An actuator system is a type of motor designed to control a mechanism operated by a source of energy, in the form of an electric current by converting energy into some kind of motion. As audio actuators, transforming electric voltage signal into audio signal, speakers and amplifiers are commonly used. In applications of industry, high output power systems are required. For these systems to generate high-quality output, it is essential to control output impedance of audio systems. We have developed an adaptable power supply for driving active amplifier systems with variable loads. Depending on the changing values of resistance of the speaker which produces audible sound by transforming electric voltage signal, the power supply source of the active amplifier can generate the maximum power delivered to the speaker by an adaptable change of loads. The amplifier is well protected from the abrupt increment of peak current and an excess of current flow.

Due to the fast growing rate of the global container trade, every major port is under the pressure of meeting the projected capacity demand. As a result, alternative solutions have been sought for improving capacity and meeting the growing demand for container storage area and terminal capacity. Moreover, material handling process re-engineering is now a critical issue for logistics and supply chain managers of airline, shipping lines, terminal and warehousing enterprises around the world. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop the 3D simulator for executing performance valuation of port transportation systems. The developed 3D simulator system is to measure the effectiveness of the proposed total system and compare it with existing practices. The performance analysis variables are also defined for these comparisons.

PID 제어는 50년의 역사를 갖기 때문에 현장의 사용자는 이 제어방식에 익숙해져 있으며, 제어장치의 구성이 간단하며 제어기의 최적동조가 가능하므로 많은 분야에서 사용되고 있다[1]. 그러나 PID 제어기에 의해서 얻은 결과에 대하여 만족하기 위해서는 많은 시행착오를 겪어야 한다. 또한 만족하는 결과를 얻었다고 할지라도 외란, 플랜트의 동특성이 바뀌는 경우 시스템을 추종하지 못하기 때문에 파라미터를 재조정하여야 한다. 유전 알고리즘은 자연세계의 진화 현상에 기초한 계산모델로서 John Holland에 의해서 1975년에 개발된 전역적인 최적화 알고리즘이며[1][2], 비선형 고차원, 불연속, 다중모드, 노이즈 함수 등에 대하여 강건함을 보여주고, 복잡한 탐색 공간에서 최적 값을 스스로 발견하는 학습 능력을 갖는다. 이 방법은 재생산, 교배, 돌연변이를 통하여 최적해를 찾은 방법으로 1989년에 D. E. Goldgerg에 의해서 체계적으로 정리된 후 여러 분야에서 응용되고 있다[3][4]. 그러나 유전 알고리즘은 목적함수만을 이용하여 해집단을 탐색하기 때문에 숙련운전자가 원하는 제어 특성 명세인 상승시간, 정착시간, 초과량(oveshoot) 둥을 구체적으로 명시하여 제어에 반영할 수 없다. 또한, 유전 알고리즘은 입력 값이 크게 바뀔 경우 다른 시스템으로 인식하여 새로운 탐색을 수행하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 첫째, 기준모델을 도입하여 플랜트의 성능을 기준모델로 표현하여 플랜트가 요구하는 성능지표를 정량적으로 규정하는 것이 가능하였다. 또한, 이것은 미지 플랜트 동특성을 식별하기 위한 신호로 사용되어, 플랜트의 정보를 얻는데 이용되었다. 즉, 기준모델과 플랜트 출력사이의 추종 오차 정보가 적응기구인 PID 유전제어기의 입력으로 사용되며, 구형파 입력의 경우에도 기준모델과 플랜트의 출력차는 크게 변하지 않는다. 따라서, 유전 알고리즘의 목적함수에 기준 모델을 제안 적용하여 안정적이고, 세밀한 제어를 수행하였다. 둘째, PID의 간단하면서 확실한 제어가 가능하다는 점과 전역적인 최적값을 찾을 수 있는 유전 알고리즘을 적용하여 고속제어를 요하는 직류 서보 모터(DC Servo Motor) 운전 시 실시간 파라미터 동조에 적용하였다.

In this study, we propose a new method for estimating the IMEP using difference pressure, which is the pressure difference between the cylinder pressure and the motoring pressure. The estimated IMEP, denoted as $IMEP_{diff}$, optimizes the theoretical IMEP calculation range based on the fact that the difference pressure exists between the start and the end of combustion. $IMEP_{diff}$ is verified to have a high linear correlation with IMEP with $R^2$ of 0.9955. The proposed method can estimate the IMEP with 21% of the cylinder pressure data and 31% of the calculation effort compared to the theoretical IMEP calculation method, and therefore, it has great potential for real-time implementations. The estimation and control performance of $IMEP_{diff}$ is validated by engine experiments, and by controlling $IMEP_{diff}$, the torque variation between the cylinders was reduced.

A predictive controller is designed based upon stochastic methods for compensation time-delay effect on a system which has inherent time-delay caused by the spatial separation between controllers and actuators. The predictive controller estimates current outputs through linear prediction methods and probability functions utilizing previous outputs, and minimizes the malicious phenomena caused by the time-delay in precision control systems. To demonstrate effectiveness of this control methodology, we applied this algorithm for the control of a tele-operated DC servomotor. The experimental results show that this predictive controller is superior to the PID controller in terms of convergence-characteristics, and show that this controller expands the maximum allowable time-delay for a system maintaining the stability. Since the proposed predictor does not require models of plants - it requires only stochastic information for outputs --, it is a general scheme which can be applied for the control of systems which are difficult to model or the compensator of PID control.

The use of linear DC motor is spreaded according to industrial development. This study was objected to study the analysis of double side excitation LDM with moving magnet type. In this LDM structure, the mover made use of permanent magnet with six pieces so as to large thrust, the stator was bedded for the multi separated type winding to repress the i개n saturation. Also, double side excitation winding is suppressed to thrust ripple with stratification to zigzag type and designed to production for static thrust. Then it is important to ratio of permanent magnet to winding width at multi separate, this paper analyzed to separate to three pieces of 1:1, 1:0.84 and 1:0.5 with width ratio. The analysis method calculated the parameter useful for permeance and magnetic resistance more than FEM of complicated numerical value analysis. Through manufactured experiment system, measurement result of thrust was almost acquired to constant thrust for all displacement.

Model reference control is control method such that overall response of a plant plus controller approaches that of a given reference model. The reference model provides desired trajectory the plant should follow. There are many kinds of control methods in MRC. However, this paper focuses on Model Reference Sliding Mode Control. The plant of these controls is an uncertain and linear system varying in time, of second order, and with SISO. In this paper, a design scheme of reference model is proposed for MRSMC. The scheme determines reference model based on the information on bounded control inputs, reference inputs and system parameters. It is used to choose a Fixed Reference Model in the process of controller design, to update Variable Reference Model when stepwise reference inputs change and to update Instant Reference Model at every sampling time. The simulation results show that the proposed method yields better control performance than the conventional MRC subject to the stepwise reference input when applied to the position control system for motor system.

A circulation water channel with observational section of $4m{\times}2.4m{\times}1m(length{\times}breadth{\times}depth)$ and the maximum channel flow speed of 2 m/sec was designed for model tests of fishing gears. It consists of 6 sections evenly divided for easy connection. Two observational acryl windows of $1.2m{\times}1.5m$ and 2cm thick are provided. Steel deflection plates, equally spaced in 20-40cm, are fixed at corners of the channel to reduce the loss of water pressure head through the channel. The flow in the channel is controlled by D.C. motor control system with 50 H.P. driving propeller system. A series of model testing capabilities for fishing gear have been examined and the results are as follows. 1) The speed of water flow was in the range from zero to 2.3 m/sec. 2) The difference between the velocity of channel flow along the center line and that along both sides in the channel was less than 0.2 m/sec.

Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous motors (IPMSM) with concentrated winding are superior to distributed winding in the power density point of view. But it causes huge amount of eddy current losses on the permanent magnet. This paper presents the optimal permanent magnet V-shape on the rotor of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor to reduce the core losses and improve the performance. Each eddy current loss on permanent magnet has been investigated in detail by using FEM (Finite Element Method) instead of equivalent magnetic circuit network method in order to consider saturation and non-linear magnetic property. Simulation-based design of experiment is also applied to avoid large number of analyses according to each design parameter and consider expected interactions among parameters. Consequently, the optimal design to reduce the core loss on the permanent magnet while maintaining or improving motor performance is proposed by an optimization algorithm using regression equation derived and lastly, it is verified by FEM.

In this paper, we propose a walking aid system that guides route to visually impaired people in order to recognize uncertain obstacles based on tactile stimulation. The proposed system is composed of the touch-based obstacle detection module, the obstacle height detection module, and the route guidance algorithms. The touch-based obstacle detection module detects each obstacle, which is located at left, right, and front of a visually impaired person by stimulating his thumb with the rotational force of the servomotor. The obstacle height detection module integrates detected data by the linear arrangement of ultrasonic sensors to identify the height of an obstacle about 3 of-phase(i.e., high, medium, low). The proposed route guidance algorithm guides an optimized path to the visually impaired person by updating his current position information based on the signal of the built-in GPS receiver in smartphone. In addition, the route guidance algorithm delivers information with speech to a visually impaired person through Bluetooth commuination in the developed route guidance app. The proposed system can create a path to avoid the obstacles by recognizing the placed situation of the obstacles with exploring the uncertain path.
