The hysteresis control method has been frequently used for current control of power conversion equipments or motor drive systems. This method makes the measured signal follow the reference signal by changing the control signal whenever the error signal exceeds the preset band width. In this paper, hysteresis control method with fast response characteristics is applied for active noise control to suppress acoustic noise. Both Pentium processor and sound blaster 16 are used for experimental implementation, which executes A/D, D/A conversion and also is used as operating source of loudspeaker for audible noise cancellation.

In this paper, we propose a hard handover algorithm for a base station's self-optimization, one of the automatic operational technologies for the 3GPP LTE systems. The proposed algorithm simultaneously considers a mixed target sell selection method for optimal selection and a multiple parameter based active hysteresis method with the received signal strength from adjacent cells and the cell load information of the candidate target cells from information exchanges between eNBs through X2 interface. The active hysteresis method chooses optimal handover hysteresis value considering the costs of the various environmental parameters effect to handover performance. The algorithm works on the optimal target cell and the hysteresis value selections for a base station's automatic operational optimization of the LTE system with the gathered informaton effects to the handover performance. The simulation results show distinguished handover performances in terms of the most important performance indexes of handover, handover failure rate and load balancing.

We have investigated the hysteresis phenomenon of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) and analyzed the effect of hysteresis phenomenon when a-Si:H TFT is a pixel element of active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED). When a-Si:H TFT is addressed to different starting gate voltages, such as 10V and 5V, the measured transfer characteristics with 1uA at $V_{DS}$ = 10V shows that the gate voltage shift of 0.15V is occurred due to the different quantities of trapped charge. When the step gate-voltage in the transfer curve is decreased from 0.5V to 0.05V, the gate-voltage shift is decreased from 0.78V to 0.39V due to the change of charge do-trapping rate. The measured OLED current in the widely used 2-TFT pixel show that a gate-voltage of TFT in the previous frame can influence OLED current in the present frame by 35% due to the change of interface trap density induced by different starting gate voltages.

Semi-active devices use the building's own motion to produce resistive forces and are thus strictly dissipative and require little power. Devices that independently control the binary open/closed valve state can enable novel device hysteresis loops that were not previously possible. However, some device hysteresis loops cannot be obtained without active analog valve control allowing slower, controlled release of stored energy, and is presents an ongoing limitation in obtaining the full range of possibilities offered by these devices. This in silico study develops a proportional-derivative feedback control law using a validated nonlinear device model to track an ideal diamond-shaped force-displacement response profile using active analog valve control. It is validated by comparison to the ideal shape for both sinusoidal and random seismic input motions. Structural application specific spectral analysis compares the performance for the non-linear, actively controlled case to those obtained with an ideal, linear model to validate that the potential performance will be retained when considering realistic nonlinear behaviour and the designed valve control approach. Results show tracking of the device force-displacement loop to within 3-5% of the desired ideal curve. Valve delay, rather than control law design, is the primary limiting factor, and analysis indicates a ratio of valve delay to structural period must be 1/10 or smaller to ensure adequate tracking, relating valve performance to structural period and overall device performance under control. Overall, the results show that active analog feedback control of energy release in these devices can significantly increase the range of resetable, valve-controlled semi-active device performance and hysteresis loops, in turn increasing their performance envelop and application space.

The present paper proposes a sliding mode control with fixed switching frequency for three-phase three-leg voltage source inverter based four-wire shunt active power filter. The aim is to improve phase current waveform, neutral current mitigation, and reactive power compensation in electric power distribution system. The performed sliding mode for active filter current control is formulated using elementary differential geometry. The discrete control vector is deduced from the sliding surface accessibility using the Lyapunov stability. The problem of the switching frequency is addressed by considering hysteresis comparators for the switched signals generation. Through this method, a variable hysteresis band has been established as a function of the sliding mode equivalent control and a predefined switching frequency in order to keep this band constant. The proposed control has been verified with computer simulation which showed satisfactory results.

New direct and indirect current control methods for a fault-tolerant active power filter topology are presented in this paper. Since a three-phase four-switch topology has a phase bridge current which cannot be directly controlled, a hysteresis control method in the α-β plane which controls the three-phase current in the two-phase stationary coordinate system is proposed. The improved SVPWM algorithm is able to eliminate the operation of the trigonometric functions in the traditional algorithm by rotating the α-β coordinates and alternating the sequence of the output vectors, which in turn simplifies the algorithm and reduces the switching frequency. The selection of the DC-side reference voltage and DC-side capacitor equalization strategy are also discussed. Simulation and experiments demonstrate that the proposed control method is correct and feasible.

In this paper, an Active Power Filter (APF) is implemented using a dSPACE DS1104 processor to compensate harmonics and reactive power produced by nonlinear load. The reference source current is computed based on the measurement of harmonics in the supply voltage and load current. A hysteresis based current controller has been implemented in a DSP processor for injecting the compensating current into the power system, so that APF allows suppression of the harmonics and reactive power component of load current, resulting in a supply current that is purely sinusoidal. Simulation and experimental results of the proposed APF to meet the IEEE-519 standards are presented.

Although Active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) display has a better image quality in terms of viewing angle, contrast ratio, and response time than liquid crystal displays (LCDs), it still has some critical issues such as lifetime, residual images, and brightness non-uniformity due to non-uniformity in electrical characteristics of driving TFTs and IR drops on supplied power line. Among them, we improved irrecoverable residual images of AMOLED displays which is mainly related to the hysteresis characteristics of driving TFTs. We consider four kinds of surface treatment conditions before gate oxide deposition for improving hysteresis characteristics. We can reduce the hysteresis level of p-channel TFT to 0.23 V, interface trap states between the poly-Si layer and gate insulator to $3.11{\times}10^{11}cm^{-2}$, and output current variation of p-channel TFT to 3.65 % through the surface treatment using ultraviolet light and H2 plasma. Therefore, the recoverable residual image problem of AMOLED displays can be improved by surface treatment using ultraviolet light and $H_2$ plasma.

This paper presents active silencing by hysteresis control method and shows its audible noise reduction effect. A Pentium processor and sound blaster 16 card are used for its implementation. The Sound-Blaster 16 executes the A/D, D/A conversion and is used for operating source of lodspeaker for cancelling. As a result, between the frequency range of 100[Hz] and 200[Hz] there is an audible noise reduction effect from 9[dB] to 15[dB], and between the 300[Hz] and 500[Hz] range there is a reduction from 3[dB] to 5[dB].
