In so doing, our method ignores literary features—such as possible repetitions, narrative breaks, and contradictions—and focuses on t...

Using an Appropriate Controller for Independent Current Control for Motoring of Force Windings of Bearing less Induction Motor

A bearingless induction machine has combined characteristics of induction motor and magnetic bearings. Therefore, the advantages are small size and low-cost. In the magnetic suspension of the bearingless motors, suspension forces are generated based on the feedback signals of displacement sensors detecting the movement of the rotor shaft. The suspension forces are generated taking an advantage ...
