In inverter system for driving induction motor, the output harmonics are hamrful in induction motor drive because it leads to ripple torque and induction interference. For electrical drives using PWM(Pulsewidth Modulation) inverters and ac motors, the methods for efficiency optimal control have been developed. In this paper, two different PWM methods for inverter and voltage control technique are described. In order to reduce or minimize losses, various forms of PWM strategy such as, PM (Positive Modulation) and NM (Negative Modulation) are discussed. The results show the feasibility of obtaining practically sinusoidal output waveforms which are highly desirable in most inverter application.

Switched Reluctance motors(SRM) attract much attention in motor because they are reliable and inexpensive. With advance in power electronics and high-speed processors the performance of SRM has been enhanced greatly. But they require rotor position information to operate, In many systems rotor position sensors are undesirable and have disadvantages. To overcome the disadvantages include by position sensors a number of sensorless methods for SRM's have been proposed by researchers. This paper describes a method for indirect sensing of rotor position in SRM's pulsewidth modulation voltage control. The method required no priori knowledge of motor parameters excepts for the number of stator and rotor poles. The detection method uses the change of the derivative of the phase current to detect the position.

The choice of control method and circuit must be decided after a broad inspection with the characteristics of load and control elements as well as that of electric and mechanical nature. In the present study, Pulse width modulated(PWM) SCR chopper was chosen and for the electric commutation, Jones' forced method was taken bacause of its having enough reverse bias energy. Objectives of experimentation by this system are; 1) the condition of SCR as a gate trigger pulse. 2) the observation of phenomena at the time of forced commutation 3) the experimentation on characteristics of speed control by PWM chopper. Above experimentation shows good characteristics, however, in the limit of narrow gap between the ON and OFF pulses, a complete control was not possible. So, that must be the point to be studied further alone with the harmonics influence.

In removing the flue-gas using electrical discharge method, it is important to dissociate or ionize the atoms and molecules by the collisions with energetic electrons and it produces the radicals that are used to decompose the pollutants. For that purpose, a bidirectional pulsed voltage is used to produce lots of energetic electrons efficiently and increase the power efficiency. The simulation is performed with changing the pulsewidth under the fixed applied voltage. The particle-mesh model coupling the NGP(nearest-grid-point) to FEM(finite element method) is used to simulate the behavior of electrons and the spatio-temporal variation of the electric field for the streamer in discharge tube.

This paper proposes a common-mode voltage reduction method base on SVPWM(Space-Vector Pulsewidth Modulation) in three phase PWM converter/inverter system. By shifting the active voltage vector of inverter and aligning this to the active vector of converter, it is possible to eliminate a common-mode voltage pulse in one control period. Since the proposed PWM method maintains the active voltage vector, it does not affect the control performance of PWM converter/inverter system. Without any extra hardware, overall common mode voltage dv/dt and conrresponding leakage current can be reduced to two-third of the conventional three phase symmetric SVPWM scheme.

Capacitive position sensing with modulation technique is widely used in electrostatic actuator applications. To maximize the electrostatic force and the position-sensing gain, capacitors for driving and capacitors for sensing are shared, i.e, after applying the driving voltage with high-frequency modulating signals using op amps, the position is demodulated from the modulated signal. In high-voltage applications, however, low bandwidth of a high-voltage op amp hinders adding the high-frequency modulating signal to the driving voltage. In this paper, new and very simple driving and sensing method is proposed, in which the pulse-width modulated driving voltage eliminates the need of the high-frequency modulating signal for position sensing. This new algorithm is proved by the simulation results using Matlab/SIMULINK.

A structure of musculotendon model with a fatigue profile is investigated. The Hill-type musculotendon model can predicts the decline in muscle force for a given fatigue profile. It consists of nonlinear activation and contraction dynamics based on the physiological concepts. It is normalized for generalization to deal with the various muscles. Muscle force generated by continuous tetanic electrical monophasic pulsewidth modulation stimulation is decreased in time. A fatigue profile is expressed by a function of intramuscular acidification and applied to the relationship between muscle force and shortening velocity in contraction dynamics. The results of computer simulation are well matched with data in a literature which are isometrically performed for knee extension muscles. Also change in optimal fiber length has an effect only on muscle time, constant not on the steady-state tetanic force.

Additive-pulse mode-locking (APM) was performed in a $1.053{\mu}m$ cw Nd:YLF laser by coupling a nonlinear external external cavity to the main cavity. The APM pulsewidth was 4.5 ps and the average output power was 1.5 W. This APM pulse was compressed by an optical fiber and a grating pair to be as short as 210 fs with a peak power of 17 kW.

Experimental studies of laser micromachining on Mo metal using piezo Q-switched Nd:YAG laser have been performed. Miniaturized microcolumn electron gun arrays as a potential electron beam lithography or portable mini-scanning electron microscope application have recently extensively examined. For these purpose, the electro-static electron lens and deflector system called microcolumn has to be assembled. The conventional microcolumn fabrication technique would gave a limitation on the minimization of aberration. The current technique of a 1 $\mu$m misalignment would lead to ~1.3 nm coma. In order to reduce aberration, assembling the microcolumn component followed by laser drilling should be very beneficial. In this report, we will address the preliminary report of laser micromachining on Mo substrate using piezo Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The geometrical figures, such as the diameter and the depth of the frilled aperture are dependent upon the total energy of the laser pulse train, laser pulsewidth, and the diameter of laser beam in addition to the materials-dependent parameters.

Polyimide is one of the useful materials in industry. The surface treatment of polyimide by a femtosecond laser can help accurate and fine fabrication of microstructure. And it can change the transmittance and reflectance of polyimide, too. We put femtosecond laser pulses on polyimide for rectangular or square type surface treaments and observe the change of transmittance and reflectance. Pulsewidth is 172 fs, laser power changes for fabrication are from 5 mW to 20 mW, and transmittance and reflectance are measured under 20m W, 300m W, and 920 mW. Pulse patterning is stable and almost no unwanted surface damage is shown. As power increases, working depth increases but working line width does not increase significantly. As speed changes, they also have same results. It shows the efficiency of a femtosecond laser is good and thermal damage is small for polyimide.
