This paper deals with a design problem of a switching-type fuzzy-model-based controller for a nonlinear system. Takagi-Sugeno(TS) fuzzy model and duffing forced-oscillation system are employed in designing the switching-type fuzzy controller. Finally, we analyze the stability of the global system controlled by the proposed controller.

This paper proposes a current-fed type high frequency inverter using a soft switching technology Zero-Voltage-Switching to reduce turn on and off loss at the switching. The analysis of the proposed circuit was described by using normalized parameter and operating characteristics have been evaluated as to switching frequency and parameters. In the future, the proposed circuit is considered to be useful for induction heating applications.

The development of a fast, accurate, and inexpensive position-controlled pneumatic actuator that may be applied to various practical positioning applications with various external loads is described in this paper. A novel modified pulse-width modulation (MPWM) valve pulsing algorithm allows on/off solenoid valves to be used in place of costly servo valves. A comparison between the system response of the standard PWM technique and that of the modified PWM technique shows that the performance of the proposed technique was significantly increased. A state-feedback controller with position, velocity and acceleration feedback was successfully implemented as a continuous controller. A switching algorithm for control parameters using a learning vector quantization neural network (LVQNN) has newly proposed, which classifies the external load of the pneumatic actuator. The effectiveness of this proposed control algorithm with smooth switching control has been demonstrated through experiments with various external loads.

Self oscillating current fed push pull resonant inverters can be controlled without using special drivers. Dc current flows through the choke coil and the power switches, although the driving signals of the power switches are sinusoidal. When the base current is near zero, the transistors cannot be operated in switching mode. Hence higher switching power losses and instantaneous peak power during off transitions are observed. In this study, an alternative design has been proposed to overcome this problem. A prototype circuit has been built which provides dc bias current to the base of the transistors. Experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations to demonstrate the validity of the design. The proposed design decreases the peak and average power losses by about 8 times, when compared to conventional designs.

This paper proposes a novel current control strategy for current regulated VSI-PWM transistor inverter. The conventional hysteresis control method has good dynamic responses. But the switching frequencies are high because it does not optimize switching patterns. Proposed current control strategy can optimize switching patterns. As regulator, three level comparators are used. The outputs of the comparators select appropriate inverter output voltage vectors via switching table stored in EPROM. The simulation and exparimental results in comparison to contentional hysteresis strategy are presented and discussed.

In a SRM drive, the on/off angles of each phase switch should be accurately controlled in order to control to torque and speed in a stable way, The accuracy of the switching angles is dependent upon the resolution of the encoder and the sampling period of the microprocessor. However, as the speed increase, the amount of the switching angle deviation from the preset values is also increased by the sampling period of the microprocessor. Therefore, a low cost encoder suitable for a practical and stable SRM drive is proposed and the control algorithm to provide the switching signals using the simple digital logic circuit is also presented in this paper. It is verified from the experiments that the proposed encoder and logic controller can be a powerful candidate a the practical low cost SRM drive.

Conventional series-resonant pulse frequency modulation controlled DC-DC high power converters with a high-frequency transformer link which is designed for driving the high power microwave generator has the problem of hard switching commutation at turn-on and turn-off of active power switching devices. This problem is due to the influence of the magnetizing current of the high-frequency transformer. This paper presents a novel prototype for a high-frequency transformer using parasitic parameters with a lossless inductive snubber and a series resonant capacitor assisted series-resonant zero current switching pulse frequency modulated DC-DC power converter, which is designed using a high power magnetron for microwave ovens. In order to implement a complete and efficient soft switching commutation, the performance of the new converter topology is practically confirmed and evaluated in the prototype of a power microwave generator.

This paper is mainly concerned with a high frequency soft-switching PWM inverter suitable for consumer induction heating systems. The proposed system is composed of a soft switching chopper based boost PFC converter stage with passive snubber and phase shifted PWM controlled full bridge ZVZCS high frequency inverter stage. Its fundamental operating performances are illustrated and evaluated in the experimental results. Its effectiveness is substantially proved on the basis of the experimental results from a practical point of view.

In this study, a numerical theory based on space charge overlapping model and experiments on the propriety of its theory were carried out to analyze the switching transient characteristic in amorphous coalcogenide thin film. Theoretical and experimental as well as analytical investigations were carried out on the switching behaviour in a transient state arising from a voltage pulse applied to amorphous chalcogenide thin films at room temperature. The results can be explained in terms ot a simple theoretical model of the electronic characteristics of switching. The injection of carriers are necessary to initiate the switching action and injected carriers contribute to the current flow as a space-charge limited current(SCLC) The proposed charge controlled switching characteristics can be explained by double injection space charge overlapping model.
