This study was to investigate performance of position, basic controls and additional control for man-machine interface on a 3-point hitch of a tractor. The developed additional control was one-touchup, backup, turnup, liftarm limited, PTO on/off and an external control. As a result of experiment, maximum steady state error of response system was lower than $0.8^{\circ}$ and this result showed the function operated normally because the dead band of system set was ${\pm}1^{\circ}$. There was no abnormal situation by switch operation and sensor signal during the performance test. The results of experiment showed the characteristics of the response was sufficient to be used as the position and additional control system for tractors.

In this paper, a diagnosis method for switch open-circuit faults in three-phase PWM inverters is proposed, which employs support vector machine (SVM) as classifying method. At first, a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to detect a discontinuity of currents due to the fault, and then the features for fault diagnosis are extracted. Next, these features are employed as inputs for the SVM training. After training, the SVM produces an optimized boundary which is used identifying the fault. Finally, the fault classification is performed online with instantaneous features. The experimental results have verified the validity of the proposed estimation algorithm.

High precision machining technology has become one of the most important parts in the development of a precision machine. Such a machine requires high precision positioning as well as high speed on a large workspace. For machining systems having high precision positioning with a long stroke, it is necessary to examine the repeatability of the reference position decision. Though ball-screw driven linear stages equipped with linear scale have high precision feed drivers and a long stroke, they have some limitations for reference position decisions if they have not been equipped with an accurate home sensor. This study is performed to experimentally examine the repeatability for home position decision of a photo micro sensor as a home switch of a ball-screw driven linear stage by using a capacitance probe.

Three phase Boost/Buck converter which have economical merits and simple control scheme, are analyzed and evaluated through comparative methods and digital simulation for equivalent load. Those play a part of voltage boost/buck as well as power factor correction with single switch. Controller operating in constant and variable frequency is used for rapid output response and stable system condition respectively. Moreover low THD property of single switched converters is available for inverter arc welding machine known as high power and low power factor. So, in this paper a comparison of the characteristics in boost and buck converter is described and then simulation results conforms the merits from point of view of power factor and voltage regulator.

This study proposes an AC servo motor control program structure and its implementation method to efficiently integrate 13 types of additional compensation algorithms into the basic FOC (field-oriented control) algorithm program. Various compensation algorithms are necessary to enhance the stability and performance of machine tools by compensating for interference from disturbances and vibrations. Each compensation algorithm is implemented as a separate, independent function and called from a switch-case statement in the ISR (interrupt service routine) of the PWM (pulse-width modulation) device. The advantages of this approach include facilitating not only debugging and testing but also reducing the possibility of errors during the program development phase. Thus, it is easy to add and activate each specific compensation algorithm for the program update during the program operation phase. The implemented motor control program was experimented with a single-axis feed shaft testbed driven by a commercial AC servo motor control drive board and a 750 Watts SPMSM (surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor), and the results verified its normal operation and performance improvement.

We designed and implemented the attachable smart adapter for the general management of each company's agricultural machine regardless of whether it is equipped with a CAN (Controller Area Network) module. The smart adapter consists of a main board (Raspberry Pi3B), which operates agricultural machine's management software in Linux environment, and a self-developed interface board for power adjustment and status sensing. For the status monitoring, a sensing interface using a serial input was defined between the smart adapter and the sensors of the agricultural machine, and the state diagram of the agricultural machine was defined for diagnosis. We made a panel to simulate the sensors of the agricultural machine using the switch's on/off contact point, and confirmed the status monitoring and diagnostic functions by inputting each state of the farm machinery from the simulator panel.

The purpose of this research is to introduce a case study on application of practical engineering. Topic of the study is a medicine vending machine which consists of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), DC motor, switch, photo sensor and so on. In order to design and manufacture of the device, a lot of subjects which have learned during school year are reviewed and practiced. Especially, not only internal process but mechanical mechanism can be understood by organizing hardware and software of all parts. Also, several ideas like user made supply or exact counting are suggested for high performance. From this case study, students can increase their originality and adaptability for related industry. Also, the technique can be initiated industry if needed.

The purpose of this study is to develop a gait-event detection system, which is necessary for the cycle-to-cycle FES control of locomotion. Proposed gait event detection system consists of a signal measurement part and gait event detection part. The signal measurement was composed of the sensors and the LabVIEW program for the data acquisition and synchronization of the sensor signals. We also used a video camera and a motion capture system to get the reference gait events. Machine learning technique with ANN (artificial neural network) was adopted for automatic detection of gait events. 2 cycles of reference gait events were used as the teacher signals for ANN training and the remnants ($2\sim5$ cycles) were used fur the evaluation of the performance in gait-event detection. 14 combinations of sensor signals were used in the training and evaluation of ANN to examine the relationship between the number of sensors and the gait-event detection performance. The best combinations with minimum errors of event-detection time were 1) goniometer, foot-switch and 2) goniometer, foot-switch, accelerometer x(anterior-posterior) component. It is expected that the result of this study will be useful in the design of cycle-to-cycle FES controller.

A switch box is metal box for electric wire pipes in building. In manufacturing this box, the first press is used to mold and the second to fifth presses are used to process four-sides of a box. So four presses, four molds and four workers are needed. This leads to raise the manufacturing cost including machine lease rent, molding fee, and wages. To make matters worse, the roaring sound, vibration, and dangers of safety accidents make employees avoid from working that job. To solve this problem, a new Handling Mechanism and a cam die which combined four-die-involving processes into one die process were developed. That results job automation of the Job with one press and one die. The job avoidance problem is solved and manufacturing cost is reduced as well.
