dummy weight, and the allowed size of the mechanism. An XY linear motion stage is built, incorporating the reaction force compensation system, and the performance of the system is verified experimentally. For acceleration and deceleration values of 10 m/$s^2$, 85% of the reaction force is absorbed by the reaction force compensation system.

In this paper, the characteristics of a double-sided linear pulse motor (DLPM) with permanent magnet are analysed using the method which combined the coenergy method and the equivalent magnetic circuit method. In the process of computation, the magnetic material nonlinealities of the permanent magnet, the primary and the secondary core are interpolated by the cubic spline method. Then, the equivalent magnetic circuit modelled by the permeance method including airgap reluctance, which is a function of displacement, is obtained. The static thrust which is the derivative of coenergy is computed by Newton Raphson method at each dispacement. And, in order to investigate the characteristics of the DLPM, the thrust shows as a function of displacement, input current and air gap. The simulation resuls are compared with experimental ones obtained from the DLPM with 2 phase and 4 poles.

High precision step motor using Terfenol-D linear actuators is proposed and its performance is tested. Four Terfenol-D linear actuators are set up perpendicular to the rotor and saw-tooth current signals are applied on the actuators. It was found that the rotation angle is increased as the excitation current, the inertia of the rotor, and the contact force between the rotor and the push device are increased. The rotation angle per step of $0.001^{\circ}$ and blocking torque of 0.2Nm are achieved. The effect of the time delay between the excitation signals is also investigated.
