Recently, with the progress of robust control techniques, the resonance of mechanical systems becomes a more important problem. This paper presents a position control method to suppress the torsional vibration of a 2 mass resonant system. Here we propose a sensorless control of arm portion. In this case, it is necessary to estimate some states of the arm portion. When motor portion parameters are well known due to several identifications, the reaction torque caused by the shaft torsion can be estimated. This reaction torque feedback makes it possible to control the resonance frequency between the torque current and the motor position. Here, we introduce a new concept which is called "Resonance Ratio". The resonance ratio is determined arbitrarily by the feedback of the reaction torque. The proposed method is a reasonable concept from a mechanical point of view.<br>The proposed control system is based on both the conventional PD control and the resonance ratio control. Then any sensor information of the arm portion is not used, and the proposed controller is a very simple structure. This is one of the remarkable points of the proposed method. We discuss an idea of the determination method of controller gains. The validity of the proposed method is also proved by several experiments.

We have done some attempts to understand the mechanism of commutation spark generation in universal motor from the image aspect using a high-speed camera. We have also mentioned about the generation of single and plural number of sparks at one commutator segment and the voltage between brush and commutator segment. This time, we investigated spark generation distribution and their position of the brush, by photographing all the sparks generated during a single-rotation of the motor. As a result, it's become clear that there is increasing of spark generation in the position near the side where the armature coil of the brush is connected.

Small-sized, AC series commutator motors (universal motors) are used very much in small appliances such as vacuum cleaners and hand tools, because they offer advantages of high speed and low cost. In particular, motors for vacuum cleaners are being designed with smaller size, but higher speed and increased output power. Therefore, it is desirable to improve commutation performance, because it influences the brush lifetime.<br>In this paper, a method to improve commutation performance of the motors is described. It is an exceptional armature winding form in which the turn number of the backward coil is less than that of the forward coil in the same slots. The commutation sequence determines which is the backward coil and which is the forward one. The configuration and operation of the exceptional armature winding form for universal motors are detailed. A factor to relate the commutation performance using the magnetic field and the commutation analyses is also described. The design theory is built up with respect to the exceptional armature winding form and usefulness of the method is verified for predicting brush lifetime with actual motors. The effect of the armature winding to improvement the brush lifetime is confirmed experimentally.

Two experimental studies have been conducted in order to propose practice indexes for the improvement of the embouchure of French horn players, two experimental studies have been conducted. In both studies, the same task was performed by advanced and amateur French horn players. The first study investigated the activity, while performing the above-mentioned task, of the 5 facial muscles (levator labii superioris, zygomaticus major, depressor anguli oris, depressor labii inferioris, and risorius muscles) on the right side of the face by surface electromyography, and the facial movement on the left side of the face by attaching two markers above each muscle and using two high-speed cameras simultaneously. The results of the study showed that it is possible for the four markers around the lower lip to practice indexes. The second study evaluated whether the above-mentioned markers are appropriate as practice indexes using a 3-D tracking system and questionnaires. The results showed that both the advanced and the amateur players assessed that the markers were suitable as practice indexes for improving the embouchure. This set of approaches could be useful for selecting practice indexes and developing scientific practice methods not only for the French horn but also for other instruments and other fields.

This paper describes a wind power forecasting method and its confidence interval estimation. Recently, flat control of wind power generators by various batteries is required. For the flat control, accurate wind power forecasts and their error confidence intervals are needed. In this paper, wind speed forecasts are calculated by regression models using GPV (Grid Point Vale) weather forecasts. The forecasts are adjusted by the fuzzy inference using the latest errors. The wind power forecasts are translated from the wind speed forecasts using two power-curves. The power-curves are selected or combined by fuzzy inference depending on wind direction. The error confidence interval models are generated for each forecasting target time. Each confidence interval is combined by the other fuzzy inference.<br>The proposed methods are applied to actual wind power generators, and found that forecasting errors are better than the conventional methods. The almost all of forecasts can be within error confidence intervals estimated by the proposed method. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The procedure for identifying linear time-varying systems with dead times using the wavelet analysis has already been proposed by the authors. This paper reports an application of the identification procedure to actual control systems of watertube drum-boiler in a thermal power plant. The control systems are required to supply steadily high-quality steam subject to disturbances due to unexpected changes in load. Therefore, it is necessary to make a precise model which takes the disturbances into consideration for control system design. The identification procedure is applied by the following steps: (1) extension of the method for single-input/output systems to that for two-input/output systems, (2) estimation of the time span where the system is considered to be in steady states, and (3) estimation of the process transfer functions in each time span. The identified model is evaluated in terms of mean square errors of the process outputs (steam-pressure and water-level) in comparison with an ARX model.

This paper presents a system based on the control of PTZ cameras for automated real-time tracking of individual figure skaters moving on an ice rink. In the video images of figure skating, irregular trajectories, various postures, rapid movements, and various costume colors are included. Therefore, it is difficult to determine some features useful for image tracking. On the other hand, an ice rink has a limited area and uniform high intensity, and skating is always performed on ice. In the proposed system, an ice rink region is first extracted from a video image by the region growing method, and then, a skater region is extracted using the rink shape information. In the camera control process, each camera is automatically panned and/or tilted so that the skater region is as close to the center of the image as possible; further, the camera is zoomed to maintain the skater image at an appropriate scale. The results of experiments performed for 10 training scenes show that the skater extraction rate is approximately 98%. Thus, it was concluded that tracking with camera control was successful for almost all the cases considered in the study.

This paper proposes a novel control method based on the virtual AC/DC/AC conversion for the matrix converter. The virtual AC/DC/AC conversion method is a very simple strategy to control the input current and the output voltage for the matrix converter. There are two new topics proposed in this paper. Firstly, this paper proposes the minimum switching loss modulation on the virtual rectifier. In case of the proposed modulation, only two arms switching in the virtual rectifier using dc link current control by the virtual inverter can obtain clean sinusoidal input current. Secondly, a novel lean controlled carrier modulation on the virtual inverter is proposed. The leans of the triangle carrier are controlled by the duty ratio of the rectifier side pulse. The lean controlled carrier reduces harmonic distortion of the input current by avoiding interference between the rectifier control and the inverter control. These new proposals are confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

The single-phase converter or rectifier always has a voltage ripple in the output DC voltage, because the instantaneous power of the single-phase AC line varies on the double frequency of the line. In order to obtain a smooth DC voltage, an energy storing element is necessary. The smoothing capacitor is used to reduce the ripple voltage in the DC output. Usually, it has much larger capacitance than that needed to absorb the ripple energy.<br>This paper discusses the required capacitance to absorb the ripple energy, and represents a ripple compensation circuit with a small auxiliary capacitor controlled by a 2-quadrant chopper connected in parallel to the smoothing capacitor. The appended capacitor works under large ripple voltage and efficiently absorbs the ripple energy. The ripple compensation curcuit works as an equivalent capacitor which has a large capacitance.

In this paper, we propose a generic framework for detecting suspicious actions with mixture distributions of action primitives, of which collection represents human actions. The framework is based on Bayesian approach and the calculation is performed by Sequential Monte Carlo method, also known as Particle filter. Sequential Monte Carlo is used to approximate the distributions for fast calculation, but it tends to converge one local minimum. We solve that problem by using mixture distributions of action primitives. By this approach, the system can recognize people's actions as whether suspicious actions or not.

Power factor and torque of synchronous reluctance motors with a slit rotor are studied. In there stators, divided teeth made of powder magnetic core are adopted and windings are improved to get high space factor of stator windings and to shorten coil ends. In there rotors, stainless sheets are inserted among soft magnetic metal sheets with adhesive to strengthen the rotors and rotor structure is improved to enlarge the saliency ratio (<i>L<sub>d</sub></i>/<i>L<sub>q</sub></i>). As the result, the power factor 0.78 and 1.6 times torque at same motor size are attained.

This paper focuses on no-load iron losses of turbine generators. To calculate iron losses of turbine generators a program was developed. In the program, core loss curves of materials used for stator core were reproduced precisely by using tables of loss coefficients. Accuracy of calculation by this method was confirmed by comparing calculated values with measured in a model stator core. The iron loss of a turbine generator estimated with considering three-dimensional distribution of magnetic fluxes. And additional losses included in measured iron loss was evaluated with three-dimensional magnetic field analysis.

It becomes increasingly important for service industries to understand customer behavior using large-scale data such as POS data. However, limitations exist in a customer model constructed on the basis of such behavioral data alone. This paper presents how we can construct a customer model on the basis of both large-scale purchase data and lifestyle survey data. It proposes a method that reveals the connection between lifestyle and behavior by deducing lifestyle from behavioral data using Random Forests, a machine learning algorithm. Then, It applies the proposed method to an actual mass merchandizers using questionnaires on lifestyle collected and the customer behavioral data (ID-POS Data). It thereby demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method and its possible use in supporting managerial decision-making on critical issues such as product selection.

An exposure method for realizing fine patterning on three-dimensional samples is described. Three-dimensional sample requires the different viewpoint from that of the proximity patterning. Concave areas can not be geometrically approached to the mask. The fine patterning becomes difficult due to the broadening of the exposure light. In this study, the phase shift mask is combined with the well-collimated mercury lamp. 5 μm-width line pattern is stably obtained on the 200 μm-deep cavity bottom.

This paper proposes a new framework for B to B collaboration process based on a concept of service. Service value, which gives users satisfaction for provided services, depends on the situation, user characteristics, and user objectives in seeking the service. Vargo proposed Service Dominant Logic (SDL), which determines service value according to "value in use". This concept illustrates the importance of the relationship between the service itself and its situation. This relationship is analogous to electro-magnetic field theory in physics. We developed the concept of service fields to create service value based on an analogy of the electro-magnetic field. By applying this concept to B to B collaboration, a model of service value co-creation in the collaboration can be formulated. Then, the collaboration can be described by 4 steps of KIKI model (Knowledge sharing related to service system, Identification of service field, Knowledge creation for new service idea, Implementation of service idea). As its application to B to B collaboration, the energy saving service business is reported to demonstrate the validity of the proposed collaboration model. This concept can be applied to make a collaboration process effective.
