In this study, a SCR system is employed to selectively reduce $NO_X$, which is a major cause of environmental pollution and issues in diesel engines. In particular, this paper focuses on the combination of feedforward injection strategies, depending on the NO/$NO_X$ ratio, and feedback injection control, using $NH_3$ coverage ratio, based on a SCR model. A 2.2 L passenger diesel engine, which is equipped with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particle filter (DPF), was used in the experiments. The developed control algorithm is implemented on a real-time computer with injection control algorithm. By analyzing the $NO_X$ emission measurement, the performance of the proposed injection control algorithm is verified.

An analytical solution to generate attitude command profile for agile spacecraft is proposed. In realistic environment, obtaining analytical minimum-time optimal solution is very difficult because of following constraints-: 1) actuator saturation, 2) flexible mode excitation, 3) uplink command bandwidth limit. For that reasons, this paper applies two simplifications, an eigen-axis rotation and a finite-jerk approximated profile, to derive the solution in an analytical manner. The resulting attitude profile can be used as a feedforward or reference input to on-board attitude controller, and it can enhance spacecraft agility. Equations of attitude command profile are derived in two general boundary conditions: rest-to-rest maneuver and spin-to-spin maneuver. Simulation results demonstrate that the initial and final boundary conditions, in terms of time, attitude, and angular velocities, are well satisfied with the proposed analytical solution. The derived attitude command generation algorithm may be used to minimize a number of parameters to be uploaded to spacecraft or to automate a sequence of attitude command generation on-board.

This article deals with the problem of designing a robust algorithm for the motion control of robot manipulator whose nonlinear dynamics contain various uncertainties. To ensure high performance of control system, a model-based feedforward compensation with continuous robust control has been developed. The control structure based on the deterministic approach consists of two parts : the nominal control law is first introduced to stabilize the system without uncertainties, then a robust nonlinear control law is adopted to compensate for both the resulting errors(or structured uncertainties) and unstructured uncertainties. The uncertainties assumed in this study are bounded by polynomials in the Euclidean norms of system states with known bounding coefficients. The presented control scheme is relatively simple as well as computationally efficient. With a feasible class of desired trajectories, the proposed control law provides sufficient criteria which guarantee that all possible responses of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded in the presence of uncertainties. Therefore, the control algorithm proposed is shown to be robust with respect to the involved uncertainties.

This paper deals with a novel full digital control of the single-phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) inviter for UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supp1y). The voltage and current of output filter capacitor as a state variable are the feedback control input. In the proposed scheme a double deadbeat control consisting of minor current control loop and major voltage control loop have been developed In addition, a second order deadbeat currents control which should be exactly equal to its reference in two sampling time without error and overshoot is proposed to remove the influence of the calculation time delay. The load current prediction is achieved to compensate the load disturbance. The simulation and experimental result shows that the proposed system offers an output voltage with THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) less than 5% at a full nonlinear load.

This study focuses on model identification and a 2-DOF PID control algorithm for cooling processes; a pneumatic butterfly-type control valve is used for this purpose. The mathematical model is a transfer function composed of a time delay and a second-order delay system. The control valve is identified as a first-order delay system with a time delay and included in the controlled plant. From the experimental data sets for a demo plant, the model parameters are identified, and the 2-DOF PID control gains are analytically derived by Kitamori's method. We show via a computer simulation and an experimental test that the performance of the proposed 2-DOF PID control system is better than that of a conventional 1-DOF PID control system.

This paper studies the design of a two-DOF optimal controller for the strip gauge-tension of cold tandem mill processes, that uses a reference shaping filter and a disturbance observer. First, a mathematical model of the strip gauge and tension system is constructed using the gauge meter equation and Hooke's law, respectively. Next, a two-DOF controller considering of a feedforward controller and a feedback controller is designed. The former is based on the reference shaping filter and the disturbance observer, and the latter is based on the ILQ optimal control algorithm. Finally, it is shown through a computer simulation that the proposed optimal controller is able to improve the strip gauge accuracy and the tension variation more than the conventional MV-AGC controller.

In this paper, an approach to designing controllers for the tension/movement control of working robot to install a stringing wire cable is presented. To design a controller, when the robot moves a certain distance maintaining constant tension, the dynamic model of a stringing wire cable which considers effects of weights according to changing lengths is presented. Also the tension at startup of the working robot is studied by numerical analysis which is based on the equation of the dynamic wire model. From the dynamic model for a stringing wire cable, working robot for tension/movement control is suggested and designed a feedforward controller with a accelerator gain to suppress a mutual interference of the both tasks of tension/movement control. Depending on the operating conditions of the working robot, the effectiveness of the suggested system has been verified by the simulation and experimental results.

Servo systems became indispensable to applications such as industrial robots and numerically controlled machinery. Especially, induction motor drives are widely used as ac-servo system owing to the fact that it is maintenance-free. At the present time, Quick torque control methods such as vector control have been employed that enables an induction motor to attain as quick torque response as a dc motor. However, these methods can not be realized without knowing several motor parameters accurately, because the methods need them to calculate flux or voltage command. Most of all, secondary resistance has to be identified accurately, because it's value varies greatly for operation of induction motors. In this paper, a new identification method of secondary resistance based on quick torque control system of induction motors is proposed. The proposed method is derived theoretically from motor circuit equation and can be realized very simply by detecting primary current and voltage command of the motor. Through the numerical simulation considered using PWM inverter, the validity of the proposed method was successfully confirmed.

A Loss-in-Weight (LIW) feeder, a type of automated measuring device, is a continuous feeder used in many mass production industries. Due to its versatility, there have been constant demands of LIW feeders in food production supply lines as well as chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In this paper, the process of designing a LIW feeder system with better performance will be examined and compared with commercial products. This system is characterized by low pass Butterworth filter and feed forward PI control. The filter is for noise disposal caused by dynamic condition of a LIW feeder. The feed forward PI control, based on linearity feature of feeders, is adequate for stable driving of the system. At the end, a possible evaluation method of LIW system will be proposed to verify the specific achievement of this paper.

We propose a novel adaptive feed forward controller (AFC) design method for rejecting the effect of micro actuator resonance in the design of dual-stage actuator servo systems for disk drives. Microactuator's resonance is one of important issues in dual-stage actuator servo, which varies up to ${\pm}10%$ per product and even during operation. We derive an adaptive algorithm for the proposed AFC design, which turns out to be identical to the delayed-x LMS algorithm which is a special form of the filtered-x LMS algorithm. In the algorithm, coefficients of the AFC are adapted by the residuals of constrained structure defined in such a way that the coefficients become time invariant. Contrary to the conventional AFC, it considers the phase delay of closed-loop transfer function at resonance frequency for system stability. We also apply an adaptive algorithm with frequency tracking capability. The frequency tracking algorithm is induced by the orthogonality of AFC coefficients. Computer simulations are carried out to demonstrate effect of the proposed AFCs.
