In this paper, an active capacitor-diode-switch (CDS) snubber is proposed for L-type current-fed isolated DC-DC converters. The proposed CDS-clamped converter has a number of advantages. It can achieve wide range zero-voltage switching (ZVS) on two switches, a continuous input current with a low ripple, a reduction of one active switch and high efficiency. The operating principles, analysis and parameter design guideline are presented. A 300 W prototype is built to test the proposed converter. Simulation and experimental results are shown at 30 V input voltage and 400 V output voltage.

A novel high step-up converter is presented herein, which combines the conventional buck-boost converter, the charge pump capacitor and the coupling inductor. By doing so, a quite high voltage conversion ratio due to not only the turns ratio but also the duty cycle, so as to increase design feasibility. It is noted that the denominator of the voltage conversion ratio is the square of one minus duty cycle. Above all, there is no voltage spike across the switch due to the leakage inductance and hence no passive or active snubber is needed, and furthermore, the used switch is driven without isolation and hence the gate driving circuit is relatively simple, thereby upgrading the industrial application capability of this converter. In this paper, the basic operating principles and the associated mathematical deductions are firstly described in detail, and finally some experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed high step-up converter.

This paper presents a novel topology for cascaded transformer sub-multilevel converter. Eachsub-multilevel converter consists of two DC voltage sources with six switches to achieve five-level voltage. The proposed topology results in reduction of DC voltage sources and switches number. Single phase low frequency transformers are used in proposed topology and voltage transformation and galvanic isolation between load and sources are given by transformers. This topology can operate as symmetric or asymmetric converter but in this paper we have focused on symmetric state. The operation and performance of the suggested multilevel converter has been verified by the simulation results of a single-phase nine-level multilevel converter using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Recently, Several type of motors are used more widely in Fan system because of their low cost and high reliability. Therefore, the importance of fault detection and isolation of fan system significantly increases. The motor is a important factor bring out the fan system fault. So the problem of a fault detection for motor based on a parameter identification will be considered in this paper. After an introduction into fault detection with parameter estimation, a mathematical model for motor with special emphasis on motor itself. In the fault detection system, current and motor speed are used as parameter. Finally, simulation results are used to demonstrate the efficiency of the fault detection system.

A double-role double through switch with defected ground structure (DGS) is Proposed. The equivalent circuit for the proposed switch structure is derived based on equivalent circuit of newly proposed DGS unit structure. The equivalent circuit parameters of DGS unit are extracted by using the circuit analysis method The on/off operation of the proposed switch Is obtained by varying the capacitance in the ground metallic plane The experimental results show excellent insertion loss characteristic at on state and isolation characteristic at off state.

Surface defects and bulk defects on SOI wafers are studied. Two new metrologies have been proposed to characterize surface and bulk defects in epitaxial layer transfer (ELTRAN) wafers. They included the following: i) laser scattering particle counter and coordinated atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Cu-decoration for defect isolation and ii) cross-sectional transmission electron microscope (TEM) foil preparation using focused ion beam (FIB) and TEM investigation for defect morphology observation. The size of defect is 7.29 urn by AFM analysis, the density of defect is 0.36 /cm$^2$ at as-direct surface oxide defect (DSOD), 2.52 /cm$^2$ at ox-DSOD. A hole was formed locally without either the silicon or the buried oxide layer (Square Defect) in surface defect. Most of surface defects in ELTRAN wafers originate from particle on the porous silicon.

This paper proposes a new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control algorithm for PV-Cell (Photo voltaic) based on Incremental Conductance MPPT algorithm. The ICN (Incremental Conductance method) algorithm is widely used due to the high tracking accuracy and adaptability to the rapidly changing isolation condition. In this paper, a modified ICN MPPT algorithm is proposed. This method adjusts automatically the step-size of reference to track the PV-Cell maximum power point, thus it improves the maximum power point tracking speed and accuracy.

The parity relation approach for the fault detection and isolation (FDI) of a large diesel engine actuator position servo system is presented. Main purpose of the FDI system is to detect and isolate two important faults, actuator fault and sensor fault, that, if not detected and compensated, degrade the overall system performance. Simulation results are given to show the practical applicability of the FDI scheme.

Hopfield networks have been applied to the problem of linear system identification. In this paper, Hopfield network based parameter identification scheme of non-linear dynamic systems is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that Hopfield network can be used effectively for the identification of non-linear systems assuming that the system states and their time derivatives are available. Therefore, the proposed scheme can be applied in fault detection and isolation(FDI) and adaptive control of non-linear systems where the Hopfield networks perform on-line identification of system parameters.

연구는 근육의 기능을 조절하는 신경말단에 전기적인 자극을 가하여 신경의 반응 정도를 측정하는 플랫폼 구현에 관란 연구로써, 전기 자극에 대한 신경반응이 가해지는 전류량, 가해진느 전류지속시간, 전극위치에 따른 반응을 측정하였다. 신경자극의 전극 위치는 표면 말단에 운동신경이면 어느 신경이든지 가능하고, 신경자극 양식에는 단순연축자극(Single Twitch Stimulation), 사연속자극(Train-of-four, TOF), 두 집단 발사자극(Double Burst Stimulation, DBS)이 있다. 임베디드 시스템기반으로 가기위한 저전력 MCU를 선정하고, 기본적인 신경자극반응 측정 센서의 민감도를 알아보기 위해 센서 인터페이스를 구성하여 반응정도를 측정해야 한다. 그리고 측정된 Data의 정확도를 높이기 위해 고성능의 AD Convertor 선정하여 플랫폼을 구현하였다. 또한 본 논문의 플랫폼은 의료기기용으로 개발되었기 때문에 시스템 이용자의 안전을 고려하여 전원회로 구성 시 전원 Isolation를 고려하여 설계하였다.
