This paper describes 1.2-V 5-Gb/s scalable low voltage signaling(SLVS) differential transmitter(TX) with a digital impedance calibration and equalizer. The proposed transmitter consists of a phase-locked loop(PLL) with 4-phase output clock, a 4-to-1 serializer, a regulator, an output driver, and an equalizer driver for improvement of the signal integrity. A pseudo random bit sequence generator is implemented for a built-in self-test. The proposed SLVS transmitter provides the output differential swing level from 80mV to 500mV. The proposed SLVS transmitter is implemented by using a 65-nm CMOS with a 1.2-V supply. The measured peak-to-peak time jitter of the implemented SLVS TX is about 46.67 ps at the data rate of 5Gb/s. Its power consumption is 1.88 mW/Gb/s.

This paper presents the applicability of low caloric synthetic gas from coal gasification to a gas engine system and small sized generator. A commercial LPG engine is modified to use the low caloric synthetic gas from coal gasification as the gas engine fuel. The modification is focused on the fuel supplying system, which includes air flowrate adjusting orifice, gas mixer, vaporizer, preheater, regulators, and fuel tank. From the results of engine performance data, we have demonstrated that the engine modified by using the coal gasification gas is well operated from idle to wide open throttle conditions although the engine power is somewhat reduced relative to LPG fueled engine. And we have also demonstrated that the generator is well operated with various loads.

VMS를 통한 정보제공에는 과도반응과 통행집중의 위험부담이 따른다. 즉 대안경로간에 이루어져야 할 통행배분을 정확히 유도할 수 있는 VMS 메시지란 존재치 않는다. VMS 메시지에 의해 특정 경로가 교통상황이 타 경로에 비해 좋다고 정보가 주어질 때, 그 정보에 대한 과도반응과 그 특정경로에 대한 통행집중 문제가 발생하여 정보제공에 의해 오히려 상황이 악화될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대안경로간의 물리적 특성 측면에서 우열이 있는 가상 네트워크를 대상으로 하여, 과도반응과 통행집중 문제를 극복하고 대안경로간의 적절한 통행배분을 달성하기 위한 VMS 운영알고리즘을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. VMS정보제공 결과, 즉 VMS를 통해 상황이 좋다고 알려준 경로에 통행이 집중할 경우 문제가 될 것인가 여부를 미리 예측해 보고, 문제가 될 경우 정보제공 전략을 수정하도록 하는, 피드백 제어에 예측적 방식을 접목하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 알고리즘의 주요 기능은 다음과 같다. 1. 교통량, 속도 등에 대한 실시간 모니터링 시스템이 구축되어 있음을 전제로 한다. 2. 실시간 제어에는 모니터링 결과와 이에 근거한 정보제공전략의 시행사이에는 시간차가 존재한다. 이러한 시간차이로 인하여 단기예측이 필요하고, 이를 수행하는 모듈이 있다. 3. 정보제공 결과로 특정 경로에 과부하가 걸리는지 여부를 예측하기 위하여, 그 판단기준으로 그 경로의 실제 용량 산정이 필요하다. 이에 혼잡의 시공간적 전개에 따라 변하는 동적 용량을 산정하는 모듈이 있다. 4. 대안 경로간 통행배분 목표치를 수리적으로 산정할 수는 있으나, 이를 자동적으로 이루어 주는 메시지는 존재하지 않는다. 아울러 현실적으로 예측 불가능한 외란을 모형에 의존하여 예측하기 보다는, 계속적인 피드백 레귤레이터(Regulator) 작동에 의해 보정하여 목표를 달성해 가는 자동제어 기능을 갖고 있다.

A low-swing differential near-ground signaling (NGS) transceiver for low-power high-speed mobile I/O interface is presented. The proposed transmitter adopts an on-chip regulated programmable-swing voltage-mode driver and a pre-driver with asymmetric rising/falling time. The proposed receiver utilizes a new multiple gain-path differential amplifier with feed-forward capacitors that boost high-frequency gain. Also, the receiver incorporates a new adaptive bias generator to compensate the input common-mode variation due to the variable output swing of the transmitter and to minimize the current mismatch of the receiver's input stage amplifier. The use of the new simple and effective impedance matching techniques applied in the transmitter and receiver results in good signal integrity and high power efficiency. The proposed transceiver designed in a 65-nm CMOS technology achieves a data rate of 13 Gbps/channel and 0.3 pJ/bit (= 0.3 mW/Gbps) high power efficiency over a 10 cm FR4 printed circuit board.

In this paper, driver circuit of LED lights for ships is designed and implemented to replace conventional lights with filament which have short life time due to vibration of ships. The driver of LED module is switching circuit without transformer to reduce volume and cost. As switch circuit controls input 220 VAC with PWM, LED module is reliably driven. Power factor is improved by using valley-fill PFC compensation circuit which is handled to pulse current of switching circuit. Serial-parallel LED circuit is applied to reduce change period of lights of long-term navigation ships. Array of serial-parallel can operate even if some of LEDs is damaged. It is suitable for ships that power consumption and power factor of lights including developed drive circuit have 39Watt and 0.925 respectively.

An electric excavator consumes battery energy to drive an electric motor attached to a hydraulic pump to generate hydraulic power. In a conventional hydraulic excavator, the hydraulic pump is controlled by regulators, which are used to optimize the diesel engine efficiency. Because of a lack of battery energy capacity, an electric excavator controller should consider not only the electric motor efficiency but also the hydraulic pump efficiency. Thus, electric motor and hydraulic pump efficiency maps were constructed. An optimal operating map (OOM) was created based on the most efficient operating points under each input condition. An integrated control algorithm controlled the speed of the electric motor and displacement of the hydraulic pump according to the OOM. To confirm the utility of this algorithm, a model-in-the-loop simulator for the algorithm with an electric excavator was established. The simulation results showed that the integrated control algorithm improved the energy efficiency of an electric excavator.

This paper deals with the improvement of pressurized quality for high maneuver aircraft. Anti-G Valve is a pressure regulating valve for inflating anti-G suits and providing a sense line signal for a g-compensated oxygen regulator. The new anti-g valve system is satisfied with military specification MIL-V-87255 and allowed the pilots to tolerate high-G exposures without any vibrations.
