In this paper, a tunable integrated transmitter leakage canceller based on an autotransformer for ultra-high-frequency (UHF) RFID readers is presented. The proposed TX leakage canceller consists of an autotransformer, a digital tuning capacitor, a voltage controlled tuning resistor, and a compensating amplifier, and it is designed using 0.13 ${\mu}m$ 1-poly 6-metal RF CMOS process. The simulation results show that the proposed structure has over 55 dB rejection characteristic between a transmitter and a receiver and a 2.5 dB of the RX insertion loss. The TX leakage canceller can be digitally tuned from 825 MHz to 985 MHz with the tuning capacitor and it can be fully integrated.

Recently, a semi-active shock absorber has been taking interest because of its low cost and simple structure than the active one. CFD analysis has been conducted to investigate the continuous and variable damping characteristics of the semi-active shock absorber. Also, the flow resistance characteristics of a spool valve has been examined to identify individual parameters(namely, exponent and discharge coefficient) of pressure-flow rate relation needed for the accurate valve modeling. The flow field in the damping valve was simulated using the commercial code, CFX-5.3. The numerical results showed reasonable agreement with the experimental outputs. The pressure distribution with the variation of spool opening length and volume flow rate were discussed in detail. And the continuous and variable damping performance was found clearly. The individual parameters of spool valve were obtained as a function of orifice area. The exponent and discharge coefficient were fitted in with the first and the third polynomial respectively.

A VCHP was fabricated and tested for its thermal performance. The container was made of copper, and the working fluid was water. STS-316 screen of mesh number 100 was inserted as a capillary structure. As a baseline performance, a normal heat pipe of the same dimensions was tested in advance to compare with VCHP, where an inert gas container was attached. The outer diameter of the heat pipe was 12.8 mm and the total length was 600 mm. The evaporator and the condenser lengths were both 200 mm. The thermal load ranged from 20 to 300W. Typical result revealed that the operating temperature of the VCHP stayed almost constant, while that of the normal heat pipe varied as much as 40$^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the VCHP is very effective for temperature control of heat-dissipating devices.

In this paper, through a digital potentiometer and exponentially weighted moving average filter, pulse and PPG waveform measurable device was fabricated in radial artery. If this device is not proper about signal size in analog part, MCU can judge easily by adjusted amplification through digital potentiometer, using exponentially weighted moving average filter is able to filter out more clear value of ADC. I presumed pulse rate as value of measuring time between point of maximum contraction from sensing signal in radial artery of wrist. Therefore, this means can measure stable pulse rate and PPG waveform, finger as well as radial artery, whether signal size of each person is different finger as well as radial artery.

본 연구에서는 맥박 측정에서 생기는 잡음들 중 많은 오류를 생기게 하는 동잡음 개선을 위하여 회로를 제안하고 설계하였다. 기존의 맥박추정 장비에서 가변저항, 광원 스위칭, 디지털 필터를 사용함으로써 정확도 향상을 위한 연구를 하였다. 손가락에서 광전용적맥파를 측정시 측정부의 광원을 2개를 사용하고, 이를 스위칭을 통해 파형을 측정을 하였다. 실험에서 PPG의 측정은 반사형 방식을 사용하고 이를 광원스위칭을 통해 신호를 받아들였다. 이를 저주파통과필터와 고주파통과필터를 사용하여 0.5~5Hz대역을 필터링 함으로써 PPG이외의 잡음을 제거하고 신호를 검출하였다. 검출된 파형을 지수가중이중필터로 필터링을 함으로써 정확성을 높였다. 이를 통하여 광원스위칭을 통한 PPG의 출력과 발광다이오드 한 개를 사용한 출력을 비교 분석을 보여줄 것이다.

In this paper, a novel Programmable Signal Conditioner(PSC) for Thermo Couple(T/C) without variable-resistance is proposed. It is fabricated by using a fully digitalized error-correction and calibration algorithm. In signal processing of T/C, since the output voltage of T/C is nonlinear and its level is very low, the circuitry become very complicated to reduce the converting error and identify the true thermal voltage signal. The newly proposed PSC has compensation and calibration algorithm not using variable resistor. Moreover structure can be very simple and it has highly precise output characteristics.

납축전지는 충전특성 곡선에 따라 정전류 충전 구간과 정전압 충전 구간으로 나누어 충전 동작을 수행하는 것이 바람직하다. 그러나 플라이백 컨버터를 사용한 저가형 배터리 충전기에서는 컨버터 회로의 1차측과 2차측의 절연을 유지하면서 이러한 2가지의 제어를 수행하는 것이 기술적으로 어려울 뿐만 아니라 회로가 복잡해지므로 현실적으로는 간편하게 정전압 충전만을 사용하는 경우가 대부분이다. 이처럼 정전압 충전만을 사용하게 되면 납축전지에 큰 충전 전류가 흐를 수 있으므로 축전지의 발열이나 수명 단축 등의 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로컨트롤러에 의해 제어되는 디지털 가변저항을 사용하여 실시간으로 전압 피드백을 조절하는 방법으로 정전류 제어가 가능한 새로운 정전류 및 정전압 충전 방식을 제안하였으며, 직접 실험을 통하여 유효성을 확인하였다.

This study is about the development of remote controlled bollard using the BLDC motor and ball screw with mechatronics theory. A bollard is composed of the sensor part and the control part. The sensor part is consisted of sensors that detect the locations of a bollard. The role of the control part is adjusting motor speed and power through variable resistance. In order to confirm required performance, the speed of decent and ascent of the bollard, the time and the RPM of BLDC motor were tested according to the variable resistance and the applied load with 10 to $72kg_f$.
