In this paper, a design of the pulsewidth-modulation(PWM) neural network with both retrieving and learning function is proposed. In the designed PWM neural system, the input and output signals of the neural network are represented by PWM signals. In neural network, the multiplication is one of the most commonly used operations. The multiplication and summation functions are realized by using the PWM technique and simple mixed-mode circuits. Thus, the designed neural network only occupies the small chip area. By applying some circuit design techniques to reduce the nonideal effects, the designed circuits have good linearity and large dynamic range. Moreover, the delta learning rule can easily be realized. To demonstrate the learning capability of the realized PWM neural network, the delta learning nile is realized. The circuit with one neuron, three synapses, and the associated learning circuits has been designed. The HSPICE simulation results on the two learning examples on AND function and OR function have successfully verified the function correctness and performance of the designed neural network.

In this paper, we present the performances of a Doppler system using single channel RF(Radio Frequency) sampling. This technique consists of undersampling the ultrasonic blood backscattered RF signal on a single channel. Conventional undersampling method in Doppler imaging system have to use a minimum of two identical parallel demodulation channels to reconstruct the multigate analytic Doppler signal. However, this system suffers from hardware complexity and problem of unbalance(gain and phase) between the channels. In order to reduce these problems, we have realized a multigate pulsed Doppler system using undersampling on a single channel, It requires sampling frequency at $4f_o$(where $f_o$ is the center frequency of the transducer) and 12bits A/D converter. The proposed " single-Channel RF Sampling" method aims to decrease the required sampling frequency proportionally to $4f_o$/(2k+1). To show the influence of the factor k on the measurements, we have compared the velocity profiles obtained in vitro and in vivo for different intersequence delays time (k=0 to 10). We have used a 4MHz center frequency transducer and a Phantom Doppler system with a laminar stationary flow. The axial and volumetric velocity profiles in the vessel have been computed according to factor k and have been compared. The influence of the angle between the ultrasonic beam and the flow axis direction, and the fluid viscosity on the velocity profiles obtained for different values of k factor is presented. For experiment in vivo on the carotid, we have used a data acquisition system with a sampling frequency of 20MHz and a dynamic range of 12bits. We have compared the axial velocity profiles in systole and diastole phase obtained for single channel RF sampling factor.ng factor.

This paper presents the phase-shift full-bridge DC-DC converter using the one-chip micom. The proposed converter primary is the full-bridge power topology that operates with the unipolar pulse-width modulation (PWM) by the phase-shift method, and the secondary is the full-bridge full-wave rectifier composed of four diodes. The control of proposed converter is performed by the one-chip micom and its MOSFET switches are driven by the bootstrap circuit. Thus the total system of proposed converter is simple. The proposed converter achieves high-efficiency using the resonant circuit and blocking capacitor. In this paper, first, the power-circuit operation of proposed converter is explained according to each operation mode. And the power-circuit design method of proposed converter is shown, and the software control algorithm on the micom and the feedback and switch drive circuits operating the proposed converter are described, briefly. Then, the operation characteristics of proposed converter are validated through the experimental results of a designed and implemented prototype converter by the shown design and implementation method in this paper. The highest efficiency in the results was about 92%.

Countries such as the United States, Russia, and Europe are developing and operating UAVs for various purposes, including stealth UAVs. North Korea is also operating unmanned aerial vehicles, and it is presumed that it is continuously flying south of the demarcation line to obtain information on the national security zone, but it is difficult to detect and neutralize it effectively. Therefore, this paper analyzed the military UAV development trends and military radar specifications in Western countries such as the United States and communist countries such as Russia, China, and North Korea through literature research. In addition, based on the investigation of the AESA radar-based UAV response system in the country, not only general responses but also countermeasures such as direct strike and electromagnetic pulses to North Korean UAVs that cannot be jammed were suggested.

As meters become digital and smart, energy data such as electricity, gas, heat, and water can be accurately and efficiently measured with a smart meter, providing consumers with data on energy used, so that real-time demand response and energy management services can be utilized. Although it is developing from a simple metering system to a smart metering industry to create a high value-added industry fused with ICT, illegal counterfeiting of electronic meters is causing problems in intelligent crimes such as manipulation and hacking of SW. The meter not only allows forgery of the meter data through arbitrary manipulation of the SW, but also leaves a fatal error in the metering performance, so that the OIML requires the validation of the SW from the authorized institution. In order to solve this problem, a quantitative confirmation device was developed in order to eradicate the act of cheating the fuel oil quantity through encoder pulse operation and program modulation, etc. In order to prevent the act of deceiving the lubricator, a device capable of checking pulse forgery was developed, manufactured, and verified. In addition, the performance of the device was verified by conducting an experiment on the meter being used in the actual field. It is judged that the developed quantitative confirmation device can be applied to other flow meters other than lubricators, and in this case, accurate measurement can be induced.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the PMF in the treatment of acidosis and inflammation by monitoring the pH change for the continuity of PMF effect on the blood in the micro-circulation system that mimics the capillaries in the human body. Micro-tubes and micro-channels similar in diameter to those of arteries and arterioles were fabricated using PDMS and connected to a micro-pump for blood circulation. The continuity of PMF effect was verified in a micro-circulation system in-vitro. The pH changes for the circulating blood and for persistence time of PMF stimulus effect were confirmed using the optimized PMF conditions based on the previous studies. Also pH changes were observed by continuously stimulating PMF for a set period of time. The result was observed that the pH of the blood acidified using tBHP continued to rise from immediately after stimulation of PMF to 70 minutes of stimulation, reaching a normal pH range, and then decreasing. Our study showed that PMF has a positive effect on the control of blood pH homeostasis, so it is suggested the possibility of being used as a noninvasive treatment for acidosis treatment and anti- inflammatory treatment.

한국농어촌공사 농어촌연구원은 하천 및 해안분야의 다양한 수리모형실험을 수행할 수 있는 대형 수리모형실험 시설을 2018년에 구축완료하였다. 국내 최대 규모의 실험장뿐만 아니라 첨단 광학용 계측장비(PIV 및 LDV 시스템)를 연계한 전용실험수로, 대형유사실험수로 등 7종의 기능별 실험수로를 갖추고 있어 다양한 수리현상 분석을 수행할 수 있다. 최근에는 산사태의 주요 원인중 하나인 토석류 실험, 방조제 주변의 침·퇴적 실험 등을 수행하였으며, 본 연구에서는 3D 지형스캐너를 활용한 방조제 주변의 지형변동 수리모형실험에 대하여 소개를 하고자 한다. 방조제는 조수가 육지쪽으로 밀려들어와 내부개발지역이나 농지 등을 해수로부터 보호하기 위해 설치되는 외곽시설이다. 이러한 방조제 전면의 빠른 유속에 의한 침식은 배후지의 안전에 상당히 큰 문제를 야기시킨다. 방조제의 침식을 방지하기 위하여 방조제 전면에 수제공을 설치하여 수제공과 수제공 사이의 느려진 유속에 의해 방조제 전면에 토사를 퇴적시키는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 방조제 전면에 수제공의 길이를 달리 설치하여 수제공 주변의 침·퇴적현상을 이동상 실험을 수행하여 분석하였다. 일반적으로 토사의 침·퇴적고를 계측하는 방법으로 일정한 격자망을 구성하여 각 지점별로 실험 전·후의 토사의 표고차를 수작업으로 계측한다. 이 경우는 실험자가 직접 측정하는 계측오차가 발생하게 되고 측정할 수 있는 지점의 수가 한계가 있어 전체적인 토사의 변화양상을 분석하기엔 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 농어촌연구원이 보유하고 있는 3D 지형스캐너를 활용하여 토사의 표고차를 측정하였다. 실험에 사용한 3D 지형스캐너의 최대 측정거리는 스캐너가 설치된 중심점으로부터 반경 80m에 해당하며, 해상도는 1.6mm~50mm의 범위로 수작업으로 격자망을 구성하여 측정하는 것보다 상당히 높은 수준의 결과를 취득할 수 있으며 계측시간을 단축할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 펄스레이저에 의한 지형스캔 방식은 수면과 같이 레이저가 투과할 수 없는 경우에는 계측이 불가능하며, 어두운 계열의 색을 스캔하는 경우 결과 분석에 주의할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이동상 재료로 안트라사이트(검은색)를 포설하였고, 검은색 계열의 실험사에도 3D 지형스캐너가 우수한 결과를 제공하는 것을 확인하였다.
