In this paper, a nonlinear feedback system is analyzed for a surface micromachined resonant accelerometer. For this, a brief illustration of the plant dynamics is given. In the analysis, the periodic signal in the nonlinear feedback loop is obtained by the limit cycle point, which is best approximated via the describing function method. Considering the characteristic feature of plant dynamics, a simple phase shifted relay with finite slope is designed for the nonlinearity implementation. With a describing function for random plus sinusoidal input, we analyzed the effect of a white Gaussian noise on oscillation frequency. Finally, simulation and experimental result is given.

Electro-hydraulic shift control of a vehicle automatic transmission has been predominantly carried out via an open-loop control based on numerous time-consuming calibrations. Despite remarkable success in practice, the variations of system characteristics inevitably deteriorate the performance of the tuned open-loop controller. As a result, the controller parameters need to be continuously updated in order to maintain satisfactory shift quality. This paper presents a self-learning algorithm for automatic transmission shift control in a construction vehicle during inertia phase. First, an observer reconstructs the turbine acceleration signal (impossible to measure in a construction vehicle) from the readily accessible turbine speed measurement. Then, a control algorithm based on a quadratic function of the turbine acceleration is shown to guarantee the asymptotic convergence (within a specified target bound) of the error between the actual and the desired turbine accelerations. A Lyapunov argument plays a crucial role in deriving adaptive laws for control parameters. The simulation and hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) studies show that the proposed algorithm actually delivers the promise of satisfactory performance despite the system characteristics variations and uncertainties.

In December 2011 and July 2012, two sets of 840MVA hydro-generator of Three Gorges on Yangtze River with Close-loop-self-circulating evaporative cooling (CLSCEC) system were put into commercial operation. In this paper, we make engineering summary of these two generators with CLSCEC system. We also make a comparison between the internal water cooling (IWC) hydro-generator and the CLSCEC hydro-generator used in Three Gorges power plant in fields of their operating characteristics, working performances, technical features, working safety and reliability. In addition, engineering structures, type tests' results and systematic emulating calculation of CLSCEC schemes are analyzed.

This article deals with a Causal-Loop analysis of the characteristics of Ouroboros effects. The meaning of the effects is that solutions to problems are usually intended as final fixes, but more often than not, while solving one problem, they generate more problems. It means 'to worsen through attempts to make better.' The Ouroboros effects are very dangerous because they are regarded as a kind of self-destructive mechanisms. While existing researchers recognize the risks of the effects, they are not able to solve the systematic problem but only to describe the symptom. Such a way to deal with the effects results in difficulty to clarify the cause-and-effect relationship within the system. Thus the authors are focusing on explaining the effects by SD (System Dynamics), which are considered as the sole methodology to do effectively so far since SD is a great tool to discover structural causes. To solve the self-destructive problem of the effects, the authors analyze the characteristics of several cases of the effects in elaborating the CLD (Causal Loop Diagram) for each case. The analysis reveals the structural characteristics of the effects and how to correct them towards maintaining the sustainability of systems.

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of loop superconducting Persistent Current Switch(PCS) circuit. The self and mutual inductances of the circuits are calculated and compared to the measured values. The size of loop circuits was determined using the calculated inductances, and the fabrication processes of the superconducting persistent current switch are described.

For wide locking range, an analog delay locked loop (DLL) was designed with the selective phase inversion scheme and the variable number of delay elements. The number of delay elements was determined adaptively depending on the clock cycle time. During the analog fine locking stage, a self-initializing 3-state phase detector was used to avoid the initial state problem associated with the conventional 3-state phase detector. With these schemes, the locking range of analog DLL was increased by four times compared to the conventional scheme according to the simulation results.

A digital phase-locked loop speed control system of a self-controlled permanent magnet synchronous mortar fed by a voltage source inverter is presented. This paper discribes the hardware and software design of the system. Variable speed control system for self-controlled permanent magnet synchronous motor is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of proposed methods. This proposed control technique is implemented by using a microprocessor-based system.

In this paper, the steady-state analysis of the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) such as a wind turbine is presented. The steady-state torque-speed characteristics of the VSPM are considered with the three-phase SEIG equivalent circuit for evaluating the operating performances due to the inductive load variations. Furthermore, a PI closed-loop feedback voltage regulation scheme based on the static VAR compensator (SVC) for the three-phase SEIG driven by the VSPM is designed and considered for the wind power generation conditioner. The simulation and experimental results prove the practical effectiveness of the additional SVC with the PI controller-based feedback loop in terms of fast response and high performances.

In this paper, we present a new scheduling method called CDSS(Carried-Dependence Self-Scheduling) for efficiently execution of the loop with intra dependency between iterations based on the central queue. We also implemented it on shared memory system using Java language. Also, we study the modification that converts the existing self-scheduling method based on the central task queue for parallel loops onto the same form applied to loop with loop-carried dependences. The proposed method is self scheduling and assigns the loops in three-level considering the synchronization point according to the dependence distance of the loops. To adapt the proposed scheme and modified methods into various platforms, including a uni-processor system, we use threads for implementation. Compared to other assignment algorithms with various changes of application and system parameters, CDSS is found to be more efficient than other methods in overall execution time including scheduling overheads. CDSS shows improved performance over modified SS, Factoring, GSS and CSS by about 0.02, 40.5, 46.1 and 53.6%, respectively. In CDSS, we achieve the best performance on varying application programs using a few threads, which equal the dependence distance.

A Direct Drive Valve(DDV) hydraulic actuation system which is commonly used as an aircraft's control surface driving actuator has multi-loop control structure to ensure its safety operation. However, because of not perfect matching of one self channel characteristics with the others, the servo valve driving current of each channel can be widely different. Therefore, the long-time use of DDV actuator without any correction of these channel current offsets will cause the problem of performance or life expectancy degradation due to unwanted heats in the linear motor. A current equalization loop structure which can minimizes current offsets between channels is introduced and designed. The performance of the current equalization loop is investigated and verified through the analytic and experimental ways.
