This paper proposes a driving current control method for a back light unit (BLU), consisting of red, green, and blue (RGB) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), whereby an RGB optical sensor is used to check the output color stimulus variation to enable a time-stable color stimulus for light emission by the RGB LED BLU. First, to obtain the present color stimulus information of the RGB LED BLU, an RGB to XYZ transform matrix is derived to enable CIEXYZ values to be calculated for the RGB LED BLU from the output values of an RGB optical sensor. The elements of the RGB to XYZ transform matrix are polynomial coefficients resulting from a polynomial regression. Next, to obtain the proper duty control values for the current supplied to the RGB LEDs, an XYZ to Duty transform matrix is derived to calculate the duty control values for the RGB LEDs from the target CIEXYZ values. The data used to derive the XYZ to Duty transform matrix are the CIEXYZ values for the RGB LED BLU estimated from the output values of the RGB optical sensor and corresponding duty control values applied to the RGB LEDs for the present, first preceding, and second preceding sequential check points. With every fixed-interval check of the color stimulus of the RGB LED BLU, the XYZ to Duty transform matrix changes adaptively according to the present lighting condition of the RGB LED BLU, thereby allowing the RGB LED BLU to emit the target color stimulus in a time-stable format regardless of changes in the lighting condition of the RGB LEDs.

This paper provides an observer-based Η$\infty$ output feedback controller design method for descriptor systems with time-varying delay by just one LMI(linear matrix inequality) condition. The sufficient condition for the existence of controller and the controller design method are presented by perfect LMI approach which can be solved efficiently by convex optimization. The design procedure involves solving an LMI. Since the obtained condition can be expressed as an LMI form all variables including feedback gain and observer gain can be calculated simultaneously by Schur complement changes of variables, and singular value decomposition. Moreover, The proposed controller design algorithm can be extended to the observer-based robust Η$\infty$ output feedback controller design method for descriptor systems with parameter uncertainty and time delay. An example is given to illustrate the results.

정보통신 기술의 발전으로 지능형 자동차와 같은 미래형 고부가 가치 자동차 산업은 지속적인 성장이 기대된다. 그리고, 안전과 직결되는 차간 거리 계측은 다양한 종류의 센서에 의해 측정이 되고 있으며, 운전자 및 탑승자의 생명을 보호하고 있다. 다양한 차간 거리센서 중에서도 전방의 물체 인식 및 넓은 영역, 장거리에 대한 센싱은 레이저를 이용하여 구현할 수 있다. 본 논문은 자동차 뿐만 아니라, 지능형 자율 주행시 전방의 물체 인식 및 거리 계측 센서로 적용이 가능한 반도체 레이저의 설계 및 제작에 관해 소개한다. 반도체 레이저는 물질에 따라 각각 다른 파장대역의 광을 조사하고 있으며 이 레이저 빔은 물체에 맞고 부딪히면 반사되어 되돌아 오는 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 펄스 구동에 의해 단위 펄스당 출사되는 레이저는 전방 물체에 부딪혀 되돌아 오는 시간을 구하게 되면 레이저 광원에서 물체까지의 거리를 구할 수가 있게 된다. 여기서 펄스 레이저의 출력은 물체 감지가 가능한 거리의 정보를 가지고 있으며, 펄스로 구동될 때 반복 주파수 및 펄스 폭은 각각 거리계측 시간과 분해능을 결정하는 주요 요소가 된다. 따라서, 장거리 물체의 계측과 물체 식별 능력을 높이기 위해서는 반도체 레이저의 출력을 높이고 펄스폭을 줄여서 분해능을 향상하는 것이 필요하다. 또한, 물체 인식 또는 계측 시간을 빠르게 하기 위해서는 고속 주파수로 동작하게 되면 가능해 질 것이다. 본 논문은 1,550 nm 대역의 반도체 레이저를 제작하여 펄스 구동으로 출력과 펄스폭을 측정하였다. 또한, 보다 높은 전류에서 칩 단면의 열화를 방지하기 위한 기술을 적용하여 설계 및 제작된 레이저의 특성을 측정하여 향후, 지능형 자동차의 레이저 레이다(LIDAR)와 같은 응용분야에 많이 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, a performance evaluation model of the Multistage Interconnection Network(MIN) with the multiple-buffered crossbar switches is Proposed and examined. Buffered switch technique is well known to solve the data collision problem of the MIN. The proposed evaluation model is developed by investigating the transfer patterns of data packets in a switch with output-buffers. The performance of the multiple-buffered${\alpha}{\times}{\alpha}$ crossbar switch is analyzed. Steady state probability concept is used to simplify the analyzing processes, Two important parameters of the network performance, throughput and delay, are then evaluated, To validate the proposed analysis model, the simulation is carried out on a Baseline network that uses the multiple buffered crossbar switches. Less than 2% differences between analysis and simulation results are observed. It is also shown that the network performance is significantly improved when the small number of buffer spaces is given. However, the throughput elevation is getting reduced and network delay becomes increasing as more buffer spaces are added in a switch.

Linear GMR isolator which is profitable for transmitting analog signal was modeled and the output voltage and current in relation to the input current were investigated. GMR isolator modeling was divided into two parts, namely magnetic and electric parts. The flow chart of the modeling was drawn in which the MR curve of the spin valves were incorporated to obtain the electrical voltage output. For magnetic modeling, 3-dimensional model of planar coil was analyzed by FEM method to obtain the magnetic field strength corresponding to the input current. Coil efficiency of the planar coil having magnetic core layer was shown to have about 1.5 times larger than that of the coil without the magnetic core layer. The feedback coil current(output current) corresponding to the input coil current was calculated to be within ${\pm}$0.25 mA of the linear fitting function of I$\_$out/= I$\_$in/-5 mA. Also, the response time and output waveforms were obtained when the coil current was a rectangular waveform. The rise time and fall time was 6 ${\mu}\textrm{s}$, respectively when the slew rate of the op-amp was 0.3 V/${\mu}\textrm{s}$.

Two types of organic thin film solar cell devices with bulk hetero-junction (BHJ) structure were fabricated on plastic substrates using conjugated polymers of $PCDTBT:PC_{71}BM$ and $PTB7:PC_{71}BM$ blended as active channel layer. Time-variant characteristics of the organic thin film solar cell devices were investigated: short circuit current density ($J_{SC}$); open circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$); ; fill factor (FF); power conversion efficiency (PCE, ŋ). All the performance parameters were degraded by progress of the measurement time, while $V_{OC}$ showed the most drastic decrease with time. Possible factors to cause the time-variant alteration of performance parameters were discussed to be clarified.

본 실험은 1.5Kg 무게의 고기를 3가지 다른 내부온도(60$^{\circ}C$-rare, 70$^{\circ}C$-medium, 80$^{\circ}C$-well done)에 이르도록 3가지 다른 출력의 전자파(40%, 60%, 100%)로 조리시에 나타나는 고기의 조리조건(조리시간, 대기시간 및 대기시 상승온도)과 고거의 물리 화학적인 변화(수분, 단백질, 지방, vit $B_1$의 함량, 콜라겐의 용해도, 보수력, texture)를 관찰하였다. 각 처리구 간에 Kg당 조리시간은 유의적인 차이를 나타내었으나 대기시간은 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 고기의 내부용도가 낮은 처리구일수록 긴 대기 시간이 요구되었다. 대기시 상승온도도 각 처리구 간에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 거의 모든 처리구에서 10도 이상의 상승온도가 관찰되었다. 고기의 내부온도가 상승할수록 조리시 중량손실도 증가되었고, 수분함량, 수분: 단백질의 비, 보수력, 비타민 $B_1$의 함량도 감소되었다. Texture를 측정한 항목들에서는 각 처리구간의 유의척인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 콜라겐의 용해도는 각 처리구간에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 내부온도 60$^{\circ}C$와 70$^{\circ}C$ 처리구 사이의 용해도는 뚜렷한 증가가 관찰되었다.

In this paper, the tracking of SFH/MFSK signals by using a paeallel correlator and a bank of BPF which is implemented by DFT recursively is studied. During symbol period, M-ary signal`s spectrum is analyzed by the step of n multiple of sampling period. The bank of BPF output which is stored for hop duration input to the parallel correlator. The time difference of the receiver and the transmitter is corrected by using sampling position and correlation time at which the largest output of correlator is generated. Syncronization signal detection rate and distribution of the largest output of correlator are evaluated by computer simulation in HF channel evironments for the performance analysis of proposed tracking method.

In this paper, a photorefractive crystal is utilized as an output device, specifically as a time integrating detector for an acousto-optic correlator. In a standard time integrating acousto-optic architecture which uses CCDs, the output correlation signal is presented which includes bias. This results in a limitation on the effective dynamic range of the correlator. In a photorefractive crystal, light without spatial variation does not produce a cumulative bias signal and hence when the photorefractive crystal is used as the integrating detector, the correlation signal can be recorded and read out without bias. Important characteristics such as linearity dynamic range and integration time are also presented in this paper.

The accurate estimation of segmental duration is crucial for natural-sounding text-to-speech synthesis. For predicting Korean segmental durations, conventional methods utilized phonemic context, part-of-speech context and locational information in prosodic phrase. In this paper, the tonal information of phonemes is employed for more accurate prediction. After defining two non-boundary tones and six boundary tones, we annotated the tonal label on each syllable of 400 sentences. To predict segmental duration using tonal information, we constructed neural networks with a real-valued output node predicting phonemic duration and trained them by backpropagation algorithm. Experimental results showed that the proposed features are effective for predicting Korean segmental durations, and we got 0.863 correlation coefficient of the observed durations and predicted ones.
