In this study, to improve an existing ground-wave based time broadcasting system, a study that predicts the field distribution and field strength of the transmitted signal of a new ground-wave based time broadcasting system was performed. The prediction area was assumed to be the Korean peninsula; and to reflect the mountainous terrain of the Korean peninsula in the prediction of the variations of field distribution and field strength, a new prediction method based on the Monteath model was proposed and utilized. As field distribution changes depending on the position of a transmitter station, potential sites for the transmitter station were selected considering the geographical characteristics. In this regard, the ground conductivity information of North Korea cannot be obtained, and thus, the ground conductivity of the North Korean region was reflected considering the geological characteristics of South Korea and North Korea. Based on this, the variations of field distribution and field strength were predicted by setting the Korean peninsula as the prediction area, and the prediction results depending on the position of the transmitter station were discussed.

Propagating speeds of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have been calculated by several geometrical models based on multi-view observations (STEREO/SECCHI and SOHO/LASCO). But in 2015, we were unable to obtain radial velocity of a CME because the STEREO satellites were located near the backside of the sun. As an alternative to resolve this problem, we propose a method to combine a coronal shock front, which appears on the outermost of the CME, and an EUV-wave that occurs on the solar disk. According to recent studies, EUV-wave occurs as a footprint of the coronal shockwave on the lower solar atmosphere. In this study, the shock, observed as a bubble shape, is assumed as a perfect sphere. This assumption makes it possible to determine the height of a coronal shock, by matching the position of an EUV-wave on the solar disk and a coronal shock front in coronagraph. The radial velocity of Halo-CME is calculated from the rate of coronal shock position shift. For an event happened on 2011 February 15, the calculated speed in this method is a little slower than the real velocity but faster than the apparent one. And these results and the efficiency of this approach are discussed.

본 논문은 HD 해상도의 고화질 방송카메라(회전과 줌이 가능한)와 '키넥트' 같은 범용 모션인식 카메라를 연동하여 방송용 모션기반 증강현실 어플리케이션을 구현하기 위해서, 연기자의 위치를 가상 월드 좌표로 자동 변환시키는 방법을 제안한다. 방송환경에서 키넥트와 같은 모션인식카메라(RGB-D 카메라)를 사용하기 위해서는 거리와 조명의 영향을 많이 받아 연기자와 가까운 천장이나 카메라 밑처럼 그 설치 위치가 제약되곤 한다. 이때, 연기자와 그래픽의 정확한 합성을 위해, 모션인식 카메라로부터의 연기자 추적 정보를 월드 좌표계로 변환해야 하며, 이것을 수작업으로 하기에는 변환의 정확도가 많이 떨어지고 시간도 많이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 체크박스 패턴 기반의 스테레오 카메라보정 알고리즘을 사용하여 모션인식카메라와 방송용 카메라간의 상관관계(이동, 회전)를 찾고, 이 값과 월드 좌표계 상의 방송 카메라(하드웨어 센서에 의해서 추적됨)정보(이동, 회전)를 이용하여 임의 위치에 설치한 모션인식 카메라로부터 추적된 연기자 위치정보를 월드 좌표계 상의 위치 값으로 자동 변환시키는 방법을 제안한다.

RFID printing technology has emerged recently as an important tool for leading future IT. Therefore, many manufacturers concerning on low cost and mass production of the related products pay close attention to the printing technology. In order to realize printed electronics, the technologies for fine line-width/gap printing and registration are essential work. This study proposes a precise Roll to Roll control system that is capable of tilting two posts. Two controllable tilting posts can adjust film position at traverse direction for the precision registration. A mathematical model for representing the geometric features of each posts in Roll to Roll printing system is established first. Then an operating program is built to implement the system and to control film movement. For experimental test, a hard ware system is fabricated which is consisted of two AC servo motors, two posts tilting mechanisms, several guide rolls, and so on. The test results show the proposed system can control the film position precisely at transverse direction.

In the vector control methods of induction motor, the stator current is divided into the flux and torque component current. By controlling these components respectively, the methods control independently flux and torque as in the DC motor and improve the control effects. To apply the vector control methods, the position of the rotor current is identified. The indirect vector control use the parameters of the machine to identify the position of rotor flux. But due to the temperature rise during machine operation, the variation of rotor resistance degrades the vector control. To solve the problem, the q-axis is aligned to reference frame without phase difference by comparing the real flux component with the reference flux component. Then to compensate the slip, PI controller is used. The proposed method keeps a constant slip by compensating the gain of direct slip frequency when the rotor resistance of induction motor varies. To prove the validations of the proposed algorithm in the paper, computer simulations is executed.

This paper presents neural load torque compensation method which is composed of a deadbeat load torque observer and gains compensation by a parameter estimator. As a result, the response of the PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor) obtains better precision position control. To reduce the noise effect, the post-filter is implemented by a MA (moving average) process. The parameter compensator with an RLSM (recursive least square method) parameter estimator is adopted to increase the performance of the load torque observer and main controller. The parameter estimator is combined with a high performance neural load torque observer to resolve problems. The neural network is trained in online phases and it is composed by a feed forward recall and error back-propagation training. During normal operation, the input-output response is sampled and the weighting value is trained multi-times by the error back-propagation method at each sample period to accommodate the possible variations in the parameters or load torque. As a result, the proposed control system has a robust and precise system against load torque and parameter variation. Stability and usefulness are verified by computer simulation and experiment.

Background: Advantages of paramedian approach over midline approach include less tissue trauma and less dependence on patient's ability to assume a fetal position. When midline approach fails in patients who are difficult to take a position with lumbar spine flexed, paramedian approach to interlaminar space may succeed. Methods: Success rates of spinal anesthesia were measured for 47 flexed patients by midline approach, 48 flexed patients by paramedian approach, 23 straightened patients receiving spinal anesthesia by midline approach, and 23 straightened patients by paramedian approach. Results: Success rates in flexed patients were 100% by midline approach and 100% by paramedian approach. Success rates for straightened patients were 13.0% by midline approach and 78.3% by paramedian approach. For straightened patients there were no correlations between success fate and age, weight, Ponderal Index but there were correlations between height and midline approach of spinal anesthesia. Conclusion: Pertaining to adult Koreans, success rates of spinal anesthesia for strainghtened patients were less than those for flexed patients. Success rate of paramedian approach of spinal anesthesia among strainghtened patients were better than those of midline approach.
