The integrated voltage-controlled-oscillator(VOC) operating at 1.75 ㎓ is designed using the InGaP/GaAs HBT process. The proposed noise removal circuit and FR-4 substrate structure in this letter show the better characteristic of the phase noise and reduce the size of the VCO. The frequency tuning range of the VCO is about 200 ㎒ and the phase noise at 120 ㎑ offset is -119.3 ㏈c/㎐. The power consumption of the VCO core is 11.2 ㎽ at 2.8 V supply voltage and the output power is -2 ㏈m. The calculated figure of merit(FOM) is 191.7, which shows the best performance compared with the previous FET or HBT VCO.

In this paper, an operating algorithm for single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor based on PR current controller is proposed. In general, an asymmetric gap may occur depending on the shape of the rotor of single-phase PMSM, and this causes noise and vibration during high-speed operation. Therefore, in this paper, an operating algorithm for a single-phase PMSM usihng a proportional resonant current conrtoller with excellent control stability was proposed. Proportional resonant current controller has on steady state error is relatevly robust against distortion. Also, steady state error of AC input can be eleminated without complicated calculation process. The validity and availability of the proposed algorithm are verified through the experiment.

Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) 장치는 국내 유일의 초전도 자석을 이용한 핵융합 연구 장치로서 초고온의 플라즈마를 생성하여 차세대 에너지원인 핵융합 에너지를 획득하는 것을 목표로 두고 있다. 플라즈마를 생성부터 유지하기 위해서는 수소 동위원소를 토카막 내부로 공급해 주어야 하는데 이러한 수소동위원소를 "연료"라 부르며, 이 연료를 토카막 내부로 공급해 주는 시스템을 연료주입 시스템(Fueling System)이라고 한다. KSTAR에서는 토카막 내부로 고속의 연료 주입이 필요하고 정밀한 양의 연료를 공급하는 밸브를 사용하여야 하며, 이러한 밸브를 제어 할 수 있는 제어기를 필요로 한다. 위의 사항에 적합한 피에조 밸브(Piezoelectric Valve)는 2 msec 이내의 개폐시간과 500 Torr ${\ell}$/s 이상의 유량을 흘려줄 수 있는 피에조 밸브로 압전소자에 가해지는 전압(0~250 V)에 따라 변위의 양에 비례하여 연료가 진공용기 내로 유입된다. 압전소자의 변위는 최대 140 ${\mu}m$로 최적화되어 있어야 하며, 정전용량(Capacitance)는 30~40 nF이어야 한다. 또한 소자에 힘(Force)를 가해 최대 7 N으로 136 ${\mu}m$의 변위를 가진 소자를 사용해야 한다. 피에조 밸브의 특성으로는 아날로그 신호로 작동이 되어야 하며, 유량신호를 피드백하여 밸브의 구동 전압을 정밀하게 제어 되어야 한다. 피드백 제어를 위해 압력센서는 XCS-190 Series를 사용하여 낮은 유량에서도 민감하게 반응하도록 제작하였으며, 고전압이 유기 되었을 때 제어기를 보호하기 위한 정션박스를 설치하였다. 밸브 제어기는 피에조 밸브의 개방 속도를 높이기 위해 밸브 구동 전압을 순간적으로 높이는 POP 전압을 생성하는 기능과 유량 신호를 피드백해서 밸브 구동 전압을 정밀 제어 하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 제어장치는 아날로그 및 디지털 제어회로의 전원용 +15 V DC와 밸브 구동용 +250 V DC 출력용의 전원 공급 장치(Power supply unit), 펄스 및 트리거 신호를 생성하는 Master Programmer unit), Pop 전압과 피드백의 중요한 기능을 수행하는 Valve controller unit로 제작 되었다. 피에조 밸브와 제어기는 상호 작용하여 동작을 원활히 할 수 있도록 특성 실험을 진행하여야 하며, 진공상태에서 Lack의 유무를 확인하여야 한다. 현재 개발 제작된 밸브의 진공누설시험 및 특성실험을 진행하고 있으며, KSTAR 5차 캠페인에 적용할 계획이다.

Measurement of network traffic have shown that the self-similarity is a ubiquitous phenomenon spanning across diverse network environments. In previous work, we have explored the feasibility of exploiting the long-range correlation structure in a self-similar traffic for the congestion control. We have advanced the framework of the multiple time scale congestion control and showed its effectiveness at enhancing performance for the rate-based feedback control. Our contribution is threefold. First, we define a modular extension of the TCP-a function called with a simple interface-that applies to various flavours of the TCP-e.g., Tahoe, Reno, Vegas and show that it significantly improves performance. Second, we show that a multiple time scale TCP endows the underlying feedback control with proactivity by bridging the uncertainty gap associated with reactive controls which is exacerbated by the high delay-bandwidth product in broadband wide area networks. Third, we investigate the influence of the three traffic control dimensions-tracking ability, connection duration, and fairness-on performance.

This research aims to develop core technologies for passive carrier (no power in carrier itself) transfer system. The technologies are passive levitation, propulsion, and guidance, which can be great benefits for semiconductor and display manufacturing industries. Passive maglev carrier is necessary to precise position control for quiet and stable transfer operation. However, the structural characteristics of carrier and the installation errors of gap sensors cause the pitch motion. Hence, the controller design in consideration of pitch motion is required. This study deals with the reduction control of carrier pitch motion. PDA controller and PDA controller with pitch control are proposed to compare the pitch angle analysis. The pitch angle and the levitation precision are measured by experiment. Finally, the optimized design of pitch controller is presented and the effects are discussed.

Using the magnet gear, it is possible to transmit power without mechanical contact. As the drive shaft in a magnet gear-based speed reducer system is isolated from the drive shaft, the system is a two-inertia resonance system that should cope with an external load with the limited air-gap stiffness. On the other hand, the drive shaft or low-speed side is controlled only by the torque of the drive shaft through an air-gap, and the excessive oscillation or the slip can then be generated because of an abrupt disturbance that is different from the general mechanical gear system. Therefore, the disturbance loaded at the low speed side should be measured or estimated, and considered in the control of the driving shaft. This paper proposes a novel full-state feedback controller with a reduced-order observer for the speed reducer system using a magnet gear with a unified harmonic modulator. The control method was verified by simulation and experiment. To estimate the load at the low speed side, a novel observer was designed, in which the new state variable is introduced and the new state equation is formulated. Using a full-state feedback controller including the observer, the test result against disturbance was compared with two D.O.F PI speed controllers. The pole slip was compensated within relatively a short time, and the simulation result about the estimated variable shows a similar tendency to the test result. The test results showed that the magnet gear-based reducer can be applied to an accurate servo system.

Dilute Al-Cu and Al-Mg alloys were solidified unidirectionally upward by Bridgman method. It is necessary that solute concentration of initial melt is uniform to be able to control the concentration of crystal. When solute concentration is not uniform, it can cause unusual macro-segregation in grown solid. A non-steady state solidification was observed where the solute concentration in the grown solid decreased with the progress of solidification, when a dilute Al-Cu melt with positive axial temeprature gradient was solidified. This was caused by leaking out of Cu-rich melt into the gap between ingot and crucible during melt-down and its sedimentation after complete melting. In the case of Al-Mg alloy, the solute concentration has a minimum in the middle of grown specimen because Mg-rich melt flowed down the gap between ingot and crucible and floated after complete melting. Uniform initial melt concentration can be achieved by the homogenization of the ingot or by the absence of the gap between ingot and crucible.

The ring rolling process is one of the best known ring production method. The present model based control system was designed for rings with rectangle cross-section yet. An Adaptive Fuzzy Control for Closed-Die Ring-Rolling was developed in order to enhance the flexibility of the radial-axial ring rolling machine and to produce the rings with highly complex cross-section profile, roller bearing rings. A fuzzy method was implemented because of its simple application and to utilize the known process knowledge. The quality of the control system was estimated by die filling grad, which is strong dependent on the rising time of the controller. The rolling process parameters were also varied to determine their influence on filling of the ring profile. Die filling met the requirement of the industry.

Productivity through reduced defects in plastic injection molding and reduced cycle times is a long-standing need in the injection industry. In particular, productivity is very urgent for the domestic injection industry, which is caught between the pursuit of latecomers such as China and technological gap with Germany and Japan which will not be narrowed down. Through 30 years of research and experience in the domestic injection industry, we have found that controlling the surface temperature of injection molds is the key of quality control. There have been various attempts to utilize advanced control techniques such as PID control, but the productivity against leading companies in Germany and Japan is still insufficient. Using Approximation Algorithm - "Knapsack" and "Minimum Makespan Scheduling", We want to show how to efficiently control objects with periodic repetitive data patterns that are difficult to solve with PID control. In addition, We want to propose that the control by Approximation Algorithm is effective enough to improve the productivity of the product by analyzing the data extracted from actual injection site.

In this paper, results of an analysis of driving behavior characteristics and a driver-adaptive control algorithm for adaptive cruise control systems have been described. The analysis has been performed based on real-world driving data. The vehicle longitudinal control algorithm developed in our previous research has been extended based on the analysis to incorporate the driving characteristics of the human drivers into the control algorithm and to achieve natural vehicle behavior of the adaptive cruise controlled vehicle that would feel comfortable to the human driver. A driving characteristic parameters estimation algorithm has been developed. The driving characteristics parameters of a human driver have been estimated during manual driving using the recursive least-square algorithm and then the estimated ones have been used in the controller adaptation. The vehicle following characteristics of the adaptive cruise control vehicles with and without the driving behavior parameter estimation algorithm have been compared to those of the manual driving. It has been shown that the vehicle following behavior of the controlled vehicle with the adaptive control algorithm is quite close to that of the human controlled vehicles. Therefore, it can be expected that the more natural and more comfortable vehicle behavior would be achieved by the use of the driver adaptive cruise control algorithm.
