In this paper, modal control with direct output feedback is formulated in a systematic manner for easy implementation. Its application to the seismic protection of structural systems is verified by a shaking table test, which involves a full-scale building model and an active bracing system as the control device. Two modal control cases, namely, one full-state feedback and one direct output feedback control were tested and compared. The experimental result shows that in mitigating the seismic response of building structures, modal control with direct output feedback can be as effective and efficient as that with full-state feedback control. For practical concerns, the control performance of the proposed method in the presence of sensor noise and stiffness modeling error was also investigated. The numerical result shows that although the control force may be increased, the maximum floor displacements of the controlled structure are very insensitive to sensor noise and modeling error.

This paper proposes a voice enhancing ear-protection system which is based on feedback active noise control(FBANC). The proposed system selectively suppresses the background noise and preserves the talking voice by controlling the adaptive algorithm with the voice activity period detection module. The noise reduction performance of the proposed noise canceling algorithm is analytically derived for the two key performance affecting parameters, i.e., electro-acoustic coupling distance and noise bandwidth. The proposed system is also implemented with a floating-point DSP system and its performance is experimentally tested to compare with the analytically derived results. The achieved levels of noise reduction for the three different noise bandwidths cases, i.e., 10Hz, 50Hz, and 90Hz, are high to show 17.05dB, 10.54dB and 8.99dB, respectively. The feasibility of the proposed system is also shown by the peak noise reduction achieved more than 25dB while preserving the voice component in the frequency range between 200-800Hz.

As device process technology advances, effective channel length, the thickness of gate oxide, and supply voltage decreases. This paper describes a novel electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device which has current feedback for high ESD immunity. A conventional Gate-Grounded NMOS (GGNMOS) transistor has only one ESD current path, which makes, the core circuit be in the safe region, so an GGNMOS transistor has low current immunity compared with our device which has current feedback path. To simulate our device, we use conventional $0.18\;{\mu}m$ technology parameters with a gate oxide thickness of $43\;{\AA}$ and power supply voltage of 1.8 V. Our simulation results indicate that the area of our ESD protection, device can be smaller than a GGNMOS transistor, and ESD immunity is better than a GGNMOS transistor.

본 논문에서는 부하전류에 따라 LDO(Low Drop Out) 레귤레이터의 효과적인 동작과 파괴 방지를 위해 ESD(Electro Static Discharge) 보호회로를 내장한 LDO 레귤레이터를 제안한다. 제안하는 LDO 레귤레이터는 additional feedback current 회로구조를 이용하여 LDO 레귤레이터의 출력전압에 따라 더욱 효과적으로 패스 트랜지스터의 게이트 노드 전압을 조절할 수 있다. 또한 기존의 ESD 보호소자에 P+ bridge를 추가하여 SCR 루프 상의 전류 이득을 감소시켜 홀딩 전압을 약 2V 가량 높인 새로운 구조를 내장하여 ESD 상황에 대해 높은 신뢰성을 가질 것으로 예상된다.

This paper presents the algorithm for envelope protection of helicopters. The algorithm consists of two feedback control loops: inner loop and outer loop. As an inner loop control, model following control is designed to meet the ADS-33 handling qualities specification by minimizing the tracking errors between the responses of the actual model and those of the command filter. In order to implement envelope protection, saturation limiter is imposed to command channels in command filter, whose limits are computed corresponding to the envelope limit. Fast model predictive control is designed as an outer loop control to deal with saturation constraints generated by the inner loop envelope protection and also imposed by outer loop envelope protection variables. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm yields good envelope protection performance.

We propose a measurement state feedback controller for a class of nonlinear systems that have uncertain nonlinearity and sensor noise. The new design method based on the matrix inequality approach solves the measurement feedback control problem of a class of nonlinear systems. As a result, the proposed methods using a matrix inequality approach has the flexibility to apply the controller. In addition, the sensor noise can be attenuated for more generalized systems containing uncertain nonlinearities.

Rows of closely adjacent buildings with similar dynamic characteristics are common building arrangements in residential areas. In this paper, we present a vibration control strategy for the seismic protection of this kind of multibuilding systems. The proposed approach uses an advanced Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) computational procedure to carry out the integrated design of distributed multiactuation schemes that combine interbuilding linking devices with interstory actuators implemented at different levels of the buildings. The controller designs are formulated as static output-feedback H-infinity control problems that include the interstory drifts, interbuilding approachings and control efforts as controlled-output variables. The advantages of the LMI computational procedure are also exploited to design a fully-decentralized velocity-feedback controller, which can define a passive control system with high-performance characteristics. The main ideas are presented by means of a system of three adjacent five-story identical buildings, and a proper set of numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the behavior of the different control configurations. The obtained results indicate that interstory-interbuilding multiactuation schemes can be used to design effective vibration control systems for adjacent buildings with similar dynamic characteristics. Specifically, this kind of control systems is able to mitigate the vibrational response of the individual buildings while maintaining reduced levels of pounding risk.

In this paper, we consider a regulation problem of nonlinear systems under two triangular conditions where there possibly exist unbounded parameters in the systems. We propose a state feedback controller with dynamic gains in order to deal with unbounded parameters based on the condition of the time-varying rate of the growing parameter. The analysis of our control scheme is carried out by Lyapunov stability method. Our control method is verified by simulation results.

We present an output feedback controller for a class of nonlinear systems with uncertain nonlinearity and sensor noise. The sensor noise has both a finite constant component and a time-varying component such that its integral function is finite. The new design and analysis method is based on the matrix inequality approach. With our proposed controller, the states and output can be ultimately bounded even though the structure of nonlinearity is more general than that in the existing results.
