Research on indoor location tracking technology using smart phone is actively being carried out. Especially, in order to display the movement path of the smartphone on the map, the azimuth angle should be estimated by using the geomagnetic sensor built in most smart phones. Due to the distortion of the magnetic field due to the surrounding steel structure and the inclination of the smartphone, the estimation error of azimuthal angle may be occurred. In this paper, we propose a correction method of the geomagnetic sensor at the stationary state and a correction method for the inclination of the smartphone. We also propose a method to correct the azimuth error due to the difference between the magnetic north and the grid north.

Axial Flux Permanent Magnet motor could widely be used for low speed and high torque applications. In this paper, to analyse the sensor positioning effect of AFPM motor which has a new concentric winding method and to calibrate the switching timing according to speed, prototype motor is manufactured. As a result of experiment, advance angle from 30 degree to 45 degree of sensor position is more proper. So, this results can be used for design of sensor position to improve characteristic of the dual gap AFPM with coreless and slotless.

This paper describes a monocular PSD-based motion capture sensor to employ with commercial video game systems such as Microsoft's XBOX and Sony's Playstation II. The system compact, low-cost, and only requires a one-time calibration at the factory. The system includes a PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) and active infrared (IR) LED markers that are placed on the object to be tracked. The PSD sensor is placed in the focal plane of a wide-angle lens. The micro-controller calculates the 3D position of the markers using only the measured intensity and 2D position on the PSD. A series of experiments were performed to evaluate the performance of our prototype system. From the experimental results we see that the proposed system's compact size, low-cost, ease of installation, and high frame rates are suitable for high speed motion tracking in games.

This paper proposes a novel current-sensorless maximum torque per ampere control for a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor with low-resolution position sensor. A direct axis current is estimated from the mathematical model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the phase angle between direct and quadrature axis voltage commands is controlled to adjust the estimated direct axis current to zero, thus a maximum torque per ampere control can be achieved. The proposed method is suitable for low cost applications with slow dynamic response characteristics.

Recently Recently, the incidence of spinal diseases due to poor posture among students and office workers is increasing, and various studies have been conducted to help maintain correct posture. In previous studies, a membrane sensor or a pressure sensor was placed on the seat cushion to see the weight bias, or a sensor that restrained the user was attached to measure the position change. In our previous study, we developed a sensor device which can be easily attached to the body with an adhesive gel sheet and that measures and outputs the user's posture and body position in real time, but it has a limitation in the accuracy of the sensor value. In this study, a study was conducted to improve the performance of the position conversion sensor device and quantitatively evaluate the accuracy of the angle conversion measurement value, and a high accuracy with 2.53% of error rate was confirmed. In future research, it is considered that additional research targeting actual users is needed by diversifying posture correction training contents with multimedia elements added.

The PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) is a sensor for detecting the position of incident light. Because of its various advantages, it is used for position and angle sensing, optical range finders, laser displacement sensing, and etc. In the previous study of the position finding system, the laser tracking robot is developed. Small data rate and unidirectionality is the characteristics of data communication both DSP-based pan/tilt control board and the robot. If we can transmit data to the target using PSD sensor and laser diode module, there is no need for communication devices such as the bluetooth and wireless module. For this reason, this paper presents the new method for data transmission. Transmit data using RS-232 is modulated by a VTF(Voltage To Frequency) converter The laser diode module transmits the modulated data. And then the PSD sensor receive that data. Demodulation process is accomplished by the system which is consisted with trans-impedance amplifier, FTV(Frequency To Voltage) converter, and etc.

Switched reluctance motor(SRM) has the advantages of simple structure, low rotor inertia and high efficiency. However, position sensor is essential in SRM in order to synchronize the phase excitation to the rotor Position. The Position sensors increase the cost of drive system and tend to reduce system reliability. This paper investigates the speed control of sensorless SRM in which the Phase current and change rate are utilized in position decision, and the period of dwell angle is variable for speed control. The proposed system consists of Position decision circuit, speed controller, digital logic commutator, switching angle controller and inverter The performances in the proposed system are verified through the experiment.

In this paper, the performance analysis of optics-based sensor node localization using ToF (Time of Flight) scheme is conducted. Generally, the position of the sensor node is calculated on the base station. And the base station scans neighboring sensor nodes with a laser. The laser which is reflected from one sensor node, however, can be reached to the base station at different angles according to the scanning resolution. This means that the error of the reached angle can increase and one node may be recognized as different nodes. Also the power of laser can decrease because the laser signal spread. Thus the sensor node which is located at a long distance from the base station cannot be detected. In order to overcome these problems which can be occurred in localization using ToF, the beam spot, the scanning resolution, the size of reflector and the power of laser at the sensor node were analyzed. It can be expected that the consequence of analysis can be provided in acquisition of accurate position of sensor node and construction of optics-based sensor node localization system.

Switched reluctance generators(SRGs) attract much attention in the generator because of high efficiency, simplicity, and ruggedness. They require rotor position information In determine the turn-on and turn-off angle, but the rotor position sensor is less tolerant of extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperature or dust, so the position sensor is limited and undesirable. This paper describes a new approach to estimate the rotor position from the measured terminal voltages and currents of the SRG. The proposed method is based on the instantaneous inductance of the SRG. The proposed method is verified by computer simulations and experiments.
