Archival demands for digital tape storage systems require smaller spacing between data tracks on the magnetic tape to allow for more data storage on a single cartridge. Increasing track density while maintaining track following provides a challenge for the servo control of the tape drive. In particular, interchangeable tape cartridges and time-varying tape reel diameters during operation cause ...

Passive systems have the beneficial property that their interconnections with other passive systems result in necessarily stable systems. This vmue of passive systems can be exploited with hydraulic systems to build owerful machines that are safe and human friendly. A digculty in a plying the passivity concept to electrohydraulic systems is i a t they are not intnnsically passive. In a previous...

A tape transport system consisting of a take-up reel servo, a supply-reel servo, and a capstan servo is proposed. The mathematical model of the system is derived. Two well know controllers – Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and P/PI controller, are designed to regulate the output of the system. An input gain matrix N is calculated and applied to the LQR to eliminate steady-state offset. Simulat...

This paper presents a new digital servo architecture that reduces power consumption significantly. This paper shows an example of the low power digital servo architecture, which reduces its current almost by 83%, compared to that of conventional digital servo. This architecture applies to the compact disc (CD), Video-CD (VCD), digital versatile disc (DVD), CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM. Through this redu...

As optical disks are removable and have some distortions, servo systems of optical disk drives must be robust, especially at low frequency. We proposed the high-gain servo controller with complex zeros, which is the same 2 order controller as conventional controllers, and realizes a much higher gain at low frequency. Decrease of servo error was confirmed, but the controller increased overshoot ...

Feedforward control can significantly improve the performance of industrial motion systems through compensation of the servo error induced by the reference signal. Recently, new feedforward tuning algorithms have been proposed that exploit measured data from previous tasks and a suitable feedforward parametrization to attain high servo performance. The aim of this paper is to formulate a design...

The proposed algorithm allows simplifying the optimal control law implementation. The optimal control ensures a good behavior of the system and the decrease of the energy consumption. Key-Words:Optimal control, Brushless, DC machines, Efficiency, Servo ...

The intriguing history of disturbance cancellation control is reviewed in this thesis first, which demonstrates that this unique control concept is both reasonable and practical. One novel form of disturbance cancellation, ADRC (Active Disturbance Rejection Control), attracts much attention because of its good disturbance rejection ability and simplicity in implementation. Hydraulic systems ten...

BACKGROUND Central sleep apnea is associated with poor prognosis and death in patients with heart failure. Adaptive servo-ventilation is a therapy that uses a noninvasive ventilator to treat central sleep apnea by delivering servo-controlled inspiratory pressure support on top of expiratory positive airway pressure. We investigated the effects of adaptive servo-ventilation in patients who had h...
