-In motion control systems, differentiated position signal is commonly used to estimate velocity, and used for speed feedback control. Position quantization error can result in the amount of noise jamming, which affects system control precision and stability. In this paper, a reliable velocity estimator is proposed to estimate velocity from the measured position. This estimator consists of two ...

This study evaluates a technique for the closed-loop position and velocity control of a wire scanner actuator. The focus of this technique is to drive a stepper motordriven actuator through a 1-mm move using a combination of velocity feedback control and position feedback control. More specifically, the velocity feedback control will be utilized to provide a smooth motion as the controller driv...

The right lateral decubitus position is a risk factor for postoperative pulmonary embolism. We examined postural changes of femoral vein velocity in order to elucidate the mechanism. Thirty patients scheduled for general thoracic surgery were enrolled in this study. The common femoral veins on both sides were examined by color-duplex ultrasound for venous caliber and velocity when the patients ...

This paper presents an improved method of estimating flux angle, rotor position, and velocity by tracking the position of spatial saliencies in an ac machine. Specifically, a machine model is presented which accurately models the behavior of ac machines with multiple spatial harmonic saliencies. The effects of multiple spatial harmonic saliencies on the estimation of flux angle, position, and v...
