This paper presents a software based NPC PWM inverter control technique to eliminate the harmonics in the output waveforms of inverter. The proposed control technique is able to keep down total harmonic distortion and significantly improve the performance of the inverter. In the control node where the frequency ratio is 36 and the modulation index is $1.2\sim2.0$, the proposed inverter has been operated wi thin 5% Total Harmonic Distortion.

This paper deals with a control technique of eliminating the transient vibration of a waist axis of an articulated robot. This technique is based on a model-based control in order to establish the damping effect on the mechanical part. The control model is related to the velocity control loop, and it is composed of reduced-order electrical and mechanical parts. Using this model, the velocity of the load is estimated, which is converted to the motor shaft. The difference between the estimated load speed and the motor speed is calculated dynamically, and it is added to the velocity command to suppress the transient vibration of a waist axis of the robot arm. The function of this technique is to increase the cut-off frequency of the system and the damping ratio at the driven machine part. This control model is easily obtained from design or experimental data and its algorithm can be easily installed in a DSP. This control technique is applied to a waist axis of an articulated robot composed of a harmonic drive gear reducer and a robot arm with 5 degrees of freedom. Simulations and experiments show satisfactory control results to reduce the transient vibration at the end-effector.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of the meridian muscle release technique on the pain and functional movement of patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) of the shoulder joint. METHODS: The subjects of this study included 45 patients with MPS of the shoulder joint. The subjects were divided randomly into the following groups; the meridian muscle release technique group (n=15), the Graston technique group (n=15), and the control group (n=15). Both the meridian muscle release group and the Graston technique group received conventional therapy for 35 minutes initially and were then treated using the meridian muscle releases technique and Graston technique for 10 minutes, respectively. The control group received only conventional therapy for 35 minutes. All three groups underwent treatments three times a week for four weeks. Each subject was evaluated randomly using the VAS, PPT, SPADI and ROM both before and after treatment. RESULTS: The Graston technique group showed a significantly more substantial increase in functional movement (p<.05) than the meridian muscle release technique and control groups. The meridian muscle release technique group had significantly less pain (p<.05) compared to the Graston technique and control groups. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the meridian muscle release technique can be useful for decreasing pain and increasing the functional movement of patients with MPS of the shoulder joint.

This paper proposes an efficient sampled-data controller design technique for formation flying. To deal with the nonlinearity in the formation flying dynamics and to obtain a linear, rather than affine, model, we utilize the optimal linearization technique. The digital redesign technique is then developed based on the optimal linear model and formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Simulation results show the advantage of the proposed methodology over the conventional controller emulation technique.

This paper is concerned with a control allocation strategy using the dynamic inversion which generates the nominal control input trajectories, and autopilot design using the time-varying control technique which is time-varying version of pole placement of linear time-invariant system for an agile missile with aerodynamic fin and thrust vectoring control. Dynamic inversion can decide the amount of the deflection of each control effector, aerodynamic fin and thrust vectoring control, to extract the maximum performance by combining the action of them. Time-varying control technique for autopilot design enhance the robustness of the tracking performance for a reference command. Nonlinear simulations demonstrates the dynamic inversion provides the effective nominal control input trajectories to achieve the angle of attack command, and time-varying control technique exhibits good robustness for a wide range of angle of attack.

We propose, for the first time to our knowledge, a novel gain-clamping method for EDFA in WDM Add/Drop networks by introducing a disturbance observer technique. The proposed gain-clamping control input consists of the nominal gain-clamping control such as PI(Proportional and Integral) control and the additional control input for the compensation of the effects caused by channel add/drops. The additional control input is designed using the wellknown disturbance observer technique and can be implemented very easily with general electric elements. We proved the superiority of the new technique over the previous methods by showing simulation result of minimized dips and spikes that appear in power profile of EDFA output.

Anti-lock brake system(ABS) are designed to prevent wheel lock on all wheels of the vehicle by sensing wheel angular speed, processing the speed sensor signals in suitable digital electronic control circuits and comanding electrohydraulic actuators to control brake pressure. This study considers a control of ABS using wheel circumferential acceleration thresholds which avoids dangerous wheel locking due to excessive brake pressure during the vehicle braking and discusses the 3-channels, 3-sensors ABS system that employs "independent control" technique for the front wheels and "select low" technique for the rear wheels. The validities of the ABS such as vehicle stability, steerability and stopping distance during braking are assured through the vehicle tests on uniform asphalt straight roads.

In DC distribution systems, a TAB converter employing multiple transformers is one of the most widely used topologies due to its high power density, modularizability, and cost-effectiveness. However, the conventional control technique for a grid-connected mode in the TAB converter cannot maintain its reliability for an islanding mode under a blackout situation. In this paper, the islanding mode control technique is proposed to solve this issue. To verify the relative stability and dynamic characteristics of the control technique, small-signal models of both the grid connected and the islanding mode are derived. Based on the small-signal models, PI controllers are designed to provide suitable power control. The proposed control technique, the accuracy of small-signal models, and the performance of the controllers are verified by simulations and experiments with a 1-kW prototype TAB converter.
