This research proposes a indoor magnetic map matching algorithm that improves the position accuracy by employing multiple magnetic sensors and probabilistic candidate weighting function. Since the magnetic field is easily distorted by the surrounding environment, the distorted magnetic field can be used for position mapping, and multiple sensor configuration is useful to improve mapping accuracy. Nevertheless, the position error is likely to increase because the external magnetic disturbances have repeated pattern in indoor environment and several points have similar magnetic field distortion characteristics. Those errors cause large position error, which reduces the accuracy of the position detection. In order to solve this problem, we propose a method to reduce the error using multiple sensors and likelihood boundaries that uses human walking characteristics. Also, to reduce the maximum position error, we propose an algorithm that weights according to their importance. We performed indoor walking tests to evaluate the performance of the algorithm and analyzed the position detection error rate and maximum distance error. From the results we can confirm that the accuracy of position detection is greatly improved.

A new controller for switching audio power amplifier with digital PWM input is proposed- Bi-directional Saw-tooth Error Correction (BSEC). This control method for high quality switching amplifier is based on a pulsed edge correction approach using PWM audio signal input as a reference of power switching digital to analog converter. The proposed controller has excellent features such as wide error correction range and no limitation on the modulation index. The controller is implemented in the half-bridge class D amplifier and the performance is verified through hardware experiments. It delivers 100W into 4${\Omega}$ load with less than 0.2% of total harmonic distortion (THD) all over operating range and an maximum efficiency of 82%.

Vacuum interrupters have a special asymmetric electrode structure to generate an magnetic field and consequently to increase the interrupting ability. Accordingly 2-dimensional analysis has a large analysis error because radial flux can not be considered. In this paper, in order to analyse the electric field distribution of a vacuum interrupter with arc shield more accurately, 3-dimensional finite element method(FEM) is used. The induced electric potentials of floating shield was increased with the gap distance, which is because the relative position of shield is closer to the fixed contact so that the capacitance distribution inside interrupter is varied. The calculated results also show that the induced potential of shield causes electric field distortion so that the maximum value of electric field in a vacuum interrupter with arc shield is higher than that without one.

Three-dimensional pipe flows with elbows, tees and headers in three different pipe systems are calculated to estimate the effect of asymmetry of axial velocity profile and swirl on measuring accuracy of an orifice flowmeter. It is evaluated how the pressure difference across the orifice is dependent on the upstream straight pipe length and how swirl intensity, swirl angle, and axial velocity distribution affect the measuring error of the orifice flowmeter. From the results, it is found that variation of the pressure difference across the orifice is negligible in case that maximum swirl angle is less than 2$^{\circ}$, and also that the pressure difference across the orifice is more sensitive to the asymmetry of axial velocity profile rather than the swirl intensity.

Efficient quantization methods of the line spectrum pairs (LSP) which have good performances, low complexity and memory are proposed. The adaptive quantization range method utilizing the ordering property of LSP parameters is used in a scalar quantizer and a vector-scalar hybrid quantizer. As the maximum quantization range of each LSP parameter is varied adaptively on the quantized value of the previous order's LSP parameter, efficient quantization methods can be obtained. The proposed scalar quantization algorithm needs 31 bits/frame, which is 3 bits less per frame than in the conventional scalar quantization method with interframe prediction to maintain the transparent quality of speech. The improved vector-scalar quantizer achieves an average spectral distortion of 1 dB using 26 bits/frame. The performances of proposed quantization methods are also evaluated in the transmission errors.

According to insert parallel resonant circuit, the do reactor decreases the distortion of dc current and output current. Therefore, we decrease the do reactance and control modulation factor to operation at the maximum power point around of solar cell.

In this paper we introduce a new subclass $K_{\mu}^{\lambda},{\phi},{\eta}(n;{\rho};{\alpha})$ of analytic and multivalent functions with negative coefficients using fractional calculus operators. Connections to the well known and some new subclasses are discussed. A necessary and sufficient condition for a function to be in $K_{\mu}^{\lambda},{\phi},{\eta}(n;{\rho};{\alpha})$ is obtained. Several distortion inequalities involving fractional integral and fractional derivative operators are also presented. We also give results for radius of starlikeness, convexity and close-to-convexity and inclusion property for functions in the subclass. Modified Hadamard product, application of class preserving integral operator and other interesting properties are also discussed.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of H$_2$ pressure on partial discharge (PD) activity and aging rate in turbine generator winding insulations. A series of field tests and laboratory tests were peformed to investigate the effect of $H_2$ pressure on PD activity. Field tests were conducted at two unit turbine generators in two conditions, in $H_2$ pressure and in air atmosphere. Obtained results are as follows ; 1) ${\Delta}tan{\delta}$ and maximum partial discharge are reduced with increase of $H_2$ pressure and partial discharge inception voltage. 2) The reduction ratio of ${\Delta}tan{\delta}$ due to $H_2$ pressure is higher than one of PD magnitude. 3) Partial discharge pulses suffer from attenuation and distortion when transmitted along windings, because of the complex L-C network between windings. From the result, partial discharge pulses are subjected to resonance phenomena in a generator winding.

In general, the output voltage level of a PV array varies widely at various irradiances and temperatures. The MPP (Maximum Power Point) range of a medium- or high-power PV PCS is normally 450~830Vdc or 300~600Vdc. This means the PV PCS should operate in a wide range of modulation indexes. The PV PCS should satisfy the harmonic current requirement that the TDD (Total demand distortion) shall not exceed 5%. This paper proposes a new PWM control method for a medium- or high-power PV PCS which increases the efficiency of power conversion in all operation ranges with acceptable harmonic ripple currents. This paper compares and analyzes appropriate PWM schemes for the PV PCS in the view points of conversion efficiency and current harmonics.

A major problem in conventional multilevel inverter is that an increase in power semiconductor switches causes an increase in cost and switching losses of the inverter. The multicarrier strategy adopted for the multilevel inverters has become more popular due to reduced cost, lower harmonic distortion, and higher voltage capability than the conventional switching strategy applied to inverters. Various topologies and modulation strategies have been reported for utility and drive applications. Level shifted based pulse width modulation techniques are proposed to investigate the performance of the multilevel inverter. The proposed work focuses on reducing the utilized switches so that the cost and the switching losses of the inverter do not go up and the consistent efficiency could be achieved. This paper presents the detailed analysis of these topologies. The analysis is based on the number of switches, DC sources, output level, maximum voltage, and the efficiency. As an illustration, single phase cascaded multilevel inverter topologies are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and the experimental results demonstrate the viability of these inverters.
