In recent year, along with the rapid development of LED technology, many applications using LEDs with Visible Light Communication(VLC) have been researched. Since it is easy to provide LOS communication environment along with cheap deployment cost, the indoor positioning system based on VLC has been actively studied. In this paper, we propose an accurate indoor positioning algorithm using a stereo image sensor and white-light LEDs with the visible light communication. Indoor white-light LEDs are located at the ceiling of a room and broadcast their position information by VLC technology. Mobile receiver with stereo image sensor receives LED position information by VLC and estimates its position and angle information. Simulation results are given to show the efficiency of proposed indoor positioning algorithm.

Recently, the increasing interest in drones has resulted in development of new related technologies. Attention has been focused toward research on swarm flight which controls drones simultaneously without collision. Thus, complicated missions can be completed rapidly through collaboration between drones. Due to low position accuracy, GPS is not appropriate for the outdoor mission involving accurate flight. In addition, the inaccurate position estimation of GPS gives rise to the serious problem of collision, since many drones are controlled in a narrow space. In this study, we increased the accuracy of position estimation through various sensors with Real-Time Kinematic-GPS (RTK-GPS). The mode switching algorithm was proposed to minimize the problem of sensor error. In addition, we introduced the outdoor swarm flight system based on the proposed position estimation.

Owing to the development of semiconductor processing technology, high density complex circuits can be integrated in a System-on-Chip (SoC). However, increasing energy consumption becomes one of the most important limiting factors. Power estimation at the early stage of design is essential, since design changes at lower levels may significantly lengthen the design period and increase the cost. In this paper, logic level circuits ire levelized and several levels are selected to build power model tables for efficient power estimation. The proposed techniques are applied to a set of ISCAS'85 benchmark circuits to illustrate their effectiveness. Experimental results show that significant improvement in estimation accuracy and slight improvement in efficiency are achieved when compared to those of a well-known existing method. The average estimation error has been reduced from $9.49\%\;to\;3.84\%$.

Researches for various lunar landing technologies are in progress for the lunar exploration program planned for early 2020s in Korea. This paper shows the integrated simulation for safe lunar landing guidance/control system in powered descent phase. Generally, the lunar lander uses on/off(bang-bang) controller to control the RCS jet thrusters instead of proportional controller. In this paper, the on/off controller using phase-plane switching function, and thruster selection algorithm to control sixteen thrusters are applied. Also additional guidance commands are calculated by a proposed fuzzy logic guidance algorithm. The simulation results show that lunar lander can follow a reference trajectory which is generated by optimization method, then land on the surface safely.

This paper presents the high performance control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) using space vector(SV) PWM method based on hybrid artificial intelligent(HAI) controller. The HAI controller combines the advantages between adaptive fuzzy control and neural network The SV PWM method is applied to a speed control system of motor in the industry field until now and is feasible to improve harmonic rate of output current, switching frequency and response characteristics. This HAI controller is used instead of conventional PI controller in order to solve problems happening when calculating a reference voltage. The HAI controller improves speed performance by hybrid combination of reference model-based adaptive mechanism method, fuzzy control and neural network. This paper analyzes response characteristics of parameter variation, steady-state and transient-state using proposed HAI controller and this controller compares with conventional fuzzy neural network(FNN) and PI controller. Also, this paper proves validity of HAI controller.

This paper proposes an advanced suspension system and reports its performance in the framework of the preview control algorithm based on the RPS (road profile sensing) system and MSD system with the multi-stage damping characteristics. Typical disturbance inputs that cause excessive vibration and steering instability of an automobile are irregular obstacles that protrude or sink into the road surface to be driven. The control performance can be improved if information on the existence and shape function of its obstacle is known. Based on the results of the previous study, advanced research that uses the actuating system has been processed to be commercialized practically. For this purpose, a switching algorithm between the control logic and the multi-stage damping system was developed and its connectivity is presented. To verify the applicability of an actual vehicle, the proposed control system was implemented in full vehicle models and simulations were performed. The proposed system using the 3-DS actuator system, which is applied for structural simplicity, can improve the ride comfort and steering stability. In addition, the results indicate the feasibility of the intelligently controlled suspension system.

This paper presents a high efficiency resonant asymmetrical half-bridge flyback converter. The primary half-bridge circuit of the converter operates by a soft-switching type using the asymmetrical pulse-width modulation (PWM) method with the resonant capacitance and transformer leakage inductance. The secondary flyback circuit of the proposed converter utilizes a synchronous rectifier, which operates by a new voltage-driven method with a simple drive circuit. Thus the proposed converter improves the total efficiency. This paper explains the operational principle of the proposed converter by each mode and shows the converter design consideration and a design example for the prototype converter, respectively. After that, the proposed simple driving technique of the synchronous rectifier by a voltage-driven method is explained, briefly. The designed prototype converter has wide input voltage (AC $V_{in,rms}$=75~265[V]), 5[V] DC output voltage, and 100[W] output power. To verify the excellent performance of the proposed converter, the designed prototype is implemented and experimented. The good performance of the proposed converter is shown through the experimental results.

In this paper, we propose the adaptive separated-queueing ATM switching model for the effective processing of the various types of multimedia traffic by virtue of ATM switching network with multiple outlets which is the essential part of B-ISDN. This proposed model employs the dynamically separated buffering mechanism in the processing of two classes of cell, realtime service traffic and non-realtime service traffic, at the output buffer to enhance the overall QoS(Quality of Service). The adopted ATM switch architecture has Batcher-banyan based network, but it uses different topologies and control techniques 6to resolve the cell contention. For the performance evaluation of our proposed method, we have done both analytical modeling and simulation. The both results show that our proposed queueing strategy is quite appropriate to the ATM switch with multiple outlets and can quarantee the QoS requirements of the incoming multimedia traffic.

We propose a new approach to accommodate bidirectional asymmetric traffic demands as well as unexpected dynamic internet traffic variation in the WDM mesh network by using optical networking technologies. In the proposed scheme, an intermediate node determines the optical path based on the switching statistics of IP router of the node which characterizes the Internet traffic variation, which in effect provides a dynamic and distributed traffic control over the network. It is expected to reduce the efficiency deterioration of RWA(Routing and Wavelength Assignment) due to the real-time variation of Internet traffic so that expandability and flexibility of the network can be enhanced. In this paper, we describe a methodology for traffic behavior analysis at a node, and the decision policy of the establishment/release of optical path. In addition, we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme through the computer simulations.
