A variable reluctance machine (VRM) has been proven to be an outstanding candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications. This paper introduces a new double-stator, 12/14/12-pole three-phase hybrid-excited modular variable reluctance machine (MVRM) for EV applications. In order to demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed structure, the static torque characteristics and dynamic performance...

OBJECTIVES To estimate mortality rates and mortality trends from SLE in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. MATERIAL AND METHODS The official data bank was used to study all deaths occurred from 1985 to 2004 in which SLE was mentioned as the underlying cause of death. Besides the overall mortality rate, the annual gender- and age-specific mortality rates were estimated for each calendar year by a...

What follows is a list of open problems and research topics compiled by the two editors of this “mega-paper”, with the authors who contributed to this list mentioned together with their problems and research topics. The idea of such a collection occurred during CMC 12, held in Fontainebleau, Paris, France (23 26 August 2011), and the result is meant to be a working material for the Tenth Brains...

ABSRACTThis study presents the kinematic analysis of a four-degree freedom medical robotic arm using the Matlab and the robotic-tool, the arm was designed using a solid work program, As well as details of the control of the real design of this arm using Arduino Mega 2560, The specialist enters the position to be reached by the automatic arm (injection position), Or moving the arm to any p...

Abstract— The pole placement is one of the most important methods for designing controller for linear systems. In this paper work a procedure for solving the pole-placement problem for a linear time-invariant single-input/single output (SISO) systems by state-derivative feedback is described. Pole placement design to place all closed-loop poles at desired locations. In this paper, we shall prov...

Current electric vehicle solutions offer the possibility of a fully electrified bus fleet, although due to financial constraints, most cities cannot afford it. Therefore, battery replacement is needed alternative electrification process city’s fleet. The aim this study investigate needs and present concept in an bus. research was based on two groups selected Polish cities: (1) up 150,000 inhabi...
