Herein, a low-ripple coarse-fine digital low-dropout regulator (D-LDO) without ringing in the transient state is proposed. Conventional D-LDO suffers from a ringing problem when settling the output voltage at a large load transition, which increases the settling time. The proposed D-LDO removes the ringing and reduces the settling time using an auxiliary power stage which adjusts its output current to a load current in the transient state. It also achieves a low output ripple voltage using a comparator with a complete comparison signal. The proposed D-LDO was fabricated using a 65-nm CMOS process with an area of 0.0056 μ㎡. The undershoot and overshoot were 47 mV and 23 mV, respectively, when the load current was changed from 10 mA to 100 mA within an edge time of 20 ns. The settling time decreased from 2.1 ㎲ to 130 ns and the ripple voltage was 3 mV with a quiescent current of 75 ㎂.

Estimation of damping ratio for vibration signals measured on the passenger car's seat is useful for the objective evaluation of impact harshness in car. The vibration signal is a transient signal represented by many coupled modes of suspension system. Wavelet transform automatically decouples these modes in the time-frequency domain. Damping ratios for decoupled modes are obtained by logarithmic treatment for the Wavelet transformed signal. The objective evaluation using Wavelet transform has been well corresponded with subjective evaluation done by skilled engineers.

Change in lantency of otoacoustic emission(OAE) may indicate clinically and diagnostically important change in the status of the nervous system. A low signal-to-noise ratio of OAE signal makes it difficult to estimate small, transient, time-varing changes in latency. we present an adaptive algorithm that estimates small latency change value even when OAE signal amplitudes are time-varing.

A discrete time domain modeling is presented for the pulse-width modulated series resonant converter (PWM-SRC) with a discontinuous current mode. This nonlinear system is linearized about its equilibrium state to obtain a linear discrete time model for the investigation of small signal performances such as the stability and transient response. The usefulness of this small signal model is verified through the dynamic simulation.

Biological neurons generally have chaotic characteristics for permanent or transient period. The effects of chaotic response of biological neuron have not yet been verified by using analytical methods. Even though the transient chaos of neuron could be beneficial to overcoming the local minimum problem, the permanent chaotic response gives adverse effect on optimization problems in general. To solve optimization problems, which are needed in almost all neural network applications such as pattern recognition, identification or prediction, and control, the neuron should have one stable fixed point. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of the chaotic dynamic neuron and the condition that produces the chaotic response are analyzed, and the convergence conditions are presented.

In this paper, a noncoherent code tracking loop is designed for 3GPP MODEM and its performance is analyzed in terms of steady-state jitter variance and transient response characteristics. An analytical closed-form formula for steady-state jitter variance is Int derived for AWGN environments as a general function of a pulse-shaping filter, timing offset, signal-to-interference ratio, and loop bandwidth, together with the analysis on the transient response characteristic of a tracking loop. Based on the analysis, the code tracking loop with variable loop bandwidth that is efficient for full digital H/W implementation is designed and its performance is compared with that of the code tracking loop with fixed loop bandwidth, along with the verification by computer simulations.

Digital images or videos are used in modern digital devices. The resolution of HDTV in digital broadcasting system is higher than that of previous analog systems. Also, mobile phone with 3G can provide images as well as video streaming services in realtime. In these circumstances, the visual quality of images has become an important factor. We can make image clear by transient improvement process that reduces transient in edges. In this paper, we present an transient improvement algorithm. The proposed algorithm improves edges by making smooth edge to steep edge. Before performing transient improvement algorithm, edge detection algorithm should be operated. Laplacian operator is used in edge detection, and the absolute value of it is used to calculate gain value. Then, local maximum and minimum values are computed to discriminate current pixel value to raise up or pull down. Compensating value that gain value multiplies with the difference between maximum (or minimum) value and current pixel value adds (or subtracts) to current pixel value. That is, improved signal is generated by making the narrow transient of edge. The advantage of proposed algorithm is that it doesn't produce shooting problem like overshoot or undershoot.

Average number of samples to signal (ANSS) and average time to signal (ATS) are the most widely used criterion for comparing the efficiencies of the quality control charts. In this study the method of evaluating ANSS and ATS values of the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts with Markov chain approach was presented when the production process is in control state or out of control state. Through numerical results, it is found that when the number of transient state r is less than 50, the calculated ANSS and ATS values are unstable; and ATS(r) tends to be stabilized when r is greater than 100; in addition, when the properties of multivariate EWMA control chart is evaluated using Markov chain method, the number of transient state r requires bigger values when the smoothing constatnt ${\lambda}$ becomes smaller.

To investigate the safety and stability of the concrete lining, numerous studies have been conducted over the years and several methods have been developed. Most signal processing method of NDT techniques has based on the Fourier analysis. However, the application of Fourier analysis to analyze recorded signal shows results only in frequency domain, it is not enough to analyze transient waves precisely. In this study, a new NDT technique .using the wavelet theory was employed for the analysis of non-stationary wave propagation induced by mechanical impact in the concrete lining. The wavelet transform of transient signals provides a method for mapping the frequency spectrum as a function of time. To verify the availability of wavelet transform as a time- frequency analysis tool, model experiments have been conducted on the concrete lining model. From this study, it was found that the contour map by Wavelet transform provides more distinct results than the power spectrum by Fourier transform and it was concluded that Wavelet transform was an effective tool for the experimental analysis of dispersive waves in concrete structures.

In this paper, we present a new method for estimating the parameters of transient-type signal in additive white Gaussian noise. This method makes use of the truncated singular value decomposition of an extended-order auto-correlation-like matrix based on the linear-prediction model. The method is tested on data consisting of two exponentially dampled sinusoidal signals with the same damping factor and different damping factor. Simulation results are illustrated to demonstrate the better performance of the method applied to the auto-correlation-like matrix than that applied to the data matrix.
