In this paper, we describe the optimal driving method and magnetic flux distribution of permanent magnet which enhance torque characteristics in small-sized 3-phase brushless DC motors. The disadvantages of conventional $120^{\circ}$ constant current drive method are torque ripple, switching noise and spike voltage due to the inductance of stator coil. This shortcommings can be avoided by the switching slew-rate of driving current which is called linear voltage driving method. The aim of this study is to analyze linear voltage driving method quantatively and to determine optimal drive current waveform through computer simulation. The selection of commutation angle and slew rate of a new driving current at switching instants makes torque ripple index minimize and average torque maximize. And the validity of this new driving method was assured by Fourier analysis. Considering two dimensional nonlinear magnetic flux distribution on the permanent magnet, we suggest optimal flux distribution according to the presented driving method which improves torque characteristics.

A flexible nanipulator can move in the high speed even with the small driving torque. The dynamic equations of flexible manipulator whichinclude 2 vibrationalmodes are derived using the clamped-free boundarycondition. Simulation results of the 6th order modelare well matched with experimental results. The hub angle of the flexible manipulator can be controlled without vibration of beam by the feedback of both hub angle and strain. The overshoot of the hub angle in the step resonse is reduced without sacrificing the rise time using the cycloidal function instead of the step function as the reference input.

This paper reports a sinusoidal $180^{\circ}$ drive for a permanent magnet (PM) brushless motor employing automatic angle compensator to suppress the driving loss during the wide-range load operation. The proposed drive of the sinusoidal $180^{\circ}$ PM Brushless motor reduced the amplitude of the 3-phase current by compensating for the lead-angle of the fundamental waves of the 3-phase PWM signal. The conventional lead-angle method was implemented using the fixed angle or memorized table, whereas the proposed method was automatically compensated by calculating the angle of the current and voltage signal. The algorithm of the proposed method was verified in a 30 W PM brushless motor system using a PSIM simulator. The efficiency of the conventional method was decreased 90 % to 60 %, whereas that of proposed method maintained approximately 85 % when the load shift was 0 to $0.02N{\cdot}m$. Using an FPGA prototype, the proposed method was evaluated experimentally in a 30 W PM brushless motor system. The proposed method maintained the minimum phase RMS current and 79 % of the motor efficiency under 0 to $0.09N{\cdot}m$ load conditions. The proposed PM brushless motor driving method is suitable for a variety of applications with a wide range of load conditions.

This paper presents a simple torque estimation method and switching angle control of Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) using Neural Network(NN). SRM has gaining much interest as industrial applications due to the simple structure and high efficiency. Adaptive switching angle control is essential for the optimal driving of SRM because of the driving characteristic varies with the load and speed. The proper switching angle which can increase the efficiency was investigated in this paper. NN was adapted to regulate the switching angle and nonlinear inductance modelling. Experimental result shows the validity of the switching angle controller.

This paper presents the switching angle and voltage to maximize torque/efficiency and minimize torque ripple in the 4-phase 6-poles Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM). SRM drive has high saturation and nonlinear characteristics of inductance. So we cannot hard to find optimal condition by using analytic method. Therefore it is hard to find the operating the switching angle and voltage through the approximated analysis and computer simulation by using SIMULINK according to the speed and torque required by load. From the results, we can say that the optimum average voltage is determined by the load only and the speed is determined by the optimum turn-on/off angle only. And the maximum efficiency and minimum torque ripple depend on switching angle, not on voltage. And then one-chip microcontroller controls the switching angle and voltage of an asymmetrical inverter in the SRM driver. This drive method, which is expect that the driving methods, which are maximizing torque/efficiency and minimizing torque ripple, will be suitable for the electric vehicle, the industrial application and household appliances.

An investigation of the relative velocity of friction surface for the newly developed cone drum twister texturing mechanism is reported. The cone drum twister is one of the outer surface contacting friction-twisting devices in false-twist texturing. In this cone drum twister, a filament yam passes over the surface of the cone drum that rotates by passing the yarn without a special driving device. This research is theoretically composed of the analysis of the false twisting mechanism. The equations were derived by using the conical angle of the cone drum, projected wrapping angle, and yarn helix angle. Theoretical values of the relative velocity of friction surface were calculated and discussed. It is shown that, as the projected wrapping angle increased, the relative velocity of friction surface decreased. But as the conical angle increased the relative velocity of friction surface also increased.

This paper presents a smart seat for correction of driver posture while driving. We introduce good postures with seat height, seat angle, head height, back of knees, distances of foot pedals, tilt of seat, etc. There have been some studies on correction of good posture while driving, effects of driving environment on driver's posture, sitting strategies based on seating pressure distribution, estimation of driver's standard postures, and others. However, there are a few studies on guide of good postures while driving for problem of driver's posture using machine leaning. Therefore, we suggest a smart seat for correction of driver's posture based on machine leaning, 1) developed the system to get postures by 10 piezoelectric effect element, 2) collect piezoelectric values from 37 drivers and 28 types of cars, 3) suggest 4 types of good postures while driving, 4) analyze test postures by kNN. As the results, we can guide good postures for bad or problems of postures while driving.

The tracked SUGVs(Small Unmanned Ground Vehicles) are frequently operated in the narrow slope such as stairs and trails. But due to the nature of the tracked vehicle which is steered using friction between the track and the ground and the limited field of view of driving cameras mounted on the lower position, it is not easy for SUGVs to trace narrow slopes. To properly trace inclined narrows, it is very important for SUGVs to keep it's heading direction to the slope. As a matter of factor, no roll value control of a SUGV can makes it's heading being located in the direction of the slope in general terrains. But, the problem is that we cannot directly control roll motion for SUGV. Instead we can control yaw motion. In this paper, a new slope driving method that enables the vehicle trace the narrow slopes with IMU sensor usually mounted in the SUGV is suggested which including an estimation technique of the desired yaw angle corresponding to zero roll angle. In addition, a fuzzy steering controller robust to changes in driving speed and the stair geometry is designed to simulate narrow slope driving with the suggested method. It is shown that the suggested method is quite effective through the simulation.
