In this paper, the issue of the differential ring oscillator in designing low phase noise is linearity improvement of delay cell's load resistor. A novel differential delay cell that improves on the Maneatis load is proposed. The linearity improvement of load resistor results in lower phase noise in ring oscillator. For comparison of the phase noise characteristics, Ali Hajimiri's phase noise model is used. In order to have a low ISF(impulse sensitivity function), it is important to have a symmetry between rise time and fall time of oscillation waveform. The ISF value of ing oscillator based on the proposed delay cell is lower than that of the existing ring oscillators. Due to this result, the phase noise is improved by 2~3dBc/Hz for the same power dissipation and oscillation frequency.

In this paper, we present the robust fuzzy algorithm for variable speed control of wind turbines. Generally, the plants of wind turbines are consisted of complex nonlinearities, and the parameters of variable speed of wind turbines are represented as uncertain terms. For solving these complexity, we propose the robust fuzzy algorithm. At first, the exact fuzzy modeling are performed for variable speed of wind turbines. Next, we design the fuzzy controller for reanalyzed T-S fuzzy model of the wind turbines, then, we prove the stability of the plant through the Lyapunov stability theorem. At last, an example is included for visualizing the efficiency of the proposed technique.

This paper describes a new method for the design of variable structure model-following control systems(VSMFC). This design concept is developed using the theory of variable structure systems (VSS) and slide mode. The new results are presented on the sliding control methodology to achieve accurate tracking for a class of nonlinear, multi-input multi-output(MIMO), time varying systems in the presence of parameter variations. The design requires little computational effort. The dynamic response is insensitive to parameter variations. The feasibility and the advantages of the method are illustrated by applying it to a 1000 MWe boiling water reactor(BWR). The control is studied in the range of 85%∼90% of rated power for load-following control. A set of 12 nonlinear differential equations is used to simulate the total plant. A 6-th order linear model has been developed from these equations at 85% of rated power. The obtained controller is shown by simulations to be able to compensate for a plant parameter variation over a wide power range.

Because embedded system is combined system of hardware and software, we should design by considering elements such as real-time, reactive, small size, low weight, safe, reliable, harsh environment, low cost, and so on. However, those are poorly reflected on current embedded system development. Especially, there is few existed framework-based embedded system development. As a result, there are many internal codes which is not related with system operation in currently developed embedded system, and reusability or variability is not considered into embedded system development. Therefore we propose a formal specification technique using Z language to guarantee completeness or consistency of design of reusability framework proposed for improving reusability of embedded system. Also we assure correctness of framework design by checking Z model through Z-Eves Tool.

Currently various techniques for efficiently developing sensor network applications are developed. However, these techniques provide the method for developing only single sensor network application easily and rapidly. Since sensor network applications control various sensor nodes based on core components of operating system, the technique to develop applications by defining common functionalities of various applications and selecting variable functionalities according to the work flow of specific application is efficient. Accordingly, this paper presents an experimental study that identifies commonality of sensor network application domain and supports optional development according to the variability of application by applying product line approach to developing sensor network application. Through the experimental study, we describe the characteristics of sensor network application domain compared with general business domain for product line development. Also, we show the effectiveness of the proposed approach by presenting that core assets designed using the proposed variability feature model and VEADL are reused according to the functionalities of each sensor node.

유사한 제품 패밀리들에 대한 생산성 향상과 재사용성을 향상시키기 위해 Product Line Engineering에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. PLE를 이용한 소프트웨어 개발이 기존 방법들보다 생산성과 재사용성을 향상시키기 위해서는 제품 패밀리에 대한 도메인 분석을 통한 핵심 자산을 효율적으로 구축해 놓아야 한다. 현재 SI업체에서 많이 이용하고 있는 프레임웍처럼 PLE의 핵심 자산들을 만들기 위해서는 제품 패밀리 내의 제품들의 특징을 공통성과 가변성으로 분리하고 이들 특성들 간의 관계성을 추출하는 작업이 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 도메인 전문가 또는 제품 패밀리 분석가들이 제품 패밀리 특징들을 추출하고 모델링하기 위한 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

자율주행 기술에서 스테레오 비전과 End-to-End Driving은 많이 사용되는 기술이며 본 연구에서는 이를 신호등 인식과 주행에 적용하였다. 신호등 인식은 좌우 카메라로부터 적색 원을 인식한 후 스테레오 비전을 통해 신호등과의 거리를 추정한다. 주행 시스템은 End-to-End Learning 기반으로 이루어지며, 출력값인 가변저항을 조향각으로 변환하여 제어할 수 있다. 또한 감마 보정을 통한 데이터 증강을 통해 빛에 대해 민감하지 않게 모델을 학습하였다. 추후 신호등 인식 시 HSV 필터가 빛에 민감한 점과 주행 시 가변저항 값이 일정하지 않은 점이 해결된다면 더욱 안정적인 시스템을 구축할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

4륜 장착 자동차의 토크 전달은 2륜 구동, 4륜 구동 모드를 간단히 전환하는 방식(part time 4WD)과 항시 사륜 구동 모드에서 전후륜의 토크 전달비를 제어하는 방식(AWD, all wheel drive)이 있다. 경제의 발달에 따라서 취미 인구의 확대로 국내에만 180만 명의 R/C car 사용자가 있다. 이 중 2WD-4WD의 전환을 differential lock mechanism으로 구현한 수입산 모델의 가격이 1,000,000원을 호가하지만 가변 제어 방식이 아닌, 정차 후 2-4륜 구동 전환 방식을 적용하고 있으며 상대적으로 내구성이 떨어진다. DC motor의 출력이 늘어나고 배터리의 성능이 좋아진 현재 소형 RC car의 최고 속도는 80 km/h 정도로 빨라졌다. 그러나 마찰 계수가 낮은 노면(실내의 대부분 평활 처리된 복도)에서는 2륜 구동 모드의 활용도가 매우 낮다. 미끄러운 노면에서 후륜 구동 모드로는 oversteer가 발생하여 차량이 스핀하기 쉽고 전륜 구동 모드로는 understeer가 발생하여 제대로 된 코너링이 어렵다. 상시 4륜 구동 모드는 에너지 소모가 크고 전후륜이 tight coupling되어 있는 문제 때문에 일반적인 노면에서 부드러운 코너링이 잘 이루어지지 않는 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방식은 그림 1와 같이 center shaft의 중간에 영구 자석으로 만들어진 토크 전달용 판이 있고 그 사이에 자계를 차폐할 수 있는 강자성체 셔터를 서보 기구에 연결하여 서보 회전각에 따라서 구동 쪽의 토크가 피구동축으로 전달되는 양을 연속 가변제어할 수 있다. 토크 전달용 판의 차폐 면적에 따른 토크 전달양을 전/후륜 바퀴의 Static torque를 통해 측정하였으며(그림 2), 공중 상태에서 즉 공기저항만을 고려한 상태에서의 RPM 회전수 차이 측정(그림3)을 통해 구동 쪽의 회전수가 피구동축으로 전달되는 양을 측정하여 연속가변 토크 제어 전달 기구의 성능을 확인하였다. 이 기구는 현재 1차적으로는 remote controller의 ch 3(ON/OFF제어 방식)에 연결하여 특정한 양의 토크를 전륜 쪽으로 보낼 수 있도록 구현이 가능하며, ch 2(PID제어 방식)에 연결하여 연속 가변 조절이 가능하도록 구현이 가능하다. 부가적으로 Arduino board를 내장하여 전후륜의 휠센서에서 입력되는 신호를 감지하여 자동적으로 전후륜에 배분되는 토크를 제어할 수 있도록 설계 중에 있다.

An accurate prediction on near-future cash flows plays an important role for a company to attenuate the shortage risk of cash flow by preparing a plan for future investment in advance. Unfortunately, there exists a high level of uncertainty in the types of transactions that occur in the form of receivables in inter-company transactions, unlike other types of transactions, thereby making the prediction of cash flows difficult. In this study, we analyze the trend of cash flow related to account receivables that may arise between firms, by using a stochastic approach. In particular, we utilize Variable Order Markov (VOM) model to predict how future cash flows will change based on cash flow history. As a result of this study, we show that the average accuracy of the VOM model increases about 12.5% or more compared with that of other existing techniques.

In analysis of slope stability, deterministic analysis which yields a factor of safety has been used until recently. However, probability of failure is considered as a more efficient method because it deals with the uncertainty and variability of rock mass. In both methods, a factor of safety or a probability of failure is calculated for a slope although characteristics of rock mass, such as characteristics of joints, weathering degree of rock and so on, are not uniform throughout the slope. In this paper, we divided a model slope into several zones depending on conditions of rock mass and joints, and probabilities of failure in each zone are calculated and compared with that calculated in whole slope. The persistence of joint was also used as a parameter in calculation of probability of failure. A rock slope located in Hongcheon, Gangwondo was selected and the probability of failure using zoning and persistence as parameter was calculated to confirm the applicability of model analysis.
