Background: Brushless DC motors are highly efficient motors due to its high torque to weight ratio, compact design, high speed operating capability and higher power density. Conventional Hall sensor based rotor position sensing is affected by the heating, vibration, interference and noise. Objective: The innovative, cost effective and easily implementable sensorless techniques are essential in order to achieve high efficiency, reduced current and reduced torque pulsations. Further, a delay free, high load fast startup is also important issue. Methods: In this paper an extensive review of various techniques based on the detection of freewheeling diode current, phase back EMF zero crossoing point detection, back EMF integration method and third harmonic back EMF was done. The study and effect of various PWM strategies on back EMF detection was studied. Later on the sensorless schemes based on flux linkage estimation and flux linkage increment were introduced. The load torque observers, unknown input observers, sliding mode observers, L∞-induced observers, H ∞ - deconvolution filter for back EMF estimation were also reviewed. As the brushless DC motors have no back EMF at starting and for back EMF based commutation a minimum speed is required for sufficient back EMF. Therefore various strategies of open and close-loop reduced current startup have been studied to achieve effective commutation without reverse torque. Initial position detection (IPD) schemes, which are mostly based on saliency and current response to inductance variation, is effective where reverse torque is strictly prohibited. A detailed review of these initial position detection techniques (IPD) has also been presented. Results: The detailed mathematical and graphical analysis has been presented here in order to understand the working of the state-of-art sensorless techniques. Conclusion: The back EMF detection using direct and indirect methods of terminal voltage filtering have the problem of delay and attenuation, PWM noise, freewheeling diode spikes and disturbance in detected back EMFs is a drawback. The parameter detuning, underestimation and overestimation, offset problem, system noise and observer gain variation etc. limit the applicability of observer based technique. Therefore, a more robust and precise position estimation scheme is essential.

The behavior of nanoparticles under nanofluidic confinement depends strongly on their distance to the confining walls; however, a measurement in which the gap distance is varied is challenging. Here, we present a versatile setup for investigating the behavior of nanoparticles as a function of the gap distance, which is controlled to the nanometer. The setup is designed as an open system that operates with a small amount of dispersion of ≈20 μL, permits the use of coated and patterned samples and allows high-numerical-aperture microscopy access. Using the tool, we measure the vertical position (termed height) and the lateral diffusion of 60 nm, charged, Au nanospheres as a function of confinement between a glass surface and a polymer surface. Interferometric scattering detection provides an effective particle illumination time of less than 30 μs, which results in lateral and vertical position detection accuracy ≈10 nm for diffusing particles. We found the height of the particles to be consistently above that of the gap center, corresponding to a higher charge on the polymer substrate. In terms of diffusion, we found a strong monotonic decay of the diffusion constant with decreasing gap distance. This result cannot be explained by hydrodynamic effects, including the asymmetric vertical position of the particles in the gap. Instead we attribute it to an electroviscous effect. For strong confinement of less than 120 nm gap distance, we detect the onset of subdiffusion, which can be correlated to the motion of the particles along high-gap-distance paths.

Quick Response QR barcode detection in nonarbitrary environment is still a challenging task despite many existing applications for finding 2D symbols. The main disadvantage of recent applications for QR code detection is a low performance for rotated and distorted single or multiple symbols in images with variable illumination and presence of noise. In this paper, a particular solution for QR code detection in uncontrolled environments is presented. The proposal consists in recognizing geometrical features of QR code using a binary large object- (BLOB-) based algorithm with subsequent iterative filtering QR symbol position detection patterns that do not require complex processing and training of classifiers frequently used for these purposes. The high precision and speed are achieved by adaptive threshold binarization of integral images. In contrast to well-known scanners, which fail to detect QR code with medium to strong blurring, significant nonuniform illumination, considerable symbol deformations, and noising, the proposed technique provides high recognition rate of 80%–100% with a speed compatible to real-time applications. In particular, speed varies from 200 ms to 800 ms per single or multiple QR code detected simultaneously in images with resolution from 640 × 480 to 4080 × 2720, respectively.
