A 500Wh class high-speed Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) driven by a built-in BLDC motor/generator has been designed, which runs from 30000 to 60000rpm nominally. Due to the motor/generator inside, the flywheel rotor made of composites supported by PM/EM hybrid bearing system has a shape of bell or pendulum and thus requires accurate rotordynamic analyses and prediction of its dynamic behavior to secure the operating reliability. Rotordaynamic analyses of the flywheel rotor-bearing system revealed that the bell shaped rotor has two conical rigid-body modes in the system operating range and the first conical mode, of which nodal point lies in the radial EM bearing position, can adversely affect the dynamic response of the rotor at the corresponding critical speed. To eliminate the possibility of wild behavior of the rotor, two guide bearings are adopted at the upper end of the rotor and motor/generator. It was also revealed that the EM bearing stiffness of 0.5~1.0E+6 N/m and damping of 2000 Ns/m are favorable for smooth operation of the system around the 2nd critical speed.

The EM(Engineering Model) VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is nonlinear designed for LO(Local Oscillator) of Ka-band satellite transponder. The microstripline coupled with dielectric resonator is implemented as a high impedance inverter to improve the phase noise, and the quality factor of resonant circuit can be transferred to active device with the enhanced loaded quality factor. The developed VCO has the oscillating tuning range of 9.7965~9.8032 GHz for the control voltage range of 0~12 V. This VCO requires the DC power of 8 V and 17 mA. The phase noise characteristics are -96.51 dBc/Hz @10 KHz and -116.5 dBc/Hz @100 KHz, respectively. And, the output power of 7.33 dBm is measured.

In this paper, we present the simulation results of multi-layer VCO(voltage controlled oscillator), which is composed of resonator, oscillator, and buffer circuit, using EM simulator and nonlinear RF circuit simulator. EM simulator is used for obtaining the EM(Electromagnetic) characteristics of conductor pattern as well as designing the multi-layer VCO. Obtained EM characteristics were used as real components in nonlinear RF circuit simulation. Finally the overall VCO was simulated by the nonlinear RF circuit simulator. The material for the circuit pattern was Ag and the dielectric was Dupont 951AT, which will be applied for LTCC process. The structure of multi-layer VCO is constructed with 4 conducting layer. Simulated results showed that the output level was about 4.5 [dBm], the phase noise was -104 [dBc/Hz] at 30 [kHz] offset frequency, the harmonics -8 dBc, and the control voltage sensitivity of 30 [MHz/V] with a DC current consumption of 9.5 [mA]. The size of VCO is $6{\times}9{\times}2 mm$(0.11 [cc]).

In this paper, a gain-adapted speech recognition method in noise is developed in the time domain. Noise is assumed to be colored. To cope with the notable nonstationary nature of speech signals such as fricative, glides, liquids, and transition region between phones, the nonstationary autoregressive (NAR) hidden Markov model (HMM) is used. The nonstationary AR process is represented by using polynomial functions with a linear combination of M known basis functions. When only noisy signals are available, the estimation problem of noise inevitably arises. By using multiple Kalman filters, the estimation of noise model and gain contour of speech is performed. Noise estimation of the proposed method can eliminate noise from noisy speech to get an enhanced speech signal. Compared to the conventional ARHMM with noise estimation, our proposed NAR-HMM with noise estimation improves the recognition performance about 2-3%.

The noise prediction of motor driving system is one of the most important parts in EV/HEV, as the number of power electronic devices increases. This paper describes the mechanism of noise making process and proposes a simulation model of motor driving system for the prediction of the conducted noise. Theoretical calculations and model based simulations were carried out. DOD-dependent-battery parameters were extracted by AC analysis, and an inverter model including dynamic diode was used. Furthermore, 2-D EM tool was used for the motor modeling and was combined with the circuit models of battery and inverter. The simulated voltages, currents and spectrums in the motor driving system showed qualitatively meaningful results, suggesting the validness of the suggested modeling methods.

Non-explosive shockless holding and release mechanism for a nano class small satellite application has been proposed and investigated. The great advantages of the mechanism are a much lower shock level and larger constraint force than the conventional mechanism using pyro and the heating wire cutting mechanism which has been generally applied to the cube satellite program. To investigate the effectiveness of the mechanism design, EM mechanism was developed and tested to verify the basic function of the mechanism. The test results indicate that the proposed mechanism is well functioning as the mechanism design intends.

The Track geometry measuring on High-speed railway is the most important subject for the track construction and track maintenance work. Also the measuring accuracy is so significant part because it provides principle data for the maintenance plan and the assesment of working quality and can control the train speed limitation. From this point of view, it is very important to verify for the track recording coach(EM120) in KNR. According to the result of spectrum analysis, the noise near 1m waveband was found on the track recording data from EM120. So, New filter has been applied to remove the noise form track recording data. and it makes possible to acquire resembling result to real track geometry.

A speech enhancement algorithm which attenuates nonstationary colored noise is presented In this paper. The algorithm consists of a stationary Kalman filter and the simple speech/nonspeech detector. While the conventional enhancement systems are focused on a stationary and/or white background noise, this study Is focused on the mort realistic nonstationary and nonwhite noise. An AR model-based vector Kalman filter is used as a noise suppression system and a short-time energy threshold logic is used as a speech/nonspeech classifier. For Kalman filtering. noise coefficients are estimated in the nonspeech frame, and speech coefficients are estimated by applying the EM iteration algorithm. Simulation results using the car noise are presented based on the signal-to-noise ratio and informal listening tests. According to the experimental results, background noises in the nonspeech frames are eliminated almost completely, while some distortions are noticed in the speech frames. The distortion becomes severer as the SNR is reduced to 0dB and -5dB. Intelligibility, however, is not degraded significantly.
