Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the recent development of manufacturing technology, new types of intelligent sensors and actuators are being actively developed. Research on these sensors and actuators is being developed more actively due to the advancement of AI technology, and the results of research in the field will be mainly dealt with in this special issue. The main areas to be addressed in this issue are summarized as follows.

  1. Intelligent sensor
  2. Intelligent actuator
  3. Fusion or new type of sensor characteristics
  4. Application technology using intelligent sensors and actuators
  5. AI technology using sensors and actuators
  6. Sensor and actuator manufacturing technology
  7. Signal processing for sensors

This paper presents a high-frequency pulse-density-modulated (PDM) soft-switching series load resonant inverter for use in induction heating (IH) fixed roller applications, which is used in copy and printing machines. The proposed simple high-frequency resonant inverter uses an asymmetrical pulse pattern PDM control scheme to achieve complete zero-current soft-switching commutations over a wide output range of input power regulation. Additionally, when the printer toner requires operation in very light load conditions, this causes difficulty in achieving zero-voltage or zero-current soft-switching operations in the IH high-frequency resonant inverters with pulse frequency modulation or pulse width modulation control schemes. The proposed resonant inverter demonstrates the capability to accomplish highly efficient power conversions. In this work, a fixed roller for printing machines is developed for doing experiments to verify the efficiency of the proposed circuit topology and its PDM control schemes. The inverter’s steady-state and transient operating principles are analyzed based on the proposed control strategy at a high-frequency PDM. Operating conditions such as power loss analysis, power conversion efficiency and temperature rise characteristics of the proposed inverter are presented and analyzed through experimental results. Finally, from a practical viewpoint, a comparative study of a conventional halogen lamp heater and the proposed IH fixed roller is deliberated. Full article
