3.3 kV/1500 A power modules for the world’s first all-SiC traction inverter

Abstract: We have successfully developed 4H-SiC devices including metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) with a rated voltage of 3.3 kV. The conduction loss of the SiC-MOSFET was reduced to as low as that of the Si-insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) by the n-type doping of the junction field-effect transistor region (JFET doping). The JFET doping technique is effective in reducing the temperature coefficient of resistance in the JFET region, leading to the decreased on-resistance of the SiC-MOSFET at high temperatures. These devices have been applied to 3.3 kV/1500 A modules for the world's first all-SiC traction inverter. The switching loss of the new traction inverter system is approximately 55% less than that of a conventional inverter system incorporating Si modules.

ATM local area network switch with dual queues

Abstract: A switch for digital communication networks includes a queuing system cape of implementing a broad class of scheduling algorithms for many different applications and purposes, with the queuing system including both a tag-based primary queue which contain ATM cells organized by priority and a secondary queue which contains ATM cells which are not yet scheduled for transmission and which are organized by virtual channel. A queuing decision module is provided to determine in which queue an incoming ATM cell should be deposited. A requeuing module operates when an event occurs that unblocks a particular virtual channel. The requeuing module, on occurrence of such an event, accesses the secondary queue to obtain another cell, to assign it priority and to move it to the primary queue. The queuing decision module, along with a virtual channel table, can be used easily to block virtual channels when necessary. The combination of queues also allows for round robin scheduling.

Future motion control to be realized by in-wheel motored electric vehicle

Abstract: This paper discusses novel motion control strategies for in-wheel motored electric vehicle (EV), including 2-DOF control, dynamic optimal traction force distribution control and direct yaw moment control (DYC). Two electric vehicles, "UOT March II" and "COLT EV", are used for experiments. The control algorithms are verified by simulations and experiments, which show that the control strategies are efficient and effective.

Color calibration system

Abstract: A color calibration system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a display device provided with a color sensor for detecting a color temperature and illuminance of ambient light, a microcomputer, and a colorimeter for performing colorimetry on a display screen of the display device from the outside. The microcomputer calculates a target value by using a preset calculation equation and a detection result on the ambient light detected by the color sensor. Then, the microcomputer automatically performs color calibration of the display device so that a colorimetry result obtained by the colorimeter may agree with the target value.

Development of an onboard doppler lidar for flight safety

Abstract: Air turbulence has become a major cause of significant injuries and aircraft damages. Timely advanced warning of turbulence ahead of an aircraft may allow pilots to take appropriate action to minimize potential damage, such as reducing speed and securing passengers and unsecured objects, or to avoid the turbulence altogether. The aim of our research is to develop a practical, onboard, Lidar-based proactive sensor that will detect air turbulence in clear air at a range of 5 n miles (9.3 km) at cruising altitudes. In February 2007 we successfully measured wind speeds approximately 3 n miles (5.6 km) ahead of an aircraft in low-altitude flight experiments, and in a subsequent experiment in July of the same year, we succeeded in detecting air turbulence before encountering it. An upgraded 5-n-mile Lidar for low altitudes was developed in fiscal year 2007, and has successfully measured wind speeds at ranges up to 5 n miles in ground tests. This paper describes the master development plan of our Lidar turbulence sensor and the results of basic flight and ground experiments.
