In electric motor coaches. the rolling stocks move by the adhesive effort between rail and driving wheel. Generally, the adhesive effort is defined by the function of both the weight of electric motor coach and the adhesive effort between rails and driving wheel. The characteristics of adhesive effort is strongly affected by the conditions between rails and driving wheel. When the adhesive effort decreases suddenly, the electric motor coach has slip phenomena. This paper proposes a re-adhesion control based on disturbance observer and sensor-less vector control. The numerical simulation and experimental results point out that the proposed readhesion control system has the desired driving wheel torque response for the tested bogie system of electric coach. Based on this estimated adhesive effort, the re-adhesion control is performed to obtain the maximum transfer of the tractive effort.

In this paper, we have developed sensor composited heater of 2-pin, and unified the fuel filter. In order to evaluate the performance of the 2-pin sensor composited fuel heater, we have make of the low temperature fluidity system. The one measure and analysis the electrical and oil flow quantity characteristics at an input and out port of 2-pin sensor composited fuel heater. Especially, in the characteristics verification elements of the proposed goods, we use the test chamber for the temperature variable and oil flow quantity test, and designed an embedded system for interfacing an engine. By interfacing both user and the system, it support an experimental and date gathering function in 2-pin sensor composited fuel filter. And then test the temperature, oil pressure, electrical characteristics and oil flow quantity in variable status from - 30 ℃ to + 80 ℃.

Monitoring and control of the greenhouse environment play a decisive role in greenhouse crop production processes. The network system for greenhouse control was developed by using recent technologies of networking and wireless communications. In this paper, a remote monitoring and control system for greenhouse using a smartphone and a computer with internet has been developed. The system provides real-time remote greenhouse integrated management service which collects greenhouse environment information and controls greenhouse facilities based on sensors and equipments network. Graphical user interface for an integrated management system was designed with bases on the HMI and the experimental results showed that a sensor data and device status were collected by integrated management in real-time. Because the sensor data and device status can be displayed on a web page, transmitted using the server program to remote computer and mobile smartphone at the same time. The monitored-data can be downloaded, analyzed and saved from server program in real-time via mobile phone or internet at a remote place. Performance test results of the greenhouse control system has confirmed that all work successfully in accordance with the operating conditions. And data collections and display conditions, event actions, crops and equipments monitoring showed reliable results.

Diode rectifier which can't be controlled output voltage and phase control converter as AC/DC converter have low power factor and harmonics of lower order in the line current. In this paper, three phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) AC/DC boost converter is studied to solve these problems. The characteristics of a proposed converter are to control the phase of current without current sensor as a very simple control algorithm using circuit parameters only and to apply sinusoidal PWM method with fixed switching frequency due to a difficult design of input filter and switching device. We simulate for the proposed algorithm that high power factor is achieved and DC link voltage has fast dynamic response without ripple in rectifying and regenerating operation. As a result of experiment with circuit parameter(inductor, capacitor) decided in simulation, the proposed converter had high power factor and reduction of low order harmonics as against diode rectifier.

In this work, a capacitive wireless power transfer (C-WPT) system is presented for wireless sensor system (WSS) applications in marine propulsion shafts. For a single Q factor on both sides of the coupling capacitor and reactive power removal from the circuit, a double-sided LCLC converter and transformers topology are designed to drive the rotary C-WPT system for WSS on the shaft. Parallel-connected parallel plate rotating capacitors with a capacitance of 170 pF are designed and implemented for the C-WPT system on a snow rotating shaft. In the experimental results, the C-WPT system achieved a transmission efficiency of 66.67% with 7.8 W output power at 3 mm distance and 1 MHz operating frequency. Therefore, it was proved that the fabricated C-WPT system can supply power to the WSS of the rotating shaft.

The performance of the precision micro-positioning 4-dof stage is presented. The compact design utilizes the monolithic mechanism to achieve the translation in the Z axis and rotation in the $\theta$ z, $\theta$ x and $\theta$ y axes with high stiffness and high damping. Hysteresis, nonlinearity, and drift of the piezoelectric effects are improved by incorporating the sensors in a feedback control. Experiments demonstrate that the micro-positioning stage is capable of 2nm resolution over the travel range of 25$\mu\textrm$ m in the Z axis, 0.0l7 $\mu\textrm$ rad resolution over the 170$\mu\textrm$ rad in the $\theta$ z and 0.011 $\mu\textrm$ rad resolution over the $\mu\textrm$ rad in the $\theta$ x and $\theta$ y axes. The cross-axis interferences among the axes are at a noise range. This stage is available for positioning error compensation of the XY stage with large stroke.

There are now many different commercial weather sensors suitable for smart farms, and various smart farm devices are being developed and distributed by companies participating in the government-led smart farm expansion project. However, most do not comply with standard specifications and are therefore limited to use in smart farms. This paper proposed the connecting structure of operating non-standard node devices in smart farms following standard specifications supporting smart greenhouse. This connecting structure was proposed as both a virtual node module method and a virtual node wrapper method. In addition, the SoftFarm2.0 system was experimentally operated to analyze the performance of the implementation of the two methods. SoftFarm2.0 system complies with the standard specifications and supports non-standard smart farm devices. According to the analysis results, both methods do not significantly affect performance in the operation of the smart farm. Therefore, it would be good to select and implement the method suitable for each non-standard smart farm device considering environmental constraints such as power, space, distance of communication between the gateway and the node of the smart farm, and software openness. This will greatly contribute to the spread of smart farms by maximizing deployment cost savings.

This paper presents implementation and control of a two wheeled mobile robot system which consists of two systems, an inverted pendulum system and a mobile robot system. Control purpose is to regulate its balancing and navigation. The balancing robot has advantages of one point turning and robust balancing against disturbances from the ground. Simulation studies of local and global control methods are performed. Since the robot is implemented to have a symmetrical structure, simple linear control algorithms are used for balancing and navigation. Low cost sensors such as gyro and tilt sensor are fused together to detect the inclined angle. Experimental studies of following desired circular trajectory are conducted.

In this paper, VDS(Vehicle Dynamics Simulator) and ACS(Attitude Control Simulator) are developed and are verified using PILS(Process In-the Loop Simulation) between VDS and ACS. VDS is including the AOCS(Attitude & Orbit Control Subsystem) hardware modeling of geosynchronous satellite and consists of modulation concept. ACS performs the attitude determination using sensor data and generates the attitude control commands. In order to transfer the data between VDS and PCDU(Power Control & Distribution Unit), data acquisition boards were mounted. VDS performance is verified using HILS(Hardware In-the Loop Simulation) between VDS and PCDU.
