In this paper, a redundantly actuated chewing robot with two higher kinematic pairs (HKPs) is presented, which can be used in performance test and evaluation of denture material. The robot has six actuators, but only has four degrees of freedom, due to constraints of two HKPs which mimic two temporomandibular joints (TMJs) of human. Quasi-static force analysis in occlusion status is performed to calculate...

This paper presents the focusing characteristics of near fields radiated from multi-panel phased array antennas, where each panel of the antenna array is designed to focus its radiation in the antenna near-field region, for UHF-RFID applications. The cylindrical arrangement of panels creates a relatively symmetrical focusing region beneficial to the tag detection within a confined region of bio-medical...
The ship shaft power generation system based on a stand-alone brushless doubly-fed induction generator (BDFIG) have demonstrated excellent saving-energy performance.

Through comprehensive simulation, the speed...
The linear induction machine (LIM) suffers heavily from low efficiency due to its large air-gap length, the influence of end-effects, and the partial load conditions. Several loss minimization control (LMC) techniques have been developed for LIM to adjust the flux to an optimal level to reduce the losses in the steady state. However, these methods are not applicable during dynamic process, since it...
Brushless doubly-fed induction generator (BDFIG) is a new type of ac induction machine and can be used for both grid-connected and stand-alone power generation. The conventional control methods for the BDFIG almost all rely on the encoder, which brings many limitations in terms of cost, complexity, reliability, and so on. This paper presents a new rotor speed observer (RSO) for the encoderless operation...

The MPCC is developed based on the unified reference frame dq model...
Cloud computing is growing rapidly due to its features of low cost, space saving, sharing etc., yet security issues are still a major concern. Multi-cloud computing technology was developed, in part, to address security concerns. One technique could use the Shamir's secret sharing method which is based on risk diversification. This work offers a solution strategy allowing users to allocate their resources...

Since air-gap magnetic fields of brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM) are produced by two stator windings of different pole pairs, the spatial harmonic contents of the BDFM are higher than conventional induction machines and have a considerable effect on the machine performance. To reduce the contents of main slot harmonics, the harmonic components of airgap magnetic field for the BDFM are analyzed...
The conventional stand-alone brushless doubly-fed generator (BDFG) control strategies need the feedback from the rotor position or speed sensors, which can reduce system reliability and increase the cost and axial volume of the machine. In this paper, a sensorless direct voltage control (DVC) strategy is presented for the stand-alone BDFG. The satisfactory dynamic performance is verified by experimental...

The phase-locked loop (PLL) based on conventional synchronous reference frame, i.e. dqPLL, is usually employed in grid-connected variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) power generation systems (PGSs). However, the voltage amplitude drop of stand-alone PGSs is often greater than that of the grid-connected PGSs when loads are added drastically, which makes the response of dqPLL deteriorated. This...
