Electric Power Steering System Has Become a Key Technology for Highly Automated Driving

 

Electric Power Steering (EPS) System

The Electric Power Steering (EPS) system works by applying torque to steering gear of a car based on a sensor that detects steering angle and torque. The electrical control unit (ECU) monitors the vehicle’s overall speed and sends a voltage signal to the electric motor. As the electric motor delivers torque in response to the steering angle, the system is most effective when a driver is moving at low speeds. It also provides with better control of a vehicle.

The most common type of Electric Power Steering (EPS) system uses a three-phase electric motor that runs on DC voltage modulated with pulse width. This motor operates without mechanical brushes and allows for high torque application at low revolutions per minute. EPS also works with a computer to compensate for any irregularities in the steering system. The EPS warning light illuminates when the system is not working properly.

The first performance requirement for Electric Power Steering System controllers is the stability margin. This is the upper limit of EPS stability. Different external conditions influence the stability margin and the power moment ratio. For example, driving on a snowy surface will require more steering assistance than driving on a sandy surface. Other sensors are also used to determine the appropriate steering assistance level. Along with the three basic functions of the EPS system, it can also be programmed to respond to different conditions, such as braking or acceleration.

The module of Electric Power Steering (EPS) system is much more complex than a simple circuit board in a box of aluminum. The electric power steering module contains signal generators, drivers, current monitor circuit and MOSFET switches. This monitor circuit reduces the current that is being sent to the motor and avoids damage to the electric power steering system. If it malfunctions, it will produce a direct torque control (DTC) and illuminate an alarm light. Recently in October 2020, Nexteer Automotive launched high-output Electric Power Steering (EPS) to deliver advanced safety and comfort features and increased fuel efficiency for light commercial vehicles and heavy duty trucks.

With the use of High-Frequency alternating current, Radiofrequency Ablation Device convert Electromagnetic Energy into Heat Energy

Image
Radiofrequency Ablation Device RFA is a minimally invasive technique that may be done in a doctor's office or a hospital. The majority of patients are able to return home the same day. RFA can be done with or without minimal sedation. If anaesthesia is utilised, the patient is generally kept awake and alert enough to explain what they are feeling during the nerve stimulation and lesioning. The following are the steps involved in an RFA: ·         On a procedure table, the patient is lying on his or her stomach. An intravenous (IV) line is established if sedation is utilised so that relaxation medication (sedation) can be administered. ·         To reduce the danger of infection, the skin above the treatment region (neck, mid-back, or low back) is thoroughly washed. ·         A numbing drug (anaesthetic) is injected into the location of the RFA injection site to numb a small p...

The Isocyanates Market to Witness Robust Growth in North America and Asia Pacific

Image
  Organic compounds that contain an isocyanate group are referred to as isocyanates. They are a family of highly reactive, low molecular weight chemicals. Isocyanates are extensively used in the automobile, electronics, and construction industry. Moreover, they are used in a variety of industries using chemicals such as certain coatings/linings, adhesives, lacquers, two pack spray paints, and in foam production such as fillers or insulation. Isocyanates are also used in the production of rigid foams, coatings, elastomers, and adhesives. Increasing demand form the construction industry due to its highly reactive chemical property is expected to be a key factor driving the Isocyanates market growth. Among regions, the Isocyanates M arket is witnessing robust growth in North America and Asia Pacific due to the rapid growth of various end-use industries such as automotive, electronics, and construction, with India, China, and the U.S. being the major growth engines. According to th...

Air Purifier works as a Sanitizer in the air which helps in reducing pollutants, allergens, and toxins

Image
  Air purifier   Within a confined area, an air purifier eliminates organic and inorganic impurities from the air. The clean air is sent out into the living space after these devices catch pollutants and particles in the air. Dust mites, mould spores, chemicals, poisons, and scents are all trapped by these filters. These gadgets are frequently touted as appropriate tools for asthmatic patients and others who suffer from airborne allergen allergies. An indoor Air purifier ensures the filtering of the air inside a closed room, which it catches and releases as clean air. If the windows may be opened, it functions in addition to the necessary natural ventilation. A contrast must be noted between a professional model and a residential device, since neither provides the same level of air treatment or overall performance. Pollens, fine particles PM2.5 and PM10, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), viruses, and germs are all effectively removed by a professional air purifier with a H...
