This paper presents the design and fabrication model of a touchpad based on a contact-resistance-type force sensor. The touchpad works as a touch input device, which can sense contact location and contact force simultaneously. The touchpad is 40 mm wide and 40 mm long. The touchpad is fabricated by using a simple screen printing technique. The contact location is evaluated by the calibration setup, which has a load cell and three-axis stages. The location error is approximately 4 mm with respect to x-axis and y-axis directions. The force response of the fabricated touchpad is obtained at three points by loading and unloading of the probe. The touchpad can detect loads from 0 N to 2 N. The touchpad shows a hysteresis error rate of about 11% and uniformity error rate of about 3%.

An iron-cored voltage transformer(VT) is usually used to obtain the standard low voltage signal for protection and measurement. Generally, the iron-cored transformers have errors due to the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core. An error compensating algorithm for iron-cored instrument transformer can improve the accuracy of conventional voltage transformers. This paper describes the iron-cored electronic voltage transformer having the error compensating algorithm. The innovative product composes an iron-cored VT and an intelligent electronic device(IED) having the error compensating algorithm. The test results of the iron-cored electronic voltage transformers in Korea Electro-technology Research Institute(KERI) are presented.

Instrument transformers provide the reproduction of the primary current or voltage to the measuring and protecting devices. The errors of an iron-cored transformer are caused by the difference between the primary and secondary currents due to the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core. An error compensating algorithm for instrument transformer can improve the accuracy of conventional current and voltage transformers. This paper describes the performances of the electronic current and voltage transformers mounted an error compensating algorithm. The test results of the electronic transformers in Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute(KERI) are presented.

In this paper, a performance evaluation of different current regulators for induction motor drive systems fed by IGBT inverter is presented. The twoparts of current regulation are considered : current error compensation part, voltage modulation part. The characteristics of hysteresis, synchronous PI, decoupled PI, predictive, deadbeat and stage feedback controllers are analyzed and the steady-state performances and transient responses of current regulation are well compared through the simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, an advanced torque control scheme of SRM using DITC(Direct Instantaneous Torque Control) and PWM(pulse width modulation) is investigated. The proposed DITC-PWM regulates a duty ratio of the phase switch according to the torque error and simple control rules of DITC without any hysteresis bandwidth. The proposed control method is verified by the simulations and experimental results.

This paper presents the straightness compensation system which is a device for improving the machining accuracy of ultra-precision machines by synchronizing the position of diamond tool tip with machine error motion. Sine it is actuated by piezoelectric actuator with highly nonlinear hysteresis characteristics, the feedback control schemes such as Proportional Integral(PI), are required and realized by measuring the displacements of diamond tool tip. for the better tracking performance, the controller was implemented using TMS320C32 32bit floating-point DSP which is fast so that the real-time control is possible. In addition, stand alone type DSP board was chosen fur the easy assembly into the ultra-precision machines. The experimental results show good command tracking performance and the motion error of the machine is satisfactorily compensated during the machining process.

This paper presents a new method for the estimation of State of Charge (SOC) for NiMH batteries. Among the conventional methods to estimate SOC, Coulomb Counting is widely used, but this method is not precise due to error integration. Another method that has been proposed to estimate SOC is by using a measurement of the Open Circuit Voltage (OCV). This method is found to be a precise one for SOC estimation. In NiMH batteries, the hysteresis characteristic of OCV is very strong compared to other type of batteries. Another characteristic of NiMH battery to be considered is that the OCV of a NiMH battery under discharging mode is lower than it is under charging mode. In this paper, the OCV is modeled by a simple method based on a hyperbolic function which well known as Takacs’s model. The OCV model is then used for SOC estimation. Although the model is simple, the error is within 10%.

This study studied how the clearance, overlap and mismatch errors of spool-sleeve affect the static pressure characteristics of a servo valve. A computer simulation model was established as a direct acting servo valve and a series of simulations was conducted for various values of clearance, overlap and mismatch errors. Pressure gain decreased as the clearance increased. The overlap also affects the pressure gain and was similar to the effect of clearance. Asymmetry of the pressure plot got worse and worse as the mismatch error increased.

In this paper, we describe the development of a force sensor to measure the tool gripping force of the BT50 spindle. The force sensor for a BT50 must be installed inside the gripping force tester; hence, it must be of an appropriate size and have a rated capacity suitable for measuring the gripping force. So, the structure of the force sensor for BT50 was modeled, the size of the sensing part was determined by structural analysis, and the force sensor was manufactured by attaching a strain gauge. The characteristic test results of the manufactured force sensor, indicated that the nonlinearity error, hysteresis error, and reproducibility errors were each within 0.91%, Therefore it was determined that the manufactured force sensor can be used for checking the spindle tool gripping force.
