The basic element of the EMS suspension is the electromagnet system, which suspends the vehicle without contact by attracting forces to the rails at the guideway. The suspension of a vehicle by attractive magnetic forces is inherently unstable and consequently it is continuously adjusted by the strength of the suspending electromagnet from rail irregularity and bending of the guideway. In order to improve reliable tracking, it needs to get feedback signals without measurement delay time. In this paper the concept of feedback control system with Kalman Filter in EMS is proposed. The input signals in the feedback control system are an air-gap and an acceleration signal. The air-gap signal with noise from the gap sensor is transformed to the filtered air-gap signal y without measurement delay time by using Kalman Filter. The filtered air-gap signal is transformed to a relative velocity and a relative acceleration signal. Then it multiplies these values by gain matrix in order to get the actuator's reference voltage value. The simulation results show that the dynamic responses of the suspension system can be improved by reducing the influence of measurement delay time of air-gap signals.

Purpose Through the provision of real time performance information about who is contributing and who is not in Electronic Brainstorming, prior studies evidenced a significant performance gain. However, it has been observed that the quantity-based performance feedback alone does not have enough restrictiveness to guide the performance behavior throughout the idea generation session. We included the notion of goal setting into the process performance feedback mechanism in an effort to regulate performance behavior and to better understand why individuals in Electronic Brainstorming are not obtaining enough stimulation benefits in the group interaction process. Design/methodology/approach We had developed real-time visual process performance feedback and modified to include goal setting. This mechanism visually displays individuals' performances two-dimensionally (quality for each idea vertically and quantity of ideas horizontally along with their goals). As individuals' contributions accumulate, the mechanism reveals performance histories by connecting the sequence of ideas in a time-series format, telling stories of individuals' performances. Then, we compared the performance outcome from this study with the outcomes from two prior studies (i.e., Jung et al., 2010 and Jung, 2014). Findings The results showed that the inclusion of goal setting into the process performance feedback solved the issue in the previous study. That was the lower than expected magnitude of performance enhancement of process performance feedback when compared to that of quantity-based feedback. It appears that goals as a motivational technique provide standards for systematic self-evaluation, serving as a cue to regulate performance behavior by strengthening the linkage between effort and performance. Thus, goals seem to set up a self-fulfilling prophecy, preconditioning better performance. However, the outcome still showed that its performance magnitude is unsatisfactory because the outcome of this study turned out to be close to the outcome of just quantity-based performance feedback in Jung et al.'s (2010) study.

Acoustic feedback is perceived as whistling or howling, which is a major complaint of hearing-aids users. Acoustic feedback cancellation is important in hearing-aids because acoustic feedback degrades performance of the hearing aid device by reducing maximum insertion gain. Adaptive systems for estimate acoustic feedback path and feedback suppression algorithms have been proposed in order to solve this problem. A typical feedback cancellation algorithm is LMS(least mean squares) because of its computational efficiency. However it has problem of convergence performance in high correlated input signal. In this paper, we propose a new variable step-size normalized LMS(least mean squares) algorithm using VAD(voice activity detection) to overcome the limitation of the LMS algorithm. The VAD algorithm is GSAP(global speech absence probability) and the feedback cancellation algorithm is normalized LMS. The proposed algorithm applies different step-size between voice and non-voice using VAD, for high stability, fast convergence speed and low misalignment when correlated inputs, such as speech. The result of simulation with white noise mixed speech signal, the proposed algorithm shows high performance then traditional algorithm in terms of stability, convergence speed and misalignment.

Background and Objectives: There is a scant evidence on the use of simulations in audiology (especially in Malaysia) for case-history taking, although this technique is widely used for training medical and nursing students. Feedback is one of the important components in simulations training; however, it is unknown if feedback by instructors could influence the simulated patient (SP) training outcome for case-history taking among audiology students. Aim of the present study is to determine whether the SP training with feedback in addition to the standard role-play and seminar training is an effective learning tool for audiology case-history taking. Subjects and Methods: Twenty-six second-year undergraduate audiology students participated. A cross-over study design was used. All students initially attended two hours of seminar and role-play sessions. They were then divided into three types of training, 1) SP training (Group A), 2) SP with feedback (Group B), and 3) a non-additional training group (Group C). After two training sessions, the students changed their types of training to, 1) Group A and C: SP training with feedback, and 2) Group B: non-additional training. All the groups were assessed at three points: 1) pre-test, 2) intermediate, and 3) post-test. The normalized median score differences between and within the respective groups were analysed using non-parametric tests at 95% confidence intervals. Results: Groups with additional SP trainings (with and without feedback) showed a significantly higher normalized gain score than no training group (p<0.05). Conclusions: The SP training (with/without feedback) is a beneficial learning tool for history taking to students in audiology major.

본 논문에서는 복소 벡터 동기 좌표계 비례 적분(PI) 전류 제어기의 안티 와인드업(anti-windup)이득 설정에 대해 논의한다. 복소 벡터 동기 좌표계 비례 적분 전류 제어기는 시스템 제정수 변동에 기존의 비례 적분 전류 제어기 보다 더 강인한 특성을 보인다. 복소 벡터 전류 제어기 역시 적분기를 포함하고 있으며, 엑츄에이터(actuator)의 물리적인 한계로 전압이 포화되는 경우에는 안티 와인드업이 필요하게 되고, 적절치 못한 안티 와인드업 이득 설정은 제어 시스템의 동특성을 저하시킬 수 있다. 따라서 복소 벡터 동기 좌표계 비례 적분 전류 제어기에 적합한 안티 와인드업 이득을 제안하였고, 제안된 알고리즘의 유효성은 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 무반사 코팅을 하지 않은, 두 개의 거울 면을 갖는 1.55um 파장용 DFB(Distributed Feedback) 레이저에서 굴절률 격자와 이득 격자가 동시에 존재할 때, 해석 프로그램을 개발하여 종 방향으로 발진 모드의 빔 분포를 해석하였다. 굴절률 격자와 이득 격자가 거울 면에서 갖는 위상 값의 변화에 따라서, δL<0인 경우에 대하여, DFB 레이저의 발진 모드에 대한 발진 이득, 빔 분포 |R(z)|와 |S(z)|, 그리고 방사전력비 P_l/P_r를 비교 분석하였다. 거울 면에서의 격자 위상 값에 관계없이 발진 모드의 문턱 전류를 낮추고 주파수 안정성을 높이기 위해서는, κL이 8보다 커야한다.

본 논문에서는 직교주파수분할다중접속(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 하향링크 시스템에서 부반송파 별 채널 이득(channel gain)이 다름을 이용하여 시스템의 용량을 향상시킬 수 있는 핸드오버 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법에서 핸드오버 중인 사용자는 소스 기지국(source base station)과 타겟 기지국(target base station)에서 할당 받은 부반송파 중 강한 채널이득을 가진 부반송파를 선택해 줌으로써 이득을 얻는다. 부반송파 선택 과정에서 탈락한 부반송파에 대한 정보는 기지국으로 피드백(feedback)되어 사용하지 않도록 하여 시스템 전체의 간섭(interference)량을 줄인다. 제안하는 기법은 핸드오버하고 있는 사용자의 오수신 확률을 22% 줄였으며, 이에 따라 시스템 전체의 전송률이 향상된다.

PID 제어기는 산업자동화 설비에 널리 쓰이고 있다. 하지만 시스템 특성이 간헐 또는 연속적으로 변화할 때에 정밀제어를 위한 새로운 매개변수 결정이 쉽지 않다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 본 논문에서는 PID 제어기와 같은 기능을 갖는 신경망이득 자동조절기를 제안 하였다. 시스템의 적절한 궤환제어 이득은 델타 학습규칙에 의해서 결정된다. 제안된 신경망이득 자동조절기의 기능은 유도 전동기의 속도제어 실험에 의해 확인하였다.

In this paper, we describe the synthesis of robust and non-fragile $H^{\infty}$ state feedback controllers for linear systems with affine parameter uncertainties, as well as a static state feedback controller with poly topic uncertainty. The sufficient condition of controller existence, the design method of robust and non-fragile $H^{\infty}$ static state feedback controller with fuzzy compensator, and the region of controllers that satisfies non-fragility are presented. We show that the resulting controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed loop system in spite of controller gain variations within a resulted polytopic region.
