Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the joint angle of the lower extremities during sit-to-stand movements with wearable sensors based on a portable gait analysis system (PGAS), and the results were compared with a analysis system (MAS) to predict the clinical potential of it. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Sixteen persons with stroke (9 males, 7 females) participated in this study. All subjects had the MAS and designed PGS applied simultaneously and eight sensor units of designed PGAS were placed in a position to avoid overlap with the reflexive markers from MAS. The initial position of the subjects was 90º of hip, knee, and ankle joint flexion while sitting on a chair that was armless and backless. The height of the chair was adjusted to each individual. After each trial, the test administrator checked the quality of data from both systems that measured sit-to-stand for test-retest reliability and concurrent validity. Results: As a result, wearable sensor based designed PGAS and MAS demonstrated reasonable test-retest reliability for the assessment of joint angle in the lower extremities during sit-to-stand performance. The intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) for wearable sensor based designed PGAS showed an acceptable test-retest reliability, with ICCs ranging from 0.759 to 0.959. In contrast, the MAS showed good to excellent test-retest reliability, with ICCS ranging from 0.811 to 0.950. In concurrent validity, a significant positive relationship was observed between PGAS and MAS for variation of joint angle during sit-to-stand movements (p<0.01). A moderate to high relationship was found in the affected hip (r=0.665), unaffected hip (r=0.767), affected knee (r=0.876), unaffected knee (r=0.886), affected ankle (r=0.943) and unaffected ankle (r=0.823) respectively. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that wearable sensor based designed PGAS showed acceptable test-retest reliability and concurrent validity in persons with stroke for sit-to-stand movements and wearable sensors based on developed PGAS may be a useful tool for clinical assessment of functional movement.

An automatic guidance system for combine was designed to harvest paddy rice by following a predetermined path. The automatic guidance system consisted of DGPS to locate position of combine, a gyro sensor system to measure heading angle, ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles, a hydraulic system, microcomputer as a controller, and I/O interface system. Hydraulic cylinders and valves were installed to control movement of the combine. The heading angle and the position of the combine, and ultrasonic measurements from edge were used as the inputs of the controller. The operating position of hydraulic cylinder was determined as output of the controller. The automatic guidance system was evaluated at the 45-m straight path by changing the posture of the combine. The average RMS errors were 14.0 cm without offset and 15.0 cm with 1-m offset. The DGPS provided accurate position information within the limited error to guide the combine in the field. The results showed that the automatic guidance system could guide the combine autonomously in the paddy field when the posture of the combine was changed.

본 논문에서는 전동기의 속도 센서로 사용되는 마그네틱 센서의 3차원 전자장 해석 기술 및 분석 방법에 대하여 논하였다. 마그네틱 센서는 레졸버 및 엔코더와 같은 속도센서에 비해 가격이 싸고 활용성이 높은 장점이 있는 반면, 정밀도가 낮으며 외부 자기장에 대하여 간섭을 많이 받는 단점이 존재한다. 마그네틱 센서는 전동기가 회전할 때 사인과 코사인 파형이 발생된다. 그러나 홀 소자 근처에서의 자기적 노이즈로 인하여 사인 및 코사인 신호가 왜곡이 발생하여 각도 오차로 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 마그네틱 센서의 홀 소자의 적절한 위치 선정과 주위에 적절한 요크를 다꾸찌 방법에 의해 최적 설계를 수행하여 이러한 왜곡을 방지하고자 하였다. 해석방법으로는 3차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 해석의 정밀도를 높였다.

Switched reluctance motor(SRM) has the advantages of simple structure, low rotor inertia. and high efficiency. However position sensor is essential in SRM in order to synchronize the phase excitation to the rotor position. The position sensors increase the cost of drive system and tend to reduce system reliability. This paper investigates the speed control of sensorless SRM in which the phase current and change rate are utilized in position decision, and the period of dwell angle is variable by compensating the rotor angle for speed control. The proposed system consists of position decision. phase locked loop controller, switching angle controller and inverter. The performances in the proposed system are verified through the experiment.

This paper proposes a new method of estimating the position and heading angle of a mobile robot moving on a flat surface. The proposed localization method utilizes two passive beacons and a single rotating ultrasonic sensor. The passive beacons consist of two cylinders with different diameters and reflect the ultrasonic pulses coming from the sonar sensor mounted on the mobile robot. The geometric parameter set of beacon is acquired from the sonar scan data obtained at a single mobile robot location using a new data processing algorithm. Form this parameter set, the position and heading angle of the mobile robot is determined directly. The performance and validity of the proposed method are evaluated using two beacons and a single sonar sensor attached at the pan-tilt device mounted on a mobile robot, named LCAR, in our laboratory.

In switched reluctance motors(SRM), shaft position sensing is essential in order to synchronize the excitation pulse of a pertinent phase to the rotor position. This paper describes the operation of SRM drive using a simple position sensor of low cost. The position sensor is composed of a slotted disk similar to the rotor core shape of a prototype 6/4 SRM and three opto-interrupters disposed at an angle of 30 degrees. The phase current waveforms measured at several rotor speeds in experiment arc compared with those obtained through the computer simulation.

This paper discusses study of sensorless control of a variable speed switched reluctance motor (SRM) for electric AC compressors on electrical vehicles. A typical SRM drive requires a position sensor such as an encoder or hall sensor to measure the angular rotor position. However, harsh environment in electrical AC compressors for electric vehicles makes it difficult to use the position sensor in their motor drive system. Therefore, a sensorless control scheme for electric compressor motors utilizing magnetic characteristics of SRM with respect to position angle and phase current is proposed. The overall variable speed SRM drive with position sensorless control scheme has been modeled using Matlab/Simulink software and closed loop current control simulation is presented to validate the proposed sensorless drive control.

A Steer-by-Wire system has so many advantages comparing with conventional mechanical steering system that it is expected to take key role in future environment friendly vehicle and intelligent transportation system. The mechanical connection between the hand wheel and the front axle will become obsolete. SBW system provides many benefits in terms of functionality, and at the same time present significant challenges - fault tolerant, fail safety - too. In this paper, failure analysis of SBW system will be performed and than sensor fusion technique will be proposed for fail safety of SBW system. A sensor fusion logic of steering angle sensor by using steering angle sensor, torque sensor and rack position sensor will be developed and simulated by fault injection simulation.

브러시리스 DC 전동기(BLDC)는 스위치의 on/off 각이 최적의 고정자와 회전자의 정렬상태에 의해 결정되는 반면에, 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)은 스위치의 on/off 각이 많은 파라미터의 복잡한 함수로 나타나고 따라서 최적의 운전을 하기 위해서는 스위칭 각이 가변적으로 된다. 따라서 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)을 최적으로 운전하기 위해서 고해상도의 위치 센서와 복잡한 부가 회로 등을 이용하여 회전자 위치를 검출할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 (SRM)를 구동할 수 있는 여러 가지 방법 중 엔코더, 홀센서, 옵토-인터럽터 (opto interrupter) 등 다양한 센서들을 활용하여 회전자 위치 검출 및 관련 위치 검출 회로적용, 검출된 회전자의 초기위치 확보에 관한 연구를 하였다.

A low-cost BLDC motor with hall sensor is used to drive the position control of a facility security monitoring system in this paper. Low measurable frequency of the hall sensor signal in low-speed regions results in difficulty in obtaining accurate speed detection and position control. To improve system control performance, we propose a variable gain of position controller and stop mode control scheme according to the motor speed and error position with pre-set deceleration time. The proposed stop mode control scheme is activated around the stop position to forcibly move the BLDC motor to the stop position in low speed. In the proposed stop mode, the motor current is controlled by the actual speed with the reference rotating angle. The control performance of the proposed position control is verified through experiments at the actual rail guided facility security monitoring system.
