Since the power capacity needed for the propulsion of large ships is very large, a multiphase AC induction propulsion mode is generally adopted to meet the higher requirements of reliability, redundancy and maintainability. This paper gives a detailed description of the development of a 20MW fifteen-phase PWM driver for advanced fifteen-phase propulsion induction motors with a special third-harmonic injection in terms of the main circuit hardware, control system design, experiments, etc. The adoption of the modular design method for the main circuit hardware design can make the enclosed mechanical structure simple and maintainable. It can also avoid the larger switch stresses caused by the multiple turn on of the IGBTs in conventional large-capacity converter systems. The use of the distributed controller design method based on a high-speed fiber-optic ring net for the control system can overcome such disadvantages as the poor reliability and long maintenance times arising from the conventional centralized controller which is designed according to point-to-point communication. Finally, the performance of the 20MW PWM driver is verified by experimentation on a new fifteen-phase induction propulsion motor.

This paper describes the application of a wireless sensor network to a 31 meter-tall medieval tower located in the city of Trento, Italy. The effort is motivated by preservation of the integrity of a set of frescoes decorating the room on the second floor, representing one of most important International Gothic artworks in Europe. The specific application demanded development of customized hardware and software. The wireless module selected as the core platform allows reliable wireless communication at low cost with a long service life. Sensors include accelerometers, deformation gauges, and thermometers. A multi-hop data collection protocol was applied in the software to improve the system's flexibility and scalability. The system has been operating since September 2008, and in recent months the data loss ratio was estimated as less than 0.01%. The data acquired so far are in agreement with the prediction resulting a priori from the 3-dimensional FEM. Based on these data a Bayesian updating procedure is employed to real-time estimate the probability of abnormal condition states. This first period of operation demonstrated the stability and reliability of the system, and its ability to recognize any possible occurrence of abnormal conditions that could jeopardize the integrity of the frescos.

고출력 레이저에 의한 영상 센서의 손상 분석 연구를 수행하였다. 고출력 레이저에 의한 금속의 손상에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어져 있지만, 상대적으로 고출력 레이저에 취약한 영상 시스템의 손상 연구는 미비한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 CMOS 영상 센서에 고출력 레이저가 조사 되었을 때, 영상 센서가 받는 손상에 대해 실험적으로 분석하였다. 고출력 레이저 소스로는 근적외선대역의 연속발진 광섬유 레이저를 사용하였으며, 레이저 세기와 조사시간에 따른 CMOS 영상 센서의 영구적 손상 및 영상 품질을 분석하였다. 그 결과 조사시간과 레이저세기가 증가함에 따라 먼저 색상 손상이 나타나고 이후 작동불능 상태가 되었으며, 이러한 손상은 조사시간보다 레이저 세기에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

A 64-channel magnetocardiogram (MCG) system using low-noise superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) planar gradiometers was developed for the measurements of cardiac magnetic fields generated by the heart electric activity. Owing to high flux-to-voltage transfers of double relaxation oscillation SQUID (DROS) sensors, the flux-locked loop electronics for SQUID operation could be made simpler than that of conventional DC SQUIDs, and the SQUID control was done automatically through a fiber-optic cable. The pickup coils are first-order planar gradiometers with a baseline of 4 em. The insert has 64 planar gradiometers as the sensing channels and were arranged to measure MCG field components tangential to the chest surface. When the 64-channel insert was in operation everyday, the average boil-off rate of the dewar was 3.6 Lid. The noise spectrum of the SQUID planar gradiometer system was about 5 fT$_{rms}$/$\checkmark$Hz at 100 Hz, operated inside a moderately shielded room. The MCG measurements were done at a sampling rate of 500 Hz or 1 kHz, and realtime display of MCG traces and heart rate were displayed. After the acquisition, magnetic field mapping and current mapping could be done. From the magnetic and current information, parameters for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia were evaluated to be compared with other diagnostic methods.

A few years ago, for maintaining high stability and production yield of production equipment in a semiconductor fab, on-line monitoring of wafers is required, so that semiconductor manufacturers are investigating a software based process controlling scheme known as virtual metrology (VM). As semiconductor technology develops, the cost of fabrication tool/facility has reached its budget limit, and reducing metrology cost can obviously help to keep semiconductor manufacturing cost. By virtue of prediction, VM enables wafer-level control (or even down to site level), reduces within-lot variability, and increases process capability, $C_{pk}$. In this research, we have practiced VM on $SiO_2$ etch rate with optical emission spectroscopy(OES) data acquired in-situ while the process parameters are simultaneously correlated. To build process model of $SiO_2$ via, we first performed a series of etch runs according to the statistically designed experiment, called design of experiments (DOE). OES data are automatically logged with etch rate, and some OES spectra that correlated with $SiO_2$ etch rate is selected. Once the feature of OES data is selected, the preprocessed OES spectra is then used for in-situ sensor based VM modeling. ICP-RIE using 葰.56MHz, manufactured by Plasmart, Ltd. is employed in this experiment, and single fiber-optic attached for in-situ OES data acquisition. Before applying statistical feature selection, empirical feature selection of OES data is initially performed in order not to fall in a statistical misleading, which causes from random noise or large variation of insignificantly correlated responses with process itself. The accuracy of the proposed VM is still need to be developed in order to successfully replace the existing metrology, but it is no doubt that VM can support engineering decision of "go or not go" in the consecutive processing step.

This paper proposes the architecture and protocol of a data communication network for the safety system in nuclear power plants. First, we establish four design criteria with respect to determinability, reliability, separation and isolation, and verification/validation. Next we construct the architecture of the safety network for the following systems: PPS (Plant Protection System), ESF-CCS (Engineered Safety Features-Component Control System) and CPCS (Core Protection Calculator System). The safety network consists of 12 sub-networks and takes the form of a hierarchical star. Among 163 communication nodes are about 1600 origin-destination (OD) pairs created on their traffic demands. The OD pairs are allowed to exchange data only during the pre-assigned time slots. Finally, the communication protocol is designed in consideration of design factors for the safety network. The design factors include a network topology of star, fiber-optic transmission media, synchronous data transfer mode, point-to-point link configuration, and a periodic transmission schedule etc. The resulting protocol is the modification of IEEE 802.15.4 (LR-WPAN) MAC combined with IEEE 802.3 (Fast Ethernet) PHY. The MAC layer of IEEE 802.15.4 is simplified by eliminating some unnecessary (unctions. Most importantly, the optional TDMA-like scheme called the guaranteed time slot (GTS) is changed to be mandatory to guarantee the periodic data transfer. The proposed protocol is formally specified using the SDL. By performing simulations and validations using Telelogic Tau SDL Suite, we find that the proposed safety protocol fits well with the characteristics and the requirements of the safety system in nuclear power plants.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) gradually becomes a technique for ensuring the health and safety of civil infrastructures and is also an important approach for the research of the damage accumulation and disaster evolving characteristics of civil infrastructures. It is attracting prodigious research interests and the active development interests of scientists and engineers because a great number of civil infrastructures are planned and built every year in mainland China. In a SHM system the sheer number of accompanying wires, fiber optic cables, and other physical transmission medium is usually prohibitive, particularly for such structures as offshore platforms and long-span structures. Fortunately, with recent advances in technologies in sensing, wireless communication, and micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS), wireless sensor technique has been developing rapidly and is being used gradually in the SHM of civil engineering structures. In this paper, some recent advances in the research, development, and implementation of wireless sensors for the SHM of civil infrastructures in mainland China, especially in Dalian University of Technology (DUT) and Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), are introduced. Firstly, a kind of wireless digital acceleration sensors for structural global monitoring is designed and validated in an offshore structure model. Secondly, wireless inclination sensor systems based on Frequency-hopping techniques are developed and applied successfully to swing monitoring of large-scale hook structures. Thirdly, wireless acquisition systems integrating with different sensing materials, such as Polyvinylidene Fluoride(PVDF), strain gauge, piezoresistive stress/strain sensors fabricated by using the nickel powder-filled cement-based composite, are proposed for structural local monitoring, and validating the characteristics of the above materials. Finally, solutions to the key problem of finite energy for wireless sensors networks are discussed, with future works also being introduced, for example, the wireless sensor networks powered by corrosion signal for corrosion monitoring and rapid diagnosis for large structures.

본 논문에서는 크로스(CROSS) 포트에 광섬유 지연선로가 연결된 $2\times2$ 광 스위치들로 구성된 광섬유 지연선로 행렬과 다파장 광원을 이용한 2차원 위상 배열 안테나(Phased Array Antenna; PAA)용 광 실시간 지연선로(True Time-Delay ; TTD)의 구조를 제안하였고, 파장 의존형 광 TTD와 파장 비의존형 광 TTD를 결합하여 10-GHz 2차원 PAA용 2-비트$\times$4-비트 광 TTD를 제작하였다. 단위 시간 지연 차이가 각각 ${\Delta}T=12ps$와 $\Delta\tau=6ps$인 파장 의존형 광 TTD와 파장 비의존형 광 TTD의 모든 주사각에 대해서 시간지연을 측정하였다. 파장 의존형 광 TTD의 시간 지연 오차는 지터에 의해 최대 2.8 ps가 발생하였으며, 파장 비의존형 광 TTD의 경우에는 ${\pm}0.8ps$이하의 오차가 나타났다. 제안된 2차원 PAA용 광 TTD의 구조는 1차원 선형 PAA보다 높은 이득을 얻을 수 있고, 다파장 광원을 사용하므로 광 파워 및 파장의 안정성을 확보할 수 있으며, 전기적 스위치 제어기를 이용하여 $2\times2$ 광 스위치 행렬을 열(column) 단위로 절체하기 때문에 주사 빔 제어 속도가 빠르고 구동이 간단한 장점을 갖고 있다.
