Three regulators, denoted ACR, DCR and DCB, are designed for the instantaneous voltage feedback, the averaged voltage feedback and cancelling the DC bias current in the isolation transformer, respectively. Finally, the proposed control configuration is verified both by simulation and experimental results in a SIMNON based computer program and a laboratory prototype system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124432193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed H-soft-switched cell provides constant-frequency lossless switching. The H-soft-switching cell may be regarded as a switch whose control circuit is the same as the ones used in conventional PWM power converters. The voltage stresses of the switching elements are the same as the ones of the conventional PWM converters and the current stress of the switching elements can be designed a little greater than the ones of the conventional hard-switched PWM converters. Moreover, an average method for steady state analysis is proposed in this paper. An equivalent effective duty is submitted for simplifying the output voltage. Experimental results of an H-soft-switched buck converter are presented for verifying the proposed topologies and the analytical methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123181595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All too often the focus of improvement excludes the opportunity for the application to make an impact on performance. In this study we provide a facility where the application characteristics can be employed in formulating a distributed solution. The specific problem being considered is remote file services, although the general ideas can be applied to other areas. Our file system permits the application to indicate the type of caching and transfer strategies most suitable for each remote file access instance: depending on the application will effect the load realized on the network. Earlier work provided techniques to characterize application behavior through simple profiles. This profile data can be employed in selecting what kind of caching and transfer strategies would be most suitable to minimize traffic on the network. We describe the architecture of our file system. We show how the system provides for efficient network performance by realization of reduced traffic on the network for each application. This application data approach will always provide better performance than any random based model design.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121275236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An adaptive weighting function is used to implement multi-phase strategies of control. In the initial phase, a rapid transient strategy is used and in the final phase, it is switched to a maximum accuracy strategy. It can ameliorate the deficiencies of using only a single look up table. The proposed controller is simple to design and can be implemented cost effectively for both linear and non-linear systems in real time or time critical applications. The design has emphasized on the robustness, fast transient and steady state response with consideration in non-linear system. A well known robot manipulator model is used as an example and simulation results demonstrated that the proposed controller can track the states on the desired switching hyperplane accurately and without any overshoot.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121347859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A variable-voltage variable-frequency (VVVF) inverter drive, which applies a large-capacity gate turn-off (GTO) thyristor and a high voltage insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) have been developed to attain higher speed, lighter weight and lower level of noise of transportation systems such as rolling stock, elevators and electric vehicles. In view of the above-mentioned needs, Hitachi has propelled research and development not only to improve individual component devices employing sophisticated power electronics and microcomputer technology, but also to maximize the performance and minimize the size, weight, and level of noise of conventional transportation controllers. In transportation systems, the inverter control is already becoming mainstream. In this light, Hitachi has tackled the development of large-capacity GTO thyristors, high voltage IGBTs, GTO and IGBT drive technology, cooling technology and installation technology. This paper describes Hitachi's role in the area of power electronics for transportation. Especially, new systems of rolling stock are explained.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124977519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of linking edge detection results into segment-like structures, we embed curve detection into an edge detection process. The method consists of two major steps, namely, (1) formation of curve-associated region for each curve and (2) curve extraction from each curve-associated region. A curve-associated region is an extended area surrounding a curve where associated intensity variations of the curve are preserved. Gradient orientation is the main attribute used to group pixels into curve-associated regions. The intensity structure of each curve-associated region is then analyzed to locate the curve. This method appears to be a viable approach to complement edge detection techniques because of the utilization of concepts, such as, (1) use of gradient orientation, (2) integration of local information over space, and (3) analysis of global intensity structure of each curve.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126652126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
