In order to apply a piezoelectric energy harvester to a smart sensor system, an energy harvest interface circuit including an AC-DC rectifier is required. In this paper, we compared the performance of full bridge rectifier, which is a typical energy harvester interface circuit, and synchronous piezoelectric energy harvest interface circuit by using board-level simulation. As a result, the output power of a synchronous electric charge extraction(: SECE) circuit is about four times larger than that of the full bridge rectifier, and there is little load variation. And a high voltage comparator, which is essential for the SECE circuit for the piezoelectric energy harvester with an output voltage of 40V or more, was designed using 0.35 um BCD process. The SECE circuit using the designed high-voltage comparator proved that the output power is 427 % higher than the FBR circuit.

세계 대형선박의 저속엔진(주엔진) 제어시스템이 유류비 절감과 성능 향상을 위하여 기존의 수동엔진을 대신하여 전자엔진으로 대체됨으로 따라 효율적인 엔진제어를 위하여 다양한 센서기술이 발전하고 있다, 그중에서도 선박엔진에 있어서 효율을 떨어지게 하는 것은 크랭크샤프트 디플렉션(deflection)에 의해 효율이 떨어지게 되는 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 디플렉션 현상에 의하여 선박엔진에 진동이 발생하거나 선박엔진의 비동기적 운동에 의하여 선박엔진 내부의 캠(CAM) 운동의 불안정하게 되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 크랭크샤프트의 상태와 움직임을 계측할 수 있는 정밀한 선박엔진용 크랭크샤프트 각도 측정 용 정밀 엔코더(Encoder)를 제시하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a MAC protocol for sensor networks such as disaster detection system which generate the non-periodic packet. B-MAC has been used to solve delay problem for sensor networks, however, the power loss occurs due to excessive preamble and over-hearing. In contrast, S-MAC has a number of drawbacks in power consumption due to synchronization. In this paper, we propose H-MAC and analyze its performance which has improved power consumption compared to S-MAC and overhead and over-hearing compared to B-MAC.

This paper presents an implementation of high-dynamic performance of position sensorless motion control system of Reluctance Synchronous Motor(RSM) drives for an industrial servo system with direct torque control(DTC). The problems of high-dynamic performance and maximum efficiency RSM drives controlled by DTC are saturation of stator linkage flux and nonlinear inductance characteristics with various load currents. The accurate estimation of the stator flux and torque are obtained using stator flux observer of which a saturated inductance $L_d$ and $L_q$ can be compensated by adapting from measurable the modulus of the stator current and rotor position. To obtain fast torque response and maximum torque/current with varying load current, the reference command flux is ensured by imposing $I_{ds} = I_{qs}$. This control strategy is proposed to achieve fast response and optimal efficiency for RSM drive. In order to prove rightness of the suggested control algorithm, the actual experiment carried out at $\pm$20 and $\pm$1500 rpm. The developed digitally high-performance motion control system shown good response characteristic of control results and high performance features using 1.0kW RSM which has 2.57 Ld/Lq salient ratio.

LMS (least mean square) algorithm widely used in the AVCS (active vibration control system) of helicopters calculates control input using the forward path transfer function and error signal. If the error signal is sinusoidal, it can be represented as the combination of cosine and sine functions with frequency and phase synchronized with the reference signal. The control input also has the same frequency, therefore control algorithm can be simply implemented if the cosine and the sine amplitudes of the control input are calculated and the frequency and phase of the reference signal are used. Calculation of the control input is implemented as simple matrix operation and the change of the control command is slower than the frequency of the error signal, consequently control algorithm can be operated at lower frequency. The signal processing algorithm extracting cosine and sine components of the error signals are modeled using Simulink and PIL (processor-in-the-loop) mode simulation was executed for real-time performance evaluation.

In this paper, we present a low-complexity non-coherent demodulation algorithm and hardware architecture for LR-WPAN systems which can support the variable data rate for various applications. The need for LR-WPAN systems that can support the variable data rate is increasing due to the emergence of various sensor applications. Since the existing symbol based double correlation (SBDC) algorithm requires the increase of complexity to support the variable data rate, we propose the sample based double correlation (SPDC) algorithm which can be implemented without the increase of complexity. The proposed non-coherent demodulator was designed by verilog HDL and implemented with FPGA prototype board.

Purpose : 3D conformal radiotherapy, the optimum dose delivered to the tumor and provided the risk of normal tissue unless marginal miss, was restricted by organ motion. For tumors in the thorax and abdomen, the planning target volume (PTV) is decided including the margin for movement of tumor volumes during treatment due to patients breathing. We designed the respiratory gating radiotherapy device (RGRD) for using during CT simulation, dose planning and beam delivery at identical breathing period conditions. Using RGRD, reducing the treatment margin for organ (thorax or abdomen) motion due to breathing and improve dose distribution for 3D conformal radiotherapy. Materials and Methods : The internal organ motion data for lung cancer patients were obtained by examining the diaphragm in the supine position to find the position dependency. We made a respiratory gating radiotherapy device (RGRD) that is composed of a strip band, drug sensor, micro switch, and a connected on-off switch in a LINAC control box. During same breathing period by RGRD, spiral CT scan, virtual simulation, and 3D dose planing for lung cancer patients were peformed, without an extended PTV margin for free breathing, and then the dose was delivered at the same positions. We calculated effective volumes and normal tissue complication probabilities (NTCP) using dose volume histograms for normal lung, and analyzed changes in doses associated with selected NTCP levels and tumor control probabilities (TCP) at these new dose levels. The effects of 3D conformal radiotherapy by RGRD were evaluated with DVH (Dose Volume Histogram), TCP, NTCP and dose statistics. Results : The average movement of a diaphragm was 1.5 cm in the supine position when patients breathed freely. Depending on the location of the tumor, the magnitude of the PTV margin needs to be extended from 1 cm to 3 cm, which can greatly increase normal tissue irradiation, and hence, results in increase of the normal tissue complications probabiliy. Simple and precise RGRD is very easy to setup on patients and is sensitive to length variation (+2 mm), it also delivers on-off information to patients and the LINAC machine. We evaluated the treatment plans of patients who had received conformal partial organ lung irradiation for the treatment of thorax malignancies. Using RGRD, the PTV margin by free breathing can be reduced about 2 cm for moving organs by breathing. TCP values are almost the same values $(4\~5\%\;increased)$ for lung cancer regardless of increasing the PTV margin to 2.0 cm but NTCP values are rapidly increased $(50\~70\%\;increased)$ for upon extending PTV margins by 2.0 cm. Conclusion : Internal organ motion due to breathing can be reduced effectively using our simple RGRD. This method can be used in clinical treatments to reduce organ motion induced margin, thereby reducing normal tissue irradiation. Using treatment planning software, the dose to normal tissues was analyzed by comparing dose statistics with and without RGRD. Potential benefits of radiotherapy derived from reduction or elimination of planning target volume (PTV) margins associated with patient breathing through the evaluation of the lung cancer patients treated with 3D conformal radiotherapy.
