A frequency diverse array (FDA) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar employs a small frequency increment across transmit elements to produce an angle-range-dependent beampattern for target angle and range detection. The joint angle and range estimation problem is a trilinear model. The traditional trilinear alternating least square (TALS) algorithm involves high computational load due to excessive iterations. We propose a fast-convergence trilinear decomposition (FC-TD) algorithm to jointly estimate FDA-MIMO radar target angle and range. We first use a propagator method to obtain coarse angle and range estimates in the data domain. Next, the coarse estimates are used as initialized parameters instead of the traditional TALS algorithm random initialization to reduce iterations and accelerate convergence. Finally, fine angle and range estimates are derived and automatically paired. Compared to the traditional TALS algorithm, the proposed FC-TD algorithm has lower computational complexity with no estimation performance degradation. Moreover, Cramer-Rao bounds are presented and simulation results are provided to validate the proposed FC-TD algorithm effectiveness.

FMCW 배열 안테나는 저비용 고해상도라는 장점 때문에 많은 분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. FMCW 배열을 이용하여 표적의 거리와 각도를 추정하기 위해서, 우선 deramped 수신신호로부터 거리-각도 행렬을 구성하고, 그 다음에 거리-각도 행렬에 2D-FFT와 같은 2차원 주파수 추정기법을 적용한다. 하지만, 이러한 주파수 추정기법은 bias 오차를 발생시키게 된다. 그 이유는 거리-각도 행렬의 두 개의 주파수가 서로 독립적이지 않기 때문이다. 따라서 FMCW 배열 안테나를 이용하여 표적의 거리-각도 동시추정을 위한 최대우도 기반 알고리즘을 제안하고, 거리와 각도 추정에 있어서 Cramer-Rao bound에 도달함을 보인다.

Since a non-nulling method of five-hole probes is valid only when the flow angle is within the calibrated angle range, it can not be used in a complex flow field. Full angle range pressure coefficient maps show that widely used nulling methods do not guarantee correct alignment of the probe with the flow direction in the unknown complex flow field. Zone decision method and features of zone map were studied by investigating the full angle range pressure coefficient maps. A reliable and efficient new nulling algorithm using zone decision by pressure ordering is proposed and verified. Since the zone decision method by pressure ordering can decide whether the flow is within the calibration angle range or not, it is useful in wide angle nonnulling methods, too.

For the autonomous navigation of an unmanned ground vehicle in the rough terrain and combat, the dust environment should necessarily be overcome. Therefore, we propose a robust obstacle detection methodology using laser range sensor and radar. Laser range sensor has a good angle and distance accuracy, however, it has a weakness in the dust environment. On the other hand, radar has not better the angle and distance accuracy than laser range sensor, it has a robustness in the dust environment. Using these characteristics of laser range sensor and radar, we use laser range sensor as a main sensor for normal times and radar as a assist sensor for the dust environment. For fusion of laser range sensor and radar information, the angle and distance data of the laser range sensor and radar are separately transformed to the angle and distance data of virtual range sensor which is located in the center of the vehicle. Through distance comparison of laser range sensor and radar in the same angle, the distance data of a fused virtual range sensor are changed to the distance data of the laser range sensor, if the distance of laser range sensor and radar are similar. In the other case, the distance data of the fused virtual range sensor are changed to the distance data of the radar. The suggested methodology is verified by real experiment.

영구자석형 스테핑 전동기의 언덕턴스를 고려하여 최대 평균 토오크식을 제시하였으며, 제시된 토오크식에 근거하여 마이크로컨트롤러에 의해 lead angle을 전동기의 속도에 따라 최적으로 제어함으로서 최대 토오크를 발생시키는 제어시스템을 설계하여 전동기의 토오크/속도 특성 실험을 하였다. 이론식에 의하면 토오크/속도 곡선에서 최적 lead angle의 도입에 따라 발생하는 토오크가 증대되며, 운전영역이 2배이상 확대되는 바와 같이, 특성실험 결과에서도 최적 lead angle의 실현에 따라 구동모드에 관계없이 발생 토오크가 증대되며, 운전영역이 2배이상 학대됨을 확인 할 수 있다.

The design of low-solidity vaned diffusers and the effect on the performance of a turbocharger compressor is discussed. The effect of vane number and turning angle was investigated while maintaining a basic design with a leading edge angle of $70^{\circ}$, leading and trailing edge radius ratios of 1.1 and 1.3. All results are compared with those obtained with the standard vaneless diffuser configuration and it was shown that all designs increased and shifted the pressure ratio to reduced flowrates. Despite the low-solidity configuration none of the vane designs provided a broad operating range, and the vane leading edge angle was not main factor that system went into the surge condition. The diffuser of higher trailing edge angle improved the flow range for the compressor to operate at lower flow region.

This study simulated the range of golf ball with different projection angles using a drive swing condition. For the simulation purpose, the differential equation of dynamics was induced by using Bernoulli's principle and average back spin frequency, instant velocity, and dimple of golf ball from amateur group, professional group, and Tiger Woods were chosen as the initial condition. The study result indicated that lift coefficient($C_{lift}$) relative to drag coefficient ($C_d$), 0.3 of differential equation was applied differently in terms of back spin Sequency, and when $C_{lift}$ was 0.4 for amateur, 0.5 for professional, and 0.7 for Tiger Woods the projection ranges of ball were closely matched with initial condition. With selected $C_{lift}$ and back spin frequency of initial condition, the ranges with different projection angle was measured as 193m ($13-17^{\circ}$) for amateur, 240m ($9-13^{\circ}$), professional and 273m ($9^{\circ}$)Tiger Woods, respectively. For the range in terms of back spin frequency and projection angle, the amateur group indicated relatively high spin frequency (70 RPS) and showed the maximal range (195m) with $13^{\circ}$ of projection angle. The tendency of longer range with higher projection angle was also found under the different conditions of spin frequency in this group. The professional group showed their maximal range (245m) with conditions of 60RPS of spin frequency and $9^{\circ}$ of projection angle. Their range was decreased dramatically when the spin frequency was reduced to 40-50 RPS. For Tiger Woods, the maximal range was found with 40RPS of spin frequency and the range was decreased notably when the spin frequency was above 40RPS.

Objectives : This study is planned to classify different biomechanics of men and women, from the comparison of normal range and hip internal rotation angle in chronic low back pain patients. Methods : We measured the hip internal rotation angle of the 30 men and 30 women patients with low back pain that has been over 3 months in BuCheon Jaseng Hospital of Oriental medicine. We set 35-45 degrees as normal range, and found the patients with exceeding normal range, the patients with normal range, and the patients with under normal range. Results : Men appeared to have less hip internal rotation angle than women. Especially, the men's left hip internal rotation angle was less than normal range. On the other hand, women's right hip internal rotation angle was often larger than normal range which was stastically significant. Conclusions : Contraction of hip external rotation muscle including gluteus maxius muscle and piriformis muscle in men, or relaxation of posterior gluteus medius, gluteus maxius and piriformis muscle with contraction of tensor fasciae latae, a part of hip internal rotation muscle, in women seems to be the basis for biomechanics of chronic low back pain.

Purpose: Purpose: The usability of a mathematical model modified for analysis of the static stability of an asymmetric tractor-harvester system was investigated. Method: The modified asynchronous mathematical model was validated through empirical experiments, and the effects of movements of the center of gravity (CG) coordinates on the stability against lateral overturning were analyzed through simulations. Results: Changes in the lateral overturning angle of the system were investigated when the coordinates of the CG of the system were moved within the variable range. The errors between simulation results and empirical experiments were compared, and the results were -4.7% at the left side overturning and -0.1% at the right side overturning. The asymmetric system was characterized in such a way that the right side overturning had an increase in overturning angle in the (+) variable range, while it had a decrease in overturning angle in the (-) variable range. In addition, the left side overturning showed an opposite result to that of the right side. At the declination angle (296<${\gamma}$<76), the right side overturning had an increase in the maximum overturning angle of 3.6%, in the minimum overturning angle of 20.3%, and in the mean overturning angle of 15.9%. Furthermore, at the declination angle (284<${\gamma}$<64), the left side overturning had a decrease in the maximum overturning angle of 29.2%, in the minimum overturning angle of 44%, and in a mean overturning angle of 39.7%. Conclusion: The modified mathematical model was useful for predicting the overturning angle of the asymmetric tractor-harvester system, and verified that a movement of the CG coordinates had a critical effect on its stability. In particular, the left side overturning was the most vulnerable to stability, regardless of the direction of declination angle.
