This study introduces a model predictive control method for controlling a cascaded flying capacitor multilevel rectifier used as an AC-DC rectifier of a solid-state transformer for DC distribution systems. The proposed method reduces the number of states that need to be considered in model predictive control by separately controlling input current, output DC link voltage, and flying capacitor voltage. Thus, calculation time is shortened to facilitate the level expansion of the cascaded flying capacitor multilevel rectifier. The selection of weighting factors did not present difficulties because the weighting factors in the cost function of the conventional model predictive control are not used. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through computer simulation using powersim and experiment.

In this paper, a novel platform for chemical sensing and biosensing is presented. The working principle is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multimode interference coupler (MMIC). It has been realized using planar technology to allow integration on a silicon substrate. Firstly, the dispersion curves of DC and MMIC is described, and the design specification of an optimized slot optical waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the refractive index change of sensing analyte is numerically simulated. The numerical results reveal that high effective index change per refractive index unit (RIU) change of analyte is obtained, and the sensitivity can be tuned using the DC and MMIC design technique.

An isolated feedback method for measuring the inverter DC-link voltage is proposed. This method provides a simple and economical solution to inverter control systems that use a flyback converter as a controller power supply. In the proposed method, data on the DC-link voltage are acquired when the primary side voltage appears on the secondary side of the flyback transformer, thereby eliminating the need to adopt an extra signal isolation method. To solve the non-synchronization problem between the flyback converter switching and main controller sampling, the external interrupt function of the micro-controller is used as a trigger signal for the A/D conversion.

In many medical image devices, dc noise often prevents normal diagnosis. In wireless capsule endoscopy systems, multipath fading through indoor wireless links induces inter-symbol interference (ISI) and indoor electric devices generate impulsive noise in the received signal. Moreover, dc noise, ISI, and impulsive noise are also found in optical fiber communication that can be used in remote medical diagnosis. In this paper, a blind signal processing method based on the biased probability density functions of constant modulus error that is robust to those problems that can cause error propagation in decision feedback (DF) methods is presented. Based on this property of robustness to error propagation, a DF version of the method is proposed. In the simulation for the impulse response of optical fiber channels having slowly varying dc noise and impulsive noise, the proposed DF method yields a performance enhancement of approximately 10 dB in mean squared error over its linear counterpart.

This paper is the research on the development of power conversion system for the fuel cell. In composing the DC/DC converters which have high boost voltage ratio, unlike the conventional method a new multi DC/DC converter system is proposed that the diode and the condenser and the reactor can be reduced by connecting the secondary side output of the transformer. In this system the rectifier part and the filter part of the secondary side in the power transformer that is connecting in series are composed into a single module, which is the strong advantage and the number of level can be easily increased. A new variable shift phase switching method is also suggested that it makes possible to reduce the output voltage ripples in the proposed system. All the factors mentioned above have been verified through simulations and experiments, and the proposed converter is considered very useful in the demanded load which requires a wide of the output.

In this paper, the Interleaved AC/DC boost converter using two inductor with voltage-doubler characteristic when it operates with a duty cycle greater than 0.5 is proposed. Generally, the low-line(Input AC 110[V]) operation of the AC/DC boost converter is much less efficient than high-line (Input AC 220[V]) operation. The proposed Interleaved AC/DC boost converter operates as a voltage doubler at low-line. Its low-line range have higher power factor and improved efficiency compared with that of conventional converter. This research proposed the Interleaved AC/DC boost converter for voltage-doubler characteristic. The principle of operation, feature and design considerations is illustrated and the validity of verified through the experiment with a 300[W] based experimental circuit.

This paper proposes a DC-DC boost converter for wearable AMOLED display using dead time controller to reduce dead time and improve power efficiency. Also the DC-DC boost converter adopts PWM-SPWM (set-time variable pulse width modulation) dual-mode to enhance power efficiency under light load and decrease output voltage ripple. The proposed circuit has been designed using $0.18{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process. Simulation results show that the circuit has power efficiency of 39%~96% and output ripple voltage of 2 mV under load current range of 1 mA~70 mA. The power efficiency of the proposed circuit is up to 2% higher than the previous PWM-SPWM method and up to 8% higher than only PWM method.

The objective of present study was to ascertain genetic diversity for cattle parentage testing. A total of 59 random cattle samples(29 Korean native cattle and 30 dairy cows) were genotyped by using 11 microsatellite loci(BM1824, BM2113, ETH10, ETH225, EH3, INRA23, SPS115, TGLA122, TGLA227, TGLA53, and TGLA126). This method consisted of multiplexing PCR procedure and showed reasonable amplification of all PCR products. Genotyping was performed with an ABI 310 genetic analyzer. The number of alleles per locus varied from 5 to 11 with a mean value of 6.73 in the Korean native cattle(KNC), 4 to 9 with a mean of 5.91 in dairy cows(DC). Expected heterozygosity was ranged 0.534~0.855(mean 0.732), 0.370~0.866(mean 0.692) in the KNC and DC, respectively. PIC value was ranged 0.485~0.821(mean 0.684), 0.336~0.834(mean 0.640) in the KNC and DC, respectively. Of the 11 markers, 7 markers(ETH10, EH3, INRA23, SPS115, TGLA122, TGLA227, TGLA53) and 3 markers(INRA23, TGLA227, TGLA53) have relatively high PIC value (>0.7) in the KNC and DC, respectively. The total exclusion probability of 11 microsatellite loci was 0.9997 and 0.9991 in the KNC and DC, respectively. These results present basic information for developing a system for parentage verification and individual identification in the KNC and DC.

본 논문에서 설계한 3kW급 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터는 전기 버스의 주 동력원인 고전압 배터리로부터 차량의 전장시스템에 저전압 전원을 공급한다. 이 전력변환에는 고전압 배터리측과 저전압 배터리측의 절연이 반드시 필요하기 때문에 고주파 변압기를 사용한 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터가 일반적으로 사용된다. 따라서 ZVS 동작이 가능한 위상천이 방식의 풀-브리지 컨버터를 선정하였다. 본 논문에서 사용된 전력변환장치는 차량시스템에 적용하기 적합한 프리스케일사의 32-Bit DSP인 MPC5553 기반의 제어기를 이용한 실험을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.
