This paper proposes an open-switch fault tolerant strategy based on the model predictive control for a full bidirectional switches indirect matrix converter (FBS-IMC). Compared to the conventional Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC), the FBS-IMC can provide healthy current path when open-switch fault is occurred. To keep the continuous operation, the fault tolerant strategy is developed by means of reversing the DC-link voltage polarity regardless of the faulty switch location in the rectifier or inverter stage. Therefore, the proposed control strategy can maintain the same input and output performances during the faulty condition as the normal condition. The simulation results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

In this pater, we have proposed a synthetic main chopper circuit for the chopper controlled electric automobile. The proposed chopper circuit operates as a step-down chopper in powering mode and as a polarity reversion type chopper in regenerative braking mode. In this study, it was found that powering and regenerative braking operations using the separately excited D.C motor can be controlled continuously only by gate signals of the chopper without changing the connection of the circuit.

Using the real-time image processing technique, we have developed an automatic visual inspection system which detects the defects of the surface muonted components in PCB( missing components, mislocation, mismounts, and reverse polarity, etc ) and collects the quality control and production management data. An image processing system based on a commercial parallel processor, TRANSPUTER by which the image processing time can be largely reduced was designed. Analyzing the collected data, the proposed inspection system contributes to the productivity improvement throughthe reduction of defective rate.

Ion exchange polymer membrane in the dehydrated state was found to exhibit bending upon a small applied voltage, although the investigations on the hydrated ion exchange polymer membrane bending behavior have been performed quite intensively for more than a decade for the purpose of producing a practical polymer actuator. Our investigation on the dehydrated ion exchange polymer membrane has revealed that its bending direction is perfectly controllable by the polarity control of applied voltage and the degree of its bending curvature is also almost completely determined by the control of duration time of voltage application on it, while the hydrated ion exchange polymer membranes lack of such properties. Furthermore the longevity of dehydrated ion exchange polymer membrane sustaining such a highly controllable properties has been found quite longer than that of the hydrated ion exchange polymer membrane.

A new method for the electrostatic suspension of disk-shaped objects is proposed which is based on a time-optimal control scheme and deploys only high-voltage power supplies that can deliver dc voltages of positive and/or negative polarity. This method possesses the unique feature that no high-voltage amplifiers are needed which leads to a remarkable system simplification and objects can be suspended stably even in vacuum environment. Using this scheme, an aluminium disk used in a 3.5-inch HDD was suspended stably at an airgap of 0.3mm.

Purpose: This study conducted quantitative sensory test and nociceptive flexion reflex(NFR) measurement to examine degree of pain depending on polarity of high voltage pulsed current(HVPC) of hyperalgesia site in hyperalgesia rat by local thermal injury. mechanical pain threshold, thermal pain threshold and root mean square of NFR were measured. Methods: This study was conducted with control group I of hyperalgesia rat at hind paw by thermal injury and experimental groups divided into cathodal HVPC group II, anodal HVPC group III and alternate HVPC group IV. It measured pain threshold and root mean square(RMS) of NFR and obtained the following results. Results: Mechanical pain threshold of hyperalgeisa site was significantly increased at groups II, III and IV applying HVPC group compared to control group, but there was no difference among HVPC groups. Thermal pain threshold of hyperalgesia site showed a significant increase in group II. Group III showed significant difference after 4 days of hyperalgesia. RMS of NFR at hyperalgeisa site was significantly reduced in group II after 2 days of hyperalgesia. Group III showed significant decrease after 5 and 6 days of hyperalgesia. Conclusion: Consequently it was found that application of HVPC of hyperalgesia site increased pain threshold at hyperalgesia site by mechanical stimuli and thermal stimuli. NFR by electrical stimuli was similar to pain threshold by mechanical stimuli. Effects by polarity of HVPC showed the greatest reduction of hyperalgesia when cathodal electrode was used.

Control of threshold voltage ($V_T$) by ground-plane (GP) technique for planar tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) is studied for the first time using TCAD simulation method. Although GP technique appears to be similarly useful for the TFET as for the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), some unique behaviors such as the small controllability under weak ground doping and dependence on the dopant polarity are also observed. For $V_T$-modulation larger than 100 mV, heavy ground doping over $1{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$ or back biasing scheme is preferred in case of TFETs. Polarity dependence is explained with a mechanism similar to the punch-through of MOSFETs. In spite of some minor differences, this result shows that both MOSFETs and TFETs can share common $V_T$-control scheme when these devices are co-integrated.

A design and control of electrostatic suspension system for flexible objects is presented. A number of electrode pairs of which the number depends on the object flexibility are positioned above the object and the voltages applied to each electrode pair are controlled, independently on the others, on the basis of the gap length. To implement the system with low cost and compactness, switched-voltage control scheme that is based on the relay feedback control is utilized. Relay feedback control method deploys only a single high-voltage power supply that can deliver a DC voltage of positive and/or negative polarity and thus high voltage amplifiers that are costly and bulky are not needed any more. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of the relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping originating from the electrodes and levitated object. Employing fourteen electrode pairs, a thin aluminum plate with a thickness of 0.1 mm has been suspended at a gap length of 0.75mm.

This paper proposes a method of improving the stability in sensor-less control of permanent magnet synchronous motors. The control method for low-speed region is divided into two: One is a high frequency method, which involves a problem of reverse rotation once misdetection of the permanent magnet polarity should occur, and another one is a current drive method, which has a problem that phase and speed oscillations are caused by quick speed changes. Hence, authors propose adoption of the current drive method for the basic control system with added compensation of stabilization by means of the high frequency method. This combination secures stable control with no risk of reversal and less vibration. In addition, authors have also considered a frequency separation filter of a shorter delay time so that current control performance will not lower even when high frequencies are introduced. This filter has achieved simplified compensation using repetitive characteristic through the utilization of the periodicity of high frequency current. Simulation and experiment have been conducted to verify that the stable performance of this system is improved.
