  • Objectives : This study was conducted for objective verification of effects of spiral taping therapy for the patients with motor disturbance. Methods : To verify whether spiral taping therapy is effective for treating motor disturbance from cervical sprain, 28 patients were randomly allocated into the control and experiment groups. Then 23 subjects who fulfilled the experiment requirements were measured for lateral rotation angle using the goniometer. Changes in rotation were observed and compared. Control group received acupuncture and herbal acupuncture treatment, whileas the experiment group received spiral taping therapy in addition. Results : Differences in age and the degree of motor disturbance were disregarded in comparison of the groups prior to rendering treatments. For the control group, significant changes were observed after the second treatment until the termination of treatment. For the experiment group, significant changes were observed after the first treatment until the termination of treatment. Difference between the groups was insignificant but experiment group with spiral taping therapy showed better results. Conclusion : Spiral taping therapy can be an effective complementary treatment method for treating neck motor disturbance. Further studies in the subject should be conducted to yield more concrete verification.

  • ln this paper, the designed DVSC(Discrete Variable Structure Controller) is applied to the robust control of voltage controlled APF(Active Power Filter). The voltage controlled APF has good characteristics of reducing harmonic current and harmonic voltage simultaneously. However, voltage controlled APF with large capacitor has slow dynamic response. For improving the dynamics and robustness against to disturbances, DVSC is adopted. According to the results of experiment and simulation, it is proved that the proposed system has the performance of improving dynamic response and robustness.

  • This paper presents a fully digital controlled power supply unit for the wireless controlled dimmable LED lighting system. The proposed power supply designed using a fly-back converter, which is directly controlled by a microprocessor. Although the proposed circuit does not sense the AC input current and has not AC input voltage feed-forward, it can achieve a high power factor. The proposed power supply directly regulates the output power for LED loads using the PWM and PFM control of the fly-back converter without additional regulator. For a wireless remote control function, the Zigbee modem is equipped in the proposed power supply. A prototype set-up has been built and tested. Through the experiment with a prototype set-up, the usefulness of the proposed power supply is verified.

  • KOMPSAT series use software-controlled unregulated bus system in which the main bus is directly connected to a battery and the duty-ratio for PWM switch is controlled by the on-board satellite software. This paper proposes a new power-stage circuit that can be available for modularization of the power regulator which is used at the software-controlled unregulated bus system satellite. And we analyze the proposed power-stage operation according to its operating modes and verify it by performing software simulation and hardware experiment using prototype. We constructs a parallel-module converter which is composed of proposed power-stages and perform experiment to verify modular characteristics of the proposed power-stage. Finally, we verify the usefulness of the proposed power-stage by comparing above results with those of a parallel-module converter made of conventional power-stages.

  • In this paper, a vector control system of current controlled PWM inverter-induction motor drive is proposed for quick response control. As the instantaneous value of the stator current must be controlled to accomplish the superior vector control characteristic, the current controlled PWM inverter with hysteresis controller is adopted. Complex vector rotation and calculation are handled with microprocessor software. The superior characterictic of the proposed system is verified with digital simulation and experiment.

  • This paper presents the design schemes for the improvement of force characteristics in a controlled permanent magnet liner synchronous motor (Controlled-PM LSM). The dependence of motor performance on the various design schemes, such as the slot shapes, the magnetization patterns of permanent magnet and the skewing, has been investigated in detail by using finite element method (FEM). The analysis results are verified by the experiment that is performed by a testing machine. From this study, it is known that the skewing of the magnet is the most efficient method in the aspects of detent force reduction and higher force density.

  • In this paper, we describes PID-neural network controller for the rotary inverted pendulum. PID control is applied to many fields but has some problems in nonlinear system due to a variation of parameter. So, we should desing the controller which is adjusted PI parameters by the neural network which is learned by backpropagation algorithm. And we show that on-line control is possible through the PID-neural network controller. The angle of the pendulum is controlled and then the position of the rotating arm is also controlled to maintain with in the set point. Measurement of the pendulum angle is obtained using a potentionmeter. The objective of the experiment is to design a PID-neural network control system that positions the arm as well as maintains the ivnerted pendulum vertical. Finally, we describe the actual experiment system and confirm the experimental results.
