We have analyzed a combined cycle employing refrigerant Rankine cycle and simple refrigeration cycle with one working fluid. Although this cycle shows promising aspects such as simplicity, it does not have a good efficiency to compete with the other existing technologies because of high temperature at the exit of the turbine. However, by introducing a recuperator, it is found that the cycle efficiency can be improved up to the level much higher than other technology＇s efficiency.

URC는 기존 로봇에 네트워크 및 정보 기술을 접목한 지능형 서비스 로봇의 새로운 개념으로서, 언제, 어디서나 나와 함께 하며, 나에게 필요한 서비스를 제공하는 네트워크기반 로봇이다. URC 개념이 구현되기 위해서는 유비쿼터스 네트워크 또는 센서 네트워크, 고성능 로봇용 서버 등과 같은 하드웨어 인프라가 구축되어 있어야 하며, 이러한 인프라 상에서 구동되는 소프트웨어 인프라가 필요하다. 본 고에서는 URC의 소프트웨어 인프라의 구현에 요구되는 많은 기술 중 특히 상황인식 컴퓨팅 기술에 대해 논의하고 ETRI에서 개발중인 상황인식 미들웨어인 CAMUS에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

포항제철 2열연공장의 사상압연에 사용되고 있는 DC 모터를 가지는 열간압연 구동기에 대한 견실 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계방법을 제안한다. 기존에는 PI 재어기법을 이용하여 속도를 제어하고 있으므로 불확실성과 외란등이 존재할 경우 양호한 제어 성능을 얻기 힘들다. 이를 해결하기 위해 주파수 하중 함수를 가지는 혼합감도최소화 문제를 설정하여 견실성을 보장하는 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기를 설계한다. 이때 주파수 하중함수는 루프쉐이핑기법을 이용하여 주어진 구동기 플랜트에 적합하도록 선택한다. H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계는 Pasek이 제시한 DC 모터의 모델링 방법에 의해 얻어진 모델을 포함하는 구동기 모델에서 속도제어기 부분을 제외한 모델을 대상으로 한다. 제안한 견실 속도제어기 설계방법은 파라미터 변화나 부하토크 변동 등의 외란에 대하여 폐루프 시스템의 견실안정성과 원하는 속도에 좋은 추적 성능을 보인다. 제어 대상인 포항제철 2열연공장의 열간압연 구동기에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 기준속도 추적성, 응답속도, 불확실성과 외란에 대한 견실성 등의 성능에 기존의 PI 속도제어기보다 양호함을 확인함으로써 제안한 견실 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계 방법의 타당성을 보인다.

In this paper, we designed a thermal shutdown block for LED applications using a 1 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The proposed thermal shutdown protection circuit has been designed with a shut-off temperature of $120^{\circ}C$ and a restart temperature of $90^{\circ}C$ which are suitable conditions for LED driver IC. Also, we got SPICE simulation results of the circuit about process variation of the semiconductor fabrication. From simulation data, process variation rate of the proposed circuit are within 7 % which are good results compared with conventional BJT current mirror type circuit. Finally, we confirmed that the thermal shutdown circuit has good thermal protection function within a LED driver IC.

Polishing a die that has free-form surfaces is a time-consuming and tedious job, and requires a considerable amount of high-precision skill. In order to reduce the polishing time and cope with the shortage of skilled workers, an automatic polishing robot system was developed. The polishing robot system is composed of two subsystems, a three-axis machining center and a two-axis polishing head. The machining center is controlled by a FANUC controller, and the polishing head by DSP controller. The system has five degrees of freedom and is able to keep the polishing tool normal to the die surface during operation. To easily operate the developed polishing robot system, this study developed an integrated operating program in the Windows environment. The program consists of five modules: a polishing data generation module, a code separation module, a polishing module, a graphic simulator module, and a teaching module. And, the automatic teaching system was developed to easily obtain teaching data and it consists of a three dimensional joystick and a proximity sensor. Also, to evaluate the performance of the integrated operating program and the polishing robot system, polishing experiments of a die of shadow mask were carried out.

POSTECH Graduate School of Wind Energy is trying to upgrade the PMSG used for Unison U50 to 900 kW class. Intensive optimization efforts are carried out the reduce the axial size and total weight of the generator while increasing the rated output to 900 kW. The generator features 3.32m stator inner radius, 671mm stator length, 84 pole, 25 rated rpm and 31.6kN/$m^2$ shear force density. To reduce the gross weight, the stronger magnetic material is applied with optimal magnet size resulting lowest cogging torque. Also, instead of stator skewing the stator, the magnet position along the circumference is optimized to further reduce the cogging torque. This scheme eliminates the stator skewing procedure and may enhance the productivity. This method also reduces the total harmonic distortion. In this report, upgrade method, no-load line to line voltage and phase voltage, cogging torque, loss calculations and thermal analysis are presented.

This paper describes a human finger model driven by shape memory alloy(SMA) wires. The finger model has three joints that are similar to human finger. Each joint is actuated with two wires in the antagonistic manner and six wires are used to actuate three finger joint. In order to obtain the desirable finger motion, the diameters of the SMA wires are designed with different diameters by considering the required actuating force and response time. The rotary sensors are used to measure the angle positions of the joints and PWM control using PID algorithm is used to achieve desired angle positions of the finger joints. After estimating the control performance of each finger joint for the desired angle position, the antagonistic motion control of the finger model is experimentally evaluated.

Respiratory motion in the thorax and abdomen is an important limiting factor in high-precision radiation therapy. The lung tumor and tumor(pancreas, stomach) in abdomen therefore are internal motion due to breathing. We will perform to measurement of dose distributions for these moving tumors. In preliminary study, we investigated displacement of moving tumor such as liver, lung tumor in abdomen with previously reported papers. With reference data, internal movements of tumor are displayed with phantom and moving control device(MCD), which appear three dimension (3-D) motion such as x, y and z axis. These devices are used to access dose delivered in tumor with and without internal motion. The MCD and phantom were used to evaluate a delivered dose under similar condition, although there are not same internal tumor motion. In future, we will obtain the exact evaluation of dose if improved in programed software of moving control device and measure precise internal motion using image modality such as fluoroscopy, simulator in based on this study.

This study was initiated to solve the difficulties of aged and female workers in agriculture society due to aging and demise of young people. In the case of the conventional elevated lift, the risk of exposure to uneven road or work environment, not the difficulty of professional qualification and operation, and the risk of exposure to the uneven road or working environment, were also studied based on previous researches so that women could easily and efficiently perform productive agriculture. First, the simulation was carried out through the prediction model of traction performance using the object of agricultural forklift, and the soil of the Kimhae city in Gyeongnam (34.125kPa, internal friction angle 35.294deg, external friction angle 13.620deg, Adhesion force 5.750 kPa, average cone index 0-15 cm cl, 1001.8 kPa). In the case of the forklift for simulation, the driving force and the kinetic resistance prediction modeling of the agricultural electric forklift are modeled. Based on this model, the motor control drive adopts the 1232E model, which is a drive dedicated to AC motor, and divides the two drivers into master and slave And the model for the simulation was designed to control motor drive, hydraulic drive, and various outputs on the main PCB. The simulation model is undergoing continuous simulation, modification and supplementation. Based on this research, we will continue research for development of safer and more efficient agricultural electric forklift.

In this paper, we have developed a ZVS half-bridge converter with a clamping circuit for the DC power source of PDP circuit. The clamping circuit in the developed converter reduces the oscillating current of the switch by resonant inductor and parasitic parameters in output rectifier diodes. Finally, comparing the experimental results of the developed converter to the conventional ZVS half-bridge converter, it is clarified that the developed converter is more efficient and lower noise than the conventional one.
