Herein, a low-ripple coarse-fine digital low-dropout regulator (D-LDO) without ringing in the transient state is proposed. Conventional D-LDO suffers from a ringing problem when settling the output voltage at a large load transition, which increases the settling time. The proposed D-LDO removes the ringing and reduces the settling time using an auxiliary power stage which adjusts its output current to a load current in the transient state. It also achieves a low output ripple voltage using a comparator with a complete comparison signal. The proposed D-LDO was fabricated using a 65-nm CMOS process with an area of 0.0056 μ㎡. The undershoot and overshoot were 47 mV and 23 mV, respectively, when the load current was changed from 10 mA to 100 mA within an edge time of 20 ns. The settling time decreased from 2.1 ㎲ to 130 ns and the ripple voltage was 3 mV with a quiescent current of 75 ㎂.

The purpose of this study is to quantify the settling velocities of cohesive sediments from Han estuary and to evaluate their local variation within Han estuary. This study also includes an estimation of their spatial variation, for which the settling velocities of cohesive sediments from Han estuary arecompared with those for sediments from other regions. At the same time, physical-chemical properties, such as grain size distribution, the percentage of organic contents, mineralogical composition etc are measured in this study in order to examine their correlation with settling velocities and their effect on settling velocities. Results from settling tests shaw that the settling velocities of Han estuary mud varies in the range of two orders of magnitude(from 0.01 to 1.5 mm/sec) over the corresponding concentration range of 0.1 to 80 g/L, and a feature of the settling velocity profile is quite different in quantity as compared to those of previous studies for muds from other regions. Particularly in the flocculated settling region, the settling velocity for Han estuary muds is shown to be larger than that of Saemankeum and Keum estuary sediments, while in the hindered settling region all three sediments are shown to have a similar settling velocity. However, local variability of the settling velocities within Han estuary is shown to be insignificant.

For understanding sludge concentration profile as a function of time, sludge was sampled at each sampling port. When sludge concentration was 3g/L, the vertical sludge concentration distribution was similar to that of 2g/L of sludge concentration. During the early stage of sludge settling, sludge concentration increased remarkably as the sludge interface height in batch column became lower. The higher sludge concentration became, the worse sludge setteability became. Also, the type of sludge settling was influenced with sludge concentration gradient in batch column. In the same concentration, the greater sludge concentration gradient was, the faster sludge interface settled down. And the changing sludge concentrations in a batch settling or a continuous settling were simulated by using the equation of sludge interface height change model.

다중출력 LDO 레귤레이터는 다양한 공급 전압이 필요한 임베디드 시스템에서 변환 효율을 개선할 수 있는 방안이 된다. 다중 출력을 위한 시분할 구조에서 LDO의 피드백 인자가 작아지면 정착시간이 길어져서 리플 전압이 커진다. 제안하는 토폴로지에서는 기준 전압을 가변하여 일정한 피드백 인자를 구현함으로써 정착시간과 리플 특성을 개선한다. $0.35{\mu}m$ 표준 CMOS 공정으로 설계한 4 채널 프로토타입의 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 구조는 피드백 인자가 0.4 이하인 기존 회로보다 정착시간과 리플 특성이 2배 이상 개선되는 것을 입증하였다.

해수 중에서 자연상태의 황토입자의 침강특성에 관한 연구의 요약은 다음과 같다. 1. 2,000mg/$\ell$ 황토용액에 대한 PSD 곡선은 0 min. 침강시간에서 정규분포곡선을 나타내었고 평균입도는 31.6$\mu$m, 변동계수는 $75,6\%$로써 매우 광범위한 입도의 분포상태를 보여 주었다. 그러나 침강시간이 경과함에 따라 비정규분포곡선의 양상을 나타내었다. 한편 무게누적분포곡선에서 거의 $100\%$의 입자가 20$\mu$m 보다 큰 입자로 구성되어 있었다. 2. 해수 중에서 황토입자에 대한 $V_s/(D_{bm})^{1/2}$ 비의 값은 입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 기하급수적으로 증가하였으며, 1 $\mu$m 입자를 중심으로 이 이상은 $V_s$ 가 $(D_{bm})^{1/2}$보다 크고 이 미만은$(D_{bm})^{1/2}$이 $V_s$ 보다 큰 값을 나타내었다. 20$\mu$m 크기의 입자에 대하여 $V_s/(D_{bm})^{1/2}$ 비의 값은 2,355이었다. 3. 해수 중에서 황토입자는 매우 엷은 EDL 두께 (0.4$\mu$m)를 나타냄으로써 EDL repulsive force가 거의 존재하지 않았으며, 상호 접근하는 황토입자는 모든 간격에서 LVDW attractive force가 EDL repulsive force보다 큰 값을 나타내어 항상 용이하게 floc을 형성할 수밖에 없는 조건에 있었다. 4. 해수 중의 황토입자의 $V_s/(D_{bm})^{1/2}$ 비의 값과 total interaction energy로부터 자연상태의 황토입자는 해수 중에서 외부의 강력한 전단력이 없이는 매우 확산되기 어려운 상태에 있으며, 조류의 수평운동이 적은 내만에서는 입자의 물리적 거동은 침강에 의하여 지배되는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 2,000mg/$\ell$ 황토용액에 대한 침강실험에서 대략 $22.5\%$의 황토는 격렬한 교반에도 불구하고 즉시 침강하였다. 황토농도가 400, 2,000, 10,000mg/$\ell$으로 증가함에 따라 침강특성은 개별입자침강(Type I settling or discrete settling)에서 응결침강(Type II settling or flocculation settling)의 상태로 바뀌었다. 이것은 실제 해양에서 황토입자들 끼리 floc을 형성할 정도로 많은 양의 황토를 적절한 분산장치 없이 살포하는 것은 지양해야 하며 동시에 동일한 농도의 황토용액도 살포방법에 따라 분산의 크기가 달라질 수 있음을 의미하는 것이다. 6. PVD 그래프로부터 자연상태의 황토는 급격하게 침강하는 입자와 장시간 부유하며 천천히 침강하는 입자로 구성되어 있었고 후자의 양이 전자의 양에 비하여 매우 적은 상태로 나타났다. 7. 황토를 이용하여 적조를 효과적으로 제거하기 위해서는 자연상태의 황토를 그대로 사용하기보다는 (1) 미세한 입자상태로 분쇄하고, (2) 적절한 살포장비와 분산장비를 사용하여 해수 중에서 황토입자가 넓게 부유 분산하여 적조생물과 충분한 충돌을 일으키도록 해야한다. 이것은 적어도 황토입자를 이용하여 적조를 응집 제거하려고 할 경우 피할 수 없는 기본적 원리가 되며 동시에 황토 사용량을 줄일 수 있는 하나의 방법이 된다. 8. 일반적으로 입자의 크기는 응집 및 흡착반응에 매우 중요한 인자가 된다. 황토입자는 크기가 작을수록 용이하게 분산시킬 수 있으며 더욱 효과적으로 Cochlodinium 적조를 제거할 수 있다. 실제로 어떤 황토입자의 크기가 적조 제거에 효과적인가는 현장실험을 통하여 침강속도, 수평분산범위, 적조제거효율 등을 조사하여 반드시 결정하여야 한다.

This paper has assessed the flow patterns and settling efficiency in the sedimentation basin using the particle tracking method of the CFD code and has reached the following conclusions: In the original design where no baffle is installed in the sedimentation basin, a large recirculating area where the flow stagnates is created in the right side of the sedimentation basin, with most of the particles moving to the left side of the sedimentation basin following the flow. This biased flow structure in the sedimentation basin reduces the residence time of particles and thereby undermines settling efficiency. The biased flow toward the left side of the sedimentation basin is alleviated by installing a baffle in the sedimentation basin, promptly reducing the fast flow of over 0.7 m/s in the inlet of the sedimentation basin to the rate below 0.2 m/s. In this paper's simulation conditions, if a one-sided baffle is to be installed in the sedimentation basin, placing it 15 meters away from the basin's inlet leads to the best settling efficiency; it has also been analyzed that installing a two-sided baffle-rather than a one-sided one-is a better option in terms of settling efficiency. The highest settling efficiency of 96.2% is achieved when the underwater length of the two-sided baffle is set at 8 meters.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to introduce a method of obtaining the oscillation graphs of the dental x-ray tube heads relative to time using an accelerometer. Materials and Methods: An Accelerometer, Piezotron type 8704B25 (Kistler Instrument Co., Amherst, NY, USA) was utilized to measure the horizontal oscillation of the x-ray tube head immediately after positioning the tube head for an intraoral radiograph. The signal from the sensor was transferred to a dynamic signal analyzer, which displayed the magnitude of the acceleration on the Y-axis and time lapse on the X -axis. The horizontal oscillation of the tube head was measured relative to time, and the settling time was also determined on the basis of the acceleration graphs for 6 wall type, 5 floor-fixed type, and 4 mobile type dental x-ray machines. Results : The oscillation graphs showed that tube head movement decreased rapidly over time. The settling time varied with x-ray machine types. Wall-type x-ray machines had a settling time of up to 6 seconds, 5 seconds for fixed floor-types, and 1 I seconds for the mobile-types. Conclusion: Using an accelerometer, we obtained the oscillation graphs of the dental x-ray tube head relative to time. The oscillation graph with time can guide the operator to decide upon the optimum exposure moment after x-ray tube head positioning for better radiographic resolution.

This paper presents a discrete-time version of voltage and current limited operation using an enhanced direct torque and flux control method for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. A command voltage vector for airgap torque and stator flux regulation can be uniquely determined by the finite-settling-step direct torque and flux control (FSS-DTFC) algorithm under physical constraints. The proposed command voltage vector trajectories can be developed to achieve the maximum inverter voltage utilization for the discrete-time current limit (DTCL)-based FSS-DTFC. The algorithm can produce adequate results over a number of the potential secondary upsets found in the steady-state current limit (SSCL)-based DTFC. The fast changes in the torque and stator flux linkage improve the dynamic responses significantly over a wide constant-power operating region. The control strategy was evaluated on a 900W IPMSM in both simulations and experiments.

In optical disk drives, a conventional control method in the presence of surface defect is holding the previous tracking control command. It is known that the method has a long settling time. This paper proposes a new control method which reduces the settling time. An optical head generally has coupled dynamics between focusing and tracking servo system. We present how to compensate the coupled dynamics so that reduced settling time is achieved. It is verified by experiments that the proposed method brings an improved performance in the presence of surface defect as well as in the normal operating condition.
