This paper presents a study on the application of fuzzy logic theory to control a directdrive dc motor. The design of fuzzy logic controller for speed of a DC motor is presented. Control performance of the fuzzy logic controller is studied by simulation. The simulation results with fuzzy control are compared with those of the conventional controller. 15:30 – Presentation of a Control Law for IM...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinicopathologic features, and explore the treatment outcomes of synchronous, or metachronous second primary malignancies (SPM) in conjunction with differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC). METHODS This retrospective study was conducted on 823 DTC patients treated between 2000 and 2012 at 2 tertiary care hospitals (King Fahad Medical City and King Khalid University Hos...

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests have aroused controversy. Critics have argued many of the tests are not backed by scientific evidence, misguide their customers and should be regulated more stringently. Proponents suggest that finding out genetic susceptibilities for diseases could encourage healthier behaviours and makes the results of genetics research available to the public. This pape...

DEP domain containing mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-interacting protein (DEPTOR), a recently identified mTOR-interacting protein, is a novel candidate oncogene. Previous studies reveal that high DEPTOR expression is required to maintain PI3K and Akt activation and to inhibit apoptosis. However, its significance in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is not yet known. The present study...

A comparison was made of the incidence of postoperative myalgia (POM) and fasciculations when atracurium (ATR) or d-Tubocurarine (DTC) was given prior to succinylcholine (SDC) for facilitation of tracheal intubation. The subjects were 44 ASA physical status I or II outpatient females undergoing laparoscopy. They were assigned to one of three groups: Group 1 received 0.025 mg/kg ATR; Group 2 rec...

The direct torque control theory has achieved great success in the control of permanent magnet synchronous motor. A Direct Torque Control (DTC) scheme of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is presented. Based on in-depth analysis of PMSM mathematical model in abc frame and  frame are established and the operation principle of DTC-SVPWM system, the relationships between the torque and f...

In this paper we propose an approach to improve the direct torque control (DTC) of an induction motor (IM). The proposed DTC is based on fuzzy logic technique switching table, is described compared with conventional direct torque control (DTC). To test the fuzzy control strategy a simulation platform using MATLAB/SIMULINK was built which includes induction motor d-q model, inverter model, fuzzy...

Sommario La ricerca del linfonodo sentinella con iniezione di radiocolloidi nel carcinoma differenziato della tiroide (DTC) è ancora oggi una tecnica dibattuta e non comunemente impiegata nella pratica clinica, in quanto attualmente contemplata dalle linee guida ATA. Obiettivo questa rassegna è, pertanto, quello raccogliere attuali luci ombre linfoscintigrafica DTC, per stimolare la futura racc...

INTRODUCTION Over the last few years, many private companies are advertising direct-to-consumer genetic testing (DTC GT), mostly with no or only minor clinical utility and validity of tests and without genetic counselling. International professional community does not approve provision of DTC GT and situation in some EU countries has been analysed already. The aim of our study was to analyse cu...

At present, induction motors are the dominant drives in various industries. It is quite cumbersome to control an induction motor (IM) because of its poor dynamic response in comparison to the DC motor drives. The central theme of Vector Control (VC) is to decouple the stator current of the IM into two orthogonal components and is to control these two components individually so as to achieve an ...
