In this paper, unmanned driving of robotic vehicle using magnetic marker is proposed. One of the most important component of autonomous vehicle is to detect the position of a magnetic marker on the road. In order to calculate the precise position of a magnet embedded on the road, the relation of magnetic field and a sensor is analyzed, and a new position sensing system using arrayed magnetic sensor is proposed. Also, the steering control system using a stepping motor is developed for driving by automatic mode as well as manual mode. For the verification of usability, the developed robotic vehicle is tested on magnetic road.

Fractal theory has been adopted as an effective tool for modelling complex and irregular natural phenomena facing in the fields of Computer Science, Engineering, Medical, Climatology and so on. In this paper, we presents an algorithm which enhances the performance of the triangular prism method(TPM) which has been widely used for fractal dimension extraction of natural terrains and images. For this, existing sampling methods are analyzed and a new sampling method which takes their merits is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is tested on fractal terrain maps and its performance is compared with that of other methods.

The stability for a speed sensorless vector control of an induction machine has been studied. These studies show that the sensorless control is apt to be more unstable than the control with sensor on the variation for stator resistance, rotor resistance and system parameters of the machine. First, this paper investigates the speed characteristics when the inertia, J, changes and the rotor resistance, R$_{r}$ changes respectively for a step change of a speed reference, $\omega$. Then, the new speed estimation algorithms with no effects on the parameters variation of the machine and the system is proposed. The proposed method is to implement the observer using voltage, current and constant of the machine. The results are verified by simulation.

This paper presents a step-down DC-DC converter with On-chip Compensation for battery-operated portable electronic devices which are designed in O.13um CMOS standard process. In an effort to decrease system volume, this paper proposes the on chip compensation circuit using capacitor multiplier method. Capacitor multiplier method can minimize error amplifier's compensation capacitor size by 10%. It allows the compensation block of DC-DC converter be easily integrated on a chip and occupy less layout area. But capacitor multiplier operation reduces DC-DC converter efficiency. As a result, this converter shows maximum efficiency over 87.2% for the output voltage of 1.2V (input voltage : 3.3V), maximum load current 500mA, and 25mA output ripple current. This voltage mode controled buck converter has 1MHz switching frequency.

기존에 흔히 볼 수 있는 수도의 원리상 적절한 온도를 맞추는 데 시간과 어려움이 있다. 온수 방향으로 꼭지를 돌리게 되면 내부온수배관의 물의 양이 많아지고, 냉수 방향으로 돌리게 되면 냉수배관의 물의 양이 많아지게 된다. 이 과정에서 자신이 필요한 적절한 온도를 찾기 위해 꼭지를 좌우로 돌리며 온도를 맞춰야 한다. 이 필요성을 덜기 위해 아두이노를 이용한 수온조절 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 아두이노의 수온센서와 스텝모터를 이용하여 구현하며 제안하는 시스템을 통해 어린아이를 목욕시키거나 하는 상황에 큰 편리성을 가져다 줄 것이다. 기존에 발표된 시스템과 달리 단순한 기능만을 가지며 저렴한 이 시스템은 향후 일반가정에 좀 더 보급되기 적합하여 많은 사람들이 화상의 위험과, 물의 소비를 줄이는데 도움을 줄 것이다.

A swirl ratio of a charge in the cylinder could be calculated by measuring both the rotary speed of paddle and the intake air flow rate in the swirl measurement apparatus fur several positions of valve lift. The automation of the swirl ratio measurement for a cylinder head is achieved by controlling both the valve lift of cylinder head and a suction pressure of the surge tank, instead of controlling them manually. PID control of the surge tank pressure and positioning a valve lift of the cylinder head are also achieved by using two step motors, respectively. Rotating speed of a paddle are measured using an optical sensor and a counter. Flow rate are measured from ISA 1932 flow nozzle by reading a differential pressure gauge position using IEEE-1394 camera. Time to measure the swirl ratio for a port in the cylinder head is drastically reduced from an hour to 3 minutes by automation control of the apparatus.

A Propulsion System of the CRW(Canard Rotor Wing) type UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) was composed of the turbojet engine to generate the propulsive exhaust gas, and the duct system including main and rotary ducts, the nozzle subsystem including main and tip jet nozzle for three flight modes such as lift/landing mode, low speed transition flight mode and high speed forward flight mode. Transient simulation performance utilized the ICV (Inter-component volume) method and simulated using the SIMULINK. Transient performance analysis was performed on 3 cases. Fuel flow schedules to accelerate from Idle to maximum rotational speed were divided into the step increase of the most severe case and ramp increase cases to avoid the overshoot of turbine inlet temperature, and variations of thrust and the turbine inlet temperature were investigated in some transient analysis cases.

Recently, the study on non-linear equalization, self-recovering equalization using the neural Network structure or Fuzzy logic, is lively in progress. In this thesis, if the value of error difference is large, coefficient adaptation rate is bigger, and if being small, it is smaller. We proposed the new FSG(Fuzzy Stochastic Gradient)/CMA algorithm combining TS(Tagaki-Sugeno) fuzzy model having fast convergence rate and low mean square error(MSE) and CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm) which is prone to ISI and insensitive to phase alteration. As a simulation result of the designed channel adaptive equalizer using the proposed FSG/CMA algorithm, it is shown that SNR is improved about 3.5dB comparing to the conventional algorithm.

A new type of digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) that employs a multilevel quantified timing error detector (TED) is proposed and analyzed under the assumption of negligible quantizing effect and no noise. Since the timing error is quantized uniformly, the TED has a linear characteristic. From the linear characteristic of TED, a first order difference equation describing the behavior of the loop is derived. Using the system equation, the loop is analyzed mathematically for phase step and frequency step input. Desired locking condition for the loop to be locked and the lock range for the DPLL's to achieve exact locking independently of initial conditions are ob-tained. And these analyses are confirmed by timing error plane plots and computer simulation.

Precise control of oxidizer mass flow rate is important for hybrid rocket thrust control. In this study, oxidizer mass flow rate control system is developed by using stepping motor which is controlled by Labview program. Gox is used for oxidizer and PolyCarbonate, PolyEthylene, and PMMA is used for solid propellant. To suppress thrust oscillation during thrust control experiment, schematics of the experiment is analysised and revised. Results show that thrust oscillation is suppressed successfully.
