This paper traces the development of three-phase induction motor controls using the Semikron advanced integration (SKAI) power electronics system. The SKAI was developed for hybrid and electric vehicles and integrates all the components of a three-phase inverter. As such, it promises to deliver significant cost savings. The SKAI utilizes a digital signal processor (DSP) controller. However, Semikron does not supply the necessary software for the DSP controller. The DSP used in the controller is manufactured by Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments provides an array of DSP programming utilities. This paper discusses aspects of programming and testing the DSP controller

Sensors along with processing and communication electronics are becoming small enough to be tightly integrated into a wide variety of systems from biological and environmental to manufacturing. Along with this miniaturization, wireless sensor networks have recently become an area of great interest to researchers and industry. They offer the promise of monitoring, data collection, and control of systems with unprecedented scale and spatial granularity. It is widely believed that wireless sensor network system design, installation, and maintenance are simplified due to the absence of physical wires. As with any emerging technology, pitfalls are as significant as the benefits. Today the performance of these networks is highly application dependent, with many different, yet tightly coupled challenges. This paper provides an overview and description of what wireless sensor networks are and are not. Challenges with their design and deployment in electrical manufacturing environments are also presented. The current wireless sensor network state of the art and obstacles to overcome are reviewed. Finally, a speculative view of future trends is offered

This paper reviews the generalized subject of core losses in single-phase AC induction motors and discusses the proper selection of stator core materials to reduce those losses. It also describes a unique method of interconnecting the stator windings that results in improved efficiency in multi-speed induction motors operating with a fan-type load

This paper explains an offline testing procedure to determine the condition of a used DC motor in order to determine whether it needs to be serviced or is viable for continued operation. Through the use of common test equipment, several motor measurements such as vibration, acoustic amplitude, and current variance can be analyzed to determine the condition of the motor. This procedure is vital in quality measures and preventative maintenance in order to reduce downtime. This testing procedure was tested on the Tennant version of the Briggs and Stratton Etek DC motor

This paper derives an expression for efficiency of the buck converter that is obtained by determining the power loss in each component of a power converter. The expression for efficiency is derived as a function of the DC voltage transfer function and the circuit parameters. For a selected design, the derived expression is validated using a PSpice simulation. The expression is used to predict the variation in efficiency as well as the duty cycle of the design for two conditions: with varying input voltage and a fixed load; and with a fixed input voltage and a varying load

The purpose of this paper is to provide information about the history and processing of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for surgical implantation. UHMWPE has revolutionized the orthopedic industry by providing an excellent bearing surface for implants used in total joint arthroplasties of the hip. This paper discusses the formation of plastics, the steps taken to process UHMWPE, the wear characteristics of UHMWPE, and alternatives to UHMWPE in bearing surfaces

For years the vision for futuristic vehicles has being in the mind of many engineers. Nonetheless, the combination of many old thoughts and ideas has played a significant role to modern day vehicles as well a major foundation to futuristic vehicles. Improvements to the early vehicle are what will create the futuristic vehicle. The search for better motors and clean efficient energy is well under way. To enhance the understanding of these technologies, it is best to recognize the history of cars. It is also important to realize the major effects the DC and AC motors have with today's vehicles. The importance of energy sources has to also be taken into consideration. Many different types of batteries have been introduced as sources. These batteries have their advantages as well as disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages include chemicals that, if mixed, can be corrosive. However, research is now in progress to reduce these types of problems

The majority of weight in a motor is concentrated in two major areas: the magnetic core and the copper windings. All of the other components of the motor can and have been made of plastics (e.g. bearings, armature, and housing). Previously, due to the electrical and magnetic properties required for the windings and the magnetic core, these were constrained to high density metals, mostly copper and steel. However since the early 1970s much progress has been made in the synthesis of polymers that display desirable electrical and magnetic properties. In this paper we discuss research into the possibility of constructing an all polymeric motor

Servos improve machine performance and productivity, as well as improving product consistency, lowering the reject rate, and improving the part's quality. All of these individually help save on cost-but servos bring all these benefits together and add to the improvement of the bottom line. What makes a servo "different"? As reviewed in this paper, there are several design characteristics and manufacturing techniques that make a servo "different" than other motor technologies. These lead to the advantages of servos. The performance of servos, how they compare to other technologies, the advantages, the application benefits and improvements are also covered
