We propose a new high speed and low power SOI inverter with dynamic threshold voltage that can operate with efficient body-bias control and free supply voltage. The performance of the proposed circuit is evaluated by both the BSIM3SOI circuit simulator and the ATLAS device simulator, and then compared with other reported SOI circuits. The proposed circuit is shown to have excellent characteristics. At the supply voltage of 1.5V, the proposed circuit operates 27% faster than the conventional SOI circuit with the same power dissipation.

Recently, the demand for the development of high quality and high-speed laser printers and efficient power utilization has required. Among complicated electro-mechanic devices in laser printers, the toner-fusing unit consumes above 90[%] of all electrical energy needed for printing devices. Therefore, the development of a more effective energy-saving toner fusing process becomes a significant task in great demand. Generally, there are several ways to implement a fusing unit. Among them this paper presents a new induction heating method. The proposed induction heating method enables the increase of coupling coefficient between heating coil and heat roller which also increases total energy transfer efficiency. Therefore, the proposed IH (Induction Heating) inverter system provides very fast W.U.T. (Warm UP Time) as well as higher efficiency. Through experimental results, the proposed control system is verified.

There are many increasing demands for efficient high power density of auxiliary power unit(APU) for high speed traction application. Many techniques have been proposed to measure the voltage flicker on the traditional pulse width modulation(PWM) inverter. This paper proposes a novel functionality of the static inverter on the APU to mitigate the voltage flicker and regulate the output voltage. A new control algorithm for the inverter based on the Hilbert transform(HT) is presented. The HT is employed as an effective technique for tracking the voltage flicker levels in APU systems. Simulation results are provided to verify the tracking capabilities of the HT and to evaluate the performance of the proposed DG interface for multi-function operation.

As global environmental regulations have been strengthened, the eco-friendly market has grown rapidly. In the field of aircraft, research on electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can enter city centers and perform personal air transportation using electric propulsion is ongoing. For aircraft using electric propulsion methods to operate reliably, electric power thrust systems are a key factor. Electric aircraft require a high power density for propulsion systems with strict limits on volume and weight. The efficient control of inverter systems is essential for achieving high power density. Therefore, in this paper, the characteristics of inverters and motors were analyzed through simulations based on the space vector pulse width modulation (PWM) and discontinuous PWM methods for controlling inverter systems.

Failure of the power apparatus causes many inconveniences and problems due to power outage in all places using power such as industry and home. The main causes of faults in the Power Apparatus are aging, natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes, and animals. At present, the long high temperature status is monitored only by the assumption that a fault occurs when the temperature of the power apparatus becomes higher. Therefore, it is difficult to cope with the failure of the power apparatus at the right time. In this paper, we propose a power apparatus monitoring system as an efficient countermeasure against general faults except for faults caused by sudden natural disasters. The proposed monitoring system monitors the power apparatus in real time by attaching a thermal sensor, collects the monitored data, and predicts the failure using the accumulated information through learning using the artificial neural network. Through the learning and experimentation of artificial neural network, it is shown that the proposed method is efficient.

Advances in wireless communication and hardware technology have made it possible to manufacture high-performance tiny sensor nodes. More recently, the availability of inexpensive cameras modules that are able to capture multimedia data from the environment has fostered the development of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks(WMSNs). WMSN supplements the a advanced technique that senses, transmits, and processes the multimedia contents upon the text based traditional wireless sensor network. Since the amount of data which the multimedia contents have, is significantly larger than that of text based data, multimedia contents require lots of computing power and high network bandwidth. To process the multimedia contents on the wireless sensor node which has very limited computing power and energy, a technique for WMSN should take account of computing resource and efficient transmission. In the paper, we propose a new image compression technique YWCE for efficient compression and transmission of image data in WMSN. YWCE introduces 4 type of technique for motion estimation and compensation based on the Resolution Scalability of Wavelet. Experimental result shows that YWCE has high compression performance with different set of 4 type.

The portion of lighting power consumption for our country is up to 20~30% of the total amount. Currently, most of the DSM(Demand side management) of lighting power is delivered in supply of high efficient lighting to customers. On the contrary, applications of lighting power to power load leveling are still rare. In this paper, the simulations for various control types of lighting power for load leveling are tried, and we obtained the cost effective and optimal control method through that. This simulation was executed in test office with fluorescent light by us based on applying 8 control types(on, off & dimming), considering customers' satisfaction, for instance, minimum intensity of illumination allowed. According to the result of this test, we found that mixed type(chessboard(on-off) plus dimming control(10%)) is most effective.

Testing time and power consumption during the testing of SoCs are becoming increasingly important with an increasing volume of test data in intellectual property cores in SoCs. This paper presents a new algorithm to reduce the scan-in power and test data volume using a modified scan latch reordering algorithm. We apply a scan latch reordering technique to minimize the column hamming distance in scan vectors. During scan latch reordering, the don't-care inputs in the scan vectors are assigned for low power and high compression. Experimental results for ISCAS 89 benchmark circuits show that reduced test data and low power scan testing can be achieved in all cases.

This paper presents a design of a wireless power transfer system based on magnetic resonant coupling technology with in-band wireless communication. To increase the transmission distance and compensate for the change in the effective capacitance due to the varying distance, the proposed system used a loop antenna with a selectable capacitor array. Because the increased transmission distance enables multiple charging, we added a communication protocol operated at the same frequency band to manage a network and control power circuits. In order to achieve the efficient bandwidth in both power transfer mode and communication mode, the S-parameters of the loop antennas are adjusted by switching a series resistor. Our test results showed that the loop antenna achieved a high Q factor in power transfer mode and enough passband in communication mode.
