Various torque generating devices have been developed and employed to apply a proper torque. These devices are usually calibrated by the manufacturer to apply appropriate torque levels for their specific implants and attachments. The purpose of this investigation was to determine and compare the accuracy of the torque controllers. In this study, 4 types of torque controllers were used; torque limiting device(TLD), torque indicating device(TID) and contra angle torque driver(CA), electronic torque controller(ETC). Digital torque gauge was employed to measure the de-torque value. Thirty cycles of tightening and loosening were repeated with each torque controller. All implant torque controllers have shown slight errors and deviations. The contra angle torque driver exhibited the most accurate data. In the limitation of this study, it would be recommended that the implant torque controllers should be checked whether uniformed and precise torque can be generated and a measuring error should be corrected.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate the accuracy of how to use the Mechanical Torque-Limiting Devices. Materials and methods: Three different implant manufacturers (Dentium, Osstem, Shinhung) were prepared for each two implant torque controllers. Divided into two groups depending on the method used for removal torque was measured. Repeated measures of ANOVA test (${\alpha}=.05$) was used as statistics to evaluate the effect of repeated loading number on the removal torque. Independent t-test was used to evaluate the difference in removal torque of two groups. Results: The removal torque significantly decreased as the number of loading repetition increased (P<.05). There was significant difference between two groups. Conclusion: Loosen the handle part of the implant torque controllers spring resilience to recover one group compared to the group that did not, showed a little more closed to the reference value.

Tightening of the screws in implant restorations should be accurate and precise. If applied torque is too low, screw loosening would be occurred. With too high torque, the screw fracture might take place. Various torque generating devices are developed and employed to apply a proper torque. The purpose of this investigation was to determine and compare the accuracy of the torque controllers. In this study, 4 types of torque controllers were used; electronic torque controller, torque limiting device, torque indicating device and contra angle torque driver. Digital torque gauge was employed to measure the de-torque value. Thirty cycles of tightening and loosening were done with each torque controller. All implant torque controllers have shown slight errors and deviations. The torque liming device exhibited the most accurate data. No significant difference was found among the mean de-torque values of the electronic torque controller, torque indicating device and contra angle torque driver. In the limitation of this study, it would be recommended that the implant torque controllers should be checked whether uniformed and precise torque can be generated and a measuring error should be corrected.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate the accuracy of the implant torque controller used in dental clinics and to investigate whether it was applied appropriately. Materials and methods: Fifty dentists who work in dental clinics were enrolled in this study. Dental (implant) practice career, experience frequency of implant screw loosening and fracture, education of implant torque controller application and infection control methods were included in the survey. 25 Ncm and 30 Ncm of the tightening torque applied to the implant screw were measured by 50 clinicians. After measuring the torque value by using the torque controller, the torque mean according to where education about the implant torque controller was received was analyzed with independent t-test at the significance level of 0.05. Results: The torque controller used in private dental clinics showed 4.78% error ratio. When 50 dentists applied 25 Ncm to the implant screw was $29.0{\pm}8.4$ Ncm, and that in 30 Ncm was $34.3{\pm}9.1$ Ncm. Statistical significance was found between the group that was educated about implant torque application and the group that was not educated. Conclusion: During the prosthodontic treatment with implant, there was difference between actual applied torsion force and the amount torque controller indicated. Clinicians have to not only be well-informed about the accurate usage method of the torque controller, but also keep and manage the torque controller so as to maintain continuous and accurate torque values. Through this, it is considered to achieve clinical results to minimize problems of screw loosening or fracture.

As the popularity of implant treatment using a variety of problems have been reported. The proper torque values recommended by the manufacturer and the actual tightening force applied to the observed differences. Period for each product used in this study using different torque controllers accuracy for each of the comparisons, were analyzed. Error rate varies by the manufacturer, but all the products used in the reference period for increasing the error rate increased. Repeat the initial tightening, but the reference, showed a value close to the reference value for the width of change was larger. However, increasing the number of repeated tightening of the reference value for the error rate increased, but has reduced the width of the observed changes.

A thrusters modulation method is suggested for spacecraft attitude control with asymmetric configured thrusters during orbit adjustment maneuvers. Attitude is controlled by thrusters off-modulation during orbit maneuvers. Usual control method for symmetric configured thrusters cam not be applied for asymmetric configured thrusters. Disturbance induced from thrusters asymmetricity shall be compensated during pulsing. In this paper, a thrusters control method using null solution is suggested, which is shown working well without inducing disturbance.

최근 진행파형 초음파 모터는 그 구조가 간단하고, 저속 고 토크이어서 직접 구동()용으로 많은 호응을 얻고 있다. 또한 응답이 빠르고, 정지 토크가 크며 설계자유도가 높을 뿐만 아니라 운전시 소음이 없고 자계에 강해 자동화 설비 분야 등 산업 전반에 걸쳐 매우 각광을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 모터의 2상 입력전원의 위상차를 조절하여 속도와 토크 특성을 이론적으로 고찰하고, 이를 토대로 위상차 제어기를 설계 제작하였다. 그리고 이를 이용하여 위상차 제어방식을 채용한 경우 초음파 모터의 위치 및 속도제어는 물론 간단한 알고리즘으로 토크 제어가 가능함을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 검토하였다. 실험 결과 위상차 변화에 따라 속도가 토크가 거의 비례해서 변화하였다. 이것으로 전원 전압의 위상차 조절을 통해서 속도와 토크를 동시에 제어할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 토크센서 없이 각도 센선 만으로도 위치제어는 물론 토크 제어도 큰 오차 없이 행할 수 있음을 밝혔다.

The main objective of a torque controller below rated wind speed is to extract maximum power from the potential wind energy. To do this, the torque control method, which adjusts the torque magnitude and makes it proportional to the square of the generator speed, has been applied. However, this method makes the response slower as the wind turbines are getting larger in size with multi-MW capacities. In this paper, a torque control method that uses the nonlinear parameter of rotor speed for aerodynamic torque as a control gain is discussed to improve the response by adjusting an additional torque magnitude. The nonlinear parameter of the rotor speed could be calculated both online and offline. It is shown that the offline case is more practical and effective in producing power through the numerical simulation of a 2MW wind turbine by considering the real turbulence wind speed.

Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) has become a popular choice in electric vehicle applications, due to their excellent power to weight ratio. The paper is proposed maximum torque control of IPMSM for electric vehicle drive. The control method is applicable over the entire speed range and considered the limits of the inverter's current and voltage rated value. For each control mode, a condition that determines the optimal d-axis current ${^i}_d$ for maximum torque operation is derived. The proposed control algorithm is applied to IPMSM drive system for electric vehicle drive, the operating characteristics controlled by maximum torque control are examined in detail by simulation.

초음파 모터는 고정자와 회전자를 가압마찰하기 위해서 내부에 원형 판 스프링을 이용하고 있다. 출력 토크를 높이기 위해서 이러한 내부 스프링의 강도를 크게 하면 홀딩 토크 역시 커지게 된다. 이로 인하여 기동 시 많은 전류가 소모되며 일반적인 구동 파라미터에 따른 속도 특성 등 기존의 스프링 강도를 지닌 초음파모터(모델명 : 신생공업사(일) USR60-s1)의 특성과는 전혀 다른 특성을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 스프링이 강화된 새로운 타입의 초음파모터(모델명 : 신생공업사(일) USR60-s3)를 가지고 무부하 시의 속도 특성을 실험하였다. 이를 위해 FPGA를 이용해서 디지털 다중 초음파 모터 제어기를 설계하였고, 2상입력 전원의 주파수, 위상차, 주파수-위상차 다중 파라미터 등을 조절하면서 무부하 속도 특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 홀딩토크가 강화된 초음파 모터의 경우 일반적인 기존 초음파 모터와 비교했을 때 전혀 다른 특성을 보이고, 위상차-주파수 다중 파라미터 조절방식이 조절방식임을 보인다.
