This paper presents a modified Current Source Parallel Resonant Push-pull Inverter (CSPRPI) for single phase induction heating applications. One of the most important problems associated with current source parallel resonant inverters is achieving ZVS in transient intervals. This paper shows that a CSPRPI with the integral cycle control method has dynamic ZVS. According to this method, it is the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit that tracks the switching frequency. The advantages of this technique are a higher efficiency, a smaller package size and a low EMI in comparison with similar topologies. Additionally, the proposed modification results in a low THD of the ac-line current. It has been measured as less than %2. To show the validity of the proposed method, a laboratory prototype is implemented with an operating frequency of 80 kHz and an output power of 400 W. The experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed single phase induction heating system.

In this letter, a small-sized ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID tag antenna for a medical sample tube is proposed. The RFID tag antenna is designed and fabricated based on the circular loop antenna used in the UHF band (Korea standard, 917 MHz to 923.5 MHz). The tag antenna size is reduced using a circular meander stub. The antenna has a physical size of 8 mm, which is about ${\lambda}$/40 in electrical length. The proposed tag antenna is molded into a medical sample and multitag identification is performed.

Transformin the huge size of drawings into a suitable format for CAD system and recognizng the contents of drawings are the major concerans in the automated analysis of engineering drawings. This paper proposes some methods for text/graphics separation, symbol extraction, vectorization and symbol recognition with the object of applying them to electronic cirucit drawings. We use MBR (Minimum bounding rectangle) and size of isolated region on the drawings for separating text and graphic regions. Characteristics parameters such as the number of pixels, the length of circular constant and the degree of round shape are used for extracting loop symbols and geometric structures for non-loop symbols. To recognize symbols, nearest netighbor between FD (foruier descriptor) of extractd symbols and these of classification reference symbols is used. Experimental results show that the proposed method can generate compact vector representation of extracted symbols and perform the scale change and rotation of extracted symbol using symbol vectorization. Also we achieve an efficient searching of circuit drawings.

최근의 저 전력 컴퓨터 시스템은 내장 프로세서의 성능 향상과 공정 기술의 발전을 통한 디바이스 크기 감소로 인해 전압 변동, 커플링 효과 등으로 인한 SEU(single event upset)로 모델링 되는 천이고장으로 인한 예기치 못한 동작 중 에러 발생가능성이 매우 높아지고 있다. 제안하는 방식은 프로세서가 처리하는 프로그램 분기 흐름상에서 에러를 검출하는 효과적인 watchdog 프로세서 구조로서, 기존 방식이 가지는 오버헤드를 줄이면서 프로그램 내부에서 빈번히 발생되는 루프를 매번 검사할 때, 동일한 동작을 watchdog 프로세서가 반복함으로써 생기는 비효율적인 메모리 접근, 버스 점유 경쟁등과 같은 추가적인 시스템 수준의 오버헤드를 줄이는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 본 논문은 기존의 실시간 분기 및 제어 흐름 연구에서는 다루지 않았던 루프 검출 및 예측 기능을 추가함으로써 실제 시스템 적용에 보다 적합한 비용 효율적인 구조를 제안하고 있다.

본 논문에서는 일반 루프안테나를 개조한 BLA(Branch Loop Antenna)를 소개하고, 휴대 단말기에 적용될 수 있음을 보인다. 브랜치 소자를 사각형 루프안테나에 추가하고, 길이를 조절하여 낮은 공진 주파수를 얻는다. 공진주파수 2.5GHz를 갖는 단일 루프의 경우, 같은 크기의 BLA로 공진을 900MHz대로 낮춘다. 다중 공진은 BLA의 접속위치와 길이로부터 얻는다. 2중 밴드 BLA에 대한 구현 및 측정으로부터, GSM900밴드에서 75MHz의 -10dB 밴드폭, 평균이득 -3.03~-1.46dBi 및 49.73~71.39% 효율을 얻었고, DCS1900밴드에서 90MHz의 -6dB 밴드폭, 평균이득 -8.14~-2.17dBi 및 15.34~60.62% 효율을 얻었다. 또한 H면 무지향 패턴 특성을 보였다. 이들 특성은 휴대 단말기 안테나로 적용될 수 있는 좋은 특성이다.

The sintering behavior and B-H loop properties of $Li_{0.5O4}$ with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ have been investigated by observation of microstructures and measurement of semi-static hysteresis loops. The sintering temperature was lowered by the additions of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ and the effect of $V_2O_5$ addition was greater than that of $Nb_2O_5$. The abnormal grain growth was observed at about 100$0^{\circ}C$(d:4.6g/㎤) and 85$0^{\circ}C$(d:4.5g/㎤) in the specimens with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ respectively. The addition of $Nb_2O_5$ retulted in a large and uniform grain size, and the addition of $V_2O_5$ resulted in a uniform grain size but the final density was lower than that of the pure specimen. The squareness was increased and the coercive force was decreased by the addition of $Nb_2O_5$, and the squareness was decreased and the coercive force was increased by the addition of $V_2O_5$. These effects could be explained by a large and uniform grain size, and by a lower final density of specimens with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ respectively.

This paper presents the performance improvement of voltage-mode controlled interleaved synchronous buck converters. This is a voltage-mode controlled scheme, where the controllers do not need an external saw-tooth generator for PWM generation and the loop design is easier. The controller implementation requires only a single error amplifier and gives almost current mode control performance. The control scheme uses voltage feedback with two loops similar to current mode control: one for the slow outer loop and the other for the faster inner PWM control loop. To improve the performance of the converter system a coupled inductor is used. This coupled inductor reduces the magnetic size and also improves the converter's transient performance without increasing the steady-state current ripple. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated through PSIM simulations.

This paper presents a heuristic algorithm for classifying vehicles using a single loop detector. The data used for the development of the algorithm are the frequency variation of a vehicle sensored from the circle-shaped loop detectors which are normal buried beneath the expressway. The pre-processing of data is required for the development of the algorithm that actually consists of two parts. One is both normalization of occupancy time and that with frequency variation, the other is finding of an adaptable number of sample size for each vehicle category and calculation of average value of normalized frequencies along with occupancy time that will be stored for comparison. Then, detected values are compared with those stored data to locate the most fitted pattern. After the normalization process, we developed some frameworks for comparison schemes. The fitted scales used were 10 and 15 frames in occupancy time(X-axis) and 10 and 15 frames in frequency variation (Y-axis). A combination of X-Y 10-15 frame turned out to be the most efficient scale of normalization producing 96 percent correct classification rate for six types of vehicle.

We propose a novel spatial multi-band-stop filter using modified multiple loop array elements to block electromagnetic waves or signals of mobile phones in public facilities. It operates at the following frequency bands: Korean cellular (824 MHz to 894 MHz), Personal Communication Service (PCS) (1.75 GHz to 1.87 GHz), and IMT-2000 (1.92 GHz to 2.17 GHz). Two frequency selective surfaces with modified multiple-loop elements are printed on the top and bottom of a pair-glass pane, which is a pair of glass panes with an air gap between them. A modified multiple-loop element with a meander line is used to make the size of the filter compact. The simulated and measured results show good agreement, which confirms the usefulness of the proposed tri-band spatial filter.
