Purpose : The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the effects of microcurrent on inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases. Methods : Domestic databases (RISS, NDSL, KISS, DBpia, and Kmbase) were searched for studies that conducted clinical trials associated with microcurrent and its impact on inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases. A total of 606 studies published between 2002 and 2019 were identified, with 8 studies satisfying the inclusion data. The studies were classified according to patient, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO). The search outcomes were items associated with blood component, pain, and function. The 8 studies that were included in the study were evaluated using R meta-analysis (version 4.0). The quality of 7 randomized control trials was evaluated using Cochrane risk of bias (ROB). The quality of 1 non-randomized control trial was evaluated using risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studies (RoBANS). Effect sizes were computed as the corrected standard mean difference (SMD). A random-effect model was used to analyze the effect size because of the high heterogeneity among the studies. Egger's regression test was carried out to analyze the publishing bias. Results : The following factors had a large effect size involving microcurrent on inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases: blood component (Hedges's g=-2.46, 95 % CI=-4.20~-0.73), pain (Hedges's g=3.51, 95 % CI=2.44~4.77), and function (Hedges's g=3.06, 95 % CI: 1.53~4.58). Except for function (t=1.572, p=.191), Egger's regression test showed that the publishing bias had statistically significant differences. Conclusion : This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of microcurrent on inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases in terms of blood component, pain, and function. However, due to the small sample sizes used in the included studies, the results of our study should be interpreted cautiously, especially considering the publishing bias.

Recently, electric propulsion systems are been increasingly used in large cruise ships and merchant vessels. When abnormal electrical conditions occur in the motor of an electric propulsion ship, they can cause serious damage to the motor and propeller shaft. Research on abnormal conditions of propulsion motors used in electric propulsion vessels and electric ships difficult to find. In this study, a mathematical model of the electric propulsion system is proposed to analyze transient phenomena that occur in the case of electric propulsion motor or propeller shaft malfunction. A synchronous motor was used in the MATLAB computer simulation of this study. In the event of electrical malfunction of the electric propulsion motor at rated operation, over current occurs in the condition of 1 phase ground, over torque occurs at 3 and 2 phases ground and over current and torque occur when exciting power fails at rated operation.

The wound rotor type induction motor(WRIM) control system which is widely used in the industry has many maintenance problem because of external resistors and magnetic contactors. In this paper, the simple sensorless vector control algorithm for WRIM is proposed without any additional devices except detecting rotor currents. Because the external resistors are disconnectd and the rotor slip rings are shorten, the power loss due to external resistors is removed and the maintenance problem is improved remarkably. Also, the vector control performance becomes better because the proposed sensorless vector control algorithm does not use the rotor resistance which is usually used to estimate the slip frequency in case of indirect vector control scheme. The proposed algorithm is verified by the digital simulation and the experiment.

Two types of lignin materials with a different surface ionic character were used and polypyrrole layer was introduced on the lignin surface to obtain polypyrrole@lignin and polypyrrole@lignosulfonate composites using a simple chemical oxidation polymerization, reported in a previous article. Polypyrrole was effectively prepared regardless of the lignin type and the resulting composites were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and impedance analysis. SEM and CV results showed that the obtained composites retained stable electrochemical properties after introduction of polypyrrole on the lignin surface. Impedance analyses showed that the surface properties of composites were dependent on lignin characteristics. In addition, the composites were embedded in agarose, an gelifying agent, to obtain conductive gels. It was found that the conductive gels possessed an electrical conductivity and also retained stable electrochemical properties, which indicated that the conductive gels might be useful for some applications.

This paper presents a position sensorless control system of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) using neural network. The control of SRM depends on the commutation of the stator phases in synchronism with the rotor position. The position sensing requirement increases the overall cost and complexity. In this paper, the current-flux-rotor position lookup table based position sensorless operation of SRM is presented. Neural network is used to construct the current-flux-rotor position lookup table, and is trained by sufficient experimental data. Experimental results for a 1-hp SRM is presented for the verification of the proposed sensorless algorithm.

The neutral section on electric railway system is significant sector in order to prevent short circuit of two electric powers. However, while electric trains pass the neutral section, those speed is decreased and the accident of AC electric traction system and the electric train would be occurred. So the countermeasures are urgently needed. The automatic power switching technology system that is current being research and development is system to improve these problems. Because main object of this system is power change using static switch in the neutral section, it's expected to cause a variety of transients. Especially, onboard transformer inrush current for electric railway train can be occurred more than rated current according to switching time. Therefore, the analysis and improvement are needed to ensure the stability of this system. In this paper, we analyze the operating characteristics of the automatic power switching technology system. Especially, it reviews inrush current according to the closing phase angle. And we propose control plan of inrush current considering the case that voltage is maintained due to counter electromotive force and regenerative braking operation of electric railway train. Finally, the proposed control scheme was reviewed using the transient analysis program.

Position information is very important when driving the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM). Generally, resolver is used to obtain exact position information. However, it generates periodic position errors due to the transformer ratio difference and excitation signal distortion. When the vector control is done with the position information that includes position error, torque ripple is generated from time to time. This paper proposes the solution through analysis of above problem. Also, it's validity is verified by simulation and experiment.

BLDC 전동기는 AC서보 일종으로 스위칭 소자를 이용한 인버터 회로를 통해 정류하므로 정류 시 회전자의 위치 정보를 회전자에 홀 센서나 레졸버와 같은 위치 센서를 부착하여 위치 정보를 얻는다. 위치 센서는 전동기 가격 및 크기를 증가시키고 구조를 복잡하게 만들기에 위치 검출 센서 없이 구동하는 센서리스 구동 방법이 최근 많이 연구되고 있다. 센서리스 구동 방법에 가장 많이 쓰는 방법이 역기전력을 이용하는 것이다. 역기전력을 이용하는 경우 전동기가 고속으로 회전 시 비교적 잘 적용되지만 정지 상태에 있거나 저속에서 운전 시, 역기전력이 충분히 크지 않을 경우 적용이 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 BLDC 전동기의 3상 중 2상의 단자전압을 이용하여 센서리스 구동 방법을 제안한다. 정지 상태에서의 회전자 위치 파악은 DC링크 단에 전류 센서를 사용하여 초기 위치를 파악하고 한상의 단자전압을 검출하여 각 상의 여자 시점을 결정하여 초기 구동함으로써 기존의 다른 센서리스 회로의 간략화와 효율적이고 구현이 간단하며 무엇보다 가격전인 측면에서 여타의 방법에 비해 유리하다.

The products using blowers include hand dryers, automatic car washers, dryers, and vacuum cleaners. The features of these products require a structure and control algorithm so that a strong wind is blown out at the moment. Electric motors according to the existing excitation method include a direct winding type, a decentralized type, a lottery type, and a permanent magnet type. Conventional electric motors have a disadvantage when the starting current is large during high-speed rotation and the number of rotations is irregular. In order to improve this, research on high-speed BLDC motor control has designed 800W-class high-speed BLDC motor control and circuit through driving circuit design, sensorless control algorithm, simulation, experiment, etc., and more than 95% high efficiency evaluation method of driving performance of controller, prototype experiments and verification were studied.
