In this study, effects of five raw water quality parameters (turbidity, odor compounds caused by algae, filter clogging caused by algae, pH increase caused by algae, and organic matter) on improvements and operations costs of typical water treatment plant (WTP) were estimated. The raw water quality parameters were assumed the worst possible conditions based on the past data and costs were subsequently estimated. Results showed that new water treatment facilities were needed, such as a selective intake system, an advanced water treatment processes, a dual media filter, a carbonation facility, and a re-chlorination facility depending on water quality. Furthermore, changes needed to be made in WTP operations, such as adding powered activated carbon, increasing the injection of chlorine, adding coagulation aid, increasing the discharge of backwashed water, and increasing the operation time of dewatering facilities. Such findings showed that to reliably produce high-quality tap water and reduce water treatment costs, continuous improvements to the quality of water sources are needed.

This paper describes a power control scheme to improve the performance of a fuel cell battery hybrid power source for residential application. The proposed power control scheme includes a power control strategy to control the power flow of the fuel cell hybrid power system and a digital control technique for a front-end dc-dc converter of the fuel cell. The power control strategy enables the fuel cell to operate within the high efficiency region defined by the polarization curve and efficiency curve of the fuel cell. A dual boost converter with digital control is applied as a front-end dc-dc converter to control the fuel cell output power. The digital control technique of the converter employs a moving-average digital filter into its voltage feedback loop to cancel the low frequency harmonic current drawn from the fuel cell and then limits the fuel cell output current to a current limit using a predictive current limiter to keep the fuel cell operation within the high efficiency region as well as to minimize the fuel cell oxygen starvation.

The purposes of this study were to analyze the muscle activities and the characteristics of muscle recruting patterns of lower limb for crouching start technique using four elite splint. The EMG technique was used to record muscle activities of both right and left sides of retus femoris, vastus medialis, biceps femoris, and gastrocnemius. Eight surface electrodes were placed on the surface of the selected muscles and one ground electrode was also attached on the back of neck(C7). One video camera was also used to record the crouching start motion to define 6 events and 5 phases for further analysis. The raw EMG data were filtered with band pass filter(10-350) to remove artifacts and then low pass filtered(4Hz) to find the linear envelope which resemble muscle tension curve. This filter EMG data were normalized to MVIC for the purpose of comparison between right and left sides muscle. The results of this study were as follows. All four subjects showed that vastus medialis muscle activity was comparatively higher than those of retus femoris, biceps femoris, gastrocnemius. And left side of muscle activity was comparatively higher than right side of muscle activity. Therefore, when the subjects starting out crouching start position, we recognized that the muscle of lower limb showed interaction effect by each muscle.

A novel approach for frequency-tripling vector signal generation via balanced detection without precoding and optical filter is proposed. The scheme is mainly utilizing an integrated dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DPQPSK) modulator. In the DPQPSK modulator, one QPSK modulator is driven by an RF signal to generate high-order optical sidebands, while the other QPSK modulator is modulated by I/Q data streams to produce baseband vector signal as an optical carrier. After that, a frequency-tripling 16-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16QAM) vector millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal can be obtained by balanced detection. The proposed scheme can reduce the complexity of transmitter digital signal processing. The results show that, a 4 Gbaud baseband 16QAM vector signal can be generated at 30 GHz by frequency-tripling. After 10 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission, the constellation and eye diagrams of the generated vector signal perform well and a bit-error-rate (BER) below than 1e-3 can be achieved.

Geofencing supports unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operation by defining stay-in and stay-out regions. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has developed a prototype of the geofencing function, SAFEGUARD, which prevents stayout region violation by utilizing position estimates. Thus, SAFEGUARD depends on navigation system performance, and the safety risk associated with the navigation system uncertainty should be considered. This study presents a methodology to compute the safety risk assessment-based along-track position error bound under nominal and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) failure conditions. A Kalman filter system using pseudorange measurements as well as pseudorange rate measurements is considered for determining the position uncertainty induced by velocity uncertainty. The worst case pseudorange and pseudorange rate fault-based position error bound under the GNSS failure condition are derived by applying a Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor (RAIM). Position error bound simulations are also conducted for different GNSS fault hypotheses and constellation conditions with a GNSS/INS integrated navigation system. The results show that the proposed along-track position error bounds depend on satellite geometries caused by UAV attitude change and are reduced to about 40% of those of the single constellation case when using the dual constellation.

본 논문에서는 임의의 정지궤도 위성의 고출력증폭기(120 W급) 후단에 구성되는 X-대역 원통형 도파관 캐비티 필터의 고전력 핸들링 능력을 연구하고, 그 결과를 제시하였다. 필터의 차수는 6차로 정하였고, 공진기 크기를 원형통 캐비티 모드 차트로부터 도출한 후, 필터의 물리적인 기본 형상을 설계하였다. 이차 전자모델(SEM)인 전자수 진화 시뮬레이션 방법과 전압배율인자(VMF) 방법을 이 필터에 적용하여 멀티팩터(multipactor) 마진을 분석하고 비교하였다. 이 결과, VMF 방법이 전자수 진화 시뮬레이션 방법보다 더 낮은 멀티팩터 임계값을 제공하는 것으로 나타났다. VMF 방법으로 얻은 멀티팩터 분석 마진 값을 유럽표준(ECSS)에서 정하는 기준 마진(단일 캐리어의 경우 8 dB)과 비교하여 실제 시험이 필요하다고 판단하였고, 유럽우주기구(ESA) 시설에서 수행된 시험에서 540 W까지 RF 신호를 입력하였을 때 멀티팩터가 발생하지 않음을 확인하였다. 따라서 분석과 시험을 통하여 X-대역 원통형 도파관 캐비티 필터는 정지궤도에서 운용에 필요한 충분한 고전력 취급 능력이 있음을 보였다.

전기자동차와 신재생에너지에 관한 관심이 높아지면서 건설장비 산업분야에서도 리튬이온 배터리를 접목하려는 요구가 높아지고 있다. 건설중장비는 건설 현장의 다양한 작업으로 인해 전류 용량의 감소가 급속히 진행되기 때문에 SOC(State of Charge) 및 SOH(State of Health) 같은 배터리의 상태를 더욱 정확하게 추정할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 SOC와 SOH를 동시에 추정이 가능한 적응제어 기법 기반 이중확장칼만필터(Dual Extended Kalman Filter, DEKF) 알고리즘을 이용하여 실제 측정데이터와의 오차를 비교하였다. 배터리 충전 상태 예측을 위해 배터리 셀을 완전 충전 후 0.2C-rate조건에서 SOC 5% 간격으로 OCV를 측정하였고, 배터리의 열화를 판단할 수 있는 건전성 지표 확보를 위해 다양한 C-rate(0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5C rate) 조건에서 50 Cycle 동안 노화 실험을 수행하였다. DEKF를 이용한 SOC 및 SOH 추정 오차는 C-rate이 커질수록 커지는 경향을 보였으며 특히 SOC 추정결과, 0.2, 0.5 및 1C-rate에서 6%이하로 나타남을 확인하였다. 또한 SOH 추정 결과는 0.2 와 0.3C-rate에서 각각 최대오차 1.0% 및 1.3% 이내로 좋은 성능을 보이는 것으로 확인하였다. 다만, C-rate가 0.5C-rate에서 1.5C-rate으로 증가함에 따라 추정오차도 1.5%에서 2%로 다소 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으나, 모든 C-rate 조건에서 DEKF를 사용한 SOH의 추정 성능은 약 2% 이내인 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 Xilinx의 Zynq SoC (system on chip)를 이용하여 초음파 신호의 TOF (Time of Flight)를 측정한다. TOF는 특정 거리를 이동하는 데 소요되는 RF (radio frequency) 기준 신호와 초음파 신호의 시간차이로 부터 계산되고, 공기중 초음파의 속도를 곱하여 초음파 이동거리를 알아낸다. 이를 위해 Zynq의 내장 ADC, FIR (finite impulse response) 필터, Kalman 필터로부터 초음파 펄스를 생성하고, RF 인터페이스로부터 RF 기준펄스를 생성한다. Kalman 필터와 RF 인터페이스는 baremetal 멀티프로세싱에 의해 Zynq의 듀얼 프로세서 코어에 c-코드로 프로그래밍하고 나머지 구성 요소들은 Zynq의 FPGA 내에 설계하여, HW/SW co-design을 구현한다. 이를 통해 HW design에 비해 Zynq 자원의 가용률을 낮추고, 설계 시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있었다. 설계 툴로 Vivado IDE (integrated design environment)를 이용하여, 전체 신호처리 시스템을 계층적 블록 다이어그램의 형태로 설계하였다.
