High speed cameras have the ability to detect luminance variation due to the alternating current of illuminations. On the basis of the luminance variation, this paper proposes a method to estimate an image of when one of the illuminations is nonluminous. If the nonluminous illumination is the source of specular reflection, the estimated image only includes diffuse reflection components of other illuminations. Experimental results in various conditions show that specular reflection components are eliminated without the displacement of a camera or an illumination.

A control scheme for quickly starting a portable X-ray generator used in the livestock industry is proposed in this paper. A portable X-ray generator used to take X-ray images of animals such as horses, sheep and dogs should be capable of starting quickly because it is difficult for veterinarians to take X-ray images of animals at their timing. In order to develop a scheme for starting the X-ray tube quickly, it is necessary to analysis the X-ray tube. However, such an analysis has not been discussed until now. First, the states of an X-ray tube are classified into the temperature-limited state and the space-charge-limited state. Furthermore, existence of "mixed state" that comprises both is newly proposed in this paper. From these analyses, a novel scheme for quickly starting an X-ray generator is proposed; this scheme is considered with the characteristics of the X-ray tube. The proposed X-ray system that is capable of starting quickly is evaluated on the basis of experimental results.

A suitable structure for small-capacity generator must be simple, robust, highly reliable and maintenance-free.The authors present an original brushless cylindrical-rotor type 4-pole three-phase synchronous generator without excitor. The stator is provided with a 4-pole three-phase main winding and a 2-pole single-phase exciting winding, and rotor field coils are connected with diodes, respectively, so as to make the same pole magnetic field as the stator main winding. The each field coil is consisted of a half-wave rectification circuit. The rotor field excitation is controlled proportionally by the stator dc exciting current.By the scheme that the stator main winding is connected to leading capacitors at the terminals for shunt excitation, and connected to the full-wave rectifier at the neutral point and the rectified current supplied to the stator exciting winding for series excitation, a brushless self-excited three-phase synchronous generator has been achieved.In this paper the circuit configuration of the generator and the experimental results using a 2kVA prototype machine are shown.

A method is proposed for designing a robust controller for PWM power amplifiers, which are widely used as amplifiers themselves and power supplies. The main technical requirements imposed on PWM power amplifiers are linerarity in wide frequency range and well-damped fast dynamic response against extensive load and d. c. power supply variations. Therefore, in order to satisfy the design specifications-linearity in wide frequency range and no overshoots during the transients, an approximate 2-degree-of-freedom integral type control structure is proposed as well as a design procedure for the robust controller is discussed. It is clarified from some simulations and experiments that the designed controller shows highlighted good dynamic performances and effective disturbance rejection properties against external disturbances, i. e. load and power-supply variations.

In electric motor coaches, when the adhesion force coefficient between rail and driving wheel decreases suddenly, the electric motor coach has slip phenomena. We have already proposed the anti-slip control system based on ordinary disturbance observer. In order to realize the more stable anti-slip readhesion control in case of large variation of adhesion force coefficient, this paper proposes a new anti-slip readhesion control based on first order disturbance observer and new torque function. In the numerical simulation results in this paper, the proposed anti-slip readhesion control well regulates the driving wheel torque of electric motor coach stably.

The application of the direct drive system is increasing in the field of robot and factory automation because of controllability with high accuracy. However, it requires the motor high torque at low speed.<br>Although the vernier motor, presented by C. H. Lee in 1963, could produce the reluctance torque in low speed, it involved many problems to be solved. In this paper, the authors have studied the reluctance torque of vernier motor using the finite element field analysis. As the increase of rotor slot number is effective to produce high torque, in our model there are not only winding slots but also small slots on the stator teeth surfaces and the rotor slots are provided in the periphery of the core more than the total number of stator slots by the pole number. The calculated torques have agreed very well with the experimental results.<br>A prominent feature of the control scheme is to control the armature current phase based on the detected rotor slot position, so there is no problem such as pull-in or pull-out in the vernier motor of C. H. Lee. And then the instantaneous torque is controlled by the amplitude of armature current. The experimental results on both the speed control and the position control were also shown in the paper.

A novel multi modular GTO current source converter structure is presented to application to superconducting magnetic energy storage system. N_??_N converters are arranged in a array form. The GTO current source converter array with appropriate arrangement of modulation and carrier signals can output large power with high quality line current waveforms. With using of only <i>N</i> transformers, 6N<sup>2</sup> pulse number converter performance is obtained. Only low switching of GTO is required since PWM is primarily used as a method to control flow of power instead of reducing harmonics. It is compared with conventional direct paralleled multi modular converter structure. The results of simulation are presented in this paper.

Recent development in power electronics has made power semiconductor device larger and complicated, and device simulation is necessary to predict their characteristics. From the fundamental equations of semiconductor device, potential distribution and carrier concentrations can be solved using the finite element method. In this study, we make formulation for one dimensional analysis of a gate turn off thyristor (GTO) and simulate switching characteristics in order to know the effects of snubber circuit. In conclusion snubber condensor is necessary to suppress spike voltage, but increases the turn off loss of GTO.

In this paper, we propose a method for recognizing phoneme by using a sequence of color lip images. The mouth images are obtained in series by using the color camera set at the front of the face. First, among the sequence of the images, each object image for processing is detected by using mouth movement information. Next step, in each image, the mouth region is detected by the color information. Then, the four shapes which are outside line of lip, the inside line of lip, the tangue and the center line of lip are extracted by using the change in distribution of gray level. Finally, the recognition of phoneme is carried out by the method based on the subspace method. As the training, the subspace method needs the 20 features extracted from the above four shapes. In this paper, the authors describe the results of the experiments which were performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Motion recognition based on sensory information is important for providing assistance to human using robots. Several studies have been carried out on motion recognition based on image information. However, in the motion of humans contact with an object can not be evaluated precisely by image-based recognition. This is because the considering force information is very important for describing contact motion. In this paper, a modal-power-based haptic motion recognition is proposed; modal power is considered to reveal information on both position and force. Modal power is considered to be one of the defining features of human motion. A motion recognition algorithm based on linear discriminant analysis is proposed to distinguish between similar motions. Haptic information is extracted using a bilateral master-slave system. Then, the observed motion is decomposed in terms of primitive functions in a modal space. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

"DC Micro-grid" is a novel power system using dc distribution in order to provide super high quality electric power. The power is distributed through dc distribution line and converted to required ac or dc voltages by converters placed near loads. The load side converters do not need transformers by choosing proper distributed dc voltage (±170V). The dc distribution line is composed of 3 power lines: +170V line, neutral line and -170V line. The voltages of ±170V have to be balanced to supply high quality power. In this paper, a voltage balancing control method for dc distribution is proposed and studied. Computer simulation results demonstrated that dc micro-grid was able to supply both ac and dc power to loads simultaneously and stably by 3-wire dc distribution and load side converters.

The torsional vibration between metal rolling rolls and a rolling mill motor, may occur in recent days, as a result of higher speed response adjustment for variable speed rolling mill motor drive system. Issues in this paper are focused on excess acceleration value, in tangential direction of the mill motor rotor, which is caused by the motor shaft torsional resonance at the white noise signal superposition to the speed reference signal of the motor drive system for the online transfer function analysis. As a result of the acceleration analysis, the acceleration values in "G" (Relative acceleration value on the basis of Gravity) can be plotted on "Bode-Diagram", which is namely frequency response for the speed signal amplitude transmission ratio. In addition, relation between the white noise amplitude reduction and the transfer function analysis accuracy deterioration is also examined, in this paper. As the amplitude of the white noise decreases, the analysis error increases because of the reduction in the resolution when the amplitude of the white noise signal is small.

The conventional semiconductor yield analysis is a hypothesis verification process, which heavily depends on engineers' knowledge. Data mining methodology, on the other hand, is a hypothesis discovery process that is free from this constraint. This paper proposes a data mining method for semiconductor yield analysis, which consists of the following two phases: discovering hypothetical failure causes by regression tree analysis and verifying the hypotheses by visualizing the measured data based on engineers' knowledge. It is shown, through experiment under the real environment, that the proposed method detects hypothetical failure causes, which were considered practically impossible to detect, and that yield improvement is achieved by taking preventive actions based on the detected failure causes.

The control of conveyance between processes still relies on the engineer's experience. It is difficult to correspond to the change in the conveyance layout due to the expansion and reduction of production and the breakdown of conveyance devices. In this paper, we propose a conveyance control system that can adapt to changes in the conveyance layout and we aim at the improvement of the amount of total conveyance.<br>First of all, the system is divided into the part where the conveyance layout is made a data base and the part where the conveyance control that uses the congestion index is done. Therefore, it is possible to deal flexibly by changing the data base part without changing the conveyance control part when it is necessary to change the conveyance layout suddenly.<br>In all the combinations of the conveyance layout and the turning on pattern used as a result of the simulation, the proposed conveyance control method became a great result by the amount of total conveyance.

This paper proposes a visual servo control method for exploring motion of eye-in-hand robot to recognize a three-dimensional object. The CCD camera attached at the manipulator tip captures the images of the target object, and then the robot varies its own posture with referring the position transitions in the images of the feature points on the object. Our approach for optimal motion is based on the strategy in which the position estimation precision of the feature points in the captured images gets improved when the feature points move widely, and the optimal robot motion provides the widest transitions of the feature points per unit robot motion, so that the robot should be controlled to purse such motion. In the proposed method, the primary feature point is made located at the center of the image, while the other points are moved for achieving the optimal transition in the image. In addition, this paper describes the way to reduce calculation effort for the proposed method. The numerical and physical experiments have been executed with use of 3-DOF planar manipulator. The validity of our approach is confirmed in the several experimental results.

The history of motor technology began with the discovery of electromagnetic induction by Faraday. Various kinds of motors were developed by the recent progress of the fundamental technology (magnetic structure, magnetic material, drive circuit, control method). Especially, motors using the reluctance torque have many advantages and some of them are used as high efficient motors. This paper overviews recent advances of reluctance torque assisted motors such as Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM), Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) and Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM).

We have developed a low-speed and low-capacity wind power generator. In this paper, we introduce the outline of the 5kW multi-polar synchronous generator that generates the electric power efficiently from 50rpm to 180rpm. The generator is produced by a magnetic powder core for cost reduction. We also express the outline and field test results of the low-capacity power plant constructed in Ohmura City, Nagasaki.
