This paper deals with the estimation method on the initial pole position of a z-axis permanent magnet linear synchronous motor(PMLSM) without magnetic pole sensors such as Hall sensors. The proposed method takes account of the gravitational force at z-axis and also the load conditions. The algorithm consists of two steps. The first step is to approximately estimate the initial q-axis by monitoring the movements due to the test current at predefined different test q-axes. The second step is to estimate the real q-axis as accurately as possible by using the outputs corresponding to torques due to the test current at three different test q-axes in order to avoid the effect of load mass variations. Experimental results on the z-axis PMLSM show good estimation characteristics of the proposed method irrespective of load mass conditions.

This paper presents an advanced method for an initial pole position estimation of a Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor(PMLSM) that has an accurate incremental encoder for servo applications but does not have Hall sensors as a magnetic pole sensor. By appropriately using the secant method as a numerical method the proposed algorithm finds either of two zero force positions and then the correct d-axis by applying a q-axis test current. It only requires the tuned current controller and the relative position information md so it can be simply applicable to a rotary PMSM. The experimental results show the validity of the proposed method, which has an excellent performance with respect to an accurate pole position estimation under the minimal moving distance(average of about 85㎛) during the estimation process.

In the phase boundary estimation problem, the estimation performance depends on the initial guess. However, there is no information on the number of bubbles and those positions for the initial guess in real flows. Therefore, it is very important to set appropriate initial guesses from prior information. In this paper, in order to set initial guesses for estimating the phase boundaries in two-phase flows, first, unknown resistivity distribution was estimated using the difference reconstruction method. After that, an adaptive threshold value was automatically computed using intermodes method. Based on this value, the number of bubbles and the initial position were determined. The numerical experiments have been performed to evaluate the estimation performance of the proposed method.

This paper presents map creation algorithm and initial attitude estimation method for the proposed optical head tracker system. The optical head tracker system consists of the IR stereo cameras and infrared LEDs as features on the helmet. In order for the stereo camera to track the luminous LEDs, it must take in to account the light radiation from the LEDs to determine the position of the center points. The proposed map creation algorithm makes map data about the position of features center points on the helmet frame. Also, initial attitude estimation method is proposed to estimate the initial attitude and position of a pilot head from the camera frame by the use of the feature pattern on the helmet. Therefore, the head motion can be expressed with respect to the body frame of a flight.

Passive emitter localization is preferred to use a small number of receivers as possible for the efficiency of strategic management in the field of modern electronic warfare support. Accurate emitter localization can be expected when utilizing continuous measurable parameters and a appropriate combination of theirs. For this reason, we compare CRLB (Cramer-Rao lower bound) of two moving platform with various measurable parameters to choose a appropriate combination of parameters for a better localization performance. And we propose the passive emitter localization method based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with combined TDOA/FDOA and DOA to achieve better accuracy of emitter localization which is located on the ground and stationary. In addition, we present a method for determining the initial emitter position for LM algorithm's input to avoid the divergence of estimation and local minimum.

본 논문에서는 매입형 영구자석 동기 전동기(IPM)의 회전자 초기각 및 전동기 제정수에 대한 정보가 전혀 없는 초기 상태에서 고주파 주입을 통한 제정수 추정기법을 제안한다. IPM 의 경우 정확한 제정수 추정을 위해서는 회전자의 초기각에 대한 정보를 필요로 한다. 고주파 신호 주입에 의한 주입 센서리스 제어 방법을 적용하여 초기 제정수 추정과 동시에 초기각에 대한 정보를 얻고, 이를 바탕으로 제정수를 보다 정밀하게 추정하게 된다. 제안된 방식은 모든 IPM 모터에 적용가능하며, 제정수와 더불어 초기각의 위치도 얻을 수 있어 전동기 제어의 초기 설정에 용이하다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper proposes a simple initial rotor position estimation method to obtain a stable startup performance for back EMF-based sensorless control. The proposed estimation method is achieved at standstill by using the current response to difference between each of the stator winding inductance. This initial rotor position estimation method can be easily implemented to control algorithm without any other external devices. The proposed algorithm is also not affected by motor parameter. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by experimental result.

This paper proposes a new method to acquire an initial rotor position for IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) without a position sensor at standstill. The proposed method is based on the variation of inductance caused by the magnetic saturation of stator core. Minimum number of voltage vectors are chosen to determine the initial rotor position. By using the resultant currents in combination with the inductance variation, the north pole and the absolute position of the rotor can be easily obtained. This method also has the advantage of not requiring motor parameters and additional hardware. Its validity is verified by experiments.

This paper has proposed an algorithm for the initial pole position estimation of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor(PMLSM). The algorithm finds the initial pole position observing the maximum values of a position generated by the new proposed two reference frames for the same force input. So, the proposed algorithm does not utilize the motor parameters and is insensitive to them. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is easily realized because the proposed method is just using PI controller

무선센서네트워크에서 저가의 센서 필드를 구성하기 위해 센서노드의 위치 추정은 매우 중요하다. 소수의 위치를 알고 있는 센서노드인 앵커노드를 이용하여 모든 일반노드들의 위치를 알게 하는 방법으로 DRLS이 있으며, 이 기법은 이전의 기법들에 비해 상대적으로 정확한 위치 추정을 가능하게 한다. 하지만 DRLS는 이웃하는 앵커노드가 없는 일반노드의 경우 위치 추정 정확도를 심각하게 낮추는 에러 전파가 일어나는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 DRLS의 에러전파를 줄이기 위한 Distributed Localization for Reducing Error Propagation (DLREP)를 제안한다. DLREP는 각 일반노드들이 DRLS를 이용하여 위치 추정을 한 뒤 한 번의 추가적인 브로드캐스트를 더 수행하여 각 일반노드가 추가적인 앵커노드의 위치 정보를 얻게 한다. 그리고 이 정보를 이용하여 앵커노드 위치를 중심으로한 초기 위치의 회전을 통해 일반노드의 에러전파가 된 위치에 대한 수정을 가한다. DLREP는 위치 측정이 완료된 DRLS에 적용되어 더 정확한 센서노드의 위치 추정을 할 수 있도록 하는 진보된 위치 추정 기법이다.
