This paper presents a new method for estimating rotor resistance of induction motor. The rotor resistance changes dramatically with temperature and frequency. Speed is controlled by PID as it is simplest and most intuitive control method. The change in rotor resistance has a great influence on the performance of IM. In this paper rotor resistance is estimated using Non Linear Disturbance Observer. The model uncertainty and system non linearity are treated as disturbance in this method. Using NDO it does not require an accurate dynamic model to achieve high precision motor control. Controller with NDO has more superior tracking performance. Simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed controller.

Fretting is a kind of surface degradation mechanism observed in mechanical components and structures. When two pieces of materials, pressed together by an external static load, are subjected to a transverse cyclic loading or various vibrations, so that one contacting face is relatively displaced cyclically parallel to the other face, wear of the mating surfaces occurs. These fretting damages may be observed in electrical connectors for automotive components, where there are special environments and various vibration conditions. This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of fretting test equipment that was developed for reliability test of electrical connector. Fretting tests were carried out using tin coated connectors and friction force, contact resistance, contact area and roughness of contact region were investigated. The following results that will be helpful to understand the fretting wear mechanism, increase process the contact resistance and contact area were obtained. (1) In the same frequency and slip amplitude, the friction force, roughness and contact area increased rapidly until about $10^3$ cycles, after which it was slightly changed. (2) In the various frequency and slip amplitude, the contact area increased with slip amplitude and cyclic numbers, but it did not depend on cyclic frequency. (3) The surface roughness of contact region did not depend on the cyclic frequency. From these results, the applicability of the fretting wear test equipment and reliability of connector were discussed.

In this paper, the optimal design and circuit simulation verification results of an LLC resonant half-bridge dc-dc converter using a steady-state model with internal loss resistance are reported. Above all, the input/output voltage gain and frequency characteristic equations in the steady-state were derived by reflecting the internal loss resistance in the equivalent circuit. Based on the results, an LLC resonant half-bridge dc-dc converter with an input voltage of 360-420V, an output voltage of 54V, and a maximum power of 3kW was designed, and to verify the design, the PSIM circuit simulation was executed to compare and analyze the result. In particular, the operating range of the converter could be drawn from the frequency characteristic graph of the voltage gain, and when the converter was operated under light and maximum load conditions, it was confirmed that similar results were obtained by comparing simulation results and calculation results in the switching frequency characteristic graph. In addition, the change of the switching frequency with respect to the load current at each input voltage was compared with the calculated value and the simulation result. As a result, it was possible to confirm the usefulness of the analysis result reflecting the internal loss resistance proposed in this paper and the process of the optimal design.

This paper proposes a method that can be used for the resistance estimation of a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)-driven solenoid. By using estimated solenoid resistance, the PWM duty ratio was compensated to be proportional to the solenoid current. The proposed method was developed for use with EHB (Electro-Hydraulic Braking) systems, which are essential features of the regenerative braking system of many electric vehicles. Because the HU (Hydraulic Unit) of most EHB systems performs not only ABS/TCS/ESP (Electronic Stability Program) functions but also service braking function, the possible duration of continuous solenoid driving is so long that the generated heat can drastically change the level of solenoid resistance. The current model of the PWM-driven solenoid is further developed in this paper; from this a new resistance equation is derived. This resistance equation is solved by using an iterative method known as the FPT (fixed point theorem). Furthermore, by taking the average of the resistance estimates, it was possible to successfully eliminate the effect of measurement noise factors. Simulation results showed that the proposed method contained a sufficient pass-band in the frequency response. Experimental results also showed that adaptive solenoid driving which incorporates resistance estimations is able to maintain a linear relationship between the PWM duty ratio and the solenoid current in spite of a wide variety of ambient temperatures and continuous driving.

In this paper, the electrical characteristics of interdigital capacitor with single-layer and multi-layer graphene were compared and analyzed in the microwave region. In equivalent circuit, a capacitor coupled with graphene showed the clear difference in electrical components such as resistance, inductance, and capacitance. In particular, for the capacitor with single-layer graphene, additional inductance and resistance occurred and the electrode resistance was also increased. Meanwhile, the self-resonance frequency of capacitor was shifted toward lower frequency region and its transmitted characteristic was considerably improved at frequency ranging from 0.4 to 4 GHz. The electrical characteristics of the capacitor with multi-layer graphene were somewhat different than the bare capacitor. In conclusion, we could confirm that single-layer graphene greatly influenced the electrical characteristics and performances of interdigital capacitor compared to multi-layer graphene.

In this paper, we fabricated Cu/Mn alloy shunt resistor with low resistance and thermal stability for use of mobile electronic devices. We designed metal alloy composed of copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) to embody in low resistance and low TCR which are conflict each other. Cu allows high electrical conductivity and Mn serves thermal stability in this Cu/Mn alloy system. We confirmed the elemental composition of the designed metal alloy system by using energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. We obtained low resistance below $10m{\Omega}$ and low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) below $100ppm/^{\circ}C$ from the designed Cu/Mn alloy resistor. And in order to minimize resistance change caused by alternative frequency on circuit, shape design of the metal alloy wire is performed by rolling process. Finally, we conclude that design of the metal alloy system was successfully done by alloying Cu and 3 wt% of Mn, and the Cu/Mn alloy resistor has low resistance and thermal stability.

To save energy consumption, it is proposed to operate a discharge lamp with high frequency power. When designing a high frequency operating circuit containing a discharge lamp, the character of a lamp may be needed. And there are various methods to get and models for this. In this study, to present the volt-ampere character of a fluorescent lamp which gives a good saving effect, the nonlinear resistance model is suggested. And the validity of the model is verified by applying the model for the circuits with inductor ballast and capacifor ballast. This model, in contrast with the others, can be easily obtainable. And for comparison, the model using a modified Francis equation is examined. The method used in this study can be basically applied to the other discharge lamps. As a result, 1) Approximated 3rd order polynomial of nonlinear resistance model gives a good simulation result. 2) When operating in high frequency, the model using a modified Francis equation with constant coefficients can't be applied.

This study examined the prevalence of adherence factors, toxin genes, antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, and resistance genes in Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from piglets with diarrhea before and after the ban on antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in Korea from 2007 to 2018. In this period, pathogenic 474 E. coli isolates were obtained from diarrheic piglets. The virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance genes were assayed using a polymerase chain reaction, and the susceptibility to antibiotics was tested according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. After the ban on AGPs, the frequency of F4 (12.5% to 32.7%) increased significantly, and LT (31.9% to 20.3%) and EAST-I (46.5% to 35.2%) decreased significantly. In addition, the resistance to streptomycin (45.8% to 67.9%), cephalothin (34.0% to 59.4%), and cefazlin (10.4% to 28.8%) increased significantly. Colistin resistance plasmid-mediated genes, mcr-1 and mcr-3, were detected after the ban on AGPs. The results of this study can provide useful data for analyzing the impact of the ban on AGPs on the virulence profiles and antimicrobial resistance of E. coli isolated from piglets with diarrhea in Korea.
