Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) is a device which prevents the wheels form locked up under emergency braking of a vehicle. So it helps the vehicle to maintain the steerability and shortens the braking distance by maintaining optimal frictional force during braking since the tire road slip is controlled in acceptable range. Recently, ABS is accepted as a standard equipment in vehicles, especially in commercial vehicles(bus and trucks). Commercial vehicles don´t use hydraulic lines but use pneumatic lines for braking system mostly. In this paper, ECU(Electronic Control Unit) for the anti-lock braking system of a commercial vehicle which is equipped with a full-air brake system and its control algorithms are presented. In this algorithm wheel speed acceleration flags and wheel slip flags are defined ...

The prevalence of microprocessor-based controllers in automotive system has greatly increased the need for tools which can be used to validate and test control system over their full range of operation. The objective of this paper is to develop a real time simulator of an anti-lock braking system and traction control system by the methodology of using hardware-in-the-loop simulation based on a personal computer. By use of this simulator, the analyses of commercial electronic control units and components for ABS/TCS were performed successfully. The simulator of this research can be applied to development of more advanced control system(such as vehicle dynamic control system) and other automotive system.

This paper describes a delay-locked loop (DLL) that generates a 64-phase clock with the operating frequency of 125MHz. The proposed DLL use a $4{\times}8$ matrix-based delay line to improve the linearity of a delay line. The output clock with 64-phase is generated by using a CMOS multiplex and a inverted-based interpolator from 32-phase clock which is the output clock of the $4{\times}8$ matrix-based delay line. The circuit for an initial phase lock, which is independent on the duty cycle ratio of the input clock, is used to prevent from the harmonic lock of a DLL. The proposed DLL is designed using a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process with a 1.8 V supply. The simulated operating frequency range is 40 MHz to 200 MHz. At the operating frequency of a 125 MHz, the worst phase error and jitter of a 64-phase clock are +11/-12 ps and 6.58 ps, respectively.

This paper describes a wide-range dual-loop Delay Locked Loop (DLL) using Voltage Controlled Delay Line (VCDL) based on Transmission Gate(TG) inverters. One loop is used when the minimum VCDL delay is greater than a half of $T_{REF}$, the reference clock period. The other loop is initiated when the minimum delay is less than $0.5{\times}T_{REF}$. The proposed VCDL improves the dynamic operation range of a DLL. The DLL with a VCDL of 10 TG inverters provides a lock range from 70MHz to 700MHz when designed using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology with 1.8 supply voltage. The DLL consumes 11.5mW for locking operation with a 700MHz reference clock. The proposed DLL can be used for high-speed memory devices and processors, communication systems, high-performance display interfaces, etc.

The temporal evolution of wake behind a circular cylinder oscillating rotationally with a relatively high forcing frequency has been investigated experimentally using a dynamic PIV technique. Experiments were carried out with varying the frequency ratio $F_R\;(=f_f/f_n)$ in the range from 0.0 (stationary) to 1.6 at oscillation amplitude of ${\theta}_A=30^{\circ}$ and Reynolds number of $Re=4.14{\times}10^3$. Depending on the forcing condition ($F_R$), the flow was divided into three regimes; non-lock-on ($F_R=0.4$), transition ($F_R=0.8$, 1.6) and lock-on regimes ($F_R=1.0$) with markedly different flow structure in the near-wake region behind the cylinder. When the frequency ratio was less than 1.0 ($F_R{\le}1.0$), the rotational oscillatory motion of the cylinder decreased the length of the vortex formation region and enhanced the mutual interaction between large-scale vortices across the wake centerline. The entrainment of ambient fluid seemed to play an important role in controlling the near-wake flow and shear-layer instability. However, the flow characteristics changed markedly beyond the lock-on flow regime ($F_R=1.0$) due to high-frequency forcing. At $F_R=1.6$, the mutual interactions between the vortices shed from both sides of the cylinder were not so strong. Thereby, the flow entrainment and momentum transfer into the wake center region were reduced. In addition, the size of the large-scale vortices decreased since the lateral extent of the wake was suppressed.

For a vehicle Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), the control target is to maintain friction coefficients within maximum range to ensure minimum stopping distance and vehicle stability. But in order to achieve a directionally stable maneuver, tire side forces must be considered along with the braking friction. Focusing on combined braking and turning operation conditions, this paper presents a new control scheme for an ABS controller design, which calculates optimal target wheel slip ratio on-line based on vehicle dynamic states and prevailing road condition. A fuzzy logic approach is applied to maintain the optimal target slip ratio so that the best compromise between braking deceleration, stopping distance and direction stability performances can be obtained for the vehicle. The scheme is implemented using an 8-DOF nonlinear vehicle model and simulation tests were carried out in different conditions. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is robust and effective. Compared with a fixed-slip ratio scheme, the stopping distance can be decreased with satisfactory directional control performance meanwhile.

A two-axis gimbal-type antenna for a Compact Advanced Satellite (CAS) is used to efficiently transmit high resolution image data to a ground station. In this study, we designed the structure of a two-axis gimbal-type antenna while applying a launch lock device to secure its structural safety under a launch environment. To validate the effectiveness of the structural design, a structural analysis of the antenna was performed. First, a modal analysis was performed to investigate the dynamic responses of the antenna with and without the mechanical constraints of the launch lock device. In addition, a quasi-static analysis was performed to confirm the structural safety of the antenna structure and bolt I/Fs between the antenna base and the satellite. The suitable range of constraint force on the launch lock device was also determined to ensure the structural safety and mechanical gapping of the ball & socket interfaces, which places multi-constraints on the azimuth and elevation stage of the antenna.

10 GHz clock recovery from 40 Gbit/s optical time-division-multiplexed(OTDM) signal pulses was experimentally demonstrated using an optical phase lock loop based on a terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer(TOAD) with a local-reference-oscillator-free electronic feedback circuit. The 10 GHz clock was successfully extracted from 40 Gbit/s signals. The SNR of the time-extracted 10 GHz RF signal to the side components was larger than 40 dB. Also we performed numerical simulation about the extraction process of phase information in TOAD. The lock-in frequency range of the clock recovery is found to be 10 kHz.

Lateral vibrations of footbridges may induce synchronization between pedestrians and structure itself, resulting in amplification of such vibrations, a phenomenon identified by lock-in. However, investigations about accelerations and frequencies of the structural movement that are related to the occurrence of synchronization are still incipient. The aim of this paper is to investigate conditions that could lead to avoidance of synchronization among pedestrians themselves and footbridge, expressed in terms of peak acceleration. The focus is on the low acceleration range, employed in some guidelines as a criterion to avoid synchronization. An experimental campaign was carried out, employing a prototype footbridge that was set into oscillatory motion through a pneumatic exciter controlled by a fuzzy system, with controlled frequency and amplitude. Test subjects were then asked to cross the oscillating structure, and accelerations were simultaneously recorded at the structure and at the subject's waist. Pattern and phase differences between these signals were analysed. The results showed that test subjects tended to keep their walking patterns without synchronization induced by the vibration of the structure, for structural peak acceleration values up to 0.18 m/s², when frequencies of oscillation were around 0.8 to 0.9 Hz. On the other hand, for frequencies of oscillation below 0.7 Hz, structural peak accelerations up to 0.30 m/s² did not induce synchronization.

The authors examined the patterns and various ranges of mandibular movements in TMJ lock closed patients in the frontal, sagittal and horizontal plane pre-end post-treatment. And the author obtained the following results. 1. In the frontal plane, the patterns and ranges of mandibular movement of the patients were very irregular and small before treatment. But after the treatment, the patterns were similar to the typical shield shape of the normal subjects. And the velocity of opening and closing was improved after the treatment. 2. In the sagittal plane, the mean amount of maximum mouth opening was 27.0±4.0mm before treatment and 44.0±5.4mm after treatment. And there was statistically significant improvement(p<0.005). The patterns of the movement were very irregular and small before treatment, but were similar to the shape of "Posselt's envelope of motion" after the treatment. The velocity of opening and closing was improved after the treatment 3. In the horizontal plane, the mean amount of maximum laterotrusion was 8l2±2.5mm in the affected side and 6.7±2.2mm in the non-affected side before treatment. There was a significant difference between the sides(p<0.05). After the treatment, the mean was 10.4±2.6mm in the affected side and 8.9±2.3mm in the non-affected side and there was no significant difference between the sides(p>0.05). There was no significant difference in the mean amount of maximum protrusion between the before and aftertreatment(p>0.05), but the patterns of the movements were improved.
