This paper investigates linear soft combination schemes for cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. We propose two weight-setting strategies under different basic optimality criteria to improve the overall sensing performance in the network. The corresponding optimal weights are derived, which are determined by the noise power levels and the received primary user signal energies of multiple cooperative secondary users in the network. However, to obtain the instantaneous measurement of these noise power levels and primary user signal energies with high accuracy is extremely challenging. It can even be infeasible in practical implementations under a low signal-to-noise ratio regime. We therefore propose reference data matrices to scavenge the indispensable information of primary user signal energies and noise power levels for setting the proposed combining weights adaptively by keeping records of the most recent spectrum observations. Analyses and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed linear soft combination schemes outperform the conventional maximal ratio combination and equal gain combination schemes and yield significant performance improvements in spectrum sensing.

반감(半減)되는 특성을 가진 폴딩 스너버 망을 내포하므로 소프트하게 역 복귀 되는 새로운 형태의 의사 공진 펄스 폭 변조 컨버터를 소개한다. 이 컨버터는 이미 소개된 기존의 QRC에 단지 수동소자만으로 구성된 폴딩 스너버를 결합하여 구현시켰다. 이용된 수동소자는 단지 다이오드와 케페시터로 구성되었다. 이렇게 제안된 펄스 폭 변조 컨버터의 효율은 매우 높아 대 전류를 출력시키는 DC-DC 컨버터의 응용에 매우 적합하다.

본 논문에서는 근접 전기유도 무선통신 시스템의 표준 기술인 TransferJet 시스템의 BER(Bit Error Ratio) 성능이 분석된다. TransferJet 시스템은 타 무선통신 시스템들과 비교해서 짧은 통신 범위(즉, 무선통신환경에서 높은 보안성), 더 적은 다중경로 왜곡, 그리고 높은 전송률을 제공하는 장점이 있다. 수신신호를 복조하기 위하여 TransferJet 수신단의 역확산기와 복조기에 연판정 결합(SC: soft-decision combining) 혹은 경판정 결합(HC: hard-decision combining)이 적용될 수 있다. 확산계수가 4이상인 경우에 SC 방식은 HC에 비하여 최소 2 dB의 SNR 이득을 제공한다. 또한, 모의실험 결과로부터, 3비트 양자화는 이중-정밀 부동소수점과 거의 동일한 성능을 제공하기 때문에 TransferJet 시스템에서 SC 방식에 대한 최적 양자화 비트는 3비트로 결론지을 수 있다.

In this paper, we introduce a new soft computing technique that dwells on the ideas of combining fuzzy rules in a fuzzy system with polynomial neural networks (PNN). The PNN is a flexible neural architecture whose structure is developed through the modeling process. Unfortunately, the PNN has a fatal drawback in that it cannot be constructed for nonlinear systems with only a small amount of input variables. To overcome this limitation in the conventional PNN, we employed one of three principal soft computing components such as a fuzzy system. As such, a space of input variables is partitioned into several subspaces by the fuzzy system and these subspaces are utilized as new input variables to the PNN architecture. The proposed soft computing technique is achieved by merging the fuzzy system and the PNN into one unified framework. As a result, we can find a workable synergistic environment and the main characteristics of the two modeling techniques are harmonized. Thus, the proposed method alleviates the problems of PNN while providing superb performance. Identification results of the three-input nonlinear static function and nonlinear system with two inputs will be demonstrated to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.

본 논문에서는 연판정지향 알고리즘에 Stop-and-Go 알고리즘의 개념을 결합한 연판정지향 Stop-and-Go 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 두 알고리즘보다 더 신뢰성 있는 오차신호를 사용함으로써 향상된 등화 성능을 가진다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘이 CMA, MCMA, Stop-and-Go 알고리즘, 단순화된 연판정지향 알고리즘에 비해 잔류 심벌간 간섭과 정상상태로의 수렴 속도면에서 우수한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

In this study, a method to predict the consolidation behavior of soft clays and marine clays was developed by combining the equation of Terzaghi's 1-dimensional consolidation and CPTu dissipation. The special attention was given to the consolidation anisotropy due to the difference between 1-D consolidation and radial consolidation of CPTu dissipation. The analysis combining two equations enables direct application of CPTu results. And above all it doesn't require to sample undisturbed specimens and determine consolidation coefficient which is both costly and time consuming and often contains measuring error. It is also advantageous that CPTu test can be carried out any position and any depth. Clays typically have a greater horizontal permeability, $k_h$, than vertical permeability, $k_v$, and the coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction is generally higher than the vertical direction. Various data of horizontal and vertical consolidation coefficient ratio were collected and analyzed to develop and verify the method.

In this study, characteristics of modern fur fashion were reviewed and aesthetic characteristics shown in fur fashion were analyzed. The results of this study are as follow. Aesthetic characteristics shown in fur fashion between 1980s and 2000s are conspicuousness, sensuality, elegance, activity, humor and abnormality. Conspicuousness was displayed in oversized fur coat in vivid leopard pattern, mink coat trimmed with rich fox fur or leopard patterned fur jacket in hot pink. Sensuality was displayed in white and gray soft mink coat worn over mini dress, soft mink jacket which is short enough to expose legs or soft fox best accentuating chest and arms. Elegance was displayed in soft fox coat in silver, luxurious mink coat with slim silhouette that flows with body line or silver bolero made of mink and silk with slim silhouette. Activity was presented in mink pullover with loose silhouette or rabbit jacket that emphasized functionality by having zippers or hem made of rubber. Humor was presented in unique and humorous patterned fur jacket or exaggerated and unique form of fox bolero. Abnormality was presented in mink jacket made of combining alien material with deformed proportion and form or outer that emphasized vague form by using long and big fox fur.

Inverted V (or chevron) braced steel frames have been seen as being highly prone to soft story response once the compression brace buckles under earthquake loading. To salvage chevron braced frames. the concept of the zipper column was proposed many years ago such that the zipper column can redistribute the inelastic demand over the height of the building. However. rational design method for the zipper column has not been established yet. In this paper, a new dynamic design method for the zipper column was proposed by combining the refined physical braced model and modal pushover analysis. Inelastic dynamic analysis conducted on 6 story building model showed that the proposed method was more superior to the existing static design method and was very effective in improving seismic performance of chevron braced steel frames.

This paper introduces a novel hybrid converter combining a full-bridge soft switching converter and a full-bridge LLC converter. In this topology all the primary switches can achieve ZVS and ZCS all over the operation range. An additional switch and a diode are added in the secondary side of full-bridge converter to eliminate the circulating current and to provide a separate freewheeling path. The hybrid structure makes it possible to deliver the power to the secondary all the time of operation, thereby improving the efficiency. The proposed topology is suitable for the applications such as on-board chargers for electric vehicles and high power dc-dc converters. A 6.6-kW prototype converter was implemented and 97.5% efficiency was obtained through the experiments.
