Audio power amplifiers have been designed based on the premise that the impedance of loudspeakers is fixed at nominal 4 ohms or 8 ohms. However, it is known that the impedance varies with frequency and takes on the nominal value at some limited frequencies. The principle of the loudspeaker operation reveals that the sound pressure produced by the loudspeaker is proportional to the current flowing in the voice coil, not the voltage between the two terminals. We take the characteristics of the loudspeaker into account and compare the frequency responses of the loudspeaker in voltage-drive mode and current-drive mode via computer simulations, to conclude that the audio amplifier drive mode should be re-considered in an effort to improve the sound quality.

This paper proposes a novel current control scheme for vector-controlled induction machine (IM) drives in the overmodulation (OVM) range, with which the voltage utilization of the voltage-source inverter (VSI) can be maximized. In the OVM region, the original voltage reference is modified by changing its magnitude and angle, which causes the motor current to be distorted, resulting in a deterioration of the current control performance. To meet with this situation, the harmonic components in the feedback currents should be eliminated before being input to the PI current controllers. For this, a composite observer is applied to extract the fundamental and harmonic components from the distorted currents, which gives a good performance without a delay and the effect of a fundamental frequency variation. In addition, through a detailed analysis of the response of the PI current controllers in the OVM range, the effectiveness of using the composite observer is demonstrated. Simulation and experimental results for a 3-kW induction motor drive are shown to verify the validity of the proposed method.

The conventional current transformers are often take faults and out of order that for detect to over current of electric power lines because electromagnetic interference. But, it is possible to implement protection relay of high reliability using optical magnetic field sensor which are immunity and small size. The optical magnetic field sensor is possible to rapidly detect to over current and recover when electric power line have fault. And it is not necessary to make with capacitance of electric power lines as optical magnetic field sensor is have linearity from 0 to about 20kA. In this study, we designed and constructed compensative feedback circuit in order to minimize of optical power intensity variation with environ- mental variations(temperature, drive current) of light source. And this system have highest optical advantages and reliability.

This paper deals with a novel full digital control method of the three-phase PWM inverter for UPS. The voltage and current of output filter capacitor as state variables are the feedback control input. In addition, a double deadbeat control consisting of a d-q current minor loop and a d-q voltage major loop, both with precise decoupling, have been developed. The switching pulse width modulation based on SVM is adopted so that the capacitor current should be exactly equal to its reference current. In order to compensate the calculation time delay, the predictive control is achieved by the current·voltage observer. The load prediction is used to compensate the load disturbance by disturbance observer with deadbeat response. The experimental results show that the proposed system offers an output voltage with THD less than 2% at a full nonlinear load.

This paper presents an newly developed MPPT method for PV-SPE system. To chase maximum power point at every moment under conventional MPPT control method, voltage and current coming out from PV-cell are needed to be feedbacked. In this newly developed Maximum Current Control method, however, current flowing into SPE cell is only one considerable factor. To verify the theory, simulated results are compared and shown in this paper. Authors are sure that it is the most useful method to the maximum power from PV to SPE with only a feedback of SPE input current.

This paper presents a grid voltage-sensorless current control design for an LCL-filtered grid-connected inverter with the purpose of enhancing the reliability and reducing the total cost of system. A disturbance observer based on the gradient steepest descent method is adopted to estimate the grid voltages with high accuracy and light computational burden even under distorted grid conditions. The grid fundamental components are effectively extracted from the estimated gird voltages by means of a least-squares algorithm to facilitate the synchronization process without using the conventional phase-locked loop. Finally, the estimated states of inverter system obtained by a discrete current-type full state observer are utilized in the state feedback current controller to realize a stable voltage-sensorless current control scheme. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated through the simulation results.

This paper presents an active current regulator for LED driver IC. The proposed driver circuit is consists of DC-DC converter for supplying constant DC voltage to LED, active current regulator for compensating channel-to-channel current error from LED strings and feedback circuit for controlling duty ratio of the converter. The proposed active current regulator senses current of LED channels by equalizing both $V_{DS}$ and $V_{GS}$ at LED current control transistor. Because the proposed circuit directly measures the LED channel current without a sensing resistor and regulates all channel with same regulation loop, the power consumption and the current error are much small compared with previous works. The measured maximum efficiency of overall LED driver IC is approximately 94% and current error of LED channel-to-channel is under ${\pm}1.3%$. The proposed LED driver IC is fabricated Dongbu 0.35um BCD process.

Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to share the resources of a physical machine in order to utilize idle resources. The purpose of virtualization is the efficient allocation of resources among virtual machines. However, the efficient allocation of resources is difficult because the workload characteristics of each virtual machine cannot be understood in the current virtualization environment. This causes performance interference among virtual machines, which leads to performance degradation of the virtual machine. Previous works have been carried out to develop a method of solving such performance interference. This paper introduces a representative method, a CPU scheduling method that guarantees I/O performance by using feedback control to solve performance interference. In addition, we compare and analyze a model-based feedback control method and a dynamic feedback control method.

The objective of this study was to identify the effects of weight-transfer training on the weight bearing distribution and gait patterns of hemiplegic patients through visual and auditory feedback using a limb load monitor. The subjects of this study were 18 hemiplegic patients who had been hospitalized or were visited out-patient department of the Rehabilitation Hospital, College of Medicine, Yonsei University, from January 5, 1995 through March 15, 1995. Pre-and post-training changes in gait patterns were measured using ink foot prints as well as by recording weight bearing distribution using a limb load monitor. The data were analyzed by the repeated measure one-way ANOVA and paired t-test. The finding were as follows: 1. Prior to the training, 18 subjects bore more weight on the sound leg(61.6 %) than on the affected leg(38.4 %). 2. Posterior to the training, the average percentage of weight bearing on the affected leg increased significantly from 38.4 % prior to training; to 46.0 % immediately after training; 45.7 % after a 30 second delay; and 45.3 % after a 60 second 3. The difference in gait patterns between pre- and post- training was statistically significant, with an increase in gait velocity to 3.65 cm/sec post-training; an increase in stride length to 5.37 cm on the affected side; 4.77 cm on the sound side; and a narrowing of the base of support to 1.19 cm. In conclusion, hemiplegic weight-transfer training using visual and auditory feedback with a limb load monitor was found to be enhancing symmetrical standing posture, and simultaneously improve gait patterns.

Since the variations of electromagnetic suspension forces of maglev trains have close relations with the acceleration of the levitated bodies, it is basic to control the levitation forces using the measured acceleration of vehicles. In this study, an airgap control algorithm based on acceleration feedback is applied to maglev trains and a dynamic analysis method is developed considering maglev train-guideway interaction. Using the developed method, dynamic behaviors of a maglev train-guideway interaction system are investigated. It is observed from the analysis that the current design guidelines can be satisfied when the proposed airgap control algorithm is employed. Using the contorl algorithm, the current guidelines can be improved and economical maglev railway guideway structures can be designed.
