This paper proposes an open-switch fault tolerant strategy based on the model predictive control for a full bidirectional switches indirect matrix converter (FBS-IMC). Compared to the conventional Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC), the FBS-IMC can provide healthy current path when open-switch fault is occurred. To keep the continuous operation, the fault tolerant strategy is developed by means of reversing the DC-link voltage polarity regardless of the faulty switch location in the rectifier or inverter stage. Therefore, the proposed control strategy can maintain the same input and output performances during the faulty condition as the normal condition. The simulation results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

In this paper, a new current control algorithm is proposed for four-switch three-phase brushless DC(BLU) motor drives, which are suitable for low cost applications. A current reference generation scheme is developed and Implemented to obtain high performance characteristics in the four-switch system, such as small torque ripple and fast dynamic speed/torque response. Moreover, the proposed scheme can successful1y eliminate the torque ripple during commutations, so that it can be expected that the four-switch system can be much more practically applied for the industrial application areas.

Recently, a ZVT boost converter is embedded in a power factor correction system. The control circuit of the converter assures soft-switching for all the MOSFETs and load regulation. The PFC system contains additional control circuits which assure the input voltage in a sinusoidal form and feed-forward line voltage regulation. In this paper, a soft switching boost converter with zero-voltage transition(ZVT) main switch using zero-current switching(ZCS) auxiliary switch is proposed. Operating intervals of the converter are persented and analyzed. The proposed results show that the main switch maintains UT while auxiliary switch retains ZCS for the complete specified line and load conditions.

This paper proposes a new voltage reference generation method for Four-Switch Inverters(FSI) with compensation of the neutral DC-link voltage variation. Since FSIs have the split DC-link causing the inherent problem of voltage fluctuations in the upper and lower capacitors, it is required to take account the voltage difference between the top and bottom capacitors. In this paper, to reduce the effect by the voltage variation, reference voltages are modified by adding compensation voltages proportional to the voltage difference between upper and lower capacitors. Simulation results showing control performance of induction and permanent magnet motors demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

Communicating devices for the seriously disabled using eye-ball movement or some body movement are proposed. The first one is a device to use image processing, whose input signal is eyeball movement, A feature of this device is that the device can be readily realized using a note-book computer with USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface bus. This device is incorporated with a word processing software called Nearly Ladder. The second one is an emergency call switch which is used by a patient who can move his finger slightly. The patients can switch on the emergency switch only by touching a switch with his finger. The essence of this sensor is a touch sensor. The sensor can be realized using onl...

In this paper, we proposed the Z-source four-switch three-phase rectifier. As we know, the conventional Four-Switch Three-Phase Rectifier(FSTPR) has advantages of the lower cost and less complex switching control. However, The conventional FSTPR can only either perform buck or boost operation, it can only attain the buck-boost operation by adding another DC-DC converter. In addition, besides its narrow output voltage region, distortion of the input current is serious either. Thus, we proposed the Z-source FSTPR which has buck-boost function and better input current waveform by applying the Z-impedance network to the conventional FSTPR. The validity of the proposed system was confirmed by experiments.

Generally, previous converter is divided into two categories to get high power factor and good output regulation. These two categories can be combined a category with a main switch. These converter is called Single Stage PFC Converter. This approach has good electrical characteristics of high power factor and fast output voltage regulation. The cost and size are important factor to design the converter in low power system. Even single stage can reduce the size and cost, but this approach needs to have additional circuit like control, PWM circuit. To improve these demerits, Top switch is one of good choice In reduce and size in low power single stage converter. Because it has the ability of current limit, thermal protection, oscillator, control circuit as well as a main switch ability.

Inherent speed-torque performance of Switched Reluctance Motor is similar to that of series wound DC motor. Thus, the speed of the motor is extremely regulated according to load torque. For the purpose of controlling the speed and torque of SRM it is necessary to change the applied DC link voltage or the switch-ON and switch-OFF angles which control the phase current of the motor. This paper describes speed-torque characteristics of an integral horse power Switched Reluctance Motor by adjusting the switch-ON and switch-OFF angles. Speed at rated load torque can be regulated by adjusting the switching angles and the control scheme is applied to 2kW, 3 phase, 6/4 SRM.

We report a nickel optical MEMS switch, being able to rotate through a large angle and to accommodate multiple channels. The proposed optical switch consists of a thin nickel mirror and two torsion springs supporting the mirror. The torsion springs are designed using a finite element method (FEM) such that plastic deformation of the thin nickel is avoided during the large torsion actuation. For switching speed improvement, transient vibration of the released mirror is suppressed by optimizing the mirror design and a fast switching response of $200\;{\mu}s\;(pull-down)/300\;{\mu}s\;(pull-up)$ is demonstrated.

Most of access control systems for underground utility tunnel work through wired network between central system and the automatic switch control unit. However, there are several issues regarding the absence of network infrastructure and an outdoor reader in a relatively unique environment. To solve these issues we propose an authenticated key based smart phone control system for secure access to the underground utility tunnel and this scheme is anticipated providing us with crucial information about a systemic entrance history and effective management procedures of utility tunnel. In addition, the proposed scheme enables to access to secured control system in smart phone based bluetooth network and it provides information about systemic control and history management for the switch controls through smart phone applications.
