Abstract This paper presents several methods that enable the reduction of power loss in the auxiliary resonant commutated pole inverter - ARCP. Presented methods can be divided into static and dynamic ones. The static methods are related to an appropriate design of the inverter, whereas dynamic ones to advanced control of the power transistors. A variety of design and control methods are presented together with their advantages and disadvantages. The new control method of the current in the resonant branch is described. The main benefits of the proposed extended control method and their constrains are shown

SUMMARYIn this study, modelling and control of a two-link robot manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second one is flexible is considered for both land and underwater conditions. Governing equations of the systems are derived from Hamilton's Principle and differential eigenvalue problem. A computer program is developed to solve non-linear ordinary differential equations defining the system dynamics by using Runge–Kutta algorithm. The response of the system is evaluated and compared by applying classical control methods; proportional control and proportional + derivative (PD) control and an intelligent technique; integral augmented fuzzy control method. Modelling of drag torques applied to the manipulators moving horizontally under the water is presented. The study confirmed the success of the proposed integral augmented fuzzy control laws as well as classical control methods to drive flexible robots in a wide range of working envelope without overshoot compared to the classical controls.

Introduction: Family planning importance is increasing progressively and is regarded as an essential part in every couple’s life. Family planning has a lot of benefits for the whole family as it provides a better control over the period between each pregnancy leading to a better balance over the personal, financial, and societal life. There are multiple birth control methods, from which couples can choose from with the assistance of their physicians since each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, some contraceptive methods may be more suited for a certain couple or situation than another one. This review of current methods aims to shed the lights on the various contraception options along with their advantages and disadvantages to aid providers in taking care of their patients. Methodology: A thorough search was carried out on PubMed using the most suitable keywords representing the aim of the present study. A total of 120 were found and based on whether they are suited to achieve the aim of the study, 28 were selected. Discussion: There is a great variety of birth control methods, and each has its associated advantages and disadvantages. Barrier contraceptive methods, most common of which are male condoms, are extremely popular in Western countries. Combined hormonal contraception methods which are available in the form of pills, patches, and rings. Progestin only contraception either in the form of a pill, injection or an implant is the most commonly used type among breastfeeding women. Furthermore, intrauterine devices are another effective contraceptive method which may be copper-based or hormonal-based. Conclusion: Contraception is an integral part of family planning, which can be achieved through a variety of methods. Each birth control method has its own pros and cons that should be explained to the couple clearly, so they can choose the method that is most suited for them.

Cranes provide an excellent platform for teaching advanced controls. They have a simple pendulum-type oscillation that is useful for demonstrating basic control methods. However, cranes also have additional dynamic effects such as motor dynamics, velocity limits, and nonlinear slewing dynamics that make them well suited for advanced study. If the cranes are made remotely operable, then students can also study tele-operation and control of systems with time delays. An advanced control design course taught at the Georgia Institute of Technology has integrated tele-operated cranes into both the lecture and laboratory exercises. The laboratories lead the students through the use of two tele-operated cranes. The lab component of the course culminates with a five-week team project in which the students design and implement their own research project on the cranes. The primary goal of using the cranes is to provide hands-on experiences in implementing advanced controllers on real systems. This paper describes the cranes and the complementary curriculum.

Typically, the distortion from welding is mitigated with the use of fixtures, clamps, tack welds and so on. Also the welding current and traveling speed are normally set constant during welding along a weld-path. The authors have developed and implemented an advanced control method that adaptively changes welding current and traveling speed depending on the state of deformation, in order to mitigate the final distortion without the use of additional hardware such as fixtures, clamps, and/or tack welds. It predicts the distortion before actual happening and adjusts parameters to counteract the deformation during welding. The present work implements this advanced method by applying an optimized, varying welding current and traveling speed on an edge-welded bar of Aluminum 5052-H32. A comparison is made between the final welding distortion with the new method, versus the regular method at constant welding current and traveling speed. A virtual predictive model was established to simulate and control the adaptive change of welding current and traveling speed, the optimized profile of the process parameters were performed by a robot, and the transient distortion was measured by state-of-the-art 3D photogrammetry cameras in real–time.

Intelligent control methods of missile guidance and control system (GACS) are studied in this paper. Secondly, the component and principle of GACS is introduced. Based on the fuzzy neural network, this paper constructs a basic structure of the intelligent control method of missile. Meanwhile, a new intelligent control method of rolling channel of missile based on Fuzzy Cerebella Model Articulation Controller (FCMAC) is designed. Under complicated environmental conditions, the missile can be accurately controlled with this method. Finally, the application value is illustrated. It’s very meaningful to improve the combat capability.

This paper presents some techniques for driving novel 5 phase dual winding PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) for the in-wheel motor. The motor realizes winding change over characteristics that can expand driving area from high-torque mode to high-speed mode due to the dual winding construction. However, the dual winding structure makes a high-current ripple due to high coupling between windings. The paper proposes some control methods to reduce the current ripple, including inverter career ripple. The paper also presents harmonics current injection, such as the 3rd harmonics current injection method, to reduce the torque ripple and generate higher torque.

<p>The paper describes a procedure using the first principle modelling and experimental identification of the Magnetic Levitation Model CE 152. It is a modified version of the paper [1]. The difference is that the identification and verification is done in open loop and constraints logic is added in the current paper. The author optimized and simplified dynamic model to a minimum to what is needed to characterize given system for the simulation and control design purposes. Only few open-loop experiments are needed to estimate the unknown parameters. Model quality is verified in open loop where the real and simulated data are compared. The model can serve as a simulation model for some standard control algorithms or as a process model for advanced control method design.</p>

When designing a vehicle, the most important variable that should be taken into account is the vehicle yaw rate, it represents an important indication of the vehicle’s stability and control. This paper aims to demonstrate how to simulate and control the yaw rate of a vehicle using two control methods, the first is the Linear Quadratic control method (LQR) and the other one is neural network control. The classical single-track model is prominently used for yaw stability control analysis. One driving conditions performed is the steering input; the steering input in this work is set as step steering angle and a lane change manoeuvre. Simulation results showed that both control methods used produced good and convergent performance results for the vehicle under different driving conditions.
