This paper presents a fast received signal strength indicator (RSSI) circuit for wireless communication application. The proposed circuit is developed using power detectors and an analog-to-digital converter to achieve a fast settling time. The power detector is consisted of a novel logarithmic variable gain amplifier (VGA), a peak detector, and a comparator in a closed loop. The VGA achieved a wide logarithmic gain range in a closed loop form for stable operation. For the peak detector, a fast settling time and small ripple are obtained using the orthogonal characteristics of quadrature signals. In $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, the RSSI value settles down in $20{\mu}s$ with power consumption of 20 mW, and the maximum ripple of the RSSI is 30 mV. The proposed RSSI circuit is fabricated with a personal handy-phone system transceiver. The active area is $0.8{\times}0.2\;mm^2$.

미래형 이동통신 시스템에서 셀 경계와 같이 반송파댄간섭전력비 (Carrier-to-Interference Ratio; CIR)가 낮은 열악한 채널 환경에서 하향링크 실시간 트래픽의 전송 성능 개선을 위한 Beanforming 기반 MIMO-OFDMA (Multi Input Multi Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 시스템을 제안한다. 우선 기본적인 MIMO-OFDM 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 송신단 MRT (Maximum Ratio Transmission) 및 수신단 MRC (Maximum Ratio Combining) 기법의 연동을 고려하고, 이에 적합하도록 공간 자원 그룹화 기반의 CSI (Channel State Information) 계산법을 이용한 M-GTA-SBA (Modified-Grouped Transmit Antenna-Simple Bit Allocation) 기법을 고려한다 또한 Beamforming 적용으로 인한 상향링크에서의 과도한 궤환 정보량의 감소를 위해 Beam Weight 양자화 기반의 QEGT (Quantized Equal Gain Transmission) 기법을 적용하며, 다중 사용자 환경에서의 효율적인 자원 할당을 위해 P-SRA (Proposed Simple Resource Allocation) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 시스템은 상향링크의 궤환 정보량을 감안하더라도 H-ARQ IR (Hybrid-Automatic Repeat Request Incremental Redundancy)과 Pseudo-Orthogonal Space Time Block Code를 사용하는 전형적인 개방루프형 MIMO-OFDMA 시스템에 비해 낮은 CIR 영역에서 월등히 개선된 주파수 효율 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a novel design for a tubular linear brushless permanent-magnet motor. In this design, the magnets in the moving part are oriented in an NS-NS―SN-SN fashion which leads to higher magnetic force near the like-pole region. An analytical methodology to calculate the motor force and to size the actuator was developed. The linear motor is operated in conjunction with a position sensor, three power amplifiers, and a controller to form a complete solution for controlled precision actuation. Real-time digital controllers enhanced the dynamic performance of the motor, and gain scheduling reduced the effects of a nonlinear dead band. In its current state, the motor has a rise time of 30 ms, a settling time of 60 ms, and 25% overshoot to a 5-mm step command. The motor has a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s and acceleration up to 10 g. It has a 10-cm travel range and 26-N maximum pull-out force. The compact size of the motor suggests it could be used in robotic applications requiring moderate force and precision, such as robotic-gripper positioning or actuation. The moving part of the motor can extend significantly beyond its fixed support base. This reaching ability makes it useful in applications requiring a small, direct-drive actuator, which is required to extend into a spatially constrained environment.

The behavior of sand and mold at high temperatures was generally agreed to importantly affect the quality of castings made. By changing water content through 2,4,6 and 8%, and bentonite content through 5,7,9 and 11%, specimens have been made according to the respective composition. Specimens have been subjected to hot compressive strength and thermal expansion at 400, 600, 800 and $1000^{\circ}C$ respectively. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. At each temperature, thermal expansion decreased and hot compressive strength increased with the increase in water content. 2. After thermal expansion was peaked at approximately $1000^{\circ}C$ the contraction and maximum hot compressive strength appeared. 3. At each temperature, maximum hot compressive strength appeared 2%, 4,6% and 8% water content for 7%, 9% and 11% bentonite content respectively. 4. When 2% $H_2O$ was added, though bentonite content was increased, hot compressive strength did not rarely change. 5. Until the thermal expansion was completed the required time was 15-18 minutes at $400^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$, and 10-13 minutes at $800^{\circ}C$. At $1000^{\circ}C$, the required time was 7-9 minutes in order to gain the maximum expansion, after that, contraction proceeded during 3-4 minutes before expansion was completed.

Using "Yonsei$^{101}$ Analog Computer" the poisoning of the Xenon$^{135}$ in a thermal homogeneous nuclear reactor is analyzed. The simulator is constituted of high gain D.C. operational amplifiers and operational impedances. During the nuclear reactor operation, the Xenon poisoning increases against time until the equilibrium state reaches. After the reactor shut-down, it increases remarkably until the maximum value and then decreases. The simulated curves agree with theoretical values satisfactorily. The accuracy of the analog computer solution is 0.4387 per cent during the nuclear reactor operation and 6.7 per cent after the nuclear reactor shut-down respectively.pectively.

본 논문에서는 획득 확률과 확산 이득 제어가 CDMA 슬롯 ALOHA 시스템의 처리율에 미치는 영향을 연구한다. 이동 단말들은 공유 채널을 통해 패킷을 전송하고, 동일한 시간 슬롯에서 전송되는 패킷들은 동시 접속 간섭으로 작용한다. 대역확산 신호를 사용함으로써, CDMA 슬롯 ALOHA 채널은 높은 시간 해상도 특성에 의해 높은 획득 확률을 얻고, 확산 이득의 크기에 따라 사용자의 비트율이 결정된다. 동시 접속 간섭의 크기가 증가할 때, 확산 이득의 증가는 패킷 전송 성공 확률을 증가시켜 패킷 처리율을 향상시키나 패킷이 전송하는 사용자 정보 비트수가 감소되어 유효 처리율을 저하시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 덜 논문에서는 획득 확률과 동시 접속 간섭 크기가 시스템 처리율에 미치는 영향을 연구하고, 확산 이득 제어 방법에 따른 시스템 처리율 성능을 평가하였다. 시스템 상태에 따라 최적 확산 이득을 구함으로써 동시 접속 간섭 크기의 변화에 대해 통일된 방법으로 최대 유효 처리율을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, different feedback control strategies are presented for active seismic control using proportional-integral-derivative (PID) type controllers. The parameters of PID controller are found by using an numerical algorithm considering time delay, maximum allowed control force and time domain analyses of shear buildings under different earthquake excitations. The numerical algorithm scans combinations of different controller parameters such as proportional gain ($K_p$), integral time ($T_i$) and derivative time ($T_d$) in order to minimize a defined response of the structure. The controllers for displacement, velocity and acceleration feedback control strategies are tuned for structures with active control at the first story and all stories. The performance and robustness of different feedback controls on time and frequency responses of structures are evaluated. All feedback controls are generally robust for the changing properties of the structure, but acceleration feedback control is the best one for efficiency and stability of control system.

일반적으로 무선통신 시스템은 채널 상에서 발생하는 페이딩, 음영효과, 전파감쇠, 잡음 및 간섭 등에 의해 신호의 신뢰성이 크게 저하된다. 따라서 멀티미디어 데이터들을 열악한 무선통신 채널에서 안정적으로 전송하기 위해서는 보다 신뢰성 있는 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 무선통신 환경에서 보다 신뢰성 있는 정보 전송을 위해 STBC의 다이버시티 이득과 STTC의 채널 효율성, 코딩 이득 및 다이버시티 이득을 동시에 갖는 STTC 기반 STBC 시스템을 고려하고 송수신기 사이의 채널 간 상관 값을 갖는 슬로우 페이딩 채널환경에서 성능을 분석하였다.

Enhancing the performance of computing systems has been an important topic since the invention of computers. The leading-edge technologies of multicore and virtualization dramatically influence the development of current IT systems. We study performance attributes of response time (RT), throughput, efficiency, and scalability of a virtualized Web system running on a multicore server. We build virtual machines (VMs) for a Web application, and use distributed stress tests to measure RTs and throughputs under varied combinations of virtual cores (VCs) and VM instances. Their gains, efficiencies and scalabilities are also computed and compared. Our experimental and analytic results indicate: 1) A system can perform and scale much better by adopting multiple single-VC VMs than by single multiple-VC VM. 2) The system capacity gain is proportional to the number of VM instances run, but not proportional to the number of VCs allocated in a VM. 3) A system with more VMs or VCs has higher physical CPU utilization, but lower vCPU utilization. 4) The maximum throughput gain is less than VM or VC gain. 5) Per-core computing efficiency does not correlate to the quality of VCs or VMs employed. The outcomes can provide valuable guidelines for selecting instance types provided by public Cloud providers and load balancing planning for Web systems.

The authors are developing a motion of floater body type wave energy converter of the float-counterweight system. This consists of the driving pulley, wire, float and counterweight suspended from idler pulleys and rachet mechanism. Though it has succeeded in solving the major structural strength problem in which the floats would slam against adjacent structure(s) by wave load acting horizontally. In order to overcome this problem. We propose a new system in which the wire transmitting the power is wound around the pulleys and the float receiving the wave power is pulled by the wire from both its upper and lower ends to avoid the occurrence of slackening during the wave cycle. In the paper, we developed the dynamics model for the proposed system. Energy gain has been calculated for realistic wave conditions and compared with the original float-counterweight device. The important differences from the float-counterweight system are that (1) both upward and downward motions of water surface can be utilized without problem. (2) slackening of energy gain and wire tension are effectively suppressed, and (4) for the same time averaged energy gain, the maximum wire tension is fairly lowered.
