This paper describes the PI controller design based on a practical transfer function model for centrifugal water chillers. The rotational speed of a compressor and the opening angle of an electronic expansion valve were simultaneously regulated as manipulated variables to maintain temperature reference and to ensure high efficiency of the chiller. The COP according to the change in each variable was investigated by performing some static experiments, and it was reflected in the PI controller design to accomplish the high efficiency control. Especially, the practical transfer function model of the chiller was built based on the dynamic experimental data considering the strong inherent non-linearity and complexity of the chiller system. The validity of the designed PI controller was proven by some experimental results using the test facility and the results were also compared to the conventional evaporating pressure control results.

For use in patients with severe forms of heart disease for which no surgical repair is possible, development of artificial hearts has many importance in point of economics, medical and industrial applications. To provide a sufficient cardiac output to the physiological demands of circulatory systems is the objective of control systems for an electromechanical artificial heart, which is based on the stable controller design for the motor in the artificial heart. In this paper, an implantable microcontroller-based brushless DC motor control system with the implantability, reliability, and stability is introduced. The developed control system for the artificial heart has the following advantages: (1) It is possible to be implanted in a body by realizing the fundamental functions such as a motor speed detection, proportional-intergral control, timer, and PWM generation through a software programming. (2) Thus, the power consumed in the controller is reduced. (3) The reliability and stability are improved through the reduction of electronic parts and line connetions at the controller. The performance of the artificial hearts and control system developed was evaluated through a series of mock circulatory experiments and a reliability test for one and half years. A sheep with the artificial heart and control system was survived for three days.

This paper proposed an ECAM (Electronic cam) control system which has simple and general structure. The proposed cam controller adopted the linear and polynomial curve-fitting method to generates a smooth cam profile curve function. Smooth motion trajectory of master actuator guarantees the good performance of slave motion and has an important effect on the interpolation quality of ECAM. The auto-tuning PID velocity controller was applied to overcome the uncertainties in ECAM, and the gains of the controller are updated continuously to ensure the consistency of system performance under varying working conditions. The robustness of system against the varying load torque disturbances and noises is guaranteed by using the load torque disturbance observer to suppress the disturbance on master actuator. The velocity compensator was applied to compensate the degradation of performance of slave motion caused from the varying driving speed of master motion. The stability and validity of the proposed ECAM control system was verified by simulation results.

This paper is concerned with the development of power amplifier and controller for piezoelectric actuator and sensor used in smart structures. Even though a high-voltage power amplifier is provided in the form of an operational amplifier, a very high DC voltage is still necessary as a power supply. In this study, we propose a low-cost design for the power amplifier including the DC power supply. We also need a controller on which a control algorithm will be mounted. In general, a digital signal processing chip is popularly used because of high speed. However, only commercial product is available for smart structure applications. In this paper, a controller consisting of a DSP and electronic circuits suitable for piezoelectric sensor and actuator pair is proposed. To validate the proposed controller with power amplifier, experiment on smart structure was carried out. The experimental results show that the proposed control system can be effectively used for smart structure applications with low cost.

산업자동화의 고정밀도에 따라 강인한 제어가 요구되고 있다. 하지만 PID 제어기를 갖는 전동기 시스템이 부하 외란을 받게 되면 제어시스템의 강인 제어는 어렵게 된다. 이에 대해 보완적인 한 방법으로 본 논문에서는 전동기 제어 시스템을 위한 PID-전문가 복합형 제어기법을 제시하였다. 만약 PID 제어 시스템이 안정한 상태에 있다면 전문가 제어기는 사용되지 않는다. 그러나 오차가 일단 발생하게 되면, 전문가 제어기는 오차를 구속 영역 내로 들어가도록 제어한다. 이에 따라 외란의 영향은 현저히 감소하게 된다. PID-전문가 복합형 제어기를 이용한 직류 서보 전동기의 강인성을 시뮬레이션에 의해 확인하였다.

This paper proposes hardware architecture of HEVC (high efficiency video coding) CABAC (context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding) binarizer. The proposed binarizer was designed and implemented as an independent module that can be integrated into HEVC CABAC encoder. It generates each bin string of each syntax element in a single cycle. It consists of controller module, TU (truncated unary binarization) module, TR (truncated Rice binarization) module, FL (fixed length binarization) module, EGK (k-th order exp-Golomb coding) module, CALR (coeff_abs_level_remaining) module, QP Delta (cu_qp_delta_abs) module, Intra Pred (intra_chroma_pred_mode) module, Inter Pred (inter_pred_idc) module, and Part Mode (part_mode) module. The proposed binarizer was designed in Verilog HDL, and it was implemented in 45 nm technology. Its operating speed, gate count, and power consumption are 200 MHz, 1,678 gates, and 50 uW, respectively.

This paper presents a novel bio-mimetic quadruped walking robot with a waist joint, which connects the front and the rear parts of the body. The new robot, called ELIRO-1(Eating LIzard RObot version 1), can bend its body while the legs is transferred, thereby increasing the stride and speed of the robot. The waist-jointed walking robot can move easily from side to side, which is an important feature to guarantee a larger gait stability margin than that of a conventional single rigid-body walking robot. We design the mechanical structure of the robot, which is small and light to have high movability and high degree of human friendship. In this paper, we describe characteristics of the waist joint and leg mechanism as well as the analysis using ADAMS to select appropriate actuators. In addition, a hardware and software of the controller of ELIRO-1 are described.

A loss minimizing controller is developed for a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The PMSM losses are modeled by some experimental equations. Applying Lagrangian to the loss function, a necessary condition for the optimality appears to be a fourth order polynomial, and the loss minimizing solutions are obtained by a simple numerical approach. On the other hand, the loss minimizing solutions are found by scanning the motor loss in the entire operating region. The two results agree well. The loss minimizing current sets for given torque and speed are made into a table, which is utilized as a look-up in the current control loop.

This paper presents a novel scheme that quickly searches for the sweet spot of multiple array antennas, and locks on to it for high-speed millimeter wavelength transmissions. The proposed method utilizes a modified genetic algorithm, which selects a superior initial group through preprocessing in order to solve the local solution in a genetic algorithm. TDD (Time Division Duplex) is utilized as the transfer method and data controller for the antenna. Once the initial communication is completed for the specific number of individuals, no longer antenna's data will be transmitted until each station processes GA in order to produce the next generation. After reproduction, individuals of the next generation become the data, and communication between each station is made again. Simulation results confirmed the efficiency of the proposed method.
