  • As a continuing effort to develop an automatic control system for small telescope, we developed the software for telescope control and CCD observations under DOS operating system. For accurate pointing of the telescope in short amount of time, we modelled the angular speed of the telescope by aquadratic function of time (constant acceleration) for the first 15 second and then linear function of time (zero acceleration) aftwewards. By changing the telescope speed from 'slew' to 'fine' before the telescope reaches the desired position, we could achieve the accuracy of a few arcsecond. The CCD control software was written for model CCD-10 of CCD Technology. This CCD can be used for guiding purposes. We also conducted the study for remote control of the telescope using telephone line. Although it cannot be used for real observations at the present form, we succeded in remotely pointing the telescope to desired direction. As faster communication technologies become widely available, simple observations can be made remotely in the near future. Finally we report some observational results made with the present control system.

  • A mathematical model of the seeker scan-loop which is composed of a spin-stabilized gyroscope and its driving signal processors is derived. The derived model has a transmission zero pair on the imaginary axis near to the required bandwidth. The LQG/LTR design methodology is evolved for the derived scan-loop model. To implement the designed LQG/LTR compensator to the actual plant, the compensator order is reduced using the internally balanced realization method. The performances of the LQG/LTR compensator are tested and compared with those of the P-control. Especially, stability-robustnessexperiments for model uncertainties represented in the form of time-delays are performed. It is demonstrated that the LQG/STR compensator is actually very robust to model uncertainties.

  • In long vertical duct, the aspect of second flame in laminar flame propagating through lycopodium-air mixtures and the behavior of dust particles in neighborhood in front of flame have been examined experimentally. In order to trace the development of second flame to its origin, the velocity and vorticity distribution of dust particles in front of flame were measured by using with the real-time PIV system. The velocity of particles was approximately zero at the central part of flame front and the ahead of the flame leading edge, but maximum near the duct wall. The flame velocity of second flame and the movement of leading flame edge depend mainly on behavior of dust particles by the flow distribution of temperature and pressure.

  • This paper proposes a new distance relaying method based on fault initiated travelling waves for transmission line protection. The characteristics of this method are ultra high speed and excellent sensitivity. Travelling wave technique which is one of the distance relaying methods uses the discrete cross correlation function for discrimination between internal and external fault is remarkably reduced in case of a close up fault and an inception angle near or equal to zero fault. To cope with this problem, a new fast algorithm which uses backward wave summation method with fixed window is presented. The proposed method has been tested by numerical simulations using the EMTP.

  • 자벽고착 개념에 기초를 둔 새로운 조화센서는 다음과 같이 설명되어진다. 2단계 열처리된 Co계 비전질 percursor은 특이한 signal을 유발시키는데 이는 자속의 단계적인 변화를 나타내는 hystresisloop에 기인한다. 자장하에서의 1단계 열처리는 M-H loop에서 일축유도 자기이방성을 발생시킨다. 2단계 무자장하의 열처리는 고착된 자벽의 stepped hystresis의 특성을 나타내는데 이로인해 유용한 marker로서의 특징을 가지게 된다. 열처리동안 비정질재료의 표면과 내부에서 상당량의 산화와 결정화 과정을 거치는 것이 관찰되었다. 이오인한 표면 자벽 고착 모델의 제안은 자벽의 고착이 비정질부분과 semi-hard Co 층간의 접합면에서 가장 효과적으로 얻어지다는 것으로써 확신되어진다. 또한 자벽 고착 자장과 결정화된 Co층의 두께간의 상당한 연관성도 관찰되었다.

  • High frequency alternating current (HFAC) has been widely used in a wide range of power distribution systems (PDS) due to its superior performance. A high frequency AC/DC converter plays the role of converting HFAC voltage to DC voltage. In this paper, a new LCL-T resonant AC/DC converter has been proposed, and an easier control method based on input voltage comparison is presented, without the complicated calculation of the zero-crossing point. Both a low distortion and near-to-unity power factor can be achieved by the proposed resonant converter and control strategy. The operational principle and steady-state analysis are given for the proposed resonant converter. A simulation model and experimental prototype are implemented with an operation frequency of 25kHz and a rated power of 20W. The simulation and experimental results verify the accuracy of the analysis and the excellent performance of the proposed topology.

  • This paper utilizes free oscillation and energy injection principles to generate and control the high frequency current in the primary track of a contactless power transfer system. Here the primary power inverter maintains natural resonance while ensuring near constant current magnitude in the primary track as required for multiple independent loads. Such energy injection controllers exhibit low switching frequency and achieve ZCS (Zero Current Switching) by detecting the high frequency current, thus the switching stress, power losses and EMI of the inverter are low. An example full bridge topology is investigated for a contactless power transfer system with multiple pickups. Theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results show that the proposed system has a fast and smooth start-up transient response. The output track current is fully controllable with a sufficiently good waveform for contactless power transfer applications.

  • Titanium nitride thin films were deposited on $SiO_2$/Si substrate by rf-reactive magnetron sputtering. The structural and electrical properties of the films were investigated with various $N_2/(Ar+N_2)$ flow ratios (nitrogen/argon flow ratio). The resistivity as well as temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of the films strongly depends on phase structure. For the films deposited at nitrogen/argon flow ratio of below 5%, the resistivity increased with increasing nitrogen/argon flow ratios. However, the resistivity of the film deposited at nitrogen/argon flow ratio of 7% decreased drastically; it is even smaller than that of metal titanium nitride. A near-zero TCR value of approximately 9 ppm/K was observed for films deposited at nitrogen/argon flow ratio of 3%.

  • Landuse maps are prepared from satellite imagery and field observations were conducted at various locations in the study area. Compared to the field data and NDVI and RVI thematic maps, NDVI is better than RVI, because it compensates for changing illumination conditions, surface slope, aspect and other factors. Clouds, water and snow have negative values for RVI and NDVI. Rock and bare soils have similar reflectance in both NIR and visible band, so RVI and NDVI are near zero. In forest areas with good vegetation cover, NDVI is high and landslide occurrence is less. But if annual and biennial vegetations are present and if cultivation practices are changed frequently, NDVI is medium and landslide occurrence is moderate. In areas where deforestation and settlement is in progress, NDVI is less and landslide occurrence is more. The NDVI FCC thematic map may be used as an important layer in GIS application for landslide studies. Analyzing other layers such as slope, rainfall, soil, geology, drainage, lineament, etc with NDVI FCC layer will give a better idea about the identity of landslide prone areas.

  • The 200 nm thick-NiCr films grew on $SiO_2$/Si substrates at various deposition temperatures by a dc magnetron co-sputtering technique were characterized for the variation of film texture. The resistivity of the films decreases with increasing deposition temperature and temperature coefficient of electrical resistance (TCR) varies from negative value to a positive one with increasing deposition temperature. The NiCr films deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ exhibit 4 ppm/K being near zero TCR, resulting in TCR suitable for $\pi$-type attenuator applications.
