AC servo motor drives, Fara DS series, proposed in this paper can be effectively used in robots, CNC machine tools, and FA system with AC servo motors as actuators. The inverter of the AC servo drive consists of IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) which have high switching frequency. Noises and vibrations generated in variable speed control of AC servo motors can be greatly reduced due to their high switching frequencies. In the developed servo drive, maximum torque is always generated in the whole speed range by compensating phase shift, which results from the nonlinearies of the AC servo motor during abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Abundant protection functions are provided to prevent abnormal state of the servo motor, and furthermore diverse user options are considered provided for the effective application. The proposed AC servo motor drive is designed to minimize velocity variation with respect to external load, supply voltage, environmental temperature, and humidity, so can be widely used in the fields of factory automation including robots and CNC msachine tools.

Bistable chiral splay nematic liquid crystal display (BCSN LCD) is a memory type liquid crystal display using splay and $-\pi$ twist states as two stable states. When the cell thickness to pitch (d/p) ratio is 0.25, splay and $-\pi$ twist states have permanent memory time. However, when the transition from $-\pi$ twist state to splay state is caused by a fringe field, pixel regions show that the splay state is not perfect, but rather includes a contribution from the $-\pi$ twist state. In this paper, we propose a reflective BCSN LCD using $-\pi$ twist state in which the two stable states do not coexist. The fabricated reflective BCSN LC cell shows a high contrast ratio of over 30:1 and response times of 950 ms and 450 ms in vertical and fringe field switching, respectively. The proposed cell also shows wide viewing angle characteristics of $180^{\circ}$ in left- and right directions.

In a switching node or an ATM multiplexer of the ATM network, a good bandwidth utilization can be achieved by the priority control using the 1-bit(Cell Loss priority) in ATM cell header. In this paper, the mixed mechanism is proposed to make up for shortcomings of existing space priority control mechanisms and to decrease the loss probability of high priority cell and its performance is analyzed about the cell loss probability. To estimate the performance of proposed mixed mechanism, its cell loss probability is compared with those of non-priority mechanism, push-out mechanism and partial buffer sharing mechanism. The cell loss probability is analyzed using a M/D/1/N modeling and a 2-state MMPP/D/1/N modeling and also comparison between two modelings is made. To verify this result of numerical analysis, the computer simulation is performed for each mechanism using the simulation language, SIMSRIPT II.5.

In this paper, we propose a sub-10 nm Ge/GaAs heterojunction-based tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) with vertical band-to-band tunneling (BBT) operation for ultra-low-power (LP) applications. We design a stack structure that is based on the Ge/GaAs heterojunction to realize the vertical BBT operation. The use of vertical BBT operations in devices results in excellent subthreshold characteristics with a reduction in the drain-induced barrier thinning (DIBT) phenomenon. The proposed device with a channel length ($L_{ch}$) of 5 nm exhibits outstanding LP performance with a subthreshold swing (S) of 29.1 mV/dec and an off-state current ($I_{off}$) of $1.12{\times}10^{-11}A/{\mu}m$. In addition, the use of the highk spacer dielectric $HfO_2$ improves the on-state current ($I_{on}$) with an intrinsic delay time (${\tau}$) because of a higher fringing field. We demonstrate a sub-10 nm LP switching device that realizes a good S and lower $I_{off}$ at a lower supply voltage ($V_{DD}$) of 0.2 V.

In this paper, we proposed the novel IGBT with an additional n-type MOS structure to achieve the improved trade-off between turn-off and on-state voltage drop(Vce(sat)). These low on-resistance and the fast switching characteristics of the proposed IGBT are caused by an enhanced electron current injection efficiency which is caused by additional n-type MOS structure. In the simulation result, the proposed IGBT has the lower on state voltage of 2.65V and the shorter turn-off time of 4.5us than those of the conventional IGBT(3.33V, 5us).

Sliding mode control, as a typical method of variable structure control, has the robust characteristics for the uncertainty and the disturbance of the nonlinear system. Because, however, sliding mode control input includes a sign function that Is discontinuous on the predefined switching surface, its applications are primarily limited by the need of alleviation or reduction of chattering. In this paper, we propose a chattering alleviation strategy based on a special nonlinear function and a fuzzy system. By using the proposed control scheme, we can reduce the steady state error. Its tracking performance is as fast as that of conventional method using the fixed boundary layer. Especially, in the proposed method, we can adjust the trade-off between the steady state error and the degree of chattering by regulating the proper range of the output variable of the fuzzy system. To verify the validity of the proposed algorithm, the analysis of the control method using the fixed boundary layer and the computer simulations are shown to compare with them.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), which has the highest stability in conducting polymer was employed to electrochromic (EC) film and studied about electrochromic properties according to the film fabrication method. PEDOT films were coated by two different methods, electropolymerization (EP) and vapor phase polymerization (VPP). Both of PEDOT films showed dark blue color at dedoped neutral state. Spectroelectrochemistry, switching ability and stability of the devices were investigated by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and Cyclic voltammetry. Surface morphologies of the PEDOT VPP film at oxidized and reduced state were obtained by AFM. The average surface roughness of the PEDOT-VPP film was 50 nm and more homogeneous than that of the PEDOT-EP. The EC property from the PEDOT-VPP film was improved compared to that of the PEDOT-EP film, to show a response time of 1.5 sec, transmittancechange of 49%, and coloration efficiency of 402.

Conducting PPy/PVA composite and pure PPy gas sensors were prepared by in-situ vaporstate polymerization method in a vaporization chamber under N2 condition, by exposing the pre-coated electrode with PVA/FeC13 to distilled pyrrole monomer. The various electrical sensing behaviors of both types of sensors were systematically investigated by a flow measuring system including mass flow controller (MFC) and bubbling bottle. The FT-Raman spectroscopy of vapor state polymerized PPy was identical to that of chemically polymerized PPy, confirming the same chemical structure. Both types of sensors had positive sensitivity when exposed to methanol gas. The sensitivity varied linearly with gas concentration in the range of 50ppm to 1059ppm. The detection limit of PPy/PVA sensor was believed to be as low as 10ppm. The sensitivity of PPy/PVA composite sensor was higher than that of pure PPy sensor. Both the response time and recovery time of PPy/PVA composite sensors were longer than those of pure PPy sensors. The thickness of the sensing film affected the sensitivity this way that the sensor having thinner film had higher sensitivity, indicating that the resistance of polymer film involved in the sensing behavior was bulk resistance rather than surface resistance. The reproducibility of PPy/PVA composite sensor was excellent during eight on-off cycles by switching between N2 and 3000ppm methanol gas. The sensitivity of PPy/PVA composite sensor was only maintained for two weeks, while the sensitivity of pure PPy sensor was maintained over two months.

This article explores the speed regulation problem of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems subjected to unknown time-varying disturbances. A continuous sliding mode control (CSMC) technique is introduced for the speed loop to enhance the robustness of PMSM systems and eliminate the chattering phenomenon caused by high-frequency switch function in the conventional control law. However, the high control gain of the CSMC law in the presence of strong disturbances leads to large steady-state speed fluctuations for PMSM systems. In many application fields, PMSM systems are affected by time-varying disturbances instead of constant disturbances. For example, electric bicycles are usually affected by changing environmental disturbances, including wind speeds, road conditions, etc. These disturbances may be in the form of constant, ramp, and parabolic disturbances. Hence, a generalized proportional integral (GPI) observer is employed to estimate these types of disturbances. Then, the disturbance estimation method and the aforementioned CSMC method are combined to establish a composite sliding mode control method called the CSMC+GPI method for the speed loop of PMSM systems. Contrary to the conventional sliding mode control technique, the proposed method completely eliminates the chattering phenomenon caused by the switching function in the conventional control law. Moreover, a small control gain for the CSMC+GPI method is chosen by feed-forwarding estimated values to the speed controller. Hence, the steady-state speed fluctuations are small. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by simulation and experimental result.

This paper presents the high performance control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) using space vector(SV) PWM method based on hybrid artificial intelligent(HAI) controller. The HAI controller combines the advantages between adaptive fuzzy control and neural network The SV PWM method is applied to a speed control system of motor in the industry field until now and is feasible to improve harmonic rate of output current, switching frequency and response characteristics. This HAI controller is used instead of conventional PI controller in order to solve problems happening when calculating a reference voltage. The HAI controller improves speed performance by hybrid combination of reference model-based adaptive mechanism method, fuzzy control and neural network. This paper analyzes response characteristics of parameter variation, steady-state and transient-state using proposed HAI controller and this controller compares with conventional fuzzy neural network(FNN) and PI controller. Also, this paper proves validity of HAI controller.
