Harmonics and the reactive power related problems in the supply and demand side are increasing with the proliferation of nonlinear loads such as power converters in industrial applications. Filtering options such as passive, active and hybrid filters are countermeasures against these problems. In this study, a novel hybrid active filter topology with a new approach to enhance the system performance is presented. In this study, a novel hybrid active filter topology with a new approach to enhance the system performance is presented. The proposed topology comprised a parallel inverter and a hybrid active filter. It improves the system efficiency and reduces VA ratings, hence, overall filtering cost. The system operation, control and experimental verification on three phase rectifier and/or capacitor loads are presented.

Given their structural arrangement, photovoltaic (PV) modules exhibit parasitic capacitance, which creates a path for high-frequency current during zero-state switching of the converter in transformerless systems. This current has to be limited to ensure safety and electromagnetic compatibility. Many solutions that can minimize or completely avoid this phenomenon, are available. However, most of these solutions are patented because they rely on specific and often complex converter topologies. This study aims to solve this problem by introducing a solution based on a classic converter topology with an appropriate modulation technique and passive filtering. A 5.5 kW single-phase residential PV system that consists of DC-DC boost stage and DC-AC H-bridge converter is considered. Control schemes for both converter stages are presented. An overview of existing modulation techniques for H-bridge converter is provided, and a modification of hybrid modulation is proposed. A system prototype is built for the experimental verification. As shown in the study, with simple filtering and proper selection of switching states, achieving low leakage current level is possible while maintaining high converter efficiency and required energy quality.

For high power photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected converters, high order filters such as multi-tuned filters and Traps+RC filters with outstanding filtering performance have been widely researched. In this paper, the optimization of a multi-tuned filter with a low damping resistance and research on its corresponding control scheme have been combined to improve the performance of the proposed filter. Based on the characteristics of the switching harmonics produced by PWM, the proposed filter is optimized to further improve its filtering performance. When compared with the more common Traps+RC filter, the advantages of the proposed filter with low damping resistances in attenuating the major switching harmonics have been demonstrated. In addition, a simpler topology and reduced power loss can be achieved. On the other hand, to make the implementation of the proposed filter possible, on the base of the unique frequency response characteristic of the proposed filter, a digital single-loop control scheme has been proposed. This scheme is a simple and effective means to suppress the resonance peak caused by a lack of damping. Therefore, a smaller volume, better efficiency of the proposed filter, and easy implementation of the corresponding control scheme can be realized. Finally, the superiority of the proposed filter topology and control scheme is verified in experiments.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식은 주파수 선택적 페이딩 (frequency selective fading)과 협대역 간섭 (narrwband interference)에 강한 전송 방식으로 대용량 데이터 통신에 적합하다. 하지만, OFDM 신호는 독립적으로 변조된 많은 부반송들로 구성되므로 이들이 동위상으로 더해질 때 신호의 진폭이 증가하여 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템의 PAPR 문제를 해결하기 위해 반복구조의 clipping과 filtering 기법을 적용하고, 이로 인해 발생되는 대역 내 왜곡을 EVM (Error Vector Magnitude)을 이용하여 보정하는 기법을 제안하였다. 이 기법은 PAPR 감소는 물론 clipping에 의한 대역 내 왜곡을 감소시킬 수 있다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 무선 통신 시스템에 적용하였을 때 PAPR 감소 효율과 EVM, BER (Bit Error Rate) 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석했다.

비활성 영역이란 특정 영상을 표현하기 위해 유효하지 않은 화소 값으로 채워지는 영역을 의미한다. 일반적으로 원본 영상의 형태가 사각형 형태가 아닌 경우 이를 사각형 형태로 변환하는 과정에서 주로 발생하며, 특히 3D 영상을 2D로 표현할 때 자주 발생한다. 이러한 비활성 영역은 압축 효율을 크게 저하시키기 때문에, 활성 영역과 비활성 영역의 경계 부분에 필터링 기술 등을 적용해 해결해 왔다. 하지만 일반적인 필터링 적용 기술은 영상의 특성을 적절하게 반영하지 못할 가능성이 크다. 제안하는 기법에서는 영상의 특성과 압축 과정을 고려한 강화학습을 통한 패딩을 진행하였다. 실험결과 제안한 기법이 기존 기법보다 평균 3.4% 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있다.

Filterbank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC-OQAM) is an attractive alternative to the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique. In comparison with OFDM, the FBMC-OQAM signal has better spectral confinement and higher spectral efficiency and tolerance to synchronization errors, primarily due to per-subcarrier filtering using a frequency-time localized prototype filter. However, the filtering process introduces intrinsic interference among the symbols and complicates channel estimation (CE). An efficient way to improve the CE in FBMC-OQAM is using a technique known as windowed frequency domain averaging (FDA); however, it requires a priori knowledge of the window length parameter which is set based on the channel's frequency selectivity (FS). As the channel's FS is not fixed and not a priori known, we propose a k-nearest neighbor-based machine learning algorithm to classify the FS and decide on the FDA's window length. A comparative theoretical analysis of the mean-squared error (MSE) is performed to prove the proposed CE scheme's effectiveness, validated through extensive simulations. The adaptive CE scheme is shown to yield a reduction in CE-MSE and improved bit error rates compared with the popular preamble-based CE schemes for FBMC-OQAM, without a priori knowledge of channel's frequency selectivity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate for filtration efficiency of several dust masks, comparing with filtration efficiency certified by KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency), and to require of the right use of protective respirators. Using a welding fume generator and chamber, several dust masks, which were widely used in the workplaces in korea, were tested for their filtering efficiency for stainless steel arc welding fume. The filtration efficiency testing system consisted of a welding fume generator, a chamber and a filtration unit. The filtration unit was made of a mask which was inserted into the sampling cassette and another sampling cassette, which contained mixed cellulose ester filter paper. These two cassettes were connected with tubing. Stainless steel arc welding fume generator was delivered into an chamber. The welding fume in the chamber was passed into the filtration unit with flow rate of 30 liter/min. The welding fume filtration efficiency was evaluated by gravimetric measurement. Metal concentrations in the welding fume before and after filtration were measured with inductive coupling plasma analyzer. Following results were obtained: Filtration efficiency of welding fume for common hygienic mask was 63.82% and the average efficiencies for A, B, C, D, E, F and G masks were 94.62%, 96.58%, 83.20%, 82.76%, 77.25%, 86.55% and 93.22%, respectively. Our results indicate that dust masks used widely in the welding workplaces in korea are not proper for protecting worker's health and then the use of fume mask should be required.

As the integrated circuit device shrinks to smaller dimensions, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process was required for the global planarization of inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer with free-defect. However, as the inter-metal dielectrics (IMD) layer gets thinner, micro-scratches are becoming as major defects. Micro-scratches are generated by agglomerated slurry, solidified and attached slurry in pipe line of slurry supply system. To prevent agglomerated slurry particle from inflow, we installed 0.5${\mu}m$ POU (point of use) filter, which is depth-type filter and has 80% filtering efficiency for the $1.0{\mu}m$ size particle. In this paper, we studied the relationship between defect generation and pad count to understand the exact efficiency of the slurry filtration, and to find out the appropriate pad usage. Our preliminary results showed that it is impossible to prevent defect-causing particles perfectly through the depth-type filter. Thus, we suggest that it is necessary to optimize the flow rate of slurry to overcome depth type filters weak-point, and to install the high spray of de-ionized Water (DIW) with high pressure.

본 논문에서는 H.264 동영상 표준 부호화 방식을 이용한 압축 동영상의 성능 향상을 위한 잔여신호 필터에 대해 제안한다. 영상 획득 과정에서 발생된 첨가 노이즈에 의해 훼손된 동영상은 고주파 성분의 존재로 인하여 시각적으로 불편한 현상과 압축 효율의 저하를 초래한다. 제안된 필터 과정에서는 국부 통계적 특성과 양자화 매개변수 및 주어진 양자화 스텝 사이즈를 이용하여 노이즈 성분을 제거하고 시각적인 효과와 압축 효율을 높이고자 했다. 또한 노이즈에 대한 매개변수를 H.264 동영상 표준 부호화 방식의 변환과 양자화 과정을 통해 잔여신호 필터의 계산량을 줄이기 위해 적용하였다. 제안된 방식의 성능을 실험 결과로부터 확인할 수 있었다.
