Multi-Valued(MV) sequential logic circuits are proposed which are free from HAZARD. In this paper, HAZARD is classified Function and Logic HAZARD, and MV switching function in which they are eliminated is described. Also, the basic MV memory elements which can be realized without HAZARD are presented, so that suggest the realizability in the large-scale MV logic system based on these elements.

A DC-DC Converter operates in CCM(Continuous Coundcution Mode), DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode), CRM(Critical Conduction Mode). The CRM is boundary between CCM and DCM. If a DC-DC converter is designed to operate in CRM, its inductor volume can decrease and power loss which caused by switch and diode can decrease. In this paper, the DC-DC converter which operates in CRM is applied to a solar array regulator(SAR) for the satellite. The switching frequency of the CRM boost SAR changes according to input and output condition. The switching frequency limit logic is applied to limit the maximum switching frequency. Meanwhile, the small signal transfer function of the CRM boost SAR is simple, so the controller design is also simple. In this paper, the small signal transfer function from control reference to solar array voltage is induced. And the voltage controller is designed based on the small signal transfer function. Finally, the CRM boost SAR is verified by simulation.

There are many researches showing that when a process change has occurred, variable sampling intervals (VSI) control chart is better than the fixed sampling interval (FSI) control chart in terms of reducing the required time to signal. When the process engineers use VSI control procedure, frequent switching between different sampling intervals can be a complicating factor. However, average number of samples to signal (ANSS), which is the amount of required samples to signal, and average time to signal (ATS) do not provide any control statistics about switching performances of VSI charts. In this study, we evaluate numerical switching performances of multivariate VSI EWMA chart including average number of switches to signal (ANSW) and average switching rate (ASWR). In addition, numerical study has been carried out to examine how to improve the performance of considered chart with accumulate-combine approach under several different smoothing constant and sample size. In conclusion, process engineers, who want to manage the correlation coefficients of related quality variables, are recommended to make sample size as large and smoothing constant as small as possible under permission of process conditions.

This paper has proposed a controller switching scheme for full-envelope aircraft control using the bumpless transfer implementation algorithm developed recently. This switching scheme has combined by proper rules the common existing method which switches the controller according to attitude and mach number of the aircraft with an optimization method which uses the cost function relating to bump phenomenon by means of controller switching criterion. This paper exemplifies the control performance improvement via simulations applied to a high performance aircraft benchmark problem in a wide operating range to test the proposed controller switching scheme.

The application of soft-switching techniques is increasing in the DC/DC converter area. It is important to design soft-switching parameters to ensure the converter operates properly and efficiently. An optimized design method is presented in this paper. The objective function is the total power loss of a converter, while the variables are soft-switching parameters and the constraints are the electrical requirements for soft-switching. Firstly, a response surface methodology (RSM) model with a high precision is built, and the rough optimized parameters can be obtained with the help of a genetic algorithm (GA) in the solution space determined by the constraints. Secondly, a re-optimization is conducted with a SPICE model and a GA, and accurate optimized parameters can be obtained. Simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method performs well in terms of a wide adaptability, efficiency, and global optimization.

Multilevel inverters have appeared as a successful and utilitarian solution in many power applications. The prime objective of an inverter is to keep the fundamental component of the output voltage of a multilevel inverter at a preferred value. Equally important is the need to keep the harmonic components in the output voltage within stated harmonic limits. Therefore, the basis of this research is to develop a harmonic minimization function that optimizes the switching angles of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. Due to benefits of the Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm, it is applied to determine the switching angles, which are further used to generate the switching pattern for firing the H-bridges of multilevel inverter. Simulation results are compared with SPWM based firing scheme. The switching frequency for SPWM firing scheme is taken as 200 Hz since the switching losses are increased when switching frequency is high. To validate the ability of Cuckoo Search optimized firing scheme in minimization of harmonics, experimental results obtained from hardware prototype of Five Level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter equipped with a FPGA controller are presented to verify the simulation results.

In order to stabilize linear time-invariant systems with the unknown system matrix, a piecewise constant linear state feedback control law including switching logic is developed. A number of feedback gain matrices are first precomputed by solving the Algebraic Riccati Equation with prescribed degree of stability, and then are switched over in a direction to increase degree of stability. Switching stops when a Lyapunov function shows the decreasing property, and hence switching times are finite.

In this paper, a method for constructing Galois switching functions is presented. Single variable Galois switching function is constructed at fi tost by developing Lagrange's Interpolating formula into polynomial forms and then the constructing theory for two variables is driveloped. With these developed theory, multitle-variable Galois switching functions are constructed. Some examples for illustrating the theory are adopted from the existing papers and the results quite agree with the ones in the other papers.

This paper presents a novel prototype of active voltage-clamping capacitor-assisted edge resonant soft switching PWM inverter operating at a constant frequency variable power (VPCF) regulation scheme, which is suitable for consumer high-power induction-heating cooking appliances. New generation IGBT with a trench gate is particularly improved in order to reduce conduction loss due to its lowered saturation voltage characteristics. The soft switching load resonant and quasi-resonant inverter designed distinctively using the latest IGBTs is evaluated from an experimental point of view.

Ferroelectric properties and reliability characteristics of(111) and (100) preferentially oriented tetragonal Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) thin film capacitors have been investigated as a function of the top electrode thickness. The (111) preferentially oriented film exhibits 180$^{\circ}$domain switching process with better squareness of hysterisis loop and abrupt change of small singal capacitance-voltage comparing to the (100) preferentially oriented film having 90$^{\circ}$ domain switching process. The domain swithcing process of tetragonal phase PZT is different from that of rhobohedral phase. The film with thinner top electrode shows less initial switching polarization due to less compressive stress but it exhibits better endurance characteristics due to enhancing partial switching region.
