To meet the NOx limit without a penalty of fuel consumption, Urea-SCR system is currently regarded as promising NOx reduction technology for diesel engines. SCR system has to achieve maximal NOx conversion in combination with minimal $NH_3$ slip. In this study, map based open loop control for urea injection was developed and assessed in the European Transient Cycle (ETC) for heavy duty diesel engine. The basic urea quantity set-value which was calculated using the look up tables of engine out NOx, exhaust flow rate and optimum NSR resulted in NOx reduction of 80% and the average $NH_3$ slip of 24 ppm and maximum of 79 ppm. In order to reduce $NH_3$ slip, $NH_3$ storage control algorithm was applied to correct the basic urea quantity and reduced $NH_3$ slip levels to the average 15 ppm and maximum 49 ppm while keeping NOx reduction of 76%. With high and increasing SCR temperature, the $NH_3$ storage capacity decreases, which leads to $NH_3$ slip. The resulting $NH_3$ slip peak can be avoided by stopping or significantly reducing the urea injection during the SCR temperature gradient is over $30^{\circ}C/min$.

This paper presents a procedure for designing command to maneuver flexible structure with very little residual vibration, even in the presence of modeling errors. For the open loop maneuver, the various shaped profiles using multiple step inputs delayed in time are considered for robustness and compared with the responses of rigid body and flexible body in virtue of simulations and experiments. Input shaping generates vibration-reducing shaped commands through convolution of an impulse sequence with the desired command. A flexible model with a cylindrical hub and four symmetric appendages is considered to examine the responses to real plant, and to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed shapers. The appendages are long and flexible, leading to low frequency vibration under any control action. It is shown by a series of simulation that a properly designed feedback controller with input shaper performs well, as compared with open loop controller with input shaper. The control objective is to achieve a fast settling time of residual vibration to flexible structure and robustness (insensitivity)to plant uncertainty, to eliminate residual vibration.

The purpose of this paper was to propose a method for improving the performance of the open-loop control of single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (SP-PMSM), based on a square wave voltage injection. Generally, the SP-PMSM driving systems cmprise a full-bridge inverter and asymmetric air-gap structure of magnetic circuit, because a zero torque occurs on the symmetrical air-gap. As a result, it cannot be started at a specific rotor position. Thus, it is possible to cause the start-up failure at an open-loop control for sensorless operation of SP-PMSM. In this paper, the method with square wave voltage injection considering the nonlinearity of the inverter is presented to resolve the problem. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through several experiments.

Automatic Rudder Trim System(ARTS) is a device to reduce the pilot's work load for rudder trimming greatly required in varying abruptly aircraft's engine power. This paper represents a technical analysis and a design of control law of the ARTS. The control law of the ARTS is designed based on the analysis of aircraft's characteristics, system's requirements, and limitations. The control law is comprised of open loop control using the rudder trim map for a specific aircraft and closed loop control to compensate the error of the open loop control system. flight test results show that the ARTS can reduce pilot's work load for rudder trimming dramatically and can compensate the aircraft's transient yaw motion.

A method for on-line tuning of the PID-controller parameters for a discrete-time multivariable process system is presented. And it is based on a step change in the controller set point. The system is presumed to be a linear, open loop stable and known one. The controller parameters are determined by the performance criterion and Fletcher-Powell methods.

The aim of applying Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is to restore a person's motor function by directly supplying the controlled electrical currents to the site of the paralyzed muscles. However, most clinically utilized FES systems have adapted an open-loop control scheme. Recently the closed-loop control scheme has been considered for setting up the FES system, but due to the inherent nonlinearities in the musculoskeletal system, the nonlinearities were not fully compensated and it caused the oscillatory responses for tracking the output variables. In this study, a nonlinear controller model that has two inverse compensation units is proposed with the compromising feedback linearization method and this will eventually be used to design the FES control system for stimulating a knee joint musculoskeletal system.

Piezo actuators are mainly used in precision position control system because of their high position resolution. Although there have been many approaches in open loop control of this, those method turn out to be not effective in precision control due to hysteresis and creep. To overcome the problems, closed loop PI control method is used in commercial products. However, it is very difficult to obtain fast response with conventional PI control although piezo actuator has fast response. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy PI control method with the proposed fuzzy PI controller, we obtains faster settling response over the conventional PI controller. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed method with experimental results.

In this paper, we provide a robust track-following controller design method for the stable coarse seek control. Due to the inaccurate velocity control during a coarse seek, the shake of fine actuator is generated and thus a gain-up track-following control is required to complete stably the coarse seek. To this end, a loop gain adjustment algorithm is introduced to estimate accurately the shake of fine actuator. A weighting function can be properly selected from a minimum tracking gain-up open-loop gain, calculated from the estimated shake quantity of fine actuator. A robust tracking gain-up controller is designed by considering a robust $H_{\infty}$ control problem using the weighting function. The proposed design method is applied to the coarse seek control system of an optical rewritable drive and is evaluated through the experimental results.

In this paper, we consider the stabilization and $H_\infty$ control of linear systems with static output feedback control. The static output feedback control represents the simplest closed-loop control that can be realized in practice, and, moreover, it is less expensive to be implemented and is more reliable. In spite of its advantages, it is one of the open problems which is not sloved analytically or numerically yet. After decompose the closed-loop system into feedback form, by adopting the small gain theorem, we obtain a sufficient condition for stabilization and a sufficient condition for It control expressed as linear matrix inequalites. Finally, we show the usefulness of our results by a numerical example.
