Because of simple control algorithm and easy implementation, the conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial application. But, it is very difficult to find the optimal PI control gain. Therefore, in improperly tuned PI controller or parameter variation, to obtain optimal performance, the novel PI controller, which consist of conventional PI controller and 4-rule based fuzzy logic, are presented in this paper. The novel PI controller which exhibits a stabilizing effects on the closed-loop system, has good robustness regarding the improperly tuned PI controller or parameter variation. The simulations are performed to verify the capability of proposed control method on induction motor.

A direct torque control(DTC) based sensorless speed control system which employs a new closed loop flux observer is proposed. The flux observer takes an adaptive scheduling gains where motet speed is used as the scheduling variable. Adaptive nature comes from the fact that the estimated values of stator resistance and speed are included as observer parameters. The parameters of the PI controllers adopted in the adaptive law for the estimation of stator resistance and motor speed are determined by simple genetic algorithm. Simulation results in low speed region are given for comparison between proposed and conventional flux estimate scheme.

The VDC(Vehicle Dynamic Control) is a control system whose target is to improve stability of a vehicle under lateral motion. A lateral vehicle motion, especially on a slippery road, can lead to a hazardous situation, and the situation can even worsen by the driver`s inappropriate response. In this paper, two VDC systems, a fuzzy-based controller and an LQR-based controller have been developed. The controllers take as input the yaw rate and the sideslip angle of either body or rear wheel, and they yield the direct yaw moment signal by which the vehicle can gain stability during cornering. Simulations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the control system. The results indicated that the controllers can successfully improve vehicle stability under potentially dangerous driving conditions.

The main motivation of this research is to develop an intelligent control strategy for Activated Sludge Process(ASP). ASP is a complex and nonlinear dynamic system because of the characteristic of a wastewater, the change of an influent flow rate, weather conditions, and etc. The mathematical model of ASP also includes uncertainties which are ignored or not considered by process engineer or controller designer. The ASP is generally controlled by a PID controller that consists of fixed proportional, integral, and derivative gain values. The PID gains can be adjusted by the expert in the ASP. The ASP model based on Matlab$^{(R)}$5.3/Simulink$^{(R)}$3.0 is developed in this paper. Various control methods are applied to the ASP model and the control results are disscussed. Three control methods are designed and tested: conventional PID controller, fuzzy logic control approach to modify setpoints, and fuzzy-PID control method.

This paper presents a mathod of reducing hunting size or steady state error occurred in the output signals via regulating the PID controllers gains. The PID controllers are widely used in industrial processes. Such processes have several inherent features like continuous operation, fixed set value, and difficulty in applyirty test signals. Thus, this paper suggests fuzzy rules of reducing hunting magnitude or steady state error using output signals only. Such an intelligent tuning technique utilizes both the experts, experience and control engineers' theortical background. For two kinds of systems such as temperature or DC motors speed control, we showed the validity of proposed method in this paper.

Design and experimental results of yaw rate controller is described for electricallydriven four wheel vehicle without steering mechanism. Yaw rate controller has been known to be necessary to cope with nonlinear char-acteristics of the wheel/road conditions with respect to different road condition and steering angle. For an effective yaw rate control, a fuzzy PID gain scheduler is considered with changing control parameters. In order to apply proposed algorithm to the system a downsized four wheel drive electrically driven vehicle without steering mechanism was manufactured. With these techniques the proposed yaw rate controller is shown by experiment results to be obtained suficient performance in the whole steering regions.

To gain competitive advantage in a fast changing environment, the higher education institution (HEI) must continuously adjust the strategies to that environment. One important strategy is how to determine appropriate practical actions based on what students really need and want. Despite the abundance of research on service quality management, there is no universal consensus on how best to determine appropriate practical actions in HEIs. The aim of this paper is to develop an integrated model to be used to accurately acquire the most critical service attributes and determine appropriate actions that promote student satisfaction. Drawing on relevant literature, an integrated model is proposed which is based on students' perspective by integrating the fuzzy SERVQUAL, refined Kano, and Blue Ocean model. Subsequently, an empirical case study in the higher education sector is described that illustrates the value of the model in determining the most critical attributes and how to improve them.

In this paper, the hybrid-type current controller for inverter TIG systems was implemented and it was shown that the low-current pulse wave forms with high dynamic performance could be obtained. It is not sri easy to obtain the optimum gain tuning of PID controllers in digital PWM control methods. Hybrid control methods which uses automatic tuning techniques after adding fuzzy control methods to traditional PID controllers are chosen to improve the dynamic performance of PID controller's. To demonstrate the practical significance and dynamic performance improvement of the results, some simulation and experimental results are presented.

A new intelligent adaptive control scheme was proposed that combines observer disturbance-based adaptive control and fuzzy adaptive control for a composite structure with a mass-adjustable damper. The most important advantage is that the control structures do not need to know the uncertainty limits and the interference effect is eliminated. Three adjustable parameters in LMI are used to control the gain of the 2D fuzzy control. Binary performance indices with weighted matrices are constructed to separately evaluate validation and training performance using the revalidation learning function. Determining the appropriate weight matrix balances control and learning efficiency and prevents large gains in control. It is proved that the stability of the control system can be ensured by a linear matrix theory of equality based on Lyapunov's theory. Simulation results show that the multilevel simulation approach combines accuracy with high computational efficiency. The M-TMD system, by slightly reducing critical joint load amplitudes, can significantly improve the overall response of an uncontrolled structure.

This paper proposes how to tune the gains of PI controllers in case of gain change in a process control system. Controllers of PI type have been used in industry and the gains of the controllers have been tuned by expert engineers. It, therefore, takes much time and efforts to tune the controllers. It is more difficult to find gains of multi-loop processes. The tuning method of a fuzzy tuner in this paper is developed based on the assumptions that the PI controllers are of analog type and are tuned off-line, and that the characteristic values must be supplied for the tuner. A Tuner using Fuzzy Logic(FLT1 is capable of showing presentlpast states of a process control system and finding gains of PI controllers. The verfication of the FLT is shown by various experiments.
