Simple power electronic drive circuit and fault tolerance of converter are specific advantages of SRM drives, but excessive torque ripple has limited its application. This paper presents a novel method of controlling the motor currents to minimize the torque ripple, using a neuro-fuzzy compensator. In the proposed control concept, a compensating signal is added to the output of a classical PI c...

We present a method to determine (88)Sr/(86)Sr and (87)Sr/(86)Sr simultaneously. The former variation reflects the mass-dependent isotopic fractionation through the physico-chemical processes, and the latter originates from beta(-)-decay of the parent nuclide (87)Rb as well as the mass-dependent isotopic fractionation. In order to determine the mass-dependent isotopic fractionation, the mass-di...

correlation between sacral ratio and bowel function as well as fecal continence has been well documented in patients with anorectal malformations (arms). one hundred and twenty children with arms were investigated in this study. sacral ratio (sr) was measured from pelvic x-rays of patients. among these, 52 patients (43%) had no pelvic x-ray and were excluded from this study. sr was measured by ...

background: one area of nanoscience deals with nanoscopic interactions between nanostructured materials and biological systems. to elucidate the effects of the substrate surface morphology and viscoelasticity on cell proliferation, fractal analysis was performed on endothelial cells cultured on nanocomposite samples based on silicone rubber (sr) and various concentrations of organomodified nano...

Ca release from cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) is regulated by dyadic cleft [Ca ] and intra-SR free [Ca ] ([Ca ]SR). Robust SR Ca 2 release termination is important for stable excitation–contraction coupling, and partial [Ca ]SR depletion may contribute to release termination. Here, we investigated the regulation of SR Ca release termination of spontaneous lo...

In this paper a low-cost sensorless control strategy of SR motor is proposed. The static flux-linkage characteristics of the motor are used for estimating the position. A number of discrepancies between the static and the dynamic characteristics of the motor are explained. In this paper the issues regarding eddy effects and mutual inductances in both static and dynamic conditions, and their inf...

SR motors are gaining wider popularity among variable-speed drives. This is due to their simple, low-cost construction characterized by an absence of magnets and rotor winding, high level of performance over a wide range of speeds, and fault-tolerant power stage design. Availability and the moderate cost of the necessary electronic components make SR drives a viable alternative to other commonl...

This paper presents newsensorless rotor position detection for a Three-phase single switch SR motor with regeneration capability at standstill mode. The proposed method is based on the dependency of phase current waveform at turn off time to rotor position angle. It is shown that the combination of a motor with single switch per phase converter and a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) circuit d...

New calcite Sr/Sr data for 47 limestones from the metamorphosed and deformed Neoproterozoic–Cambrian Dalradian Supergroup of Scotland and Ireland are used to identify secular trends in seawater Sr/Sr through the Dalradian succession and to constrain its depositional age. Dalradian limestones commonly have Sr .1000 ppm, indicating primary aragonite and marine diagenesis. Low Mn, Mn/Sr ,0.6, O an...
