The proposed method offers an improved control method for high power density AC/DC adapter by using more energy efficient electrical equipments. Power factor corrector (PFC) topology is based on boost topology with boundary conduction mode (BCM). DC/DC topology is based on half-bridge topology with newly introduced off-time control method, which helps to reduce size of the semiconductor and the magnetic devices. Test results with 85W AC/DC adapter (18.5V/4.6A) design shows that the measured efficiency is 90% with power density of $36W/in^3$. It also show low no load power consumption of about 0.5W.

In this study, we compared the immune cell populations in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fluid, which shows lymphoid tissue-like structure, with those in tonsils, which are normal secondary lymphoid tissues. Firstly, we found that $CD4^-CD11b^+$ macrophages were the major population in RA synovial fluid and that B cells were the major population in tonsils. In addition, synovial fluid from patients with osteoarthritis, which is a degenerative joint disease, contained $CD4^+CD11b^+$monocytes as the major immune cell population. Secondly, we categorized three groups based on the proportion of macrophages found in RA synovial fluid: (1) the macrophage-high group, which contained more than 80% macrophages; (2) the macrophage-intermediate group, which contained between 40% and 80% macrophages; and (3) the macrophage-low group, which contained less than 40% macrophages. In the macrophage-low group, more lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi)-like cells were detected, and the expression of OX40L and TRANCE in these cells was higher than that in the other groups. In addition, in this group, the suppressive function of regulatory T cells was downregulated. Finally, CXCL13 expression was higher in RA synovial fluid than in tonsils, but CCL21 expression was comparable in synovial fluid from all groups and in tonsils. These data demonstrate that increased lymphocyte infiltration in RA synovial fluid is correlated with an increase in LTi-like cells and the elevation of the chemokine expression.

For most of linear time-varying (LTV) systems, it is difficult to design time-varying controllers in analytic way. Accordingly, by approximating LTV systems as uncertain linear time-invariant, control design approaches such as robust control have been applied to the resulting uncertain LTI systems. In particular, a robust control method such as quantitative feedback theory (QFT) has an advantage of guaranteeing the frozen-time stability and the performance specification against plant parameter uncertainties. However, if these methods are applied to the approximated linear. time-invariant (LTI) plants with large uncertainty, the resulting control law becomes complicated and also may not become ineffective with faster dynamic behavior. In this paper, as a method to enhance the fast dynamic performance of LTV systems with bounded time-varying parameters, the approximated uncertainty of time-varying parameters are reduced by the proposed QFT parameter-scheduling control design based on radial basis function (RBF) networks.

The properties of linear time-varying(LTV) systems vary because of the time-varying property of plant parameters. The generalized controller design method for linear time-varying systems does not exit because the analytic soultion of dynamic equation has not been found yet. Hence, to design a controller for LTV systems, the robust control methods for uncertain LTI systems which are the approximation of LTV systems have been generally ised omstead. However, these methods are not sufficient to reflect the fast dynamics of the original time-varying systems such as missiles and supersonic aircraft. In general, both the performance and the robustness of the control system which is designed with these are not satisfactory. In addition, since a better model will give the more robustness to the controlled system, a gain scheduling technique based on LTI controller design methods has been uesd to solve time problem. Therefore, we propose a new gain scheduled QFT method for LTV systems based on neural networks in this paper. The gain scheduled QFT involves gain dcheduling procedured which are the first trial for QFT and are well suited consideration of the properties of the existing QFT method. The proposed method is illustrated by a numerical example.

There are mainly two types of bang-bang controllers for nominal linear time-invariant (LTI) system. Optimal bang-bang controller is designed based on optimal control theory and suboptimal bang-bang controller is obtained by using Lyapunov stability condition. In this paper, the suboptimal bang-bang control method is extended to LTI system involving both control input saturation and structured real parameter uncertainties by using Lyapunov robust stability condition. Two robust optimal bang-bang controllers are derived by minimizing the time derivative of Lyapunov function subjected to the limit of control input. The one is developed based on the classical quadratic stability(QS), and the other is developed based on the affine quadratic stability(AQS). And characteristics of the two controllers are compared. Especially, bounds of parameter uncertainties which theoretically guarantee robust stability of the two controllers are compared quantitatively for 1DOF vibrating system. Moreover, the validity of robust optimal bang-bang controller based on the AQS is shown through numerical simulations for this system.

In this paper, a fuzzy logic is applied to a model-following control(MFC) to form a fuzzy model following control(FMFC). The feedback gain the MFC is adjusted continuously through the fuzzy logic rule. The proposed fuzzy-MFC is applied to synthesize controllers for linear time inveriant(LTI) systems with parameter uncertainties, and the robustness results of the proposed designs are compared.

본 논문은 퍼지 펄스 폭 변조 (Pulse-width-modulation: PWM) 시스템의 안정도에 대해 다루게 된다. 복잡성을 가진 비선형 시스템은 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) 퍼지 모델에 의해 효율적으로 논의될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 LTI 시스템에서 논의 되었던 PWM 제어기 설계 문제를 퍼지 시스템으로 확장시킴으로써 PWM 제어기에 대한 논의의 저변을 확대시키고자 한다. 또한, 리아푸노프 (Lyapunov) 안정도에 기반 한 안정도 증명을 통해 퍼지 PWM 시스템의 안정도를 분석하고자 한다.
