Power Quality Compensator(PQC) has been installed to protect the sensitive loads against the voltage disturbances, such as voltage sag and interruption. In general, static switch is used for the purpose of link between utility and PQC. So transfer operation of the static switch play a important part in the PQC. Many studies on the structure and control of PQC have been progressed in active, but these researches have been rarely mentioned about any voltage-disturbances-detection method to start the PQC operation. In this paper, a new voltage-disturbances-detection algorithm for computer application loads using the CBEMA/ITIC curve is proposed for transfer operation of the static switch. The proposed detection algorithm is implemented to get fast detecting time through the comparison of instantaneous 3-phase voltage values transferred to DC values in the synchronous reference frame with the operating reference values. To get the robust characteristics against the noise, a first order digital filter is designed. The magnitude falling and phase delay caused by the filter are compensated through the error normalizing and numerical analysis using transfer function, respectively. Finally, the validity of the proposed algorithm is proved by ACSL simulation and experimental results.

최근에 pH 감지막의 감지감도특성을 평가하기 위해 electrolyte insulator semiconductor (EIS) 구조가 유용하게 이용되고 있다. EIS는 간단한 구조와 pH 용액에 빠른 응답속도, 낮은 단가 및 집적이 용이하다는 장점이 있다. EIS 구조에서 화학적 용액에 대한 감지감도 평가 중 가장 중요하게 작용하는 부분이 감지막이다. 이 감지막은 감지 대상 물질과 물리적으로 직접 접촉되는 부분으로서 일반적으로 기계적/화학적 강도가 우수한 실리콘 산화막($SiO_2$)이 많이 사용되어져 왔다. 최근에는 기존의 $SiO_2$ 보다 성능이 향상된 감지막을 개발하기 위하여 $Al_2O_3$, $HfO_2$, $ZrO_2$, 그리고 $Ta_2O_5$와 같은 고유전 상수(high-k)를 가지는 물질들을 EIS 센서의 감지막으로 이용하는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. High-k 물질 중 $Al_2O_3$는 산성에서 알칼리성 영역까지의 넓은 화학안정성을 가지며 화학용액에 대해 내구성이 우수한 특성을 가진다. $HfO_2$은 내식성이 뛰어나며 출력특성이 높은 장점을 가진 물질이다. 본 실험에서는 특성이 다른 두 물질을 EIS의 감지막으로 각각 사용하여 두께에 따른 의존성을 평가하였다. 제작한 EIS 구조의 pH 센서를 바이오 센서에 적용하였을 때 신호대 잡음비(SNR: signal to noise)가 여전히 취약하다는 문제점이 있었다. 이런 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 감지막의 물리적 두께는 점점 얇아지게 되었고 그 결과 높은 출력 특성을 얻게 되었지만, 감지막이 얇아짐에 따라서 화학 용액 중의 이온 침투로 인한 감지막 자체의 손상 또한 심각한 문제로 대두되었다. 이로 인해 최적화 된 감지막의 두께를 얻을 필요가 있다. 결론적으로 $Al_2O_3$, $HfO_2$ 두 감지막 모두 두께가 23 nm일 때 가장 우수한 특성을 보였으며, $Al_2O_3$를 감지막으로 사용하였을 경우 화학적 용액에 대해 내구성이 뛰어났고, $HfO_2$을 사용하였을 때에는 화학적 용액에 대한 안정성 보다는 pH 용액변화에 따른 향상된 감지감도특성을 보였다.

The demand for high-resolution images is gradually increasing, whereas many imaging systems yield aliased and undersampled images during image acquisition. In this paper, we propose a high-resolution image reconstruction algorithm considering inaccurate subpixel registration. A regularized Iterative reconstruction algorithm is adopted to overcome the ill-posedness problem resulting from inaccurate subpixel registration. In particular, we use multichannel image reconstruction algorithms suitable for application with multiframe environments. Since the registration error in each low-resolution has a different pattern, the regularization parameters are determined adaptively for each channel. We propose a methods for estimating the regularization parameter automatically. The preposed algorithm are robust against the registration error noise. and they do not require any prior information about the original image or the registration error process. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithms outperform conventional approaches in terms of both objective measurements and visual evaluation.

Railway turnout systems play a key role in railway systems that change train directions. The turnout systems are one of the weakest systems in railway systems, and consecutive maintenance is required. A turnout diagnostic system can automatically measure the turnout status and its deterioration. To diagnose the turnout systems, we follow conventional maintenance procedures and need to identify their physical characteristics to coincide the procedures and the characteristics. According to the physical characteristics, we should choose and install adequate sensors on the turnout systems to measure their physical characteristics. We studied the phenomenon of the turnout system responses for point moving and train running on the turnout systems. We installed sensors on the turnout system in a revenue line to measure the identified physical quantities and to reveal the robustness of the sensors under the turnout system environment.

Dielectric thin film mirrors are embedded in multimode and single-mode fibers by a fusion splicing technique. The fibers with $45{\circ}$ angled embedded mirrors serve as ultra-compact directional couplers with low excess optical loss of 0.2 dB for multimode and 0.5 dB for single mode at 1.3 ${\mu}m$ and excellent mechanical properties. The reflectance is wavelength dependent and strongly polarization depencient. Far-field scans of the reflected output power measured with a white-light source show a pattern which is almost circularly symmetric with aspect ratio of 1.09 at 5% of the peak power. The splitting ratio in a multimode coupler measured with a diode laser source is much less dependent on input coupling conditions than in conventional fused biconical-taper couplers, indicating that these couplers are less susceptible to modal noise occuring in optical fiber communication systems. Spectral properties of multilayer internal mirrors normal to the fiber axis have been investigated experimentally, and a matrix analysis has been used to explain the results.

The implementation of a BTS(Base station Transceiver) for WLL system using W-CDMA(Wideband-Code Division Multiple Access) method is presented in this paper. It consists of three boards; receiver, transmitter and RF controller. Some RF parameters are considered and simulated by the RF simulation S/W using commercial and customized components specifications. The implemented transceiver of 5 MHz RF channel bandwidth satisfies the system requirements of a transceiver such as dynamic range, sensitivity in the receiver and spurious emission suppression in the transmitter. At the receiver, the experimental measurement showed 2.86 dB of NF and 60 dB above of dynamic range in AGC(Automatic Gain Control) locking. At the transmitter, the -49.46 dBc of spurious emission suppression is attained when the output power of the transmitter is 34.3 dBm. These results are good enough to meet to standard performance specifications.

Based on the radio wave measurement of korean ocean-based DGPS by season, in this paper, the service coverages of ocean-based DGPS reference stations were analyzed according to the climate and season. The signal strengths and signal-to-noise ratios in the land service areas that are provided by ocean-based DGPS reference stations were measured. The ocean-based DGPS reference station except reference stations on the mountainous terrain and the low ground conductivity provide more than 68% service area in comparison with the designed land service coverage providing by the ocean-based DGPS reference stations. To provide the designed service area that is unrelated to a season, it is necessary to install and operate the DGPS reference station with good ground conductivity and high efficiency antenna. Also, the poor service regions which is generated by obstacles of electric wave on pathway can be resolved by the double service area providing by land-based DGPS reference stations.

A stereo vision system such as the structure of human's eyes has two cameras at separated positions from which we can obtain two input images and then put them together to create 3-D image. It can show more virtual effect than the conventional 2-D image system. But, the stereo image system has to control the convergence angle so that the stereo disparity could always be zero because observers can be fatigued and unconscious of stereo image in conditions that the stereo disparity is not zero for a long work. Therefore, in the paper, optical JTC system which can process adaptive tracking of a specific moving object is proposed as a new approach to keep the stereo disparity to be zero. In this method, optical JTC system obtains the values of the relative locations of a moving objects in left and right images and then these values are used for maintaining the stereo disparity to be zero. Through some optical experiments the proposed stereo vision system is proved to be insensitive to background noises and operate in real-time.
