This study examines a P+multi resonant-based voltage control for voltage harmonics compensation under the islanded mode of a microgrid. In islanded mode, the inverter is defined as a voltage source to supply the full local load demand without the connection to the grid. On the other hand, the output voltage waveform is distorted by the negative and zero sequence components and current harmonics due to the unbalanced and nonlinear loads. In this paper, the P+multi resonant controller is used to compensate for the voltage harmonics. The gain tuning method is assessed by the tendency analysis of the controller as the variation of gain. In addition, this study analyzes the slight voltage magnitude drop due to the practical form of the P+multi resonant and proposes a counter method to solve this problem by adding the PI-based voltage restoration method. The proposed P+multi resonant controller to compensate for the voltage harmonics is verified through the PSIM simulation and experimental results.

This paper extends a single equation, semi-analytical approach for three-span bridges to multi-span ones for the rapid and precise determination of natural frequencies and natural mode shapes of an orthotropic, multi-span plate. This method can be used to study the dynamic interaction between bridges and vehicles. It is based on the modal superposition method taking into account intermodal coupling to determine natural frequencies and mode shapes of a bridge deck. In this paper, a four- and a five-span orthotropic roadway bridge deck are compared in the first 10 modes with a finite element method analysis using ANSYS software. This simplified implementation matches numerical modeling within 2% in all cases. This paper verifies that applicability of a single formula approach as a simpler alternative to finite element modeling.

In recent studies, various types of multi mode electric variable transmissions of hybrid electric vehicles have been proposed. Multi mode electric variable transmission consists of two or more different types of planetary gear hybrid powertrain system(PGHP), which can change its power flow type by means of clutches for improving transmission efficiencies. Generally, the power flows can be classified into three different types such as input split, output split and compound split. In this study, we analyzed power transmission characteristics of the possible six input split systems, and found the suitable system for single or multi mode hybrid powertrain. The input split system used in PRIUS is identified as a best system for single mode, and moreover we identified some suitable systems for dual mode.

In seismic analysis, there are two main ways - uniform load method and dynamic analysis, dynamic analysis can be divided into response spectrum analysis and time history analysis. In case of which get the complexion of the vibration with 3-axis of coordinate direction in each mode of free vibration mode happened owing to complication of the shape, 3-dimensional dynamic analysis is recommended to perform as multi-mode spectral analysis in standard specification for highway bridge. The purpose of this study is to understand the dynamic behavior by performing multi-mode seismic analysis according to responses analysis and time history anal)'sis in using record of earthquake. In accordance with the criterion of seismic design as defined in standard specification for highway bridge by using modified records of the El Centre and Coyote Lake earthquake, response spectrum was constructed by using the tripartite logarithmic plot. The 3-span continuous space truss bridge was selected as model of numerical analysis. As the result performed time history analysis and analysis of response spectrum for the model of numerical analysis, the result of time history analysis was slightly larger than that of response spectrum analysis. This coincide with the tendency of the result came from the analysis when using a jagged response spectrum analysis, This coincide with the tendency of the result came from the analysis when using a jagged response spectrum for a single excitation. In the Process of performing these two analysis. response spectrum analysis is more effective than time history analysis in saving times in analyzing data.

The goal of energy-based seismic design is to obtain a structural design with a higher energy dissipation capacity than the energy dissipation demands incurred under earthquake motions. Accurate estimation of the story hysteretic energy demand of a multi-story structure is the key to meeting this goal. Based on the assumption of a mode-equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system, the energy equilibrium relationship of a multi-story structure under seismic action is transformed into that of a multi-mode analysis of several single degree-of-freedom systems. A simplified equation for the estimation of the story seismic hysteretic energy demand was then derived according to the story shear force and deformation of multi-story buildings, and the deformation and energy relationships between the mode-equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system and the original structure. Sites were categorized into three types based on soil hardness, namely, hard soil, intermediate hard (soft) soil, and soft soil. For each site type, a 5-story and 10-story reinforced concrete frame structure were designed and employed as calculation examples. Fifty-six earthquake acceleration records were used as horizontal excitations to validate the accuracy of the proposed method. The results verify the following. (1) The distribution of seismic hysteretic energy along the stories demonstrate a degree of regularity. (2) For the low rise buildings, use of only the first mode shape provides reasonably accurate results, whereas, for the medium or high rise buildings, several mode shapes should be included and superposed to achieve high precision. (3) The estimated hysteretic energy distribution of bottom stories tends to be underestimated, which should be modified in actual applications.

최근 들어 토목관련 천부층 조사에 다중 모드 표면파 위상 속도의 역산이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 감도 분석, 그리고 합성탄성파자료와 현장자료의 역산 결과는 이 방법이 기본 모드만을 이용하는 것에 비해 매우 효과적임을 보여주고 있다. 이중 모드 레일리 파의 위상속도들에서 층의 두께와 전단파 속도에서의 조그만 변화는 고차 모드의 감도들을 (a) 다른 주파수 대역들에 모이게 하고 (b) 심도가 깊어질수록 기본 모드보다도 더 크게 한다. 이 관찰을 통해 다중 모드 위상 속도 역산을 이용하면 기본 모드 자료들만의 역산에 비해 변수값들을 더 잘 구분해 낼 수 있고 깊은 구조, 특히 속도 역전이 일어난 구조에 대해 보다 나은 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 20 m 깊이에 저속도층이 존재하는 모델에서 이론적인 위상 속도들의 역산은 1차 모드만 첨가될 때 단지 연암층만을 영상화할 수 있다. 이 사실은 측정 가능한 가장 낮은 주파수가 단지 6 Hz 일 때 특히 중요하다. 현장시험들이 시추공과 PS 검층을 이용하여 조사된 지역들에서 행해졌다. 첫 번째 지역에서는 일본에서 심부 지질조사에 주로 이용되는 microtremor 배열 탐사가 35 m 깊이까지 토양층을 탐사하기 위해 사용되었다. 두 번째 지역에서는 12 m 깊이까지 조사하기 위해 sledgehammer 음원과 선형 다중 채널 수진기 전개를 이용하여 자료가 얻어졌다. 분산곡선 분석을 위해서 주파수-파수 파워 스펙트럼법이 사용되었고 각각의 시험에서 2차 모드의 속도까지 구해졌다. 다중 모드 역산 결과는 PS 검층기록과 잘 일치한다. 하지만 단지 기본 모드만을 이용하여 얻어진 결과는 매립지 아래의 천부 연암층까지의 깊이를 매우 작게 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 고차 모드 신호의 양호한 위성 전송에 요구되는 수신 단말기의 저잡음 증폭 주파수 변환기의 위상 잡음 특성을 해석한다. 위상 잡음은 낮은 데이터 전송뿐만 아니라 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 고차 모드 신호 전송에 심각한 영향을 미치며, 전송 링크 주파수가 증가함에 따라 위상 잡음이 증가하여 고속 데이터 전송에 요구되는 고차 모드와 높은 주파수 사용으로 인한 전송 열화 성능은 증가한다. 따라서, 높은 주파수 영역을 갖는 고차 모드 수신 단말기의 저잡음 증폭 주파수 변환기의 위상 잡음은 전송 성능에 지배적인 영향을 가지므로, 저잡음 증폭 주파수 변환기 위상 잡음에 대한 가용 전송 모드를 해석하고 가용 서비스 적용 방법을 제시한다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine multi-modal interaction effects of input-mode switching on the use of smart phones. Background: Multi-modal is considered as an efficient alternative for input and output of information in mobile environments. However, there are various limitations in current mobile UI (User Interface) system that overlooks the transition between different modes or the usability of a combination of multi modal uses. Method: A pre-survey determined five representative tasks from smart phone tasks by their functions. The first experiment involved the use of a uni-mode for five single tasks; the second experiment involved the use of a multi-mode for three dual tasks. The dependent variables were user preference and task completion time. The independent variable in the first experiment was the type of modes (i.e., Touch, Pen, or Voice) while the variable in the second experiment was the type of tasks (i.e., internet searching, subway map, memo, gallery, and application store). Results: In the first experiment, there was no difference between the uses of pen and touch devices. However, a specific mode type was preferred depending on the functional characteristics of the tasks. In the second experiment, analysis of results showed that user preference depended on the order and combination of modes. Even with the transition of modes, users preferred the use of multi-modes including voice. Conclusion: The order of combination of modes may affect the usability of multi-modes. Therefore, when designing a multi-modal system, the fact that there are frequent transitions between various mobile contents in different modes should be properly considered. Application: It may be utilized as a user-centered design guideline for mobile multi modal UI system.

Recent developments in underwater image recognition methods have received large attention by the ocean engineering researchers. In this paper, an improved bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) approach is employed to decompose the given underwater image into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and residual. We developed a joint algorithm based on BEMD and Canny operator to extract multi-pixel edge features at multiple scales in IMFs sub-images. So the multiple pixel edge extraction is an advantage of our approach; the other contribution of this method is the realization of the bi-dimensional sifting process, which is realized utilizing regional-based operators to detect local extreme points and constructing radial basis function for curve surface interpolation. The performance of the multi-pixel edge extraction algorithm for processing underwater image is demonstrated in the contrast experiment with both the proposed method and the phase congruency edge detection.
