This study is about the development of remote controlled bollard using the BLDC motor and ball screw with mechatronics theory. A bollard is composed of the sensor part and the control part. The sensor part is consisted of sensors that detect the locations of a bollard. The role of the control part is adjusting motor speed and power through variable resistance. In order to confirm required performance, the speed of decent and ascent of the bollard, the time and the RPM of BLDC motor were tested according to the variable resistance and the applied load with 10 to $72kg_f$.

Quality estimation of the weld has been one of the important issues in RSW which is a main process of the sheep metal fabrication in auto-body industry, It was well known that among the various welding process variables, dynamic resistance has a close relation with nugget formation. With this variable, it is possible to estimate the weld quality in real time. In this study, a new quality estimation algorithm is developed with the primary dynamic resistance measured at welding machine timer. For this, feature recognition method of Hopfield neural network is used. Primary resistance patterns are vectorized and classified with five patterns. The network trained by these patterns recognizes the dynamic resistance pattern and estimates the weld quality Because the process variable monitored at the primary circuit is used, it is possible to apply this system to real time application without any consideration of electrode wear or shunt effect.

The newly developed speed sensorless control scheme is proposed to estimate both motor speed and rotor resistance simultaneously using variable rotor flux. The rotor flux is given as sinusoidal waveform with an amplitude and a frequency without affecting precise torque control. Especially the proposed method makes the simultaneous estimation of rotor resistance and speed with high precision even though at the low speed area including a few rpm. Moreover, on-line identification of rotor resistance can be performed simply without calculating troublesome trigonometric functions and complicated integral computation. Therefore, the proposed system can be accomplished by using very cheap microprocessors for several applications. The results of the numerical simulations and experiments demonstrate that this method is effective to estimate the speed and on-line identification of rotor resistance for sensorless induction motors.

In this paper, a new speed sensorless induction motor scheme which can estimate rotor speed and rotor resistance simultaneously is presented. The rotor flux with a low frequency sinusoidal waveform is used to conduct on-line simultaneous estimation of the rotor speed and rotor resistance. Hence the proposed sensorless control method is robust to rotor resistance variations. Also, the control scheme has no current minor loop to determine voltage references. It contributes to good control performance at low speeds. Some simulation results supported by experiments are given to show the effectiveness of this method.

In this paper, a new topology which can add a small reactor in series to a condenser-bank type reactive power compensator to limit current is proposed. And also the proposed topology can add or remove a power condenser safely without any addition of inrush-current suppression resistance. The proposed method tests variable resistance of the drain source of a switching device which is controlled by gate voltage in a two-way switch with a diode rectifier and FET switch. In other words, the proposed method is a inrush-current suppression method with the structure of variable resistance. In particular, the proposed method creates smooth current without any resonance in inrush-current as well as is not limited by the time of switch on and off.

Recently, a semi-active shock absorber has been taking interest because of its low cost and simple structure than the active one. CFD analysis has been conducted to investigate the continuous and variable damping characteristics of the semi-active shock absorber. Also, the flow resistance characteristics of a spool valve has been examined to identify individual parameters(namely, exponent and discharge coefficient) of pressure-flow rate relation needed for the accurate valve modeling. The flow field in the damping valve was simulated using the commercial code, CFX-5.3. The numerical results showed reasonable agreement with the experimental outputs. The pressure distribution with the variation of spool opening length and volume flow rate were discussed in detail. And the continuous and variable damping performance was found clearly. The individual parameters of spool valve were obtained as a function of orifice area. The exponent and discharge coefficient were fitted in with the first and the third polynomial respectively.

Design procedure of adaptive controller with variable load condition is present and applied to velocity control of small, permanent magnet DC servo motor. The state feedback control scheme is adopted and Recursive Least Squares algorithm is used for parameter estimation. In order to reduce the time consuming. In the procedure of adaptation-gain tuning of state feedback controller, approximate curve fitting technique is applied to the relations between load condition and poles of the system, load condition and feedback gains. With this method, fast adaptation can be accomplished. It is shown that this procedure can be applied not only to variable load condition but also to variation of other system constants, for example variation of resistance and inductance etc.. Simulation results is present for both cases - variable inertia load, variable motor resistance to verify performance improvements. This design procedure produces an adaptive con troller which is feasible for implementation with microprocessor by reducing calculation time.

FCP requires different curvatures and shapes according to the method of division, and it is necessary to manufacture a formwork accordingly. FCP production equipment consists of CNC equipment and side shape control equipment. This can be implemented in various shapes of upper, lower, and side surfaces. In the side shape control equipment, it is implemented as a variable side formwork. Among the required performance of the variable side formwork, there is stiffness against side pressure, which needs to be verified. Therefore, in this study, the FCP fabrication experiment is conducted with the developed variable side formwork. By analyzing the error in the shape of the fabricated FCP, the lateral pressure resistance capability of the side form is measured and verified.

A pin fin with variable fin base thickness is analysed by using the one dimensional analytic method. Heat loss and fin thermal resistance are presented as a function of the fin base thickness, pin fin outer radius and convection characteristic numbers ratio. The relationship between the fin outer radius and fin base thickness for the same amount of heat loss is shown. One of the results indicates the fin thermal resistance decreases as the fin outer radius and/or convection characteristic numbers ratio increase whereas the fin thermal resistance is independent on the variation of fin base thickness.

Solar cells made of the edge-defined film-fed growth Si are characterized using current-voltage, surface photovoltage, electron beam induced current, electron microprobe, scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscattering. The weak temperature dependence of the I-V curves in the EFG solar cells is due to a voltage variable shunt resistance giving higher diode ideality factors than the ideal one. The voltage variable shunt resistance is modeled by a modified recombination mechanism which includes carrier tunneling to distributed impurity energy states in the band gap within the space-charge region. The junction integrity and the substrate quality are characterized simultaneously by combining I-V and surface photovoltage (SPV) measurements. The diode ideality factors and the surface photovoltages characterize the junction integrity while the SPV diffusion lengths characterizes the substrate quality. Most of the measured samples show the voltage variable shunt resistance although how serious it is depends on the solar cell efficiency. The voltage variable shunt resistance is understood as one of the most important factors of the degradation of EFG solar cells.
