This paper presents a technology for manipulating external devices by Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system. Recently, BCI based rehabilitation and assistance system for disabled people, such as patient of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), general paralysis, and so on, is attracting tremendous interest. Especially, electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is used to organize the BCI system by analyzing the signals, such as evoked potential. The general findings of neurophysiology support an availability of the EEG-based BCI system. We concentrate on the event-related synchronization of motor imagery EEG signal, which have an affinity with an intention for moving control of external device. To analyze the brain activity, short-time Fourier transform and particle swarm optimization are used to optimal feature selection from the preprocessed EEG signals. In our experiment, we can verify that the power spectral density correspond to range mu-rhythm(${\mu}8$~12Hz) have maximum amplitude among the raw signals and most of particles are concentrated in the corresponding region. Result shows accuracy of subject left hand 40% and right hand 38%.

The sensorless control based on the flux linkage of PM synchronous motors has excellent position estimation characteristics at low speeds. However, a limitation arises because the integrator of flux estimator is saturated by the DC offset generated during the analog to digital conversion(ADC) process of the measured current. In order to overcome this limitation, HPF with a low cutoff frequency is used. However, the estimation performance is deteriorated (Ed- the verb deteriorate already includes the meaning of 'problem') at high speed due to the low cutoff frequency, and increasing the cutoff frequency of the HPF induces further problems of phase leading and initial starting failure at low speeds. In this paper, the cutoff frequency of HPF was synchronized to the operation frequency of the motor: at low speeds the cutoff frequency was set to low in order to reduce the phase leading of the estimated flux, and at high speeds it was set to high to raise the DC offset removal performance. As a result, the operating range was increased by 200%. Furthermore, a phase compensation algorithm is proposed to reduce the phase leading of the HPF to less than 1.5 degrees over the full operating range. The proposed sensorless control algorithm was verified by experiment with a PM synchronous motor for a washing machine.

The present paper describes an experimental work to investigate a transonic resonance in supersonic jet that is discharged from a convergent-divergent nozzle. When the nozzle m: at low nozzle pressure ratios, the shock occurs within the divergent section of the nozzle. The transonic resonance of a jet flow is generated by an emission of strong acoustic tones due to the unsteadiness of the shock. A Schlieren optical system is used to visualize the supersonic jet flow In order to specify the flow resonance of a jet, acoustic measurements are performed to obtain noise spectra. The acoustic characteristics of transonic resonace are compared with those of screech tones. The results obtained show that unlike screech frequency, the transonic reso- nace frequency somewhat increases with increasing the nozzle pressure ratio.

A signal receiving system can measure and analyze frequency, pulse modulation, scan modulation, frequency modulation on pulse, phase modulation on pulse of RF signal. A signal receiving system should be verified under simulated RF signal environment prior to verification on operation in fields. This paper describes an effective method to generate simulated RF signals with considering operational scenario. The simulated RF signal generator can be effectively used to evaluate the performance of the signal receiver and reduce the test cost of the signal receiver.

In this research, with the FEM we analyzed the variation of the sound pressure and thermal distribution of a Class IV Flextensional transducer in relation to its material properties and structures. Based on the results, we determined optimal structure of a Class IV Flextensional transducer that had maximum sound pressure, minimum thermal distribution, and 1 kHz resonance frequency. The sound pressure by the optimal structure is higher than that of the basic structure by two times, and the thermal distribution is much lower. Results of the present work can be utilized to design Class IV Flextensional transducers of various resonance frequency, maximum sound pressure, and minimum thermal distribution.

This paper describes a technique that can predict electric fires by detecting a spark signal generated from operation of electric facilities. An electric fire lead a loss of life as well as huge property, therefore it is very Important to predict an electric fire and eliminate the causes of it. Electrical spark which is ranked as majority causes of electric fires has a characterized frequency bandwidthdistinguishedfrompowerfrequenry. In the experiment, various spark signals are simulated in a condition such as short circuit, flashover and surface discharge. The results showed that the monitoring of spark signals can predict electric fires.

Thrust force induced by the dielectric barrier discharge inside of cylinder pipes is measured for various conditions. The input peak-to-peak voltage and frequency are varied from 2 to 9 kVpp and from 5 to 15 kHz, respectively. The height of cylinder is varied from 50 to 100 mm. The results of the measurements show that the magnitude of the generated thrusts increases as the voltage and the frequencies increase. It also shows that the generated thrusts are decreased according to the increase in the height of the cylinder. The cause of the thrust decrease is discussed in terms of energy losses due to the frictions on the wall surface.

최근들어 전력수요와 상시 전력공급이 요구되는 시설이 증가함에 따라 독립적으로 전력을 공급할 수 있는 상용 또는 비상용발전기가 많이 이용되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 소형 발전시스템에는 디젤엔진이나 터빈 엔진에 발전기를 연결하여 전력을 공급하는 코젠 시스템(co-generation system)이 주로 이용된다[1]. 일반적으로 코젠시스템은 운전중에 매우 높은 수준의 소음이 발생되므로 건물 주변이나 사람의 왕래가 잦은 곳에 설치되는 경우에 필히 소음저감을 위한 대책이 필요하게 된다[2,3]. 본 사례는 대형놀이시설의 전력공급용으로 설치된 옥내(발전실내)의 상용/비상용 발전기(3600 KW 디젤엔진 2대)에서 발생한 상당량의 소음이 놀이시설주변까지 전달되어, 소음원 및 그 전달경로를 규명하고 대책을 수립한 내용이다. 놀이시설의 개장을 앞두고 소음문제가 발생되었기 때문에 신속하고 현실적인 해결책의 적용이 요구되었으므로 발전기 및 발전실 주변의 소음레벨 및 주파수특성의 분석을 통하여 주소음원을 규명하는 방법을 택했다. 분석결과로부터 주 소음원은 엔진 배기구에서 발생되는 저주파수 특성을 갖는 소음으로 규명되었고, 그 주파수특성에 적합한 흡음 및 반사특성을 동시에 갖는 조합형 2차 소음기를 추가로 설치하여 발전실 주변소음레벨을 크게 저감할 수 있었다.
