This paper describes a method for the detection of shorted-turn in the cylindrical synchronous generator rotor windings based on the discrete wavelet transform. Multi-resolution analysis(MRA) based on discrete wavelet transform provides a set of decomposed signals in independent frequency bands, which contain independent dynamic information due to the orthogonality of wavelet function. In the proposed method, shorted-turn detection in rotor windings is based on the decomposition of the rotor currents, where wavelet coefficients of these signals have been extracted. Comparing these extracted coefficients is used for diagnosing the healthy machine from faulty machine. Experimental results are presented for healthy, and machines with 25%, 42%, 67%, 83%, 99% inter-turn short circuits in a rotor slot. Deviation of wavelet coefficients in healthy mode from faulty modes depicts the inverse proportion of shorted-turns. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method for shorted-turn detection in the cylindrical synchronous generator rotor windings.

For the fault diagnosis of three-phase induction motors, we construct a experimental unit and then develop a diagnosis algorithm based on pattern recognition. The experimental unit consists of machinery module for induction motor drive and data acquisition module to obtain the fault signal. As the first step for diagnosis procedure, preprocessing is performed to make the acquired current simplified and normalized. To simplify the data, three-phase current is transformed into the magnitude of Concordia vector. As the next step, feature extraction is performed by kernel principal component analysis(KPCA) and linear discriminant analysis(LDA). Finally, we used the classifier based on radial basis function(RBF) network. To show the effectiveness, the proposed diagnostic system has been intensively tested with the various data acquired under different electrical and mechanical faults with varying load.

This paper develops power measurement system with multiple sensor input channels (voltage-8 channels and current-10 channels) that simultaneously can monitor power components for both supply and load side of power system. The hardware implementation of the proposed system is based on TMS320C42 DSP and signal processing program algorithm to calculate power components use the definition of IEEE Standard 1459-2010 related power quality. The performance of the developed system is tested by using standard ac power source device, and the test results showed that accuracy of the developed system is less than 0.2 %. Also, field test of the proposed system in the three-phase and four-wire power system was implemented. Simultaneous multiple channel measurement and analysis of power components in commercial and industrial electrical power system using the proposed system will be necessary to reduce power quality problems.

The electrical characteristics of AlGaN/GaN/HEMT and MOSHFETs with NiO were studied. The threshold voltage of NiO MOSHFET revealed positive shift of +1.03 V than the -3.79 V of HEMT and negative shift of -1.73 V for SiO₂ MOSHFET. Also, NiO MOSHFET showed better linearity in drain current corresponding to gate voltage and higher transconductance at positive gate voltage than the others. The response of gate pulse with base voltage of -5 V was different for both transistors as HEMT showed 20 % drain current decrease at the frequency range of 0.1 Hz~10 Hz and NiO MOSHFET decreased continuously above 10 Hz.

BLDC motors are getting better performance due to the improvement of material technology including high performance of permanent magnets, advancement of driving IC technology with high integration and high functionality, and improvement of assembly technology such as high point ratio. While having the advantage of such a square wave driven BLDC motor, interest in the design and development of a square wave driven BLDC permanent magnet motor and development of a position detection circuit and driver is increasing in order to more meet the needs of users. However, in spite of the cost and functional advantages due to reduced efficiency, switching loss and vibration, noise, etc., the application is somewhat limited. Therefore, in this paper, we study a position detection circuit that generates a sinusoidal signal in proportion to the magnetic flux of a BLDC motor rotor using a Hall Effect Sensor that generates a sinusoidal wave to increase the efficiency of the motor, reduce ripple, and drive a sinusoidal current with excellent speed and torque characteristics.

This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of micro-current stimulation(MCS) on adipogenesis regarding with Wnt/β-catenin pathway using the ob/ob mouse and 3T3-L1 cell line. 6-week old ob/ob male mice were equally assigned to four groups: obese group(ob), obese with MCS groups(50 μA, 200 μA, and 400 μA). 6-week old C57BL/6J male mice were assigned to the control group(CON). We analyzed abdominal adipose tissue volume by using in vivo micro-CT and measured the body weight, feed intake, liver weight and triglycerides in serum. All the MCS groups showed that significantly reduced body weight and triglycerides in serum. In the case of liver weight and abdominal adipose tissue volume, the inhibitory effect of adipogenesis was shown in the 200 μA and 400 μA groups. To elucidate the anti-obesity effect of MCS, β-catenin, C/EBPα and FAS protein expressions were analyzed by western blotting. β-catenin expression was upregulated, C/EBPα and FAS expression were down-regulated in the relatively high-intensity groups(200 μA and 400 μA). Thus, the 200 μA and 400 μA for the intensity of MCS were chosen for cell experiments. In the 3T3-L1 cell line, Wnt/β-catenin pathway including Wnt10b, Wnt3a, β-catenin and Cyclin D1 was activated in all MCS groups. Accordingly, the expression level of C/EBPα was decreased during the differentiation and lipid droplet was significantly reduced in Oil red O staining results. These results suggest that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling might be activated by MCS with current intensities between 200-400 μA and it may lead to anti-obesity effects.

To do this, the problem of constructing the inverter circuit using the existing buck device was examined, the principle that could prevent this problem was analyzed, and a circuit that could solve this problem was presented. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method, the experimental circuit was constructed and the experiment was conducted. Compared to the operation of the inverter circuit by the existing overcurrent prevention circuit, it was confirmed that the stable operation was performed without an overcurrent phenomenon. Accordingly, it is expected that the performance of the circuit can be greatly improved while a number of peripheral devices for configuring the devices for processing various analog signals used in IT devices as a single power supply can be omitted.

In this paper, we present a block media communication (BMC) system which employs powerline communication to the equipments used in the welding process for ship-assembly and uses metal block as a communication medium. Inductive couplers are installed on digital feeder and pin jig. Information signal is added to the current generated by the welding gun, and applied to the block. When the welding operation starts, information generated in the field is transmitted to the monitoring server in real-time. The field test on the BMC system confirms that the transmitted data are correctly received at the server. Since the proposed system can be built without any changes to the existing welding process, it is helpful to increase competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry through smart factory of shipyards. It is also possible to quickly respond to emergency situations that may occur to workers in an electromagnetic wave shielding environment or a closed space, the effect of preventing industrial accidents will be great.
