Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) solenoid valves can be used to control nozzle flow rates for precision spray applications reduce pesticide use, thereby reducing environmental risk and production cost. Field tests in a two-year-old young apple orchard were conducted investigate losses the ground air an air-blast sprayer equipped with three systems: 1) manually controlled constant-rate system enabled...

This paper discusses the design and implementation of single phase PWM inverter using 8051 microcontroller. The main features of 8051 based PWM inverter are simpler design, low cost, maximum range of voltage control and compact in size. The designed PWM inverter is tested on various AC loads like AC motor and intensity control of incandescent lamp in a closed loop environment.

Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSIs) are extensively used in industrial and domestic applications. The versatile natural sampled sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) method can perform output voltage control with acceptable indices. In these PWM-VSI, the coarse voltage regulation is done with change in modulation depth while fine voltage regulations have not been addressed by other auth...

A PWM technique is used to achieve the low total harmonic distortion (THD) at the output of inverter during the construction of pulses to the converter switches. By using PWM modulation techniques we can minimize harmonics generated by the PWM technique itself. First, we present converter topology characteristics with PWM techniques. Then we describe how a suggested modulation minimizes harmoni...

This paper proposes a new scheme Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to overcome low performances of conventional PWM control strategy in Cascaded Multilevel Inverter (ACMLI). This scheme advance conventional Carrier-Based PWM (CBPWM) using triangle carrier in different amplitudes. By this scheme ACMLI can control by PWM that according to dc voltage amplitude used and finally the Total Harmonics Disto...

Genetic parameters for birth weight (BWT), preweaning mortality (PWM), and HCW were estimated for a crossbred pig population to determine if BWT could be used as an early predictor for later performances. Sire genetic effects for those traits were estimated to determine if early selection of purebred sires used in crossbreeding could be improved. Data were recorded from 1 commercial farm betwee...

Thirty-one batchor continuous-flow milk pasteurizers used on commercial dairy and custom calf-feeding operations were surveyed. One sample of raw waste milk (RWM) immediately prior to onfarm pasteurization and one sample of pasteurized waste milk (PWM) immediately after on-farm pasteurization from daily waste milk pools were evaluated. The RWM and PWM samples were evaluated for nutrient composi...

Full software AC servo controllers have been developed with special real time software in the Windows NT operating system. The full software AC servo controllers are able to control multiple AC servomotors with the CPU of a personal computer. The controller handles 1 00s commutation and current feedback, 200s velocity feedback, and 1 ms position feedback. The full software AC servo controllers ...

The present studies have characterized the regulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene expression during pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-driven human B-cell differentiation. PWM induced an early and transient increase in the expression of immediate-early response genes of the jun/fos leucine zipper family (c-jun, jun B, c-fos, and fos-B). The induction of c-jun mRNA by PWM was concentration dependent. Nucle...
