The parameter modification of the initial FEM model to match it with the experimental results needs the modal information and the modal sensitivity matrix to the parameter change. There are two cases this methodology is ill-equip to deal with; the deficiency of the necessary modal information and the ill-conditioning of the sensitivity matrix. In this research, a novel concept of the feedback exciter that uses the summation of the white noise and the signals from the measurement sensors multiplied with feedback gains as the reference signal is proposed. There are 2 advantages using this external feedback excitation. First, we can use the change of the system response such as modal data by the active energy Path from the sensor to the exciter. This change of the system response can be additional clues to the system dynamics that we want to know. Secondly, the external energy Path alternates the offset of the Parameter change to the system response. That means the modal sensitivity of the parameters becomes different from the original sensitivities by the feedback excitation. Through the feedback loop, we can change the similar modal sensitivities of some updating parameters and consequently discriminate the parameters using the closed-loop modal data. To demonstrate the discrimination performance, the parameter estimation of an indeterminate structure by use of the feedback method is introduced.

정밀을 요하는 자동차 부품의 측정 시스템은 온도에 따른 보상이 필수적이다. 부품의 측정값의 신뢰도를 유지하기 위해서 단순히 제품의 합격 영역을 상온에서 51.786～51.819mm로 했을 때, 온도가 상온에서 떨어져 있는 경우 그 부품의 측정영역을 신뢰하기가 어려워진다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 2개의 카메라를 사용하여 한쪽은 표준 제품을 두고, 다른 쪽은 실제 제품을 두므로서 온도에 따라 달라지는 표준 제품의 측정값의 Offset를 실제 제품에 반영하므로 측정값을 보상하려고 하였다. 자동차의 부품은 여러 가지가 있으나, 이 중에서 현재 공장에서 측정에 어려움을 겪고 있는 에어콘 스윗치인 마그네트 코일 하우징을 대상으로 하였다. 특히 측정 대상이 크고, 카메라의 화소수가 40만 이하일 경우, 측정의 중요한 포인트는 화소수이기 때문에 이를 정확히 알아 내는데, FCM(Fuzzy C-means) 알고리듬이 좋은 결과를 주지만 속성 공간에서 유사성만을 고려하고, 공간영역에서 유사성을 고려되지 않기 때문에 FCM은 \"equal evidence\"와 \"ignorance\"를 구분하지 못한다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 FCM를 수정하여 먼저 FCM로 처리하고 하고 이를 바탕으로 PCM(Possibilistic C-means)를 사용하였다. 결과를 모니터에 보여주고, RSC-232 포트를 통하여 신호를 마이크로프로세서에 전달하여 제품의 양호(good), 불량(bad)을 판별하는 신호를 발생하게 하였다.을 판별하는 신호를 발생하게 하였다.

This paper presents a linear temperature/voltage relation over a temperature range(0~100$^{\circ}C$) with high-resolution, reasonably god response linearity, reliability, and overall improved performance. A notable feature of the proposed method is that the whole temperature span is divided by 16 subbands thus the variation span of measured voltage is narrowed. Therefore noise characteristic has been improved. The output voltage is amplified after the uniformed DC voltage component is eliminated by offset. We proposed circuit using median value and mean value of digital signal in order to reduce the noise effect. The proposed circuit offers linear temperature/voltage conversion over a wide dynamic range using DSP(TMS320C31) and steinhart equation.

For the purpose of helping development of a GDI(Gasoline Direct Injection) engine, the spray behaviors and fuel distributions were investigated in a single cylinder GDI engine. The experimental engine is a swirl type GBI engine with a SCV(Swirl Control Valve). PLIF(Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence) system with KrF Excimer laser was used for the measurement of the fuel distributions. The effects of SCV opening angle and the Injector specifications, such as the spray cone angle and the offset an91e on the fuel distributions characteristics were investigated. As a result, it was found that the SCV opening angle had a great effect on the fuel distributions in the late stage of compression process by changing flow fields in the combustion chamber.

Up-converted phase noise, which is induced by the low-frequency relative intensity noise (RIN) of a laser through AM-PM conversion within a photodetector (PD), is first measured here by means of a cross-correlation method. Our proposed measurement system can isolate the RIN-induced phase noise from noise contributions of other components, such as amplifiers, modulators, and mixers. In particular, shot noise and thermal noise generated from the PD are also suppressed by this method, so that standalone characteristics of the RIN-induced phase noise can be obtained. Experimental results clearly show the quantitative relationship between the RIN-induced phase noise and the incident optical power of the PD. Our findings indicate that the least RIN-induced phase noise appeared at the saturation point of the PD, which is about -162 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset.

In this study, a method is suggested to design the A/D conversion system which has high resolution to convert load cell signal. First, hardware was designed to reduce the offset voltage of integrator and comparator. And then, a calibration software technique was performed to obtain the stable data from A/D converter. The optimal parameters of each elements in the circuits was selected using the SPICE simulation. The main advantage of our method is high precision A/D converter can be constructed with low cost and high confidence. Therefore proposed method is expected to be used in the industrial field where a high precision measurement is required.

Currently, the measurement of RF parameters for a base station in operation is typically limited to easily measured forward path items. In this paper, the forward monitoring ports of base stations are used to measure the reverse RF performance. The system has been implemented and effectiveness has been proven on an operating base station. The receiver sensitivity is measured using an internal CDMA modem which is used to monitor the output power based on closed loop power control when the modem is connected to the base station via a voice call. In order to improve accuracy, in addition to the modem Tx adjust(TxAdj) parameter, the detector's actual measurement is used. For accurate receiver sensitivity, the measurement should be made when there is no traffic which is not possible on an operating base station. Therefore, pilot channel chip energy to received signal power spectral density ratio$(E_c/I_o)$ compensation method is used to offset the receiver sensitivity degradation with voice traffic increase.

Phase noise performance and current consumption of Radio Frequency (RF) Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) are largely dependent on the Quality (Q) factor of inductor-capacitor (LC) tank. Because the Q-factor of LC tank is determined by on-chip spiral inductor, we designed, analyzed, and modeled on-chip differential inductor to enhance differential Q-factor, reduce current consumption and save silicon area. The simulated inductance is 3.3 nH and Q-factor is 15 at 2 GHz. Self-resonance frequency is as high as 13 GHz. To verify its use to RF applications, we designed 2 GHz differential LC VCO. The measurement result of phase noise is -112 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100 kHz from a 2GHz carrier frequency. Tuning range is about 500 MHz (25%), and current consumption varies from 5mA to 8.4 mA using bias control technique. Implemented in $0.35-{\mu}m$ SiGe BiCMOS technology, the VCO occupies $400\;um{\times}800\;um$ of silicon area.

There have been continuous efforts to automate welding processes. This automation process could be said to fall into two categories, weld seam tracking and weld quality evaluation. Recently, the attempts to achieve these two functions simultaneously are on the increase. For the study presented in this paper, a vision sensor is made, and using this, the 3 dimensional geometry of the bead is measured in real time. For the application in welding, which is the characteristic of nonlinear process, a fuzzy controller is designed. And with this, an adaptive control system is proposed which acquires the bead height and the coordinates of the point on the bead along the horizontal fillet joint, performs seam tracking with those data, and also at the same time, controls the bead geometry to a uniform shape. A communication system, which enables the communication with the industrial robot, is designed to control the bead geometry and to track the weld seam. Experiments are made with varied offset angles from the pre-taught weld path, and they showed the adaptive system works favorable results.

A vessel/mooring/riser coupled dynamic analysis program in time domain is developed for the global motion simulation of a turret-moored, tanker based FPSO designed for 6000-ft water depth. The vessel global motions and mooring tension are simulated for the non-parallel wind-wave-current 100-year hurricane condition in the Gulf of Mexico. The wind and current forces and moments are estimated from the OCIMF empirical data base for the given loading condition. The numerical results are compared with the OTRC(Offshore Technology Research Center: Model Basin for Offshore Platforms in Texas A&M University) 1:60 model-testing results with truncated mooring system. The system's stiffness and line tension as well as natural periods and damping obtained from the OTRC measurement are checked through numerically simulated static-offset and free-decay tests. The global vessel motion simulations in the hurricane condition were conducted by varying lateral and longitudinal hull drag coefficients, different mooring and riser set up, and wind-exposed areas to better understand the sensitivity of the FPSO responses against empirical parameters. It is particularly stressed that the dynamic mooring tension can be greatly underestimated when truncated mooring system is used.
