This paper presents the feasibility of a lateral mode piezoelectric oscillator to detect damages in civil infrastructures. The lateral mode oscillator sensor is composed of an electronic feedback oscillator circuit and a piezoelectric lateral mode vibrator to be attached to a structure of interest. Damage to the structure causes a change in the impedance spectrum of the structure, which results in a corresponding change of a resonant frequency of the structure. The oscillator sensors can instantly detect the frequency change in a very simple manner. Feasibility of the piezoelectric oscillator sensor was verified in this work with a sample aluminum plate where artificial cracks of different lengths and number were imposed in sequence. Validity of the measurement was confirmed through comparison of the experimental data with the results of finite element analyses of a plate with cracks.

In this paper, we propose a design method for a digital filter using software in order to analyze the radio astronomy observation data. Recently the analysis method for radio astronomy observing system is transferring from hardware to software by developing of state-of-the-art of computer system. The existing hardware system is not able to easily change the specification because it is implemented to meet special requirements and it takes a high cost and time. In case of software, however, it has an advantage to implement with small cost if open software is used, and flexibly changes to satisfy the desired specification. But, in order to analyze the massive data like radio astronomy with software, the good performance system is needed for computer. Therefore, this paper proposes a digital filter design method using software with the same performance as that of digital filter implemented with hardware in observation system which is operated by the KVN(Korean VLBI Network). To design a digital filter, the proposed method is performed with standard C language and the simulation is conducted with GNU(GNU's Not Unix) Octave and investigated to show its effectiveness. In addition, for the high speed operation of the designed digital filter, the SSE(Streaming SIMD Extensions) library is adopted for available parallel operation. By the proposed digital filter, the digital filtering is performed for the wide band observation data in the KVN observation mode, the filtering result of narrow band observation has no ripple inside of stop band, and confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a new type of fuzzy-sliding mode controller for robust tip position control of a single-link flexible manipulator subjected to parameter variations. A sliding mode controller is formulated with an assumption that imposed parameter variations are bounded so that certain deterministic performance can be guaranted. In the design of the sliding mode controller, so called moving sliding surface is adopted to minimize the reaching phase and thus mitigate system sensitivity to the variations. The sliding mode controller is then incorporated with a fuzzy technique to reduce inherently ever-existing chattering which is impediment in position control of flexible manipulators. A set of fuzzy parameters and control rules are obtained from a relation between predetermined sliding surface and representative points in the state space. Computer simulations are undertaken in order to demonstrate superior control performance of the proposed methodology.

The indirect-contact ECG measurement is a newly developed method for unconstrained and nonconscious measurement in daily life. This study introduced a new method of electrode circuit design developed for reducing the 60Hz power line noise observed at the indirect-contact ECG measurement. By the introduced common-mode-driven shielding, the voltage of the electrical shield surrounding the capacitive coupling electrode is maintained at the same as the common mode voltage. Though the method cannot reduce the level of common mode voltage itself, that reduces effectively the differential mode noise converted from the common mode voltage by the difference of cloth impedance between the two capacitive coupling electrode. The experiment results using the actual indirect-contact ECG showed that the 60Hz power line noise was reduced remarkably though the reduction ratio was smaller than the expected by the theory. Especially, the reduction ratio became large for the large difference of cloth. It is expected that the introduced method is useful for reducing the power line noise under condition of poor electrical grounding.

The EB type contact binaries show large temperature difference $(\mid\bigtriangleup T\mid\geq1,000K)$ between two components. Thus we have modified the mode 3 of the WD program to adjust albedos, limb darkening coefficients and gravity darkening exponents for both components of such binaries, while the values for those parameters should be same for both components in the original WD program. Both of the modified and the original versions have been applied to the EB type contact binaries such as DO Cas, GO Cyg, and FS Lup. The computed light curves with modified version fit better to the observations.

We report an investigation of the statistical fluctuations of the two-mode laser output as the asymmetry parameter is varied. The above results relate to computer solutions of the coupled Langevin equations both with and without pumping fluctuations. We find that as the asymmetry parameter is changed positively, the mean intensity of one mode is increased because the normalized intensity auto-correlation is decreased so that the natural dwell time is lengthen. The laser output does respond to a sinusoidally injected asymmetry parameter for small pump parameter.

최근 분산전원 시스템 개발로 인해 계통연계 인버터의 사용이 증가해 왔다. 계통연계 인버터의 주요한 역할은 계통연계 환경에서의 안정적인 운전과 계통 사고 시 중요 부하에 대한 연속적인 전력을 공급하기 위한 독립운전에 있다. 각 모드 전환시의 출력전압의 변동성과 과도응답 특성을 개선하기 위해 최근 다중 루프 및 간접 전류 제어 방식이 계통연계 인버터에 적용되었다. 하지만 이러한 제어 방식은 캐패시터 전압 및 인버터 전류의 측정이 요구되어 시스템의 비용 및 복잡성을 증가시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이산시간 상태공간에서의 전상태 관측기를 설계하여 무순단 절체 동작 시 제어기가 요구하는 변수를 추정하고 이를 궤환신호로 사용하여 시스템의 설계 비용 및 복잡성을 줄인다. 또한 계통연계 시 계통유입 고조파 전류를 억제하기 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 기존 공진형 제어기의 과도 응답을 개선하기 위해 이산시간에서 슬라이딩 모드와 공진제어기가 결합된 새로운 제어기 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 타당성은 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통하여 입증된다.

지도제작, 해양생태감시, 기상관측, 및 우주환경감시 등의 분야에 이용되는 저궤도 위성을 관제(위성추적, 원격측정 및 명령)하기 위해 본 논문에서는 최적의 PM 변조지수를 결정하는 방법을 기술하고 수신 데이터의 성능을 평가한다. 이 저궤도 위성인 아리랑 위성은 한국에서는 첫 번째 저궤도 위성이며 1999년 12월 발사되어 현재 임무를 충실히 수행하고 있다. 아리랑 위성 관제시스템의 파라미터에 의해 위성링크를 설계하면, PB 원격측정 신호의 최적 변조지수는 Eb/No마진과 PFD마진의 교차점이 되며 1.92라디안으로 결정된다. 또한 위성의 통과시간에 따라 예측되는 BER은 RT모드에서 최고의 성능을 나타애고, RT+RNG모드에서 최악의 성능을 나타내기 때문에 데이터 전송순서를 위성의 통과시간에 따른 BER 성능 순서인 RT, PB, RT+RNG모드의 순서로 결정함으로써 수신성능을 높일 수 있다.
