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.

In wireless sensor networks, one of the most important issue is improvement of network lifetime with an efficient energy consumption. we repose effective multi-hop routing algorithm which increases the number of nodes alive at any time. In our algorithm we use the dynamic selection of cluster head and short distance transmission method. We simulated the proposed algorithm by using Network Simulator 2 and compared its performance with LEACH. The experimental result shows that the number of the nodes alive is increased up to 39.71[%] during the simulation time.

본 연구에서는 광섬유형(Fiber Optic Current Sensor) 광전류센서 구성 시 발생하는 선형복굴절(Linear Birefringence)의 보상에 용이한 수직원형틀(Orthogonal Loop Type) 센서헤드(Sensor Heads)를 개선하여 1 Cross 수직원형틀(l Cross Orthogonal Loop Type)을 제시하였다. 그리고 기존의 페루프형 원형틀 (Closed Loop Type), 수직원형틀 그리고 1 Cross 수직원형틀의 편광상태를 비교하였다. 그 결과 편광상태 측정 시 페루프 원형틀을 수직원형틀로 교체할 경우 15.3%, 1 Cross 수직원형틀로 교체할 경우 33.8%의 선형복굴절 감소 효과가 나타났다. 이에 1 Cross 수직원형틀을 광전류센서에 적용할 경우 안정된 편광특성으로 고신뢰성 광전류센서 개발 가능성을 높게 할 것이다.

In this paper, using a wide-band AE sensor with the frequency range from 100[kHz], the frequency spectra of AE signals generated from the corona discharges of the needle-plane electrode was analyzed to determine the proper ultrasonic sensor. We also examined the relationship between the magnitude of corona discharge and the magnitude of AE signals in peak-to-peak value under the application of 60[Hz] AC high-voltage in oil. From these results, the main frequency spectra of AE signals emitted from the corona discharges of the needle-plane gap were found to be 130[kHz] by the fast fourier transform. The magnitude of AE signals was proportional to the magnitude of corona discharge and discharge current pulse with increasing the applied voltages. Also the detection of corona discharge point location by AE signals was found to be possible by using two sensors.

A hierarchical tree structure of clusters has advantages for the network design due to its scalability and simple routing protocol. In this paper, the cluster tree routing protocol is studied for the wireless sensor network. From the numerical analysis results, the data aggregation in the intermediate nodes reduces the number of communication message and saves the energy of sensor nodes, but it may result in increased data traffic latency. And also the selection of cluster head can increase the relaying hops very high.

This paper describes the development and evaluation of an innovative TDR distributed moisture sensor. This sensor features advantages of being responsive to the spatial variations of the soil moisture content. The geometry design of the sensor makes it rugged for field installation. Good linear calibration is obtained between the sensor measured dielectric constant and soil physical properties. Simulations by the finite element method (FEM) are conducted to assist the design of this sensor and to determine the effective sampling range. Compared with conventional types of moisture sensor, which only makes point measurement, this sensor possesses distributed moisture sensing capability. This new sensor is not only easy to install, but also measures moisture distribution with much lower cost. This new sensor holds promise to significantly improve the current field instruments. It will be a useful tool to help study the influence of a variety of moisture-related phenomena on infrastructure performance.

This paper presents a disk-type capacitive sensor for simultaneous measurement of five-dimensional motions of a target. The sensor can be manufactured with a printed circuit board (PCB) such that the sensor can be integrated with its electronics in a single PCB board, whereby the manufacturing costs is considerably reduced. The sensor is optimally designed through an error analysis of possible mechanical errors. Furthermore, the sensor can correct the horizontal motion measurement errors due to the sensor installation tilting error. A proto-type PCB sensor, electronics and a test rig were built, and the effectiveness of the developed sensor was proved through experiments.

A small engine-oil-deterioration detection sensor was developed and installed at the tip of a dipstick gage. The sensor part was manufactured using printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing technology. A set of sensor covers was installed in order to protect the sensor and realize good signal stability. The small engine-oil-deterioration detection sensor system comprised a dual sensor having etched copper electrodes coated with gold and ceramic, a flexible PCB (FPCB) acting as electric wire, and a dummy PCB with only a lock connector. The sensor can easily be installed by insertion through the guide tube of a dipstick gage. Thus, a driver can easily handle it without further installation equipment. The sensor can determine the level of deterioration in the engine oil by estimating the corresponding dielectric constant of the engine oil.

This study is about interaction design types in the production of sensor-based media installations combining Arduino, an open source platform. By typifying the realized media installation works, we seek to explore the diversity and meaning of new media art expression methods. Based on the understanding of the interaction method of media art, the interaction design type in the production of media installation using sensors was divided into physical movement through motor control, 'artificial plants using ultrasonic sensors and motors', and 'virtual garden using light and sound sensors'. 'Moving images using tilt sensors' are classified into four types. Through this, it is expected that media software can be selected as an appropriate technology for the work and can be presented as an example of artistic expression that is evolving into various expressions.
