그리드 연계 인버터의 주파수 위상 동기를 위해 사용하는 SRF PLL의 입력함수를 Vq및 Vd 전압을 복합적으로 사용하여 응답특성을 개선시켰다. 기존의 SRF PLL에서 Vq만을 이용한 구조는 위상범위 [$-{\pi}/2$, ${\pi}/2$]에서만 선형 동작이 가능하지만, 제안된 구조는 $2{\pi}$ 영역 모두에서 선형 동작이 가능토록 하였다. 시뮬레이션으로 위상차 ${\pi}$에서 기존 SRF PLL의 부동작을 확인하고 제안된 방법의 속응성을 보였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different arthroplasty designs on knee kinematic and lower limb muscular activation for up-stair and down-stair movement. 3-D video analysis of whole body and joint kinematics and EMG analysis of quadriceps and hamstrings were conducted. One-way ANOVAs were used for statistical analyses (p=0.05). The single-radius group exhibited more arthroplasty limb quadriceps EMG and hamstring coactivation EMG than the multi-radius group. Single-radius demonstrated more abduction angular displacement and reached peak abduction earlier than the multi-radius arthroplasty limb. The single- radius the percent body fat showed similar values in the Elderly, Single and Multi-radius group among the periods, however Control group was Lowered among the periods. Single-radius group limb also increased the quadriceps muscle activation level to produce more knee extension moment to compensate for the short quadriceps moment arm. Resting metabolic rate was significantly increased in control group in the period of LI. Energy expenditure was extremely increased in all groups except control group among the periods. We can say this is the exercise effects.

전기자동차용 급속 충전기에서 전력변환 효율은 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터에 의해 좌우된다. 이때 DC-DC 컨버터의 출력전압 범위가 넓기 때문에 기존의 LLC 공진 컨버터를 Region2에서 설계하는 경우 스위칭 주파수 범위가 매우 넓어지는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기자동차용 급속충전기를 위한 넓은 충전전압 범위를 갖는 공진 컨버터 비교 및 최적 설계기법을 제안한다. 제안한 SRC below영역 설계는 모든 스위치와 다이오드의 ZCS 턴오프를 성취하므로 IGBT 사용 시 유리하다. 또한, 주파수 변동범위가 작으므로 주로 낮은 배터리 전압에서 동작하는 CC충전 모드 시 스위칭 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 설계 영역에 따른 LLC, SRC를 비교하여 손실을 분석하고 제안한 설계기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

A new readout circuit involving a pixel-level reset control was studied for 2-D long wavelength infrared focal plane arrays. The integration time of each pixel can be optimized individually and automatically. Hence, the readout circuit has a wide dynamic range and good signal-to-noise ratio characteristics. The readout circuit was fabricated with a $0.35{\mu}m$ 2-poly 4-metal CMOS process for a $128{\times}128$ long wavelength infrared HgCdTe array with a pixel size of $50{\mu}m{\times}50{\mu}m$. The smart reset control with two-step background suppression improves the signal-to-noise ratio to 87dB and the dynamic range to 95.8dB.

A VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) and a divide-by-4 high speed frequency divider are implemented using 65nm CMOS technology for 60GHz wireless communication system. The mm-wave VCO was designed by NMOS cross-coupled LC type using current source. The architecture of the divide-by-4 high speed frequency divider is differential ILFD (Injection Locking Frequency Divider) with varactor to control frequency range. The frequency divider also uses current sources to get good phase noise characteristics. The measured results show that the VCO has 64.36~67.68GHz tuning range and the frequency divider divides the VCO output by 4 exactly. The high output power of 5.47~5.97dBm from the frequency divider is measured. The phase noise of the VCO including the frequency divider are -77.17dBc/Hz at 1MHz and -110.83dBc/Hz at 10MHz offset frequency. The power consumption including VCO is 38.4mW with 1.2V supply voltage.

A low power 6-bit flash ADC that uses an input voltage range detection algorithm is described. An input voltage level detector circuit has been designed to overcome the disadvantages of the flash ADC which consume most of the dynamic power dissipation due to comparators array. In this work, four digital input voltage range detectors are employed and each input voltage range detector generates the specific clock signal only if the input voltage falls between two adjacent reference voltages applied to the detector. The specific clock signal generated by the detector is applied to turn the corresponding latched comparators on and the rest of the comparators off. This ADC consumes 68.82mW with a single power supply of 1.2V and achieves 4.9 effective number of bits for input frequency up to 1MHz at 500 MS/s. Therefore it results in 4.75pJ/step of Figure of Merit (FoM). The chip is fabricated in 0.13-um CMOS process.

In this paper a gesture recognition system using 3D feature data is described. The system relies on a novel 3D sensor that generates a dense range mage of the scene. The main novelty of the proposed system, with respect to other 3D gesture recognition techniques, is the capability for robust recognition of complex hand postures such as those encountered in sign language alphabets. This is achieved by explicitly employing 3D hand features. Moreover, the proposed approach does not rely on colour information, and guarantees robust segmentation of the hand under various illumination conditions, and content of the scene. Several novel 3D image analysis algorithms are presented covering the complete processing chain: 3D image acquisition, arm segmentation, hand -forearm segmentation, hand pose estimation, 3D feature extraction, and gesture classification. The proposed system is tested in an application scenario involving the recognition of sign-language postures.

We have analyzed low current operation characteristics of a VCSEL transmitter operating at fixed Current over wide temperature range. Used 850 nm oxide VCSEL has low temperature dependence of the threshold current and $d^2I_{th}/dT^2$ is approximately $1.346\times10^{-4}mA/^{\circ}C^2$. We fixed on-current so that output power from the chip is 1 mW at $20^{\circ}C$ and investigated the turn-on, turn-off characteristics and eye-diagram of the 850 nm oxide VCSEL transmitter with varying ambient temperature and off-current. We measured rise time, fall time, extinction ratio and timing jitter by changing tile ambient temperature and off-current. With the fixed off-current of around $0.1\sim0.2mA$ lower than the lowest threshold current the transmitter successfully operated at 1.25 Gbps over a wide temperature range from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we categorize existing human gesture recognition technologies to camera-based, additional hardware-based and frequency-based technologies. Then we describe several representative techniques for each of them, emphasizing their strengths and weaknesses. We define important performance issues for human gesture recognition technologies and analyze recent technologies according to the performance issues. Our analyses show that camera-based technologies are easy to use and have high accuracy, but they have limitations on recognition ranges and need additional costs for their devices. Additional hardware-based technologies are not limited by recognition ranges and not affected by light or noise, but they have the disadvantage that human must wear or carry additional devices and need additional costs for their devices. Finally, frequency-based technologies are not limited by recognition ranges, and they do not need additional devices. However, they have not commercialized yet, and their accuracies can be deteriorated by other frequencies and signals.
