This paper deals with an optimal angle error reduction method of magnetic position sensor using hall effect elements. The angle detection simulation for the magnetic position sensor is performed by 3 dimensional finite element method and Taguchi method, one of the design of experiments. The magnetic position sensor is required to generate ideal sine and cosine waveforms from its hall effect elements according to rotation angle for precise angle information. However, the output signals are easy to include harmonics due to uneven magnetic field distribution from permanent magnet in the air-gap in the vicinity of hall effect elements. For the Taguchi method, three design parameters related to position of hall effect elements and shape of back yoke are selected. The characteristics of optimal magnetic position sensor are compared with those of original one in terms of simulation as well as experiment. Finally, the performances of the motor adopting original model and optimal model are represented for the purpose of verification of motor performance due to signals from magnetic position sensor.

This study focused on the optimization of the illumination method for efficient use of light energies in a photobioreactor. In order to investigate the effect of radiator position, a model simulation study was carried out using Synechococcus sp. PCC 6301 and an internally radiating photobioreactor as a model system. The efficiency of light transfer in a photobioreactor was analyzed by estimating the average light intensity in a photobioreactor. The simulation result, indicate that there exists an optimal position of internal radiators, and that the optimal position varies with radiator number and cell concentration. When light radiators are placed at the optimal position, the average light intensity is about 30% higher than that obtained by placing radiators at the circumstance or center of a photobioreactor. The method presented in this work may be useful for improving light transfer efficiency in a photobioreactor.

The selection of the optimal position of the flap was performed in order to improve the aerodynamic performance during the take-off and landing processes of aircraft. For this, the existing airfoils of the main wing and flap are selected as the baseline model and the lift coefficients (cl) according to angle of attacks (AOA) were calculated with the change of the position of flap airfoil. The objective function was defined as the consideration of the maximum cl, lift to drag ratio and cl at certain AOA. Then, at 121 experimental points within $20mm{\times}20mm$ domain, two dimensional flow simulations with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model were performed concerning the AOA from 0 to 15 degree. If the optimal position was located at the domain boundary, the domain moved to the optimal position. These processes were iterated until the position was included in the inside of the domain. From these processes, the flow separation at low AOA was removed and cl increased linearly comparing with that of the baseline model.

본 논문에서는 광 위상 공액기 (OPC ; optical phase conjugator)를 중심으로 광 전력과 색 분산량을 대칭화 하는 방법을 대체할 수 있는 OPC의 최적 위치 편차와 그에 따른 광섬유 구간의 최적 분산 계수 편차를 WDM 시스템의 채널수에 따라 살펴보았다. 본 논문에서 고려한 WDM 시스템의 채널수는 8, 12, 16, 20, 24로 가정하였고, 각 채널의 비트율은 40 Gbps로 가정하였다. 모든 WDM 채널의 보상을 위한 최적 OPC 위치 편차와 광섬유 구간의 최적 분산 계수 편차는 채널수가 증가할수록 커져야 한다는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 최적 OPC 위치 편차와 광섬유 구간의 최적 분산 계수 편차가 동시에 증가하기 때문에 OPC 위치 이동 1 km 당 최적 분산 계수 값은 WDM 채널수에 크게 의존하지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 이들 최적 파라미터 값들은 WDM 채널수가 적은 시스템에서보다 채널수가 많은 시스템에 더욱 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose how to determine the optimal camera position using inverse kinematics of virtual link model and manipulability measure. We model the variable distance and viewing direction between a target object and a camera position as a virtual link. And, by using inverse kinematics of virtual link model, we find out regions that satisfy the direction and distance constraints for the observation of target object. The solution of inverse kinematics of virtual link model simultaneously satisfies camera accessibility as well as a direction and distance constraints. And we use a manipulability measure of active camera system in order to determine an optimal camera position among the multiple solutions of inverse kinematics. By using the inverse kinematics of virtual link model and manipulability measure, the optimal camera position in order to observe a target object can be determined easily and rapidly.

배 경: 호흡부전의 치료에 있어 환자 체위를 prone position으로 하는 시도는 20년 전부터 보고되어 왔으며 폐산소화 및 심박출량 향상에 효과가 있다는 것이 알려져 있다. Prone position시 폐산소화의 호전은 임상 및 동물 실험에서 단락 감소에 의한 것으로 알려져 있으며 그 중요 기전은 supine position에 비해 prone position때 중력 의존부 폐의 늑막압이 더 작아 폐포 개방압이 줄어들기 때문인 바 저자 등은 prone position이 폐산소화에 미치는 효과는 supine position에서 사용한 PEEP의 폐포 고비 개방압과의 관계에 따라 달라질 것으로 추정하였다. Prone position에서의 심박출량 증가에 대하여는 양압환기시 발생하는 cardiac fossa lifting 현상이 prone position에 의해 완화될 수 있다는 주장이 제기된 바 있어 prone position이 또한 supine position에서 PEEP에 의해 초래된 심박출량 저하를 완화시킬 수 있는지를 잡종견 급성 폐손상 모델을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 잡종견 7 마리 ($20.0{\pm}3.9$ kg)를 정맥 마취 후 기관내관을 삽관하고 인공호흡기를 Vt 15 ml/kg, f 20/min, I : E=1 : 3, pause 10%, PEEP 0 cm $H_2O$, $F_1O_2$ 1.0으로 설정하였다. 혈압, 분당맥박수, 폐동맥쐐기압, 심박출량 등의 측정과 동맥혈가스분석을 위해 서혜동맥과 폐동맥 천자술을 시행하였다. 대조기에 supine position 및 prone position 30분에 각각 호흡 지표 ($PaO_2/F_1O_2$[P/F], 총호흡기계탄성 [Cst]와 supine position, prone position 5분 및 prone position 30분에 혈류역학적 지표(평균동맥압, 분당 맥박수, 심박출량, 박출용적)을 측정하고 섭씨 38도의 생리식염수 (30~50 ml/kg)를 기관내관을 통하여 주입하여 급성 폐손상을 유도한 뒤 constant flow 법에 의해 inflection point(Pflex)를 측정하였다. 급성 폐손상에서의 supine position과 prone position실험은 Pflex보다 2 cm $H_2O$ 낮은 PEEP(Low PEEP)과 2 cm $H_2O$ 높은 PEEP (Optimal PEEP)에서 순차적으로 시행하고 각각 통일 시간대에 상기 지표들을 측정하였으며 Optimal PEEP 실험 마지막에 다시 supin position으로 체위를 바꾸고 5분 뒤 혈류역학적 지표들을 측정하였다. 결 과: 1. Prone position 시행시 Low PEEP 및 Optimal PEEP에서의 호흡 효과의 차이 Low PEEP하에서 P/F 비는 supine position에서 $195{\pm}112$ mm Hg, prone position 30분에서 $400{\pm}33$ mm Hg였고 (p<0.001) Optimal PEEP하에서 P/F 비는 supine position에서 $466{\pm}63$ mm Hg, prone position 30분에서 $499{\pm}63$ mm Hg였다 (p=0.016). Prone position에 의한 P/F 비 싱승량은 Low PEEP하에서 $205{\pm}90$ mm Hg로 Optimal PEEP($33{\pm}33$ mm Hg) 하에서 보다 유의하게 높았다(각각 p<0.05). 2. Prone position의 혈류역학적 효과 Low PEEP하에서 심박출량은 supine position($3.0{\pm}0.7$ L/min) 과 비교하여 prone position 5분 $3.3{\pm}0.7$ L/min(p=0.0180)로 증가하였고 prone position 30분 $3.7{\pm}0.8$ L/min(p=0.0630)로 차이가 없었다. 분당맥박수는 각각 $141{\pm}22\;min^{-1}$, $141{\pm}22\;min^{-1}$(p=0.8658) 및 $176{\pm}28\;min^{-1}$(p=0.0280)이었고 폐동맥쐐기압은 차이가 없었다. Optimal PEEP하에서 평균동맥압은 각각 $87{\pm}19$ mm Hg, $107{\pm}18$ mm Hg(p=0.0180) 및 $108{\pm}16$ mm Hg(p=0.0180), 심박출량은 각각 $2.4{\pm}0.5$ L/min, $3.3{\pm}0.6$ L/min(p=0.0180) 및 $3.6{\pm}0.7$ L/min(p=0.0180), 그리고 박출용적은 각각 $14{\pm}2$ml, $20{\pm}2$ ml(p=0.0180) 및 $21{\pm}2$ ml(p=0.0180)였다. 분당맥박수는 체위 변경에 따른 차이가 없었고 폐동맥쐐기압은 각각 $10.1{\pm}2.4$ mm Hg, $9.1{\pm}2.7$ mm Hg(p=0.0180) 및 $9.0{\pm}3.1$ mm Hg(p=0.0679) 이었다. Optimal PEEP하 prone position에서 다시 supine position으로 체위를 바꾸고 5분 후 평균동맥압은 $92{\pm}23$ mm Hg, 심박출량은 $2.4{\pm}0.5$ L/min, 그리고 박출용적은 $14{\pm}1$ ml로 모두 감소하였다(모두 p<0.05). 결 론 : 잡종견 급성폐손상 모델에서 prone position은 비교적 낮은 수준 PEEP의 폐산소화 호전 효과를 중대시켰고, 비교적 놓은 수준 PEEP에 의한 심박출량 저하를 완화시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 심박출량을 유지하면서 폐산소화를 호전시키고자 하는 ARDS 환자에서의 기계환기의 목표를 달성하는데 있어 prone position이 supine position보다 유리하다는 것을 시사한다.

This paper concerns the applications of the Kalman filter to navigation and the develment of computer programs of the navigational calculations. Methods to apply the Kalman filter to celestial fix, fix by cross bearing and cocked hat are proposed, and numerical simulations under various noise conditiions are conducted. The accuracy of the optimal positions obtained by the Kalman filter is compared with that of the fixed positiions by radial error method. In the case of celestial fix, an algorithm to estimate the optimal positions by using the linear Kalman filter is presented. The optimal positions by the Kalman filter are compared with the running fixes and with the most probable positions obtained from a single line of position. It is confirmed that the resutls of the proposed method are more accurate than the others. In practical piloting, bearings are generally measured intermittently and the measurement process is nonlinear. It is, therefore, difficult for us to apply the Kalman filter to fix by cross bearing. In order to be used in such an unfavorable case, the extended Kalman filter is revised and the aplicability of the revised extended Kalman filter is checked by numerical simulation under various noise conditions. In a cocked hat, an inside or outside fix is dependent only upon azimuth spread, if the error of each line of position is assumed to be equal both in magnitude and sign. A new technique of selecting a ship's position between an inside fix and an outside fix in a cocked hat by using fix determinant derived from the equation of three lines of position is also presented. The relations among the optimal position by Kalman filter, incentre (or excentre) and random error centtre of the cocked hat are discussed theoretically and the accuracy of the optimal position is compared with that of the others by numerical simulation.

The present study investigates the employing of piezoelectric patches in active control of a sandwich plate. Indeed, the active control and optimal patch distribution on this structure are presented together. A sandwich plate with honeycomb core and composite reinforced by carbon nanotubes in facesheet layers is considered so that the optimum position of actuator/sensor patches pair is guaranteed to suppress the vibration of sandwich structures. The sandwich panel consists of a search space which is a square of 200 × 200 mm with a numerous number of candidates for the optimum position. Also, different dimension of square and rectangular plates to obtain the optimal placement of piezoelectric actuator/senor patches pair is considered. Based on genetic algorithm and LQR, the optimum position of patches and fitness function is determined, respectively. The present study reveals that the efficiency and performance of LQR control is affected by the optimal placement of the actuator/sensor patches pair to a large extent. It is also shown that an intelligent selection of the parent, repeated genes filtering, and 80% crossover and 20% mutation would increase the convergence of the algorithm. It is noted that a fitness function is achieved by collection actuator/sensor patches pair cost functions in the same position (controllability). It is worth mentioning that the study of the optimal location of actuator/sensor patches pair is carried out for different boundary conditions of a sandwich plate such as simply supported and clamped boundary conditions.

In this paper, an optimal PID sliding mode controller is proposed for the position control of electro-hydrostatic actuator(ERA) systems with system uncertainties and saturation in the motor. An ERA prototype is developed and system modeling and parameter identification are executed. Then, optimal PID and optimal anti-windup PID controller are designed based on identified system model by using optimization toolbox in MA TLAB/Simulink and the performance of the two control systems are compared by experiment. It was found that the optimal anti-windup PID control system has better performance than the optimal anti-windup PID control system.
