An active-matrix LCD using thin film transistors (TFT) has been widely recognized as having potential for high-quality color flat-panel displays. Pixel-Design Array Simulation Tool (PDAST) was used to profoundly understand the gate signal distortion and pixel charging capability, which are the most critical limiting factors for high-quality TFT-LCDs. Since PDAST can simulate the gate, data and pixel voltages of a certain pixel on TFT array at any time and at any location on an array, the effect of the resistivity of gate line material on the pixel operations can be effectively analyzed. The gate signal delay. pixel charging ratio, level-shift of the pixel voltage were simulated with varying the parameters. The information obtained from this study could be utilized to design the larger area and finer image quality panel.

Belt drives provide freedom to position the motor relative to the load and this phenomenon enables reduction of the robot arm inertia. It also facilitates quick response when employed in robotics. Unfortunately, the flexible dynamics deteriorates the positioning accuracy. Therefore, there exists a trade-off between the simplicity of the control strategy to reject time varying disturbance caused by flexibility of the belt and precision in performance. Resonance of the system further leads to vibrations and poor accuracy in positioning. In this paper, accurate positioning of a belt driven mechanism using a feed-forward compensator under maximum acceleration and velocity constraints is proposed. The proposed method plans the desired trajectory and modifies it to compensate delay dynamics and vibration. Being an offline method, the proposed method could be easily and effectively adopted to the existing systems without any modification of the hardware setup. The effectiveness of the proposed method was proven by experiments carried out with an actual belt driven system. The accuracy of the simulation study based on numerical methods was also verified with the analytical solutions derived.

최근 심해 해난 구조 통신, 해저 탐사와 환경오염에 대한 모니터링과 같은 서비스에서 수중 음향 채널을 통한 데이터의 전송은 고속이 요구되고 있다. 그러나 수중 음향 채널은 매우 복잡하고 지속적인 시변 특성을 가지므로 양질의 통신 서비스를 제공하기란 쉽지 않다. 이러한 수중 음향 채널의 열악한 환경상에서 고속의 데이터 전송율과 신뢰성 그리고 강건성을 제공하기 위해서 다중경로 지연확산과 동기오류를 가지는 OFDM 시스템에 대한 성능개선 방안을 제안한다.

Active power filter (APF) has been proved as a flexible solution for compensating the harmonic distortion caused by nonlinear loads in power distribution power systems. Digital repetitive control can achieve zero steady-state error tracking of any periodic signal while the sampling points within one repetitive cycle must be a known integer. However, the compensation performance of the APF would be degradation when the grid frequency varies. In this paper, an improved repetitive control scheme with frequency adaptive capability is presented to track any periodic signal with variable grid frequency, where the variable delay items caused by time-varying grid frequency are approximated with Pade approximants. Additionally, the stability criterion of proposed repetitive control scheme is given. A three-phase shunt APF experimental platform with proposed repetitive control scheme is built in our laboratory. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed repetitive control scheme.

Multi-hop wireless mesh networks (WMNs) suffer from significant packet losses due to insufficient available bandwidth and high channel error probability. To conquer packet losses, end-to-end (E2E) error control schemes have been proposed. However, in WMNs, E2E error control schemes are not effective in adapting to the time-varying network condition due to large delay. Thus, in this paper, we propose a network-adaptive error control for video streaming over WMNs that flexibly operates E2E and hop-by-hop (HbH) error control according to network condition. Moreover, to provide lightweight support at intermediate nodes for HbH error control, we use path-partition-based adaptation. To verify the proposed scheme, we implement it and evaluate its transport performance through MPEG-2 video streaming over a real IEEE 802.11a-based WMN testbed.

In a multi-sensor multi-target tracking systems, the local sensors have the role of tracking the target and transferring the measurements to the fusion center. The measurements from the same target can arrive out of sequence called the out-of-sequence measurements(OOSMs). Out-of-sequence measurements can arise at the fusion center due to communication delay and varying preprocessing time for different sensor platforms. In general, the track fusion occurs to enhance the tracking performance of the sensors using the measurements from the sensors at the fusion center. The target informations can wive at the fusion center with the clutter informations in cluttered environment. In this paper, the OOSM update step with MPDA(Most Probable Data Association) is introduced and tested in several cases with the various clutter density through the Monte Carlo simulation. The performance of the MPDA with OOSM update step is compared with the existing NN, PDA, and PDA-AI for the air target tracking in cluttered and out-of-sequence measurement environment. Simulation results show that MPDA with the OOSM has compatible root mean square errors with out-of-sequence PDA-AI filter and the MPDA is sufficient to be used in out-of-sequence environment.

Hand posture and force, which define aspects of the way an object is grasped, are features of robotic manipulation. A means for specifying these grasping "flavors" has been developed that uses an instrumented glove equipped with joint and force sensors. The new grasp specification system is being used at the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) in a Virtual Reality based Point-and-Direct (VR-PAD) robotics implementation. In the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Laboratory at Penn State, hand posture and force data were collected for manipulating bricks and other items that require varying amounts of force at multiple pressure points. The feasibility of measuring desired grasp characteristics was demonstrated for a modified Cyberglove impregnated with FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) pressure sensors in the fingertips. A joint/force model relating the parameters of finger articulation and pressure to various lifting tasks was validated for the instrumented "wired" glove. Operators using such a modified glove may ultimately be able to configure robot grasping tasks in environments involving hazardous waste remediation, flexible manufactruing, space operations and other flexible robotics applications. In each case, the VR-PAD approach improved the computational and delay problems of real-time multiple- degree-of-freedom force feedback telemanipulation.

본 논문에서는 Band-II(30-170 MHz) 대역의 아날로그 FM 라디오 방송을 디지털로 전환하기 위한 규격인 DRM+(Digital Radio Mondiale Plus) 시스템에 대한 비트오류율 성능을 Band II 대역 다중경로 채널모델 및 FM 인접채널 간섭 하에서 모의실험을 통하여 확인한다. 모의실험 결과에서 DRM+ 시스템은 이동속도가 300km/h인 경우에도 시변채널 환경에서 강건한 성능을 보인다. 그리고 다중경로 채널의 지연확산이 클수록 주파수 다이버시티에 따른 채널부호의 이득이 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한, FM 신호에 의한 인접채널 간섭이 존재하는 DRM+ 시스템의 10-4 비트오류율 성능을 보장하기 위해서는 반송파 주파수 간격이 150 kHz일 경우에 FM 간섭신호 대비 DRM+ 전력비율은 -30 dB 이상이 되어야 함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigate the resource allocation problem in time-varying heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNet) with multi-homing user equipments (UE). The stochastic optimization model is employed to maximize the network utility, which is defined as the difference between the HetNet's throughput and the total energy consumption cost. In harmony with the hierarchical architecture of HetNet, the problem of stochastic optimization of resource allocation is decomposed into two subproblems by the Lyapunov optimization theory, associated with the flow control in transport layer and the power allocation in physical (PHY) layer, respectively. For avoiding the signaling overhead, outdated dynamic information, and scalability issues, the distributed resource allocation method is developed for solving the two subproblems based on the primal-dual decomposition theory. After that, the adaptive resource allocation algorithm is developed to accommodate the timevarying wireless network only according to the current network state information, i.e. the queue state information (QSI) at radio access networks (RAN) and the channel state information (CSI) of RANs-UE links. The tradeoff between network utility and delay is derived, where the increase of delay is approximately linear in V and the increase of network utility is at the speed of 1/V with a control parameter V. Extensive simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

전력선을 통신선로로 이용시 전송신호는 전력선 채널특성인 주파수 선택적인 페이딩(fading)과 간섭 그리고 시변감쇠에 많은 영향을 받을 수 있다. 이러한 영향은 시변이며 임의의 주파수에서 일어나므로 예측하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 가정 혹은 소규모 사무실 내에서 비교적 저속 데이터를 안전하게 전송하는 전력선 모뎀을 구현하기 위해 대역확산 기법 중 실현이 비교적 용이하고 잡음 특성이 우수한 직접확산 방식을 적용하였다. 대역확산 기법을 적용할 경우 PN(pseudo noise)부호 발생회로와 복잡한 동기회로 등의 부가적인 하드웨어가 요구되지만, 본 논문에서는 이러한 하드웨어의 일부를 시스템 자체에 내장된 프로세서를 이용한 소프트웨어로 처리하였고, 복잡한 동기회로 대신 60 Hz의 전력신호를 이용한 간단한 동기 회로를 구성하였다. 구현된 동기회로는 대역확신 기법에 본질적인 동기획득 시간의 소요 문제를 제거할 수 있으며, 아울러 60 Hz의 전력신호 자체의 영교차 지터의 영향을 피하도록 설계되었다. 결과적으로 본 논문에서는 대역확산 기법을 적용하면서도 대역확산에 필요한 일부 하드웨어를 소프트웨어화함으로써 소형, 경량화를 이루며, 전력선 상에서 데이타를 안전하게 전송하는 전력선 모뎀을 구현하였다.
