An alternative technique to control multilevel inverters with vector approximations has been presented. The innovative control method utilizes specially designed two-dimensional hysteresis comparators to simplify the implementation and improve the resultant waveform. The multistage inverter designed with maximum number of levels is operated in such a way to approximate the reference voltage vector by exploiting the large number of multilevel inverter vectors. A three-stage inverter with the main high voltage stage made of three phase, six-switch and singly-fed inverter is considered for application to the proposed design. The proposed control concept is to maintain a higher voltage stage state as long as it can lead to a target vector. High and medium voltage stages controllers are based on surface hysteresis comparators to hold the switching state or to perform the necessary change to achieve its reference voltage with minimal switching losses. The low voltage stage controller is designed to approximate the target reference voltage to the nearest inverter vector using the nearest integer rounding and adjustment comparators. Model simulation and prototype test results show that the proposed control technique clearly outperforms the previous control methods.

스마트폰의 대중화로 인하여 앱 마켓 시장이 급속도로 성장하였다. 이로 인하여 하루에도 수십개의 새로운 앱들이 출시되고 있다. 이러한 앱 마켓 시장의 급격한 성장으로 인해 사용자들은 자신이 흥미를 가질만한 앱들을 선택하는데 큰 어려움을 겪고 있어 앱 추천 방법에 대한 연구에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 기존 연구에서 협력 필터링 기반의 추천 방법들을 제안하였으나 이는 콜드 스타트 문제를 지니고 있다. 이와는 달리 컨텐츠 기반 필터링 방식은 콜드 스타트 문제를 효율적으로 해소할 수 있는 방법이지만 앱설명에는 광고, 공지사항등 실질적으로 앱의 특징과는 무관한 노이즈들이 다수 존재하고 이들은 앱 사이의 유사관계를 파악하는데 방해가 된다. 본 논문에서는 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 앱 설명에서 노이즈에 해당하는 설명들을 자동으로 제거할 수 있는 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 모바일 앱 설명을 구성하고 있는 각 문단을 LDA로 학습된 토픽들의 비율로 나타내고 이들을 분류문제에서 우수한 성능을 보이는 SVM을 이용하여 분류한다. 실험 결과에 따르면 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 기존에 문서 분류에 많이 사용되는 Bag-of-Word 표현법에 기반한 문서 표현 방식보다 더 나은 분류 성능을 보였다.

This paper presents a detailed realization of direct torque controlled induction motor drive for elevator applications. The drive is controlled according to the well-known space vector modulated direct control scheme (SVM-DTC). As the elevator drives are usually equipped with speed sensors, flux estimation is carried out using a current model where two stator currents are measured and accurate instantaneous rotor speed measurement is used to overcome the need for measuring stator voltages. Speed profiling for a comfortable elevator ride and other supervisory control activities to provide smooth operation are also explained. The drive performance is examined and controllers' parameters are fine-tuned using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The blocks used for flux and torque estimation and control in the offline simulation are compiled for real-time using dSPACE Microlabox. The performance of the drive has been verified experimentally. The results show good performance under transient and steady state conditions.

Non-intrusive methods based on active remote IR illumination for eye tracking is important for many applications of vision-based man-machine interaction. One problem that has plagued those methods is their sensitivity to lighting condition change. This tends to significantly limit their scope of application. In this paper, we present a new real-time eye detection and tacking methodology that works under variable and realistic lighting conditions. Based on combining the bright-Pupil effect resulted from IR light and the conventional appearance-based object recognition technique, our method can robustly track eyes when the pupils ale not very bright due to significant external illumination interferences. The appearance model is incorporated in both eyes detection and tacking via the use of support vector machine and the mean shift tracking. Additional improvement is achieved from modifying the image acquisition apparatus including the illuminator and the camera.

Recently, solar power generation shows the significant growth in the renewable energy field. Using the short-term prediction, it is possible to control the electric power demand and the power generation plan of the auxiliary device. However, a short-term prediction can be used when you know the weather forecast. If it is not possible to use the weather forecast information because of disconnection of network at the island and the mountains or for security reasons, the accuracy of prediction is not good. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a system capable of short-term prediction of solar power generation amount by using only the weather information that has been collected by oneself. We used temperature, humidity and insolation as weather information. We have applied a moving average to each information because they had a characteristic of time series. It was composed of min, max and average of each information, differences of mutual information and gradient of it. An artificial neural network, SVM and RBF Network model was used for the prediction algorithm and they were combined by Ensemble method. The results of this suggest that using a moving average during pre-processing and ensemble prediction models will maximize prediction accuracy.

디지털 트윈이란 현실 세계의 물리적인 사물을 컴퓨터 상에 동일하게 가상화 시키는 기술을 의미하는 것으로, 물리적 사물이나 시스템을 모델링하거나 IoT 기술에 접목되어 활용되고 있는 기술이다. 디지털 트윈 기술은 가상의 모델을 무한정 시뮬레이션을 통해 동작을 튜닝하고 환경변화에 대한 대응을 미리 실험하여 리스크를 최소화할 수 있는 장점을 지닌다. 최근 인공지능이나 기계학습에 관련된 기술들이 주목받기 시작하면서, 이와 같은 물리적인 사물의 모델링 작업을 데이터 기반으로 수행하려는 시도가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 산업현장에서 많이 활용되는 인더스트리 4.0 공장 자동화의 핵심인 협력 로봇의 디지털 트윈을 구축하기 위해서는 로봇의 동작을 인지하는 과정이 필수적으로 요구된다. 그러나 현재 협력 로봇의 동작을 인지하기 위한 시도는 미비하며, 센서 데이터를 기반으로 동작을 역으로 예측하는 기술은 더욱 그렇다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 로봇의 동작을 인지하기 위해 가정용 협력 로봇에서 전류 및 관성 데이터를 수집하기 위한 실험 환경을 구축하고, 수집한 센서 데이터를 기반으로 한 동작 예측 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 방식은 로봇의 동작 명령어를 조인트 위치 기반으로 분류하고 전류와 위치 센서 값을 사용하여 학습을 통해 예측하는 방식이다. SVM 을 이용하여 학습한 결과, 모델의 성능은 평균적으로 정확도, 정밀도, 및 재현율이 모두 96%로 평가되었다.

Predictions of Energy Consumption for Industries gain an important place in energy management and control system, as there are dynamic and seasonal changes in the demand and supply of energy. This paper presents and discusses the predictive models for energy consumption of the steel industry. Data used includes lagging and leading current reactive power, lagging and leading current power factor, carbon dioxide (tCO2) emission and load type. In the test set, four statistical models are trained and evaluated: (a) Linear regression (LR), (b) Support Vector Machine with radial kernel (SVM RBF), (c) Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), (d) random forest (RF). Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) are used to measure the prediction efficiency of regression designs. When using all the predictors, the best model RF can provide RMSE value 7.33 in the test set.

The purpose of this paper is to study a high-performance control scheme for neutral-point-clamping three-level (NPC-3L) inverter fed dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives by considering some asymmetric factors such as the non-identical parameters in phase windings. To implement this, the system model is analyzed for dual three-phase PMSM drives with asymmetric factors based on the vector space decomposition (VSD) principle. Based on the equivalent circuits, PI controllers with feedforward compensation are used in the d-q subspace for regulating torque, where the cut-off frequency of the PI controllers are set at the twice the fundamental frequency for compensating both the additional DC component and the second order component caused by asymmetry. Meanwhile, proportional resonant (PR) controllers are proposed in the x-y subspace for suppressing the possible unbalanced currents in the phase windings. A dual three-phase space vector modulation (DT-SVM) is designed for the drive, and the balancing factor is designed based on the numerical fitting surface for balancing the DC link capacitor voltages. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical analysis and the proposed control scheme.

The traditional classification methods mostly assume that the data for class distribution is balanced, while imbalanced data is widely found in the real world. So it is important to solve the problem of classification with imbalanced data. In Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (MTS) algorithm, data classification model is constructed with the reference space and measurement reference scale which is come from a single normal group, and thus it is suitable to handle the imbalanced data problem. In this paper, an improved method of MTS-CBPSO is constructed by introducing the chaotic mapping and binary particle swarm optimization algorithm instead of orthogonal array and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to select the valid variables, in which G-means, F-measure, dimensionality reduction are regarded as the classification optimization target. This proposed method is also applied to the financial distress prediction of Chinese listed companies. Compared with the traditional MTS and the common classification methods such as SVM, C4.5, k-NN, it is showed that the MTS-CBPSO method has better result of prediction accuracy and dimensionality reduction.

Each year Malaria affects over 200 million people worldwide. Particularly, African continent is highly hit by this disease. According to many researches, this continent is ideal for Anopheles mosquitoes which transmit Malaria parasites to thrive. Rainfall volume is one of the major factor favoring the development of these Anopheles in the tropical Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). However, the surveillance, monitoring and reporting of this epidemic is still poor and bureaucratic only. In our paper, we proposed a method to fast monitor and report Malaria instances by using Social Network Systems (SNS) and precipitation volume in Nigeria. We used Twitter search Application Programming Interface (API) to live-stream Twitter messages mentioning Malaria, preprocessed those Tweets and classified them into Malaria cases in Nigeria by using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification algorithm and compared those Malaria cases with average precipitation volume. The comparison yielded a correlation of 0.75 between Malaria cases recorded by using Twitter and average precipitations in Nigeria. To ensure the certainty of our classification algorithm, we used an oversampling technique and eliminated the imbalance in our training Tweets.
