This paper presents a multiple gain controlled digital phase and frequency detector with a fast lock-time. Lock-time of the digital PLL can be significantly reduced by applying proposed adaptive gain control technique. A loop gain of the proposed digital PLL is controlled by three conditions that are very large phase difference between reference and feedback signal, small phase difference and before lock-state, and after lock-state. The simulation result shows that lock-time of the proposed multiple gain controlled digital PLL is 100 times faster than that of the conventional structure with unit gain mode.

This paper considers the concept of analog computing based on a cellular neural network (CNN) paradigm to simulate nuclear reactor dynamics using a time-dependent second order form of the neutron transport equation. Instead of solving nuclear reactor dynamic equations numerically, which is time-consuming and suffers from such weaknesses as vulnerability to transient phenomena, accumulation of round-off errors and floating-point overflows, use is made of a new method based on a cellular neural network. The state-of-the-art shows the CNN as being an alternative solution to the conventional numerical computation method. Indeed CNN is an analog computing paradigm that performs ultra-fast calculations and provides accurate results. In this study use is made of the CNN model to simulate the space-time response of scalar flux distribution in steady state and transient conditions. The CNN model also is used to simulate step perturbation in the core. The accuracy and capability of the CNN model are examined in 2D Cartesian geometry for two fixed source problems, a mini-BWR assembly, and a TWIGL Seed/Blanket problem. We also use the CNN model concurrently for a typical small PWR assembly to simulate the effect of temperature feedback, poisons, and control rods on the scalar flux distribution.

A synchronous motor(SM) with q-axis special field winding of which the q-axis field-current compensates and cancels armature reaction can be driven at unity power factor under the conditions of transient state as well as steady state. The motor operates in high efficiency in all conditions. However, in order to obtain maximum performance of the motor, it is required that the time constant of armature circuit corresponds to that of q-axis field circuit. Inverse LQ(ILQ) design method on a basis of the pole assignment is suitable for this problem:(1) The time constants of the output responses can be designed for desired specifications, (2) Relations between feedback gains and response of closed loop system are very clear and (3) Optimal solutions can be given by simple procedure of ILQ method without solving the Ricaati's equation, compared to the usual LQ design method. Accordingly, the ILQ method can make the responses of armature current and q-axis field-current correspond. In this paper, it is proved by numerical simulations and experiments that the ILQ method is very effective for optimal regulator design of this plant and realizes a high-performance motor with unity power factor and high efficiency.

In this paper, we discuss H$_{\infty}$ robust performance problem for uncertain system described in a descriptor form. We show that the method based on Riccati equation can be extended to solve this problem. First, such a sufficient condition is given that the system described in a descriptor form is quadratic stable and H$_{\infty}$ norm of a specified transfer function is less than a given level. Using this result, a state feedback law which ensures H$_{\infty}$ robust performance of closed loop system is derived based on a positive definite solution of a Riccati equation. This result shows that a solution of the problem can be also obtained by solving H$_{\infty}$ standard problem for an extended plant. Finally, a design example and simulation results will be given.ven.

The traditional robot manipulators are actuated by continuous range of motion actuators such as motors or hydraulic cylinders. However, there are many applications of mechanisms and robotic manipulators where only a finite number of locations need to be reached, and the robot's trajectory is not important as long as it is bounded. Binary manipulator uses actuators which have only two stable states. As a result, binary manipulators have a finite number of states. The number of states of a binary manipulator grows exponentially with the number of actuators. This kind of robot manipulator has some advantage compared to a traditional one. Feedback control is not required, task repeatability can be very high, and finite state actuators are generally inexpensive. And this kind of robot manipulator has a fault tolerant mechanism because of kinematic redundancy. This paper develops algorithms for kinematics and workspace analysis of a binary manipulator.

The stability and theoretical performance limits of the feedback controlled force reflecting haptic manipulator have been discussed. All the virtual environment which interact physically with the haptic system have its own stable performance limit. Three different realization of the interfaces have been compared using the driving point admittance. The haptic system which is separated from the human hand or finger is superior to its stable interaction provided that there is a means to apply a direct damping between the haptic manipulator and the human finger Electro-magnetic force is used for its digital implementation of the simple separated type haptic device. The stable limits of a virtual wall is calculated and experimental results show that there is performance limits in this implementation.

The objective of levitation control design is to stabilize a levitation system, or obtain certain transient response, bandwidth, and steady state error. An air gap signal from the each corner is important parameter to design levitation controller. A levitation controller using gap signals with measurement delay time can not make a expected performance. In this paper, a new air gap estimator to improve the performance of levitation controller is proposed. The estimated gap signal which has little measurement delay time is used as a feedback value in the levitation controller.

In this paper, we deal with the problem of delay-dependent robust and non-fragile stabilization for descriptor systems with parameter uncertainties and time-varying delays on the basis of strict LMI(linear matrix inequality) technique. Also, the considering controller is composed of multiplicative uncertainty. The delay-dependent robust and non-fragile stability criterion without semi-definite condition and decomposition of system matrices is obtained. Based on the criterion, the problem is solved via state feedback controller, which guarantees that the resultant closed-loop system is regular, impulse free and stable in spite of all admissible parameter uncertainties, time-varying delays, and controller fragility. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Recent trend changes a criterion for evaluation of burner that environmental problem is raised as global issue. For efficient driving problem, the higher thermal efficiency and the lower oxygen in exhaust gas, burner is evaluated the better. For environmental problem, burner must satisfy $NO_{X}$ limit and CO limit. Consequently, 'good burner' means on whose thermal efficiency is high under the constraint of $NO_{X}$ and CO consistency. To make existing burner satisfy recent criterion, it is highly recommended to develop feedback control scheme whose output is the consistency of $NO_{X}$ and CO. This paper describes development of real time flame diagnosis technique that evaluate and diagnose combustion state such as consistency of components in exhaust gas, stability of flame in quantitative sense. This study focuses on wave length of luminescence from chemical reaction measurement of the luminescence via optical measuring apparatus and derive correlation with consistency of components in exhaust gas by image processing technique.

전원 측 전압강하/상승 (Voltage sag/swell)을 보상하기 위한 동적전압보상기(Dynamic Voltage Restorer)등의 직렬 보상기에서 스위칭으로 인한 인버터 출력전압의 맥동(ripple)을 제거하기 위해 LC 필터가 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 LC 필터에서 커패시터의 전압을 상태 궤환을 이용하여 제어하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. LC 필터의 이산시간 상태 방정식을 구한 후, 궤환 이득값을 구하는 과정이 z-평면에서 이루어진다. 그리고, 제어기의 계산지연을 고려하여, 상태 관측기를 설계한다. 제안된 제어기는 기존 직렬보상기와 달리 전류 센서를 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 경제적인 이점을 가지게 된다.
