This paper presents three PWM modulators using CMOS OTAs. They consist of a ramp integrator and current-tunable Schmitt triggers. Prototype circuits built using discrete components exhibited that their duty cycles are linearly controllable. The proposed modulators can be easily fabricated in a monolithic IC, because they have a simple structure.

This paper puts forward an advanced consideration on the design of scaled multiple-gate FET (MuGFET); the aspect ratio ($R_{h/w}$) of the fin height (h) to fin width (w) of MuGFET is considered with the aid of 3-D device simulations. Since any change in the aspect ratio must consider the trade-off between drivability and short-channel effects, it is shown that optimization of the aspect ratio is essential in designing MuGFET's. It is clearly seen that the triple-gate (TG) FET is superior to the conventional FinFET from the viewpoints of drivability and short-channel effects as was to be expected. It can be concluded that the guideline of w < L/3, where L is the channel length, is essential to suppress the short-channel effects of TG-FET.

We studied the prototypal developments of Plastic Cortex Stimulator (PCS) for stroke patients. The PC sends the stimulation parameters (amplitude, pulse width, cycle, etc.) to the transmitter ZigBee module through serial port. The receiver ZigBee module generates stimulation waveform. The generated output can be controlled by the PC program. Further study can be expanded to portable handset such as PDA using ZigBee. The wireless control of PCS with the handset can help the tele-rehabilitation.

A synchronous solid-state var compensator(SSVC) system which employs a three-phase neutral-point-darned (NPC) inverter is presented and analyzed for high voltage and high power applications. The proposed SSVC system can compensate for leading and lagging displacement factor. An optimal pulse-width-modulation (PWM) is used as a means of reducing the size of reactive components. A equivalent model is obtained using DQ-transform, and the characteristic of open-loop system are archived from DC and AC analyzes. A $\alpha$ phase-shift control is suggested using a self-controlled dc bus.

With the advent of power semiconductor switching devices, power electronics relating to high frequency electromagnetic eddy current based induction heating technology have become more suitable and acceptable. This paper presents high-frequency induction heating cooking appliance circuit based on the zero current switching-PWM single ended push-pull(ZCS-PWM SEPP) resonant inverter added AC-DC converter. This inverter uses pulse-width-modulation(PWM) control method with active auxiliary quasi-resonant lossless inductor snubbers and a switched capacitor. To improved the transient performance, the PI controller is applied for this system. For the systematic parameter optimization of the PI controller, the gradient-based optimization algorithm is applied. The performance of optimized parameters is evaluated using simulation and experimental test. These results show that the proposed systematic optimal tuning method improve the transient performances of this system.

디지털 제어기는 벡터 제어(Vector Control) 구현에 적합하기 때문에, 현재 대다수의 고성능 교류 전동기 구동 시스템에 사용되고 있다. 디지털 제어기를 사용하는 교류 전동기 구동 시스템에 대한 기존의 연구는 주로 디지털 제어기의 시지연이 제어 성능에 미치는 효과에 주목하였다. 그리고 디지털 제어기의 전류 샘플링 오차에 주목한 연구들은 주로 전력 변환기기의 전압 변조(PWM, Pulse Width Modulation)와 디지털 제어기의 샘플링 순간과의 관계에 따른 전류 샘플링 오차에 대해 연구하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 연구에서는 다루어지지 않았던 디지털 제어기의 제로-오더-홀드(Zero-Order Hold) 특성에 의해 발생하는 전류 샘플링 오차를 다룬다. 이 오차는 전동기의 전기적 회전 주파수가 디지털 제어기의 샘플링 주파수에 비해 무시할 수 없을 정도로 커지는 경우 그 영향이 두드러지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 전류 샘플링 오차를 분석하고, 이것을 보상하는 방법에 대해 서술한다.

In high speed applications, the slotless permanent magnet(PM) motors appear an attractive solution, being almost insensitive to magneto-motive force harmonics and to pulse width modulation(PWM) current ripple and exhibiting lower stator iron losses and rotor losses (significant with square wave current control). So, this paper deals with methods for design of permanent magnet synchronous motor/generator.

Purpose： To determine the motor cortex dysfunction in hemiparetic patients due to deep intracerebral hematoma, authors peformed proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) for the evaluation of biochemical changes in the cortex on affected hemisphere according to axonal injury at the level of internal capsule. Materials and methods： Ten control subjects and 14 patients with documentable hemiparesis of varying severity hemiparesis were included. All the hemiparesis was caused by deep intracerebral hematoma (putaminal and thalamic hemorrhage). In vivo 1H MRS study was performed on a 3T MRI/MRS system using STEAM sequence. As a single-voxel technique, Spectral parameters were： 20 ms TE, 2000 ms TR, 128 averages, 2500 Hz spectral width, and 2048 data points.

An micro-probe tip must be manufactured using thin film to evaluate integrity of the semiconductor with narrow distance between pads. In this study, fatigue tests were performed for BeCu thin film which is used in micro-probe tip of semiconductor test machine. The thin film was manufactured by electro plating process, and the specimens were fabricated by wire-cut electric discharge method to make hour glass type specimen of $5000{\mu}m$ width, $29200{\mu}m$ length and $30{\mu}m$ thickness. The fatigue test of load control with 10Hz frequency was performed, in ambient environment. The fatigue cycles were tension-tension with mean stress, at stress ratio, R=0.1.
