This paper describes a distance measurement process, tracking the environment, and determining the presence of space obstacles. The ultrasonic module HC-SR04 is used to measure the distance. This module is complemented by a servo motor, which allows gradual monitoring of the surroundings. The way of signaling obstacles in the space is realized via the vibrating motor. All information about the measured distance is then transmitted to the computer via the Bluetooth module, where is created graphical user interface in the MATLAB program. The system is designed to enable orientation in space for people with visual impairments.

A mathematical model of induction-assisted 3D printing is presented, providing a tool for design of specified tracks printed on suitable substrates. The model consists of the non-stationary temperature field produced by laser beam and field of deformation produced by continuous adding the printing material. If necessary, the pattern of temperature in the material can be customized by induction preheating and/or postheating of the substrate. The model is solved for a given arrangement and the most important results are compared with the experiment.

The paper substantiates the composition and choice of a microgrid for settlements in the Central European part of Russia that are not connected to centralized public electricity networks. An economic analysis of microgrid costs in comparison with traditional methods of power supply (diesel, power lines) has been carried out. The economic advantages of using microgrid are shown both from the point of view of customers and the state in providing the availability of electricity for the population.

The effects of electromagnetic (EM) fields on human head model with cochlear implant in different shielded spaces are presented in this article. There are differences between specific absorption rate (SAR) close to human head model inside shielded space like in elevator or train and nonshielded space (open area). In the presented approach, the investigation is focused on modelling of EM field were realized using the finite integration method. The simulations were carried out for specific scenario where a person/passenger was placed in the different shielded spaces using a mobile phone. The results were evaluated in terms of the SAR values – the determination of EM energy absorption inside the human head. The PIFA antenna with a frequency of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz was designed as radio frequency source. In the proposed matching method, SAM homogenous human head model with hand and in hand PIFA antenna as a source of EM field- was chosen to model six different distances of the mobile phone from the human head surface. Our results have shown that the maximal SAR values obtained by numerical simulations in shielded/enclosure areas (such as the elevator or train) are higher than are SAR maximum values recommended in the European standards limit. Besides, those values achieved in shielded/enclosure areas are higher than the open space simulations results.

This paper describes a voltage controlled amplifier with linearized response to the controlling voltage and discusses its harmonic distortion. As a controlling element, a JFET transistor has been utilized. The design of the amplifier has been made with the aid of Maple mathematical software and National Instruments Multisim circuit simulator. During the simulations, it was found that the controlling transistor would probably introduce significant distortion into the signal path. Therefore a set of measurements on real circuit was made in order to verify that the SPICE model of the transistor provided relevant results during the simulation. Both, the simulated and the really measured parameters of the amplifier are discussed within the framework of this paper.

This paper presents novel modification of Field Oriented Control (FOC) in order to reduce torque ripple in 3-phase Permanent Magnet (PM) motors caused by non-sinusoidal BackEMF. A smooth torque operation is ensured by precise tracking of a modified q-axis current reference, which includes BackEMF shape. Alternating component added into q-axis current reference has 6 times higher frequency than fundamental stator electrical frequency. Therefore precise tracking of such current reference is usually not feasible with conventional PI controller due to its limited bandwidth. This paper introduces Current Harmonics Controller (CHC) added into current control loop in FOC structure in order to increase performance of the current loop if alternating current reference or alternating disturbances occurs as a 6th harmonic over one electrical revolution.
