Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized High Frequency Signal Injection Based Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Rotor Position Estimation Applied to Washing MachinesOlfa Bel Hadj Brahim Kechiche, Houda Ben Attia Sethom, Hafedh Sammoud, Ilhem Slama BelkhodjaProblem statement: This study investigates a novel optimized scheme of a High Frequency Signal Injection (HFSI) based sensor less technique in order to carry out a precise and robust rotor position error estimation of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive designed for washing machines. The study was carried out for standstill condition, where precise position information was required for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2011 · 9,514 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Educational Organizations' Culture of Sustainable Consumption: Initiating and Evaluating Cultural Change in Schools and UniversitiesDaniel FischerProblem Statement: Patterns of consumption are considered as a main driver of unsustainable development. In the debate, education and educational organizations are unisonous considered as a key player to contribute to a more sustainable socialization of young consumers. Both schools and universities are challenged to become places and life-worlds in which sustainable consumption can be learned and experienced. The objective … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2010 · 8,853 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimplified Block Matching Algorithm for Fast Motion Estimation in Video CompressionM. Ezhilarasan, P. ThambiduraiBlock matching motion estimation was one of the most important modules in the design of any video encoder. It consumed more than 85% of video encoding time due to searching of a candidate block in the search window of the reference frame. To minimize the search time on block matching, a simplified and efficient Block Matching Algorithm for Fast Motion … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,041 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMiniature-Autopilot Evaluation SystemKamal Ali, Lamarious CarterThis research describes a Hardware in the Loop Simulator (HILS) that was developed to enhance the quality of attitude data received from autopilots. The described system aided in adjusting the contribution of individual IMU sensors and thereby improved the accuracy of IMU data. The HILS system outlined in this research is a gimbaled platform equipped with four stepper motors and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,945 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Mechanical Characteristics of Inverter-induction Motor Drive SystemHussein Sarhan, Rateb IssaAn inverter-three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor drive system with improved mechanical characteristics is presented. The proposed system provides mechanical characteristics with constant maximum torque or increased maximum torque and reduced slip speed at frequencies below the nominal frequency. The control algorithm is based on the constant volts per hertz principle using two improvement techniques: keeping maximum torque constant or keeping magnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,659 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHow to Apply CxG to Phraseology: A Multilingual Research ProjectValentina Benigni, Paola Cotta Ramusino, Fabio Mollica, Elmar SchafrothIn the present research project, we will set out to design and populate a multilingual database which lists and describes Italian, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish phraseologisms. We firmly believe that the multilingual database will prove particularly useful in second language teaching. We will endorse the holistic perspective of Construction Grammar as our theoretical and applied framework … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2015 · 9,493 accessesView PDF Cite
