연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Systems and methods are described for improving the performance of electric motors which employ commutators and brushes. A method includes improving the performance of an electric motor that employs a commutator and brushes comprising: sending power to the motor, reading a set of data from the motor using an analog to digital converter and a microcontroller configured to execute digital signal processing software, setting a speed for the motor, and maintaining the speed for the motor based on the set of data as analyzed by the microcontroller. An apparatus includes a current sensing device coupled in series to the motor to monitor the current of the motor, a solid state switch coupled through the microcontroller to the current sensing device which controls the amount of current delivered to the motor, a high pass filter coupled to the current sensing device that removes the 60 Hz frequency component from the voltage of the current sensing device, an analog to digital converter that sends digital output to the microcontroller, and a microcontroller to perform digital signal processing coupled to the solid state switch.
