Dual-Sliding-Mode-Observer-Based IPMSM Sensorless Control Technique by Sang Xu, Anwen Shen, Mingzhen Zhang, Qipeng Tang, Xin Luo, Jinbang Xu

“…With the proposed strategy, the combination of the stator-voltage transformation matrix (SVTM) and the low-pass filter is developed to obtain the rotor position information, which greatly alleviates the chattering without any deviations. Meanwhile, three independent equations are constructed and extracted by placing two SVTMs in different locations. …”

Association of socioeconomic factors and the risk for unintentional injuries among children in Japan: a cross-sectional study by Nobuhiro Sato, Kohei Akazawa, Yusuke Hagiwara, Junta Ishikawa

“…The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed no significant differences in socioeconomic factors between households that reported unintentional injuries and those that did not.Conclusion The findings of our study demonstrated that unintentional injuries among preschool children occurred at approximately fixed rates, independent of socioeconomic factors. Accordingly, prevention strategies for unintentional injuries that concern socioeconomic disadvantages should be avoided in Japan.…”
