The primary cause of air pollution by vehicles is imperfect combustion of fuel. One of the most usual causes of this imperfect combustion is the misfire in IC engins. The U.S. EPA(Environment Protection Agency) and the CARB(California air Resources Board) have imposed regulations for the detection of misfiring in automotive engines. The OBD-II regulations require that misfire should be monitored by the engine diagnostic system, and that the goal of OBD-II is to alert the driver to the presence of a malfunction of the emission control system. Several solutions to the misfire detection problem have been proposed for the detection of misfires. However, the performance of these methods in the presence of misfire is not altogether clear. This paper presents a precise method and system for internal combustion engine misfire. Present invention based upon measurements of engine roughness as derived from crankshaft angular velocity measurements with special signal processing method. Crankshaft angular velocity signals are processed by WDPT, so that the more reliable misfire detection than the time domain analysis. Experimental work confirms that it is possible to apply the WDFT for the detection of misfires in no-load idle and road testing.

This paper presents design and VLSI implementations of a reassembly processor for ATM/AAL. The assembly processor is responsible for processing ATM cells from the receive physical interface. It controls the transfer of the AAL payload to host memory and performs all necessary SAR and CPCS checks. We propose the improved structure of cell identification algorithm and smart scatter method for host memory management. The proposed cell identification algorithm quickly locates the appropriate reassembly VC table based on the received VPI./VCI channel value in the ATM header. The cell identification algorithm also allow complete freedom in assignment of VCI/VPI values. The reassembly processor uses a smart scatter method to write cell payload data to host memory. It maintains the scatter operation and controls the incoming DMA block during scatter DMA to host memory. The proposed reassembly processor can perform reassembly checks on AAL. OAM cell. For an AAL5 connection, only CPCS checks, including the CRC32, are performed. In this paper, we proposed a practical reassembly architecture. The design of reassembly processor has become feasible using 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS gate array technology.

This paper presents the implementation of the position control system for 3 phase induction motor using reaching mode controller and neural networks. The reaching mode controller is used to bring the position error and speed error trajectories toward the sliding surface and to train neural networks at the first time. The structure of the reaching mode controller consists of the switch function of sliding surface. And feedforward neural networks approximates the equivalent control input using the reference speed and reference position and actual speed and actual position measured form an encoder and, are tuned on-line. The reaching mode controller and neural networks are applied to the position control system for 3 phase induction motor and, are compared with a PI controller through computer simulation and experiment respectively. The results are illustrated that the output of reaching mode controller is decreased and feedforward neural networks take charge of the main part for the control action, and the proposed controllers show better performance than the PI controller in abrupt load variation and the precise control is possible because the steady state error can be minimized by training neural networks.

The impedance matching network with the simplfied real frequency technique (SRFT) is proposed as a method for bandwidth enhancement of microstrip antenna. The validity of the technique is based on the relative frequency insensitivity of the radiation pattern and gain characteristics as compared to the resonant behaviour of the input impedance. The most significant feature of this technique is that there is no need to find any analytical description of the antenna and generator, and it only utilizes directly real frequency generator and load data over the prescribed frequency band. Furthermore, it is not necessary to invent an analytic form of the system transfer function to assume a matching network topology in advance. In this paper, the transmission line model is used to investigate the rectangular microstrip antenna, and based on the Fano's bandwidth-enlargement theory, the SRFT is introduced to design the matching networks of microstrip antennas in order to obtain a constant gain over the frequency band of interest. Two representative microstrip antnnas with different structure are fabricated and tested. From these procedures, it is obtained that the proposed impedance matching networks of microstrip antenna improve the impedance bandwidth nearly three times compared to the antenna without them.

Long Term Evolution device-to-device (LTE D2D) is a key technology to mitigate data traffic load in a cellular system. It facilitates direct data exchange between neighboring users, which is preceded by D2D discovery. Each device advertises its presence to neighboring devices by broadcasting its discovery message. In this paper, we develop a mathematical analysis to assess the probability that discovery messages are successfully transmitted at the D2D discovery stage. We make use of stochastic geometry for modeling spatial statistics of nodes in a two dimensional space. It reflects signal to noise plus interference ratio (SINR) degradation due to resource collision and in-band emission, which leads to the discovery message reception probability being modeled as a function of the distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Numerical results verify that the newly developed analysis accurately estimates discovery message reception probabilities of nodes at the D2D discovery stage.

Red mud is an industrial by-product produced during the manufacturing aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) and aluminum oxide(Al2O3) from Bauxite ores. In Korea, aproximately 2 tons of red mud in a sludge form with 50% moisture content is produced when 1ton of Al2O3 is produced through the Bayer process. Neutralization of red mud will help to reduce the environmental impact caused due to its storage and also lessen significantly the ongoing management of the deposits after closure. It will also open opportunities for re-use of the residue which to date have been prevented because of the high pH. Moreover, attention to liquefied red mud(LRM) that does not require heating and grinding process for recycling is needed. In this paper, characteristics of compressive strength for cement paste with content of LRM neutralized by nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The results showed that compressive strength of cement paste with neutralized LRM is higher than that of cement paste with LRM.

Increasing environmental concerns have prompted countries around the world to tighten regulations on greenhouse gases and fuel efficiency. Research is being done using advanced driver assistance systems to improve fuel economy and for the convenience of drivers. Research on systems such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), LKAS, and AEB is active. The purpose of ACC is to control the longitudinal speed and distance of the vehicle and minimize the driver's load, which is considered useful for accident prevention. From this point of view, research has used a mathematical method of safety evaluation as a function of distances and scenarios while considering domestic road environments. A vehicle is tested with a simulation in a proposed scenario. The purpose of the analysis is to verify the functional safety of ACC by comparing the theoretical calculations using theoretical equations, the relative distances in the simulation, and an actual vehicle test. These methods are expected to enable many companies to use scenarios, formulas, and simulations as safety verification methods in the development of ACC.

도시유역에서 주로 침수피해가 발생하는 방류토구 인근의 저지대의 경우 유수지 및 빗물펌프장을 통하여 피해 발생을 방지할 수 있는 반면, 도심지 한복판에 이러한 상습 침수지역이 존재한다면 이에 대한 침수 방지 시설물의 설치에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 도심지 한복판의 침수위험지역의 경우 부지 확보의 어려움으로 인하여 유수지의 설치는 매우 제한적이며, 따라서 근래 대두되고 있는 것이 지하 저류공간의 건설 등이다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 이러한 지하 저류공간의 건설과 더불어 우수관망의 설계 자체를 침수피해 저감 측면에서 그 효과를 최대화하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 설계빈도하에 설계된 우수관망이라 하더라도 관망의 노선 선정에 따라서 초과강우사상에 따른 침수 발생량이 달라질 수 있다는 점에 주목하였다. 즉, 우수관망의 전체적인 구성에 있어서 설계빈도를 초과하는 강우사상에 대하여 그 부하량을 적정히 분배함으로써 관망의 전체적인 침수 발생 위험을 전반적으로 줄이는 것이다. 이를 통하여 확보되는 안전성은 지하 저류공간 등 각종 침수피해 저감 시설과 더불어 우수관망시스템의 침수피해 발생 위험을 전반적으로 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 목적하에 도시유역에서의 침수위험도 분석을 실시하였으며, 선행 연구를 통하여 제안된 우수관망의 신뢰도 산정 식을 토대로 목적함수를 아래의 식과 같이 구성하였다. $$Max.\;liability\;of\;Sewer\;Networks=1-\;{(1-N)^2+(1-V_i)^2\atop2}\;\cdots\cdots\cdots\;\;\;(1)$$ 여기서, $V_i$는 적용된 강우량당 유역의 전체 유출량 대비 월류발생량을 나타내며, $N_i$는 적용된 강우량당 해당 관망의 전체 지점 수 대비 월류 발생지점 수를 나타낸다. 이를 통하여 우수관망의 신뢰도를 최대화할 수 있는 최적설계 알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 실제 도시유역에 대한 적용을 통하여 최적 설계에 따른 신뢰도 향상 정도를 정량화하였다.
