Conventional streetlight with the not-adjustable light distribution characteristic is generating light pollution such as glare, damage to the crops and disturbed sleep, because beam of streetlight is not distributed evenly according to the surrounding areas and road conditions. In this paper, we proposed the new structure LED streetlight controlled light irradiation angle according to the surrounding areas and road conditions. Proposed LED streetlight are available to the adjustable light distribution characteristic using the half-circle angle control device. Result of measurement and simulation, beam angle is made available to control at least from $100^{\circ}$ up to $154^{\circ}$, average illumination exceeded 15% of KS regulation and overall uniformity exceeded more than 50% of KS regulation. the Developed large capacity LED streetlight luminaire is considered to minimize glare and light pollution and optimize uniformity ratio of illuminance.

A rectangular-shaped PET system with an adjustable gantry (AGPET) has been developed for imaging small animals. The AGPET system employs a new depth of interaction (DOI) method using a depth dependent reflector patterns and a new digital time pickoff method based on the pulse reconstruction method. To evaluate the performance of the AGPET, timing resolution, intrinsic spatial resolution and point source images were acquired. The timing resolution and intrinsic spatial resolution were measured using two detector modules and Na-22 gamma source. The PET images were acquired in two field of view (FOV) sizes, 30 mm and 90 mm, to demonstrate the characteristic of the AGPET. As a result of in the experiment results, the timing resolution was 0.9 ns using the pulse reconstruction method based on the bi-exponential model. The intrinsic spatial resolution was an average of 1.7 mm and the spatial resolution of PET images after DOI correction was 2.08 mm and 2.25 mm at the centers of 30 mm and 90 mm FOV, respectively. The results show that the proposed AGPET system provided higher sensitivity and resolution for small animal imaging.

Generally, the Doubly Salient Machine such as Switched Reluctance Motor doesn't have Permanent Magnet, it sometimes adopts permanent magnet or DC filed winding for high efficiency or adjustable speed control. In this paper, adjustable speed range is compared for Doubly Salient Permanent Magnet Machine (DSPM), Brushless Doubly Fed Doubly Salient Machine (BDFDS) and Hybrid Excited Doubly Salient Machine (HEDS). Especially, air-gap flux density to the DC field current is shown and the operating speed as the field-weakening is estimated.

In this paper, an unequal 1:N Wilkinson power divider with adjustable dividing ratio is proposed. The proposed unequal power divider is composed of basic Wilkinson structure. It consists of rectangular-shaped defected ground structure (DGS), isolated island pattern in DGS, and varactor diodes of which capacitance depends on bias voltage. The characteristic impedance value of microstrip line having DGS goes up and down by controlling bias voltage for diodes, and consequently the power dividing ratio(N) is adjusted. The obtained N from measurement is $2.59{\sim}10.4$ which mean the proposed divider has adjustable unequal dividing ratio.

In this paper, a small inverted-F antenna with adjustable characteristics is proposed with use of lumped elements, capacitor and resistor. Capacitor is inserted between end of the antenna and ground for size reduction and tuning of resonant frequency. On the other hand, $0{\Omega}$ resistor is replaced as the short line connected to ground. The movement of short point due to use of $0{\Omega}$ resistor results in providing variation of input impedance. Therefore optimum characteristics can be obtained only by proper choice of capacitor and short point without redesign of it's geometry. In order to check the validity, the proposed antenna is designed and fabricated for 2.4 GHz frequency band, and then is applied to a product of Zigbee wireless remote controller. As a result, the size of applied antenna is $8.5{\times}4.5mm^2$ and it is observed that the measured bandwidth and antenna gain are 150 MHz and 2 dBi respectively without redesign of the antenna.

2G HTS tapes are widely used for various electric machines. In addition, stacked or parallel connected HTS tapes are essentially used to raise transport current level for large capacity electric machines. Therefore, critical current characteristic of stacked tapes need to be studied. Recently developed 2G HTS tapes are fabricated with various defects doping so that tapes possess pinning center to improve the critical current characteristic. During this process, the critical current is determined minimum value in not perpendicular magnetic field but a specific magnetic field angle according to the reported research. However, the effects of magnetic field angle to critical current of multi-stacked 2G HTS tapes have not been examined. In this paper, field coil which is a race-track coil wound by using an HTS tape with iron-core was fabricated to apply angle adjustable magnetic field to the 2G HTS tape samples. We measured critical current of single and multi-stacked two tapes that have different characteristic depending on various magnetic field angle and magnitude in liquid nitrogen environment. Furthermore, results of single and multi-stacked tapes were compared and analyzed.

Positioning system is widely used for many practical applications. This system requires a good controller to achieve high accuracy and fast response with simple and self-adjustable design. In order to satisfy the above requirements, a new practical controller for positioning systems, namely nominal characteristic trajectory following (NCTF) controller with PI compensator, has been proposed. However, the effect of actuator saturation can not be completely compensated for integrator windup when the object parameters vary. This paper presents a method to improve the NCTF controller by overcoming the problem of integrator windup by adopting a fuzzy system. The improvement of the NCTF controller is evaluated through simulation using a rotary positioning system. The simulation result has demonstrated the effectiveness of the compensated NCTF in overcoming the problem of integrator windup.

In this paper, a method deciding the permissible gains of the P and PT controllers for a retarded process under stable condition is proposed. For analysis, the controlled process is assumed to be first-order system with time delay. At first, the adjustable parameter sets causing stability limit are obtained based on the frequency domain condition which makes the roots of the characteristic equation locate on the imaginary axis. And the cut-in frequency ${\omega}_p$ to bring the parameter set to P control from PI control is derived is derived in terms of L and $T_m$ then ${\omega}_p$ is used to compute the maximum gain with stable condition. The results indicate that the permissible controller gains can be described by a unique if parameters L and $T_m$ are know.

The harmonic impedance characteristic of a traction power supply system (TPSS) is necessary for taking actions to suppress the high-order harmonic resonances caused by AC electric locomotives. This paper proposes a controllable harmonic generating method (CHGM) for measuring the TPSS harmonic impedance by injecting harmonic disturbances of different frequencies and amplitudes into the TPSS. This method applies phase shifted pulse-width modulation (PSPWM) and ensures that the undesired sideband harmonics can be negligible while the desired harmonic is both controllable and adjustable. Multiple harmonics can be emitted at the same time. The implementation of the method is also presented. Simulations are carried out to validate the performance of the proposed method. Finally, experimental results on a 5 H-bridge converters platform verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

SRM (switched reluctance motor) provides an excellent adjustable speed and torque characteristics. SRM has the possibility of maintaining full power over a wide speed range. So, many attempts are being done from home appliances to industrial applications. Especially, a traction drive of an SRM is one of a good application for it's DC-series characteristic. However, because of the switching mechanism and reluctance torque, it has some disadvantage of noise and vibration. It is difficult to adopt to an appliance demanding silency. Performance and noise tests with 6/4 and 12/8 SRM were excuted to compare the characteristics.
