A criterion for evaluation of burners has changed recently, and the environmental problems are raised as a global issue. Burners with higher thermal efficiency and lower oxygen in the exhaust gas, evaluated better. To comply with environmental regulations, burners must satisfy the $NO_x$ and CO regulation. Consequently. 'good burner' means one whose thermal efficiency is high under the constraint of $NO_x$ and CO consistency. To make existing burner satisfy recent criterion, it is highly recommended to develop a feedback control scheme whose output is the consistency of $NO_x$ and CO. This paper describes the development of a real time flame diagnosis technique that evaluate and diagnose the combustion states, such as consistency of components in exhaust gas, stability of flame in the quantitative sense. In this paper, it was proposed on the flame diagnosis technique of burner using Neuro- Fuzzy algorithm. This study focuses on the relation of the color of the flame and the state of combustion. Neuro- Fuzzy learning algorithm is used in obtaining the fuzzy membership function and rules. Using the constructed inference algorithm, the amount of $NO_x$ and CO of the combustion gas was successfully inferred.

본 연구에서는 자기부상시스템에 대해 흡인식 자기부상방식을 채택하고 쇠구슬에 대한 운동을 상하 1자유도로 가정하여 운동방정식을 세운다. 이때 전자석이 자기 부상력은 전자석에 흐르는 전류와 인덕턴스의 함수라 가정하고, 모델의 불확실성은 자기부상계의 운동 방정식으로부터 선형화 할 때 발생하는 오차 및 파라미터 변동으로 생각한다. 또한 모델의 불확실성이 존재하더라도 정상편차 없이 부상하는 서보제어계를 설계한다. 그런데 저자등은 강인성 문제 및 정상편차 없는 것에 역점을 두어 H$_{\infty}$ 제어이론에 기초한 1형 로바스트 서보 제어기를 구하여 자기부상 시스템의 안정화 제어계로써 적용한 적이 있다. 이때 중심해 이외의 해를 이용하여 설계한 서보 제어계는 자기부상계의 과도상태시에 일어나는 오버슈트를 줄일 수 없었다. 따라서 시스템 내부 안정화를 위하여 H$_{\infty}$ 제어이론에 의해 설계된 피드백(feedback) 제어기와 물체가 부상할 때 오버슈트를 줄이고 제어량이 목표치에 잘 추종하기 위해 설계된 피드 포워드(feed forward) 제어기로써 2자유도를 갖는 제어계를 설계한다. 이렇게 설계한 2자유도 제어계를 가지고 모의 응답실험과 본 연구자들이 만든 자기부상 시스템의 실험결과를 비교함으로써 설계된 제어기의 타당성을 조사한다.

The measurement of unsteady flow rate is of vital importance to clarify and improve the dynamic characteristics in pipeline, hydraulic components and system. There is also demand for a real time flow sensor of ability to measure unsteady flow rate with high accuracy and fast response to realize feedback control of flow rate in fluid power systems. In this paper, we propose an approach for estimating unsteady flow rate through a pipeline and components under high pressure condition. In the method, unsteady flow rate is estimated by using hydraulic pipeline dynamics and the measured pressure values at two distant points along the pipeline. The distributed parameter model of hydraulic pipeline is applied with consideration of frequency dependent viscosity friction and unsteady velocity distribution at a cross section of a pipeline. By using the self-checking functions of the method, the validity is investigated by comparison with the measured and estimated pressure waveforms at the halfway section on the pipeline. The results show good agreement between the estimated flow rate waveforms and theroetical those under unsteady laminar flow conditions. the method proposed here is useful in estimating unsteady flow rate through an arbitray cross section in hydraulic pipeline and components without installing an instantaneous flowmeter.

Differential power processing (DPP) systems are among the most effective architectures for photovoltaic (PV) power systems because they are highly efficient as a result of their distributed local maximum power point tracking ability, which allows the fractional processing of the total generated power. However, DPP systems require a high-efficiency, high step-up/down bidirectional converter with broad operating ranges and galvanic isolation. This study proposes a single, magnetic, high-efficiency, high step-up/down bidirectional DC-DC converter. The proposed converter is composed of a bidirectional flyback and a bidirectional isolated switched-capacitor cell, which are competitively cheap. The output terminals of the flyback converter and switched-capacitor cell are connected in series to obtain the voltage step-up. In the reverse power flow, the converter reciprocally operates with high efficiency across a broad operating range because it uses hard switching instead of soft switching. The proposed topology achieves a genuine on-off interleaved energy transfer at the transformer core and windings, thus providing an excellent utilization ratio. The dynamic characteristics of the converter are analyzed for the controller design. Finally, a 240 W hardware prototype is constructed to demonstrate the operation of the bidirectional converter under a current feedback control loop. To improve the efficiency of a PV system, the maximum power point tracking method is applied to the proposed converter.

In the building process of FPSOs(floating production, storage and offloading units) is the increasing demand of high performance piping joints that can be installed on its turret system and maintain smooth and long-term flow of ultra-high pressure crude oil, being subjected to external excitations such as wind and wave on the sea. Following such a trend, in this paper, a new-type piping joint of four effective degrees of freedom has been designed, and its dynamic characteristics predicted through mathematical modeling and computer simulations. Moreover, via an example it was shown how the yaw motion in particular can be independently controlled for future durability test despite strong kinetic couplings.

This paper presents a new dynamic model which is represented by the second order differenatial equation and itcludes the robot arm dynamics as well as the actuator dynamics. The model exhibits excellent performance in the steady state and transient response. In addition the time varing nonlinear and coupled dynamic system has been linearized and decoupled by using nonlinear feedback and linearization method. In this case a pole assignment law is used to improve stability, and the optimal control altorithm is applied to the error equation to minimize the path error. In applying the proposed algorithm to the three joint manipulator with actuators, we obtained very encouraging results.

When the speed of a coaxial rotor helicopter in forward flight increases, the wake skew angle of the rotor increases and consequently the position of the vena contracta of the upper rotor with respect to the lower rotor changes. Considering ambient air and the effect of the upper rotor, this study proposes a nonuniform inflow model for the lower rotor of a coaxial rotor helicopter in forward flight. The total required power of the coaxial rotor system was compared against Dingeldein's experimental data, and the results of the proposed model were well matched. A plant model was also developed from first principles for flight simulation, unknown parameter estimation and control analysis. The coaxial rotor helicopter used for this study was manufactured for surveillance and reconnaissance and does not have any stabilizer bar. Therefore, a feedback controller was included during flight test and parameter estimation to overcome unstable situations. Predicted responses of parameter estimation and validation show good agreement with experimental data. Therefore, the methodology described in this paper can be used to develop numerical plant model, study non-uniform inflow model, conduct performance analysis and parameter estimation of coaxial rotor as well as other rotorcrafts in forward flight.

고 배속 광디스크 드라이브(ODD) 시스템에서 위치제어 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 디스크의 면 진동과 수평 진동과 같은 외란에 의한 오차를 감소 시켜야만 한다. 따라서 하드디스크를 포함한 여러 분야에서 뛰어난 외란 제거 성능을 보이고 있는 외란 관측기는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다. 그러나 ODD 같은 양산용 전자제품에 외란 관측기를 구현하기 위해서는 별도의 계산 장치가 필요하고, 출력신호를 직접 Feedback 신호로 활용해야 하는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 ODD 시스템의 외란을 제거하기 위한 수정된 구조를 가지는 오차를 기초로 한 외란관측기(Error Based Modified Disturbance Observer, EM-DOB)를 제안한다. EM-ROB 시스템은 DOB 시스템에 비해 그 구조가 더욱 간편하고 쉽게 구현 할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 그리고 제안한 EM-DOB 시스템의 특성을 연구하고 실험을 통해서 EM-DOB의 효용성을 입증하였다.

This study reviews studies on the core stabilization of respiratory muscle training for the elderly health. Previous research data and presenting basic literature data suggest that respiratory activation is an important mechanism for core strengthening via exercise interventions for the elderly. The review found that first, the mechanism of improving the respiratory muscles weakened by aging to address the loss of core function due to old age sarcopenia among the elderly results entails promoting the autonomic nervous system by focusing on the respiratory muscle activation pattern, the core muscle sensation mobilized for body centering. Second, nerve roots, intraperitoneal pressure, and deep muscles in the trunk of the body can be promoted while controlling respiratory stimulation with cognitive feedback. Effortful inspiration increases the activation of respiratory assistive muscles and effortless exhalation can improve the core muscle mobilization by involving abdominal muscles. Third, through respiratory muscle training, the elderly can increase their awareness of spinal centering and improve the ability to control the deep core muscles that must be mobilized for core stabilization. In conclusion, respiratory muscle training to increase the utilization of the trunk muscles seems to be a useful core stabilization exercise for the elderly with chronic tension and joint degeneration.
