This paper presents a new precision stage by using the PZT actuator and stepping motor. The stage have the precision positioning mechanism that has been developed for generation displacements with nanometer accuracy and a millimeter dynamic range simulatneously. The stage is composed not of the mechanical elastic hinge but of the clamp, and only one PZT actuator. The displacement of stage is acquired by the control of the two clamp between the PZT actuator. The results of the FEM analysis in the contact part of the clamp and basic properties of the positioning system are also presented. Using the new stage proposed in this paper.

This paper presents a method for calculating iron losses in three-phase induction motors under the inverter supply through the field-circuit coupled time-stepping finite element method (FEM). Iron losses are calculated by using the three-term iron losses separated model and modifying the loss coefficients obtained by the iron losses curves which are provided by the manufacturer under the sinusoidal supply. Simulation results by the presented method are verified by the measured results with an error lower than 5%, confirming the validity of the proposed method. Finally, iron losses distribution of the inverter-fed three-phase induction prototype motor is shown.

This paper presents a new time-stepping 3-D analysis method coupled with an external circuit with motion equation for dynamic transient analysis of induction machines. In this method, the magneto-motive force (MMF) generated by induced current is modeled as a passive source in the magnetic equivalent network. So, by using only scalar potential at each node, the method is able to analyze induction machines with faster computation time and less memory requirement than conventional numerical methods. Also, this method is capable of modeling the movement of the mover without the need for re-meshing and analyzing the time harmonics for dynamic characteristics. From comparisons between the results of the analysis and the experiments, it is verified that the proposed method is capable of estimating the torque, harmonic field, etc. as a function of time with superior accuracy.

This paper describes the design of a 2-phase stepping motor driver using CPLD(Complex Programmable Logic Device). The driver IC such as L297 (SGS-Thomson Microelectronics), which is mostly used has some problems in PWM control because of the switching noise of power MOSFETs. It causes current ripple and acoustic noise. To improve theses characteristics, we proposed a new current control method that the output PWM frequency is almost constant using a digital filter. Also we proposed constant current method for 1-2 phase(half step) excitation. The proposed method is implemented with CPLD(Xilinx, XC9572-PC44). Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

2D analysis is impossible for Hybrid stepping motor(HSM) and 3D analysis is necessary because the permanent magnet is magnetized to the axial direction. In this paper, the characteristics of HSM are analyzed by using 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network method(3D EMCNM). In addition, the trapezoidal element is introduced for the exact permeance calculation in the complex shape machinery such as HSM. The magnetic saturation of core is considered.

In this paper, a design method of speed and position estimator based on unscented Kalman filter is proposed for the no sensor control of IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). The proposed method is simple more than the estimator designed with rotation axis for current measurement. Also the proposed state estimator is designed including nonlinear terms of the estimator. The controller which constructed using nonlinear back-stepping control method is operated speed and current control using the estimated speed and currents information. Through simulation, the performance of the designed estimator is compared to the estimator which is designed to synchronize d-q axis.

This research investigates the electromechanical characteristics of a sing1e-phase squirrel cage induction motor due to broken rotor bars and rotor eccentricity. Numerical analysis is performed by solving the nonlinear time-stepping finite element equation coupled with the magnetic field equation, circuit equation and mechanical equation of motion. It shows that the asymmetry of magnetic flux due to the broken rotor bars and rotor eccentricity introduce a change in the stator current, torque, speed, magnetic force and vibration of a rotor at the same time. However, even in the existence of rotor eccentricity, 3 broken rotor bar introduces a dominant change in the magnetic force and rotor displacement, i.e., beating phenomenon in time domain and sideband frequencies in frequency spectra, respectively.

An automatic drum seeder was developed to improve the seeding operation. It consisted of a conveyor to transfer seedling trays, a seed-hopper to supply seeds, a drum to drop seeds on the tray, and an air blower to remove extra seeds. A photo sensor was used to detect the transfer of seedling trays, and its signal was fed into microcomputer which operated a stepping motor driving the drum. The seeds were adhered to the surface of drum by vacuum pressure, and were dropped into tray cells by compressed air. An air connection unit was devised to alternate between vacuum pressure and compressed air. A control program for the system, written in C language, could operate the drum at the given number of revolutions and revolutions per minute. The results showed that the air connection unit could operate well and the seeds were dropped satisfactorily into tray cells. In case of cabbage and perilla seeds, which are regular and spherical shape, the missing rate was low and the single seeding rate was more than 97%. Low missing rate and high multiple seeding rate were observed in lettuce seeds which have narrow ends with tight weight. The missing rate of pepper seed was very high because of heavy weight and irregular shape. To improve the performance of the seeder, adjustment of vacuum pressure based upon shape and weight of the seeds, careful selection of the material of drum, maintenance of consistent air blower pressure, and replacement of stepping motor to DC motor are recommended.

A novel sensing system for standing and moving human body using PIR(pyroelectric infrared) sensor was development. The system consists of power supply, interface circuit of PIR sensor, small stepping motor, and digital control. The detecting principle for stop human body is detecting the human body when the stepping motor sticking the PIR sensor and the fresnel lens has rotated by 180 degree at six second and has stopped the motor for no detecting signal of human body. We developed control algorism for proposed the detection system. The experimentation shows that the detector system had detected length and angle were 6m and 30 degree against as standing and moving human body with $37^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we implemented LED beam forming communication system controlled by stepping motor. ATMega1284 was used as a MCU of main control board which has two main external IO, one is RS232 for connection with PC, the other is PORT for connection with motor driving board. Stepping motor rotated 360 degree when provided 160 clock and its rotation radius was increased by Archimedian Spiral. So LED can provide its light anywhere in the space and its beam forming was controlled by PC connected with RS232 of main control board. The action of beam forming was verified via actual HW/SW implementation.
