In the past, many prior transformer core reset methods have been proposed in order to avoid the transformer saturation, such as tertiary transformer winding, RCD clamp, resonant reset, active clamp and two-switch forward topology etc.. However, the lower efficiency, complicated transformer winding structure and the cost of too many added elements are the main drawbacks. In this paper, a novel demagnetization scheme for single-ended forward converter is presented. The proposed demagnetization circuit is very simple and the transformer demagnetization can be reached by adding two diodes and a clamping capacitor. In addition, the transformer design and PWM control circuit for the single-ended forward converter with proposed demagnetization circuit is the same as conventional forward converter. Finally, the operation and circuit performance of the single-ended forward converter with proposed demagnetization circuit are demonstrated with an experimental prototype that delivers a 5 V/10 A output from a 36-72 V input at the maximum efficiency of 88%.","PeriodicalId":199609,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2007 - 33rd Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"5 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127010104","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 robot has 6 DOF in the single support phase and four actuators. In addition to the reduced number of actuators, the interest of studying robots with point feet is that the feedback control solution must exploit the robot's natural dynamics in order to achieve balance while walking. We use an extension of the method of virtual constraints, a very successful method for planar bipeds, in order to simultaneously compute a periodic orbit and an autonomous feedback controller that realizes the orbit, for a 3D (spatial) bipedal walking robot. This method allows the computations for the controller design and the periodic orbit to be carried out on a 2-DOF subsystem of the 6-DOF robot model. The linearization of the Poincare map of the closed-loop system proves that the achieved periodic walking motion, at a speed of approximately one and a half body lengths per second, is exponentially stable.","PeriodicalId":199609,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2007 - 33rd Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126217658","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 control scheme for the interleaved multiphase buck converter employs feedback signals of output voltage, output current, and per-phase inductor current. By using a synchronous over-sampling technique for the detection per-phase inductor current and double-edge PWM modulation technique, the current response can reach a dead- beat performance for step current command.

A 3D object database using similarity-based aspect-graph is built from 2D images sampled at random intervals from the viewing sphere. Contour and color features of each 2D image are used for modeling the 3D object database. To conduct tracking, a suitable object model is selected from the database and the mean-shift tracking is applied to find the local minima of a similarity measure between the color histograms of the object model and the target image.

Implementation of vector control to achieve position, speed, and force control in linear induction machines has been a focal area of research for the past decade. However, due to the trailing eddy current effects and magnetic asymmetry effects, vector control can not provide the perfect functionality for LIM as it does for rotary induction machines (RIM). Furthermore, the vector control schemes are relatively complicated. Therefore, searching for an adequate control scheme with ease in implementation and low cost is the motivation of this paper. Using finite element analysis (FEA) the relationship between traction force and different ranges of linear speed and excitation frequencies in motoring, generating, and electromagnetic braking regions has been found. By storing these characteristics in the form of lookup tables which provides excitation frequencies resulting in maximum accelerating and decelerating forces, a closed-loop control scheme incorporating position, speed, and force controls with fast response has been proposed.","PeriodicalId":199609,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2007 - 33rd Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114336498","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}
