DESIGN AND MYOELECTRIC CONTROL OF AN ACTIVE ORTHOSIS DEVICE USING FINITE STATE MACHINE ALGORITHM

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

An improved powered ankle-foot orthosis using proportional myoelectric control.

We constructed a powered ankle-foot orthosis for human walking with a novel myoelectric controller. The orthosis included a carbon fiber and polypropylene shell, a metal hinge joint, and two artificial pneumatic muscles. Soleus electromyography (EMG) activated the artificial plantar flexor and inhibited the artificial dorsiflexor. Tibialis anterior EMG activated the artificial dorsiflexor. We c...

Finite State Machine Testing from an or State Refinement Design

The paper formalizes the OR refinement of finite state machines and develops an efficient method to integrate the test sets of the component machines in order to test the flattened machine. The approach supports componentsoftware development since it constructs test sets for an assembly of systems from readily available test sets of the prefabricated parts.

Semi-active Control of Building Structures using Variable Stiffness Device and Fuzzy Logic

Semi-active control devices, also called “Intelligent” control devices, constitute the positive aspects of both the passive and active control devices. A semi-active control strategy is similar to the active control strategy, but this control device has been shown to be more energy-efficient than active devices. A particular type of semi-active control device, the Variable Stiffness Device (VSD...
