Stepper motors are a very convenient and economical solution for accurate positioning applications where long lifetime and low wear are required. Their particularly simple open-loop operation reduces the number of control components to a minimum. However, ...
Slotless brushless dc motors find more and more applications due to their high performance and their low production cost. This paper focuses on the windings inserted in the air gap of these motors and, in particular, to an original production technique tha ...

The induction motor offers the best value for money and is therefore used in many different application fields where power requirements are higher than a few kilowatts. ln order to be able to reduce the priee and the motor's size, a control algorithm based ...
An analytical solution for the torque and power of a solid-rotor two-pole three-phase slotless induction motor is presented. The field excitation is a current layer placed at the stator interior surface. The solution is based on an analytical solution of t ...
Electronic door lock cylinders need some sort of mechanical actuator to toggle the locking state between open and closed. The main requirements are high security standards, low power consumption, reasonable production costs, and facile integration of the a ...
In this paper, a fully automated system for source detection of the partial discharges (PD) as an online diagnosis test in rotating machineries is proposed. This technique uses a modified version of the Expectation Maximization-based (EM) clustering techni ...
Vibrotactile displays can extend the perception capabilities of visually impaired persons. Placing such devices on the head promises easy attachment and detachment without reducing other interaction abilities. However, the effectiveness of head-attached vi ...

The idea is to integrate a rotating or linear motor in a touring ski binding and automatically adapt the heel height according to the slope the user is mounting. This would avoid multiple painful movements of the skier to raise or lower the heels. The slop ...
The development of very high-speed motors has evolved fascinatingly in the last few years. Due to their speed, their low weight and their high power density, the need for such motors has recently increased for various different applications. Among them, su ...
This paper presents a linear direct-quadrature (dq) current control strategy for voltage source converters (VSCs) in a rotating reference frame (RRF). The described method is based on Multivariable proportional-integral (PI) regulators and provides fast dy ...
