The current consumption and the heat produced in the printhead of thermal printer are mainly governed by total printing dots and printing time for each line. Simple algorithm is proposed to optimize the performance of a thermal printhead, which use variable division according to bit-mapped data of its 1 line. And, for protecting the thermal printhead from exceeding heat, I control the heat energy of each microheater(dots) on the thermal printhead through changes in the applied pulse width.

This paper introduces a method for design and implementation of a current controller for boost converter operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) using a digital signal processor (DSP). A Proportional-Integral (PI) type current controller outputs an average voltage command for inductor, used in the input side of the boost converter, and the duty-ratio of PWM (pulse width modulation) signal for switching device is directly calculated from the average voltage command. The gains of the PI current controller are selected such that the current response characteristics are the same as those of a first-order low-pass filter. The proposed current control scheme is implemented using a DSP based on fixed-point math operations and an experimental study has been performed to validate the proposed method.

Digital signal processors(DSP) are widely used in modern power conversion devices, ac motor drives. However, generating pulse-width modulation(PWM) gating signals requires so high sampling rates that most computation resources of the DSP must be devoted to generating them. This paper presents an ASIC realization of 2 channel space-vector PWM(SVPWM). The developed DSP(ECLDSP) board can transmit gating signals to 2 converter/inverter and control them. ECLDSP board is used for control the various kinds of power-quality improvement systems.

We have developed a vision based crack detection system and algorithm to inspect base side of bridges. After human operator decides from vision images captured if lines on base side are cracks or dirt, our algorithm finds automatically the length, the width and the shape of cracks. The system has been tested with a robot extender on a truck in real environment and has been proved to be very useful to reduce inspection cost as well as the data management.

An unconstrained tuning fork with a 3-D model has been numerically analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM) and Boundary Element Method (BEM). The first three natural frequencies were calculated by the FEM modal analysis. Then the trend of the change of the modal frequencies was examined with the variation of the tuning fork length and width. An formula for the natural frequencies-tuning fork length relationship were derived from the numerical analysis results. Finally the BEM was used for the sound pressure field calculation from the structural displacement data.

The windup phenomenon appears and results in performance degradation such as large overshoot, slow settling time when the integral-proportional (IP) controller output is saturated. An anti-windup IP controller is proposed to improve the control performance for the motor drives. The proposed algorithm is applied to the current control of a vector-controlled induction motor driven by a pulse width modulated(PWM) voltage-source inverter. The integral state is separately controlled corresponding to whether the IP controller output is saturated or not. The experimental results show that the current response has much improved performance such as little overshoot and fast settling time.

DC and small-signal ac characteristics are examined for a pulse-width modulated (PWM) dc-dc buck-boost converter with a peak voltage modulation (PVM) feedforward control. Circuit model is used to derive an expression for the output voltage in terms of the input voltage and load resistance. Small-signal circuit model is used to derive the input-to-output voltage transfer function (audiosusceptibility).

There is a looper for the safety threading between stands in finishing mill. In this looper system, it is 2 inputs 2 outputs MIMO )Multi Input Multi Output) system, which has two inputs that are the angle of looper and the tension of Strip and has two outputs that are the torque of looper motor and the speed of Mill Motor. In tension controller of looper, it calculates the range of tension variation into the compensation value of speed and outputs to the speed controller of Mill Motor, so that it controls the tension of strip between stands. In this study, using this tension controller of looper, we adjust the establishment value of ...

In this study, a solid-state laser system adopting a new real time multi-discharge (RTMD) method in which three flashlamps are turned on consecutively was designed and fabricated to examine the pulse width and the pulse shape of the laser beams depending upon the changes in the lamp turn-on time. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on three flashlamps consecutively on a real-time basis with the aid of a PIC one-chip microprocessor, With this technique, the lamp turn-on delay time can be varied more diversely from 0 to 10 ms and the real-time control is possible with an external keyboard, enabling various pulse shapes. In addition, longer pulses can be more widely used for industrial processing and lots of medical purposes.

Recently, it is increased to apply sensorless drive for BLDC (Brushless DC) motor to household electrical appliances, especially in the refrigerators and air conditioners, to reduce the cost and the acoustic noise by the operation and to make their functions more comfortable for human beings. In this paper, low-cost sensorless drive for BLDC motor is implemented by random PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The experimental results show that the electromagnetic noise was reduced and the sound quality was improved by BLDC motor sensorless random PWM Control.
