This paper propose a contention resolution policy featuring dynamic change of the threshold for the occupancy of the input buffer for an input buffering ATM switching architecture and its hardware implementation strategy. The strategy is provided with the aim of the simple structure that achieves the reduction of the signal path and the power consumption. The threshold is changed dynamically every time slot based both the arrived of cells and the cell service resulting from the contention resolution. The performance on the cell loss of the proposed policy is performed and compared with the conventional policy under the diverse traffic conditions through both the analysis based ont the Markov chain and the simulation.

As the convergence speed of time domain adaptive algorithm on the LMS(Least Mean Square) becomes slow when eigen value distribution width is spread, So variable step size algorithm is used widely. But it needs a lot of calculation load. In this paper we consider new algorithm, which can reduce calculations and improve convergence speed, uses instantaneous absolute value of average noise signal adapting the exponential function. For the performance of proposed algorithm is tested and simulated to system generator. As the result we show the variable step size adaptive algorithm in proportion to instantaneous absolute value is more stable and efficient than others.

A variable speed wind turbine simulation model for grid connection is developed based on PSCAD/EMTDC. The model consists of wind model, rotor dynamics, synchronous generator, power converter, transformer, distribution line and infinite bus. Implementation of blade characteristics and power converter control strategies are included. Several transient case studies are performed including wind speed change, local load change and grid-side voltage unbalance using developed simulation model. The results of this work can be utilized for study of actual interaction between wind turbine and grid for reliable operation and protection of power system.

In this paper, we have proposed and demonstrated a variable optical attenuator (VOA) incorporating a dual-fiber collimator and a bimetallic actuator. The optical attenuation between input and output single-mode fibers was tuned by tilting the angle of a reflection mirror fixed on the bimetal. The bimetal was heated or cooled by a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and then moved the reflection mirror, due to bending and unreeling. The desired optical attenuation can be obtained through adjusting the electrical input into the TEC. The fabricated device showed 0.5 dB of insertion loss, 0.2 dB of maximum polarization-dependent loss, and 40 dB of dynamic range. The response time was measured to be about 5 s.

In this paper, we proposed a 13.56 MHz wireless power transfer system using loop antennas with tunable impedance matching circuits. In general, a wireless power transfer system shows an impedance mismatching due to a reflected impedance, because a coupling coefficient is varied with respect to separation distance between two resonating antennas. The proposed system can compensate the effect of this impedance mismatch owing to tunable impedance matching circuits using varactor diodes. Therefore, transmission efficiency is enhanced, moreover, the center frequency of the system is not changed, regardless of separation distance between two antennas. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed system, a wireless power transfer system with tunable impedance matching circuits is designed and implemented, which has a pair of loop antennas with a dimension of $30\;cm{\times}30\;cm$ cm. The input return loss, coupling coefficient, efficiency, and input impedance variation with respect to a distance between loop antennas were measured. From measured results, the proposed system shows enhanced performances than the case of the general fixed $50\;{\Omega}$ impedance matching circuits. Therefore, we verified that the proposed wireless power transfer system using the proposed impedance matching scheme will be able to ensure robust operation even when the separation distance of antennas is varied.

In this paper, a new adaptive perceptual filter using variable threshold to enhance audio signals degraded by additively nonstationary noise is proposed. The adaptive perceptual filter updates variable threshold each time according to the power of signal and the effect of noise variation. So the noisy audio signal is enhanced by the method which controls a residual noise effectively. The proposed algorithm uses the perceptual filter which transforms a time domain signal into frequency domain and calculates an intensity energy and an excitation energy in bark domain. In this method. the stage updated the response of filter is decided by threshold. The proposed algorithm using vairable threshold effectively controls a residual noise using the energy difference of audio signals degraded by the additive nonstationary noise. The proposed method is tested with the noisy audio signals degraded by nonstationary noise at various signal -to-noise ratios (SNR). We carry out NMR and MOS test when the input SNR is 15dB. 20dB. 25dB and 30dB. An approximate improvement of 17.4dB. 15.3dB, 12.8dB. 9.8dB in NMR and enhancement of 2.9, 2.5, 2.3, 1.7 in MOS test is achieved with the input signals. respectively.

The Input balun structure allows to apply diode bias, and the doubler output frequency is tunable by changing the diode bias voltage. With the bias voltage of -0.6 V, the measured operating frequency band of the implemented doubler is $10{\sim}20$ GHz, with the bias voltage of $-0.2{\sim}-0.4$ V, the operating frequency band is $10{\sim}30$ GHz, and with 0 V bias, the operating frequency band is $20{\sim}30$ GHz. The doubler provides conversion loss of less than 15 dB and fundamental frequency suppression of 30 dB.

This paper describes novel flip-flops with improved robustness and reduced power consumption. Variable sampling window flip-flop (VSWFF) adjusts the width of the sampling window according to input data, providing robust data latching as well as shorter hold time. The flip-flop also reduces power consumption for higher input switching activities as compared to the conventional low-power flip-flop. Clock swing-reduced variable sampling window flip-flop (CSR-VSWFF) reduces clock power consumption by allowing the use of a small swing clock. Unlike conventional reduced clock swing flip-flops, it requires no additional voltage higher than the supply voltage, eliminating design overhead related to the generation and distribution of this voltage. Simulation results indicate that the proposed flip-flops provide uniform latency for narrower sampling window and improved power-delay product as compared to conventional flip-flops. To evaluate the performance of the proposed flip-flops, test structures were designed and implemented in a $0.3\mu m$ CMOS process technology. Experimental result indicates that VSWFF yields power reduction for the maximum input switching activity, and a synchronous counter designed with CSR-VSWFF improves performance in terms of power consumption with no use of extra voltage higher than the supply voltage.

Maneuvering targets are difficult to track for the Kalman filter since the target model of tracking filter might not fit the real target trajectory and the statistical characteristics of the target maneuver are unknown in advance. In order to track such a highly maneuvering target, several schemes have been proposed and improved the tracking performance in some extent. Among those tracking schemes the Input Estimation (IE), Variable Dimension (VD) and Turning Acceleration Estimator (TAE) became popular. However, so far their tracking performances were analyzed individually and were not compared. In this paper, the tracking performances of the typical IE, VD and TAE schemes for a maneuvering target are compared. Monte-Carlo Simulations for three maneuvering profiles are carried out and the results are analyzed towards practical applications.
