In this paper, a novel offset-based single-state pulse width modulation (PWM) method for achieving zero common-mode voltage (CMV) and reducing switching losses in multilevel inverters is presented. The specific active switching state of the zero common-mode (ZCM) voltage that approximates the reference voltage can be deduced from the switching state sequence of the reduced CMV phase disposition PWM (CMV PD PWM) method. From the reference leg voltages for the zero common-mode voltage, an N-to-2-level transformation defines a virtual two-level inverter and the corresponding nominal leg voltage references. The commutation process of the reduced CMV PD PWM method in a multilevel inverter and its outputs can be simply followed in a nominal switching time diagram for the virtual inverter. The characteristics of the reduced CMV PD PWM and the single-state PWM for zero common-mode voltage are analyzed in detail in this paper. The theoretical analysis of the proposed PWM method is verified by experimental results.

This paper describes the dual mode control of the LDM(Linear DC motor) for carrier. The dual mode control consists of seek and analogue control. In seek mode, LDM is moved in the shortest time by switching line, and in analogue mode keeps at origion with high accuracy. We proposed different switching line method according to driving direction.

A very efficient packet transmission scheme is needed in the radio environment where radio resource is insufficient as compared with the environment of the wired communication. In general, dual mode packet transmission scheme is used broadly. Packets are transmitted through the dedicated or common chamois according to a switching criterion. The general criteria are the length and generation frequency of packet, that is, large and frequent packets are transmitted using a dedicated channel and small and infrequent packets are transmitted using a common channel. The performance of dual mode packet transmission scheme is closely related to the switching criteria. However, it is very difficult to find the optimal switching point because that is not fixed but variable according to the environment such as traffic load, length of generated packets, and the number of channels. In this paper, a new scheme for the dual mode packet transmission scheme using a dynamic switching threshold is proposed where the switching threshold is not fixed but variable according to the network environment. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed using a simulation. From the simulation results, it is shown that the performance of the proposed scheme is not very influenced by the network environment unlike the conventional dual mode packet transmission scheme.

SiC power device possesses attractive features, such as high breakdown voltage, high-speed switching capability, and high temperature operation. In general, device design has a significant effect on the switching characteristics, In this paper, we demonstrated that the switching performance of DMOSFETs are dependent on the with Channel length ($L_{channel}$) and Current Spreading Layer thickness ($T_{CSL}$) by using 2-D Mixed-mode simulations. The 4H-SiC DMOSFETs with a JFET region designed to block 800 V were optimized for minimum loss by adjusting the parameters of the JFET region, CSL, and epilayer. It is found that improvement of switching speed in 4H-SiC DMOSFETs is essential to reduce the gate-source capacitance and channel resistance. Therefore, accurate modeling of the operating conditions are essential for the optimizatin of superior switching performance.

An industrial robot needs a simple and robust control algorithm obtaining high precision control performance in spite of disturbance and parameter's change. In this paper, for solving this problem, a new sliding mode control algorithm is proposed and applied to the trajectory control of a SCARA type robot. The proposed algorithm has diminished the chattering occurring in sliding mode by setting a dead band along the switching line on the phase plane. It shows that we can easily obtain a simple switching control input satisfying sliding mode in spite of regarding nonlinear terms of a manipulator and servo system as disturbance. A guideline for selection of dead-band width is determined by optimal value of cost function presenting magnitudes of chattering and error. By this algorithm, we can expect the high performance of the trajectory tracking of an industrial robot which needs a robust and simple algorithm.

We have developed vertical alignment liquid crystal display (VA-LCD), of which the viewing angle can be controlled. The VA-LCD has the function of switching between the wide viewing mode and narrow viewing angle mode using one homogeneous aligned (HA) LC layer and one compensation film with a negative C-plate. The retardation of the HA layer at off axis can be controlled by applying an electric field while keeping the retardation value to be zero at normal direction. Consequently, the device exhibits a viewing mode over $170^{\circ}$ in terms of CR = 10 in wide viewing mode and about $60^{\circ}$ in terms of CR = 2 in narrow viewing angle mode m horizontal direction.

A novel fast-switching LCD with dual-domain bend (DDB) mode is described. DDB alignment is achieved using antiparallel-rubbed cell filled with chiral-doped LC. Initial alignment is mono-domain 180-degree twist. Tilt direction is controlled by oblique electric field to be counter direction in each domain. Twist-to-DDB deformation occurs continuously so that DDB mode does not require high-voltage initialization which is inevitable in Optically Compen sated Bend (OCB) mode. DDB gives wide and symmetric viewing angle in contrast to mono-domain bend formed from 180-degree twist showing strong asymmetry.

In this paper, we present robust estimation and detection algorithms for discrete-time switched linear systems whose output measurements are corrupted by noises. First, a mode estimation algorithm is proposed based on the minimum distance criterion. Then, state variables are also observed under the active mode estimate. Second, a detection algorithm is constructed to detect the mode switching of the switched system. With the boundedness of measurement noise, the proposed estimation algorithm returns the exact active mode and approximate state information of the switched system. In addition, the detection algorithm can detect the switching time within a pre-determined time interval after the actual switching occurred.
