  • This is a work-in progress paper which the researcher is working with an English teacher in Waseda University in Japan. We started the same project in the year of 2001. This is a replication of the previous paper about the exchange project with Waseda University students. The exchange program with Waseda University students encouraged Howon University students in various ways. In this paper, the researcher also tried to show how to use authentic materials from the internet, TV, magazines and other resources of mass media. Using those materials were helpful to the students to improve their English ability. The result of this study will give positive impact to further studies.

  • This paper presents a Processing Engine (PE) which is used in Low Density Parity Codec (LDPC) application with a novel charge-recovery logic called pseudo-NMOS boost logic (pNBL), to achieve high-speed and low power dissipation. pNBL is a high-overdriven and low area consuming charge recovery logic, which belongs to boost logic family. Proposed Processing Engine is used in LDPC circuit to reduce operating power dissipation and increase the processing speed. To demonstrate the performance of proposed PE, a test chip is designed and fabricated with 0.18 2m CMOS technology. Simulation results indicate that proposed PE with pNBL dissipates only 1 pJ/cycle when working at the frequency of 403 MHz, which is only 36% of PE with the conventional static CMOS gates. The measurement results show that the test chip can work as high as 609 MHz with the energy dissipation of 2.1 pJ/cycle.

  • This paper describes the mechanism of a new biped machine capable of doing human-robot cooperation work. The biped machine, WABIAN-2 is made of two seven degrees of freedom (DOF) legs, a two DOF waist and no DOF trunk. Its leg system consists of two three DOF ankles, two one DOF knees and two three DOF hips to deal with various walk motions. Its height is about 1.2[m], and its weight is 40[kg]. It is designed with large movable range as a human. Also, a knee stretch walk pattern generation for the biped machine to perform natural walk like a human is discussed in this paper. Its leg motion is compensated by using the motion of its waist. Basic knee stretch walk experiments using WABIAN-2 are conducted on the plane, and the validity of its mechanism and walk pattern generator is verified.

  • This paper deals with the problem of extraction of voice signal embedded in 1/f noise. We propose the extraction method using wavelet. This method is based on Wornell's modelling which can construct 1/f process in terms of uncorrelated variables and is well suited on treating 1/f process. Finally, we show further describe our method through simulation.

  • This paper presents a stability condition for Astrom's minimal variance control(MVC) with mismatch of time delay for a SISO ARMAX model containing time delay. The proof of the condition presented here is based on the characteristic equation in the feedback system and its magnitude. This condition, from easy numerical calculation, is able to find the stability of the feedback system without knowing the real time delay.

  • Multi-loop control of a boost converter needs a current-sensing circuit to detect the inductor current. Current sensorless multi-loop control reduces the cost, size and weight of the converter. The Luenberger observer (LO) is widely used to estimate the inductor current for current sensorless control of a switching converter. However, the design of the LO-based sensorless multi-loop control has not been well presented, so far. In this paper, a closed-loop characteristics evaluation method is proposed to design an LO-based current sensorless multi-loop control for boost converters. Simulations show evaluations of the closed-loop characteristics. Practical experiments on a digital processor confirm the simulations.

  • This study was conducted for the purpose of evaluating the impressions gained by the members of the audience who have seen contents in a dome theater, based on their seating positions. Dome Theater Gaia provided the environment where the contents for evaluation were to be presented, and enquete (survey) was used as the investigative method. The survey results showed that the presentation of wide-viewing-angle three-dimensional (3D) contents proved effective in enhancing the 3D effect and the presence in a dome theater. Moreover, the study results confirmed that in relation to the impression evaluation of the contents for different seating positions, the optimal seating position varied according to the presentation method of the 3D and 2D contents.
