This article explores the speed regulation problem of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems subjected to unknown time-varying disturbances. A continuous sliding mode control (CSMC) technique is introduced for the speed loop to enhance the robustness of PMSM systems and eliminate the chattering phenomenon caused by high-frequency switch function in the conventional control law. However, the high control gain of the CSMC law in the presence of strong disturbances leads to large steady-state speed fluctuations for PMSM systems. In many application fields, PMSM systems are affected by time-varying disturbances instead of constant disturbances. For example, electric bicycles are usually affected by changing environmental disturbances, including wind speeds, road conditions, etc. These disturbances may be in the form of constant, ramp, and parabolic disturbances. Hence, a generalized proportional integral (GPI) observer is employed to estimate these types of disturbances. Then, the disturbance estimation method and the aforementioned CSMC method are combined to establish a composite sliding mode control method called the CSMC+GPI method for the speed loop of PMSM systems. Contrary to the conventional sliding mode control technique, the proposed method completely eliminates the chattering phenomenon caused by the switching function in the conventional control law. Moreover, a small control gain for the CSMC+GPI method is chosen by feed-forwarding estimated values to the speed controller. Hence, the steady-state speed fluctuations are small. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by simulation and experimental result.

In this paper, a constant output power supply system for ozonizer is proposed to remove the noise of ozonizer and control the output of ozonizer using feedback control. The proposed system is based on the rouble control loop such as the outer voltage control loop and inner current control loop. In the proposed system overshoots and oscillations due to the computation time-delay are compensated by explicit incorporation of the time-delay in the current control loop transfer function. The inner current control loop is adopted by an internal model controller. The internal model controller is designed to a second order deadbeat reference-to-output response which means that its response reaches the reference in two sampling time including computational time-delays. The outer voltage control loop employing P-Resonance controller is proposed. The resonance controller has an infinite gain at resonant frequency, and the resonant frequency is set to the fundamental frequency of the reference voltage in this paper. Thus the outer voltage control loop causes no steady state error as regard to both magnitude and phase. The effectiveness of the proposed control system has been verified by the experimental results.

To investigate the influence of the variation of conic coefficient of the front surface on the RMS SD(Root Mean Square Spot Diameter) in a back focal plane, we use programs which are Cove V and LOSA 2.0. We consider a spectacle lens with back vertex power of -4.00D, diameter of 70 mm, the front surface powers which are 2.00D, 4.00D, 6.00D, and 8.00D, and the indices which are $n_d$=1.498, 1.523, 1.586, and 1.660, respectively. The RMS SD in the back focal plane and the thickness of an aspherical tens having the optimized conic constant are smaller than those of a spherical lens. The RMS SD in the back focal plane decreases as the front surface power decreases. From these results, we determine the optimized conic constant to improve the optical image quality and decrease RMS SD in the back focal plane.

An experimental study on an axial-type micro turbine which consists of maximum 6 stages is conducted to measure aerodynamic characteristics on each stage. This turbine has a 2.0 flow coefficient, 3.25 loading coefficient and 25.8mm mean diameter. The solidity of stators and rotors is within a 0.67~0.75, and the off-design performance is measured by changing the load after adjusting the mass flowrate and the total pressure to constant at inlet. A maximum specific output power of 2kW/kg/sec is obtained in one stage, but the increment of the specific output power with increasing stages is alleviated. In case of torque, the increment of the torque maintains to constant at low RPM region, but its increment become dull at high RPM region. The efficiency of the micro turbine becomes low because the tip gap effect is great due to the small blade, but it could be improved by increasing the stages.

Laboratory studies were carried out to find out the characteristics of humic acid treatment by activated carbon and ionized gas, In order to increase oxidation power of ionized gas for treating organic matter, we used granular activated carbon. By using $UV_{254}$, easy analysis method, we calculated humic acid concentration and $SCOD_{cr}$ concentration. For an initial concentration of humic acid, 10, 50 and 100ppm, the reaction rate constant by $UV_{254}$ was $8.98{\times}10^{-3}$/min, $5.62{\times}10^{-3}$/min and $4.8{\times}10^{-3}$/min respectively due to the same flow rate of ionized gas. When we added activated carbon to the ionized gas for humic acid treatment, the reaction rate constant increased in 4.13, 3.65 and 3.15 times. So, by using activated carbon in treating humic acid by ionized gas, oxidation power of organic matter by ionized gas was increased. The hydrophobic fraction constitutes 98% of organic matter for humic acid at the beginning. After the treatment using ionized gas for humic acid, the hydrophobic fraction decreased by 63~65% and the hydrophilic one increased by 35~37%. So, it was proved that the treatment increased the hydrophilic fraction in organic matter.

This paper evaluates the performance of an optic link in a frequency conversion based fiber-radio system. The proposed link structure simplifies a BS(base station) via making the MMW(millimeter wave) optical pilot tone generated in the CS(control station) be used in the uplink as well as in the downlink. To acquire the optical pilot tone, an EOM(electro-optic modulator) in the CS is biased in three different ways, i.e., MAB(maximum bias), MIB(minimum bias), QB(quadrature bias). We, depending on the biasing of the EOM, evaluate the link performances in two cases; one is for constant laser source power and the other for constant received DC optical power at a PD(photo detector). Based on the simulation results on the downlink CNR and the uplink SFDR(spurious free dynamic range), we finally deduce the effective EOM biasing for each case.

The effects of whole wheat flour on the Rheological Properties of dough gassing power of yeast S.cerevisiae and breadmaking properties were studied. The blending ratios of whole wheat flour to bread making flour were 0, 25, 50, 75 and water absorption in the farinography increasedlinerly from 62.5%in 100% bread making flour and 77.5% in 100% whole wheat flour. The hardness and cohesiveness of dough prepared with optimum moisture content was constant regardless of the blending ratio of whole wheat flour. whole wheat flour had no effect on the total gas production or the internal gas content in the dough at a constant moisture level but had detrimental effect on the loaf volume. In a dough at the optimum moisture level, whole wheat flour increased the two former parameters sensory evaluation indicated that the replacement in the range of 25 to 50% with whole wheat flour at the optimum moisture level was acceptable

This paper proposes a new $radix-2^4$ FFT algorithm and an efficient pipeline architecture based on this new algorithm for OFDM systems. The pipeline architecture based on the new algorithm has the same number of multipliers as that of the $radix-2^2$ algorithm. However, the multiplier complexity could be reduced by more than $30\%$ by replacing one half of the programmable complex multipliers by the newly proposed CSD constant complex multipliers. From synthesis simulations of a standard 0.35um CMOS Samsung process, a proposed CSD constant complex multiplier achieved more than $60\%$ area efficiency when compared with the conventional programmable complex multiplier. This promoted efficiency can be used for the design of a long length FFT processor in wireless OFDM applications which needs more power and area efficiency.

Because of a large number of subcarriers, the high PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) is the major drawback of NC-OFDM system used for wireless communication system. Comb type pilot assignment is more efficient and lower computational complexity for the channel estimation than the block type pilot. However, even if the CAZAC(Constant Amplitude Zero Autocorrelation) matrix transform is used for the PAPR reduction of the data symbols, PAPR increases when the pilot is inserted in comb type with the data symbols. Therefore, in this paper, we additionally use a new SLM technique in order to lower the PAPR again even in the comb type pilot. Also, a new SLM technique suggested in this paper does not need any additional bandwidth for sending selection information for SLM. This combined method has good PAPR reduction performance and efficient data transmission.

The microwave carbonization of rice chaff was performed, and their kinetics were compared to those of conventional thermal carbonization. Thermal carbonization was carried out at $300-600^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The weight loss and C/H mole ratio remarkably increased as increase of temperature, while there was no carbonization by microwave dielectric heating in spite of increasing incident power and irradiation time. However, microwave carbonization was successfully performed by addition of 6 wt％ of thermal carbonized rice chaff, it's C/H mole ratio is larger than 3.0, as a catalytic initiator to uncarbonized rice chaff, and the kinetics was depended on the incident power and irradiation time, resulting in the coincide with thermal carbonization to the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy of microwave carbonization was quite low as compared to that of thermal carbonization, while the kinetic constant was large. This is due to the internal volumetric heating characteristics of carbonized rice chaff by microwave. The effect of ash, and C/H mole ratio and amount of carbonized rice chaff were investigated on microwave carbonization.
