This paper is based on the EL mathematical model of the MMC synchronous rotating coordinate system, derived the MMC passive control law, the inner ring current passive controller is designed and the AC voltage controller is set. In order to restrain the negative sequence current caused by the network voltage unbalance or asymmetric AC system fault, the positive and negative sequence of independ...

this paper presents some analyses about the robust practical stability of a class of nonlinear affine systems in the presence of non-vanishing perturbations based on the passivity concept. the given analyses confirm the robust passivity property of the perturbed nonlinear systems in a certain region. moreover, robust control laws are designed to guarantee the practical stability of the perturbe...

UNLABELLED Prosthetic knees are a vital component in an artificial limb. Contemporary knees include passive, (mechanical), adaptive (computerized), or active (motorized) control systems and have the potential to mitigate amputation-related functional impairments and activity limitations. A 14 mo randomized crossover trial was conducted. Participants (n = 12, mean age = 58 yr) were tested under ...

background and objective: tamoxifen is one of the selective estrogen receptor modulators that exerts estrogen / anti-estrogen effects in various tissues. this study was done to evaluate the effect of chronic administration of tamoxifen on spatial memory and passive avoidance task in adult male wistar rats. methods: in this experimental study, 48 adult male wistar rats were randomly divided into...

introduction: melanin pigmentation in the oral mucosa occurs as a result of several reasons one of which is smoking. cigarette smoke induces numerous side effects in the people who do not smoke, but are in the same environment. the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of parental smoking on pigmentation of their children's oral mucosa. materials and methods: this study was carried out as ...

introduction: butylated hydroxytoluene (bht 2, 6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) is one of the extensively used antioxidants in the food industry. it is used in low-fat foods, fish products, packaging materials, paraffin, and mineral oils. bht is also widely used in combination with other antioxidants such as bha, propyl gallate, and citric acid for the stabilization of oils and high-fat foods. on the ...

Design and Performance of Passive Control System for Gas-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone Separators by Ram Mohan, Shoubo Wang, & Ovadia Shoham, The University of Tulsa and Gene Kouba, Chevron Petroleum Technology Company Abstract: The performance of Gas Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLCC) separators can be improved by reducing or eliminating liquid carry-over into the gas stream or gas carry-under thr...

A mathematical model to compute the overall vibrational response of connected multistructure mechanical systems is presented. Using the proposed model, structural vibration control strategies for seismic protection of multibuilding systems can be efficiently designed. Particular attention is paid to the design of control configurations that combine passive interbuilding dampers with local feedb...

Self-Optimizing Control and Passive Velocity Field Control of Intelligent Machines

In this paper, a passive bilateral control law is proposed for a teleoperator consisting of a pair of n-DOF nonlinear robotic systems. The control law ensures energetic passivity of the closed-loop teleoperator with power scaling, coordinates motions of the master and slave robots, and installs useful task-specific dynamics for inertia scaling, motion guidance and obstacle avoidance. Consequent...
