Recently, many passenger cars have adopted automatic transmissions for shifting gears, and thus the smooth and precise control of gear shifts of passenger car automatic transmissions has become more and more essential for the riding comfort of vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In this article, a neural network-based supervisor for an automotive shift controller considering the throttle opening, variations in throttle opening, and the driving load is presented. For using the driving load information, an observer-based driving load estimation algorithm is proposed. A proportional-integral-derivative controller along with an open loop controller is used as a low level controller for controlling the gear shifts, and a supervisory controller for properly adapting the shift control parameters of the low level shift controller is designed using ANFIS. To evaluate the control performance of the proposed supervisor-based shift controller, both simulation studies and experimental studies are performed for various shifting situations.

A certain degree of energy saving can be possible by controlling the delay time of occupancy sensor. In this paper a control circuit is designed for automatic control of delay time setting appropriate to different situations using a digital counter, two latches and an adder. The delay time is controlled by adjusting the time constant of RC circuit through on-off control of switching devices according to adder output, which determines the base current level of switching devices. And from PSpice simulation it is verified to function properly.

Activated sludge sewage treatment processes are difficult to be controlled because of their complex and nonlinear behaviour, however, the control of the dissolved oxygen level in the reactors plays an important role in the operation of the facility. For this reason, this study is designed to present a system which accurately measures DO, MLSS, pH and ORP in the aeration tank to alleviate situations above and provide the automatization of a sewage treatment plant (STP) using new DO control system. The automatic control systems must be guaranteed the accuracy. Therefore, the proposed automatic DO control system in this study could be commercial applications in the aeration tanks by means of operating cost analysis and user-friendly for operation and maintenance. We could get accurate data from the lab tank which has water quality checker because there was no vortex and air bubble during the measurement process. Improvement of confidence in the lab tank enabled effective and automatic operation of sewage treatment plants so that operation costs and manpower could be saved. If this result is put in place in every sewage treatment plant nationwide for practical purposes, it is estimated to cost 18.5 million dollars in installing the lab tank and to save 9.8 million dollars in management cost a year, except for cost saved by automation.

생활수준이 점차 높아짐에 따라 환경문제에 대한 국민들의 관심과 인식 수준도 증가하였다. 최근 들어 실내 활동시간이 증가함에 따라 환경에 대한 인식과 개선에 대한 방안이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IoT 기반 기술을 이용하여 실시간으로 실내 환경에 대한 모니터링을 통해 환경정보를 수집하고 연동된 제어장치를 이용하여 실내 환경을 적정수준으로 유지하고 개선하는 시스템을 설계하고 개발하였다. 이는 기존의 수동적인 실내 환경개선 행위나 대규모 설비를 대신하여 가정이나 소규모 장소에서도 자동적인 실내 환경개선 시스템을 제공한다. 본 시스템은 공기 질과 CO2, 온도와 습도, 소음과 조도에 따른 상태분석과 함께 상대적 기준치를 적용하여 9가지의 상태에 따른 제어신호를 자동제어 모듈로 전송하여 실내 환경을 개선한다.

We introduce a high level synthesis methodlogoy for automatic synthesis of asynchronous circuits form a language based on CSP. The input language is a high level concurrent algorithmic specification that can model complex concurrent control flow, logical and arithmetic computation and communications between them. This specification is translated into petri net which has actions. These actions are refined to synthesize the controllers and to allocate the data resources. We use the automatic synthesis through signal transition graphs (STGs) that allows to take advantage of logic synthsis methods to optimize the circuit.

The dynamic range of the radar which uses digital signal processors is limited by ADC(analog- to-digital converter). This parameter and ADC loss depend on the noise level of radar receivers. In order to stabilize the performance of radar systems, it is necessary to maintain the noise level constantly. This paper presents a noise AGC(automatic gain control) concept that can keep the noise level constantly and proves that the concept is acceptable through evaluation and hardware test.

The UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller) controls the magnitude and phase of the series injected voltage to exchange the real and reactive power with transmission line. The UPFC consists of two inverters connected together through the DC link capacitor. This paper describes the detailed UPFC switching-level model. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) method is chosen to operate the inverters. Automatic voltage control mode and automatic power flow control mode is selected to control the UPFC. EMTP simulation is offered to obtain the basic operation characteristics of the UPFC and the dynamic characteristics of the UPFC is studied in detail.

Evaluation of radiating radiofrequency fields from hand-held and body-mounted wireless communication devices to human bodies are conducted by measuring the specific absorption rate (SAR). The uncertainty of system validation and probe calibration in SAR measurement depend on the variation of RF power used for the validation and calibration. RF input power for system validation or probe calibration is controlled manually during the test process of the existing systems in the laboratories. Consequently, a long time is required to reach the stable power needed for testing that will cause less uncertainty. The standard uncertainty due to this power drift is typically 2.89%, which can be obtained by applying IEC 62209 in a normal operating condition. The principle of the Automatic Input Power Level Control System (AIPLC), which controls the equipment by a program that maintains a stable input power level, is suggested in this paper. The power drift is reduced to less than ${\pm}1.16dB$ by AIPLC, which reduces the standard uncertainty of power drift to 0.67%.

The paper presents the main results of computational and experimental optimization of the automatic power control system (AC) of the IBR-2M pulsed reactor in the presence of a high level of oscillatory instability. Optimization of the parameters of the AC made it possible to significantly reduce the influence of random and deterministic oscillations of reactivity on the noise of the pulse energy, as well as to sharply reduce the manifestation of the oscillatory instability of the reactor. As a result, the safety and reliability of operation of the reactor has increased substantially.

About a half of Electric power is generated by nuclear power plants in korea. So, the stable operation of nuclear power plant is very important for suppling the essential national electric power. A S/G(Steam Generator) level control is the most difficult system in PWR(Pressurized Water Reactor) nuclear power plant. Because of the non-linear and the non-nominal response of S/G level control, it Is very difficult to control the level by automatic mode or manual mode. The goal of this study is to establish and verify a advanced control algorithm by analyzing, modelling, stability calculation, controller parameter calculation, simulation for S/G level control system.
