This paper describes the design of a 2-phase stepping motor driver using CPLD(Complex Programmable Logic Device). The driver IC such as L297(SGS-Thomson Microelectronics), which is mostly used has some difficulties in PWM control because of the switching noise of power MOSFETs. It causes current ripple and acoustic noise. To improve theses characteristics, we proposed a new current control method that the output PWM frequency is almost constant using a digital filter. Also we proposed constant current method for 1-2 phase(half step) excitation. The proposed method is implemented with CPLD(Xilinx, XC9572-PC44). Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The conventional $CO_2$ inverter arc machine has constant voltage output characteristic and uses constant wire speed controller for welding current control. By adoption of PWM inverter to the welding machine, the spattering was reduced rather than the thyrister arc welding machine or AC arc welding machine. Moreover, by the high switching frequency, the output reactor size could be reduced evidently. Recently, the studies on optimal voltage and current waveform for the welding performance improvement have been studied. In this paper, a new instantaneous output current control scheme during the short circuit mode was proposed and showed the capability of arc stability improvement and the reduction of spatter generation.

When actual IPMSM is driving, it is difficult to figure out the correct current during the current control period due to the operation speed limit of digital signal processing. Therefore, in order to control IPMSM for electric vehicle efficiently, we should design 2D Look-up Table to find out optimal current reference corresponding to speed and torque of IPMSM. This paper explains the design method of 2D Look-up Table for optimal current control of constant torque area and constant output area of IPMSM for electric vehicle. Finally, experimental results are presented to verify the reliability of 2D Look-up Table.

This paper presents design process of linear induction motor in dynamic tester for catenary-current collection. To minimize length of rail for dynamic tester for catenary-current collection, accelerating performance of the linear induction motor is very important. So the design process of linear induction motor considered in this paper is different with general design process of linear induction motor, because dynamic tester has three type driving region, as accelerating region, constant speed region, and braking region. Considering accelerating performance of motor, distance and time from starting point to constant speed region were concerned for load condition of motor. Designed linear induction motor was analyzed by 2-dimensional finite element method. Using mechanical dynamics simulation with analysis result of 2-dimensional finite element method and accelerating performance of designed motor was proved.

In this study, (Ba, Sr)$TiO_3$ (BST) ceramics thin films were prepared by Sol-Gel method. BST solution was made and spin-coated on Pt/$TiO_2$/Si substrate at 4000 [rpm] for 10 seconds. Coated specimens were dried at 150[$^{\circ}C$] for 5 minutes. Coating process was repeated 3 times and then sintered at 750[$^{\circ}C$] for 30 minutes. Structure and electrical characteristics of specimen was analyzed by Fractal Process. Thickness of BST ceramics thin films are about 2800[$\AA$]. Dielectric constant and loss of thin films was little decreased at 1[kHz]~1[MHz]. Dielectric constant and loss to frequency were 250 and 0.02 in BST3. The property of leakage current as the relation between the current and the voltage was that change of the leakage current was stable when the applied voltage was 0~3[V].

To protect press operator from the after-reach hazard, current Ministry of Labor Notification(MOLN) requires the use of a formula for calculating the safe distance away from the point of operation for locating press protective devices, Two Hand Control Devices(THCD) and Active Opto-Electronic Protective Devices(AOPD), on a power press. This formula is based on a same hand speed constant of 160cm/s. While EN standards use different hand speed constant for THCD and AOPD respectively. The objective of this study is to compare two guidelines on the hand speed constant published by MOLN and EN 692, also to propose a proper hand speed constant and validate it experimentally. As a experimental result, it could be known that hand speed constant of Ministry of Labor Notification should be improved as that of EN standards.

When the automotive body enters an electrocoating tank while applying an electric current, its steel surface is exposed to a very low induced current. Consequently, surface defects of coating may arise if the steel surface has lack of electric uniformity due to local defects such as local oxide. In this study, we investigated the preceding assessment methods to evaluate steel susceptibility of the low induced current during electrocoating before mass production. Prior to general electrocoating, we applied low constant voltage such as 3V or low constant current densities such as $0.35mA/cm^2$ and $0.50mA/cm^2$. In result, we confirmed that such methods were efficient for assessing steel susceptibility of low induce current during electrocoating.

A New Direct AC LED Driver has been proposed for wide output power range and precise constant current regulation using an advanced auto commutation topology. The conventional shunt regulation method provides a stepped input current shape by fixed regulation references in the linear regulator of the each channel, which results in poor current regulation and high THD. The conventional method needs to assign a linear regulator in each LED channel so that the number of linear regulator increases when extending the number of channels especially at high power application. The proposed regulation method can drive multiple switches to regulate each LED channel current by a single amplifier with sinusoidal reference so that large number of LED channel can be simply extended with less BOM cost and low THD is obtained with the accurate current regulation thanks to the sinusoidal input current control in the closed loop control. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a 20-W LED driver prototype are presented.

In order to spread LED lighting, LED lighting technology directly driven by alternating current (AC) commercial power has recently been introduced. Since current does not flow at a voltage lower than the threshold voltage of the LED, a non-conductive section occurs in the current waveform, and the higher the threshold voltage of the LED, the more discontinuous current waveforms are generated. In this paper, multi-LED modules are connected in series so that the threshold voltage can be adjusted according to the number of LED modules. A small number of LED modules are driven at a low instantaneous rectified voltage, and a large number of LED modules are driven at a high instantaneous rectified voltage to lengthen the overall lighting time of AC-LED lighting, thereby minimizing the luminance deviation of AC-LED lighting. In addition, the load current flowing through the LED module is adjusted to be the same as the design current even at the maximum rectified voltage higher than the design voltage, so that the light brightness of the LED module is kept constant. Therefore, even if the rectified voltage applied to the LED module changes, the AC-LED lighting in which the light brightness is constant and the luminance deviation is minimal has been realized.

The electric resistance and constant current were investigated on the nickel-thallium-phosphorus alloy deposits by electroless-plating. The Ni-Tl-P alloy deposits were achieved with a bath using sodium hypophosphit as the reducing agent and sodium citrate as the comlexing agent. The basic plating solution is composed of 0.1M NiSO$_4$, 0.005${\sim}$0.0IM Tl$_2$S0$_4$, 0.1${\sim}$O.2M sodium hypophosphite and 0.02${\sim}$O.IM sodium citrate and the plating condition were pH 5${\sim}$6, temperrature 80$_4$90${\circ}$C. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) The crystal structure of deposit was amorphous structure as deposited state, became microcrystallized centering on Ni(111) plane by heat treatment at 200${\circ}$C, and grew as polycrystalline Ni, Ni$_3$P, Ni$_5$p$_2$,Tl, etc. by heat treatment higher than 350${\circ}$C. The grain size of plated deposits was grown up to 28.3~42.0nm by heat treatment for 1hour at 500${\circ}$C. 2) The electrical resistivity showed a comparatively high value of 192.5$_4$208.3 ${\mu}$${\Omega}$Cm and its thermal stability was great with resistivity value less than 0.22% in the thermal surroundings of 200${\circ}$C. 3) Ni-Tl-P alloy deposit showed such good constant current-making-effect in the variation of electric voltage, heat treatment temperature, and the composition of the deposit that it can be put to practical use as the matter of constant current device.
