The cross-flow turbine is a key hydraulic power system that is widely due to low costs, high efficiency, and low maintenance. In particular, the cross-flow turbine considered as the most suitable turbine for low head situations as it is known to operate down to 5 m of water head. However, the conventional cross-flow turbine is unsuitable for ultra-low head situations with less than a 3 m water head. In this study, we propose an inverted-type cross-flow turbine to overcome the limitations of conventional cross-flow turbines under ultra-low head situations. First, we described the limitations of conventional turbines and suggested a new turbine for the ultra-low head circumstances. Second, we investigated the performance of the new turbine using CFD analysis. Results demonstrated the effects of the design parameters, such as number of blades and rotor diameter ratio, on the performance of the suggested turbine. As a result, we developed an inverted-type cross-flow turbine with up to 60% efficiency under low water head conditions.

금속으로 이루어진 물질의 경우에는 고유하며 명백한 공진 주파수를 가지고 있다. 이러한 성질을 이용하여, 공장에서 만들어진 제품의 품질 테스트를 실행할 수 있다. 해당 제품에 충격을 가하고 이로부터 발생되는 소리나 진동의 주파수를 고성능의 장비를 이용하여 측정하게 된다. 범용 컴퓨터나 DSP 기반의 단독 시스템들이 이를 위해서 사용되며 이러한 장비들은 들고 다니기에 크기가 너무 크고 구축비용이 많이 든다. 본 논문에서는 TI의 MSP430 계열의 MCU를 이용하여 개발된 시스템에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 초저전력의 MSP430 MCU들은 큰 용량의 배터리가 필요 없으므로 매우 작은 크기의 주파수 분석기를 제작하는 것이 가능하게 한다. 제안된 시스템은 검사원이 쉽게 장비를 가지고 다닐 수 있어야 하고 정확도를 다소 희생하더라도 작은 개발비용이 요구되는 환경에 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 제안된 시스템은 론치패드를 이용하여 개발되었으며, 인위적이거나 자연스런 소리의 주파수를 매우 높은 정확도로 판별 할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In micro-scale electromechanical systems, the power to perform accurate position sensing often greatly exceeds the power needed to generate motion. This paper explores the implications of sampling rate and amplifier noise density selection on the performance of a system identification algorithm using a capacitive sensing circuit. Specific performance objectives are to minimize or limit convergence rate and power consumption to identify the dynamics of a rotary micro-stage. A rearrangement of the conventional recursive least-squares identification algorithm is performed to make operating cost an explicit function of sensor design parameters. It is observed that there is a strong dependence of convergence rate and error on the sampling rate, while energy dependence is driven by error that may be tolerated in the final identified parameters.

In this paper, a transmitter-based multipath processing and inter-channel interference (ICI) cancellation scheme for a ultra-wideband (UWB) spatial multiplexing (SM) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is presented. It consists of taps delayed lines and zero-forcing (ZF) filters in the transmitter and correlators in the receiver. For a UWB SM MIMO system with N transmit antennas, M receive antennas, and Q resolvable multipath components, the BER performance of a linear transmit ZF scheme is analyzed in a log-normal fading channel and also compared with that of a receiver-based ICI rejection approach. It is found that when M ${\leq}$ N, the transmit ZF processing approach outperforms the ZF receiver while making the mobile units low-cost and low-power.

This paper reports the design of the ultra low power consumption microhotplates for high temperatures. The microhotplates consisting of a platinum-based heating element on AlN/poly 3C-SiC layers were designed. The microhotplate is a $600\times600{\mu}m^2$ square shaped membrane made of $1{\mu}m$ thick ploy 3C-SiC suspended by four legs. The microhotplate was compared with $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$(NON) structure microhotplate by COMSOL simulation system. Thermal uniformity, power consumption and thermal characterizations of microhotplates based on 3C-SiC thin film are better than microhotplates with NON structure.

Ultra wideband (UWB) system is one of the promising solutions for future short-range communication which has recently received a great attention by many researchers. In this paper, we proposed 128-point low power FFT structure based on the memory for UWB systems. The proposed structure can improve implementation area and power consumption efficiency as it consists of one of the butterfly PE and a little memory.

한정된 주파수 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안된 초광대역 통신 시스템은 전 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 스펙트럼이 마치 기저 대역 잡음과 유사한 형태로 존재하여 타 통신 시스템에 간섭을 주지 않고 고속의 통신이 가능하며, 반송파를 사용하지 않기 때문에 송 수신기의 소비 전력과 그 구조를 간략화 시킬 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 펄스위치 방식 (Pulse Positioning Modulation : PPM)은 주파수 스펙트럼 상에 불연속 전력 스펙트럼 성분이 존재하여 시스템의 효율을 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 불연속 전력 스펙트럼 성분이 발생하지 않고, 유클리드 거리가 최대가 될 수 있는 Antipodal 신호를 제안한다. 또한, 고주파 시뮬레이터인 Agilent사의 Advanced Design System을 사용하여 Antipodal 신호를 이용한 변 복조기를 설계하여 구현 및 적용 가능성을 보였다.

The neutral beam injection generate ultra-high temperature energy in the tokamak of nuclear fusion. The neutral beam injection make up arc power supply, filament power supply and acceleration & deceleration power supply. The arc power supply has characteristics of low voltage and high current. Arc power supply generate arc through constant output of voltage and current. So this paper proposed suitable buck converter for low voltage and high current. The proposed buck converter used parallel switch because it can be increased capacity and decrease conduction loss. When an arc generated, the neutral beam injection chamber occur high voltage. And it will break output capacitor of buck converter. Therefore the output capacitor was removed in the proposed converter. Thus the proposed converter should be designed for the characteristics of low voltage and high current. Also, the arc power supply should be guaranteed for system stability. The proposed parallel buck converter enables the system stability of the divided low output voltage and high current. The proposed converter with constant output be the most important design of the output inductor. In this paper, designed arc power supply verified operation of system and stability through simulation and prototype. After it is applied to the 288[kW] arc power supply for neutral beam injection.

Recent advancement in wireless communications and electronics has enabled the development of low power sensor network. Wireless sensor network are often used in remote monitoring control applications, health care, security and environmental monitoring. Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology consisting of small, low-power, and low-cost devices that integrate limited computation, sensing, and radio communication capabilities.
