This paper describes new communication methods for transmitting torque commands between the vehicle controller that determines the amount of power generation in a range-extended electric vehicle and the engine controller that performs it. Generally, vehicles use CAN communication, but in this case, the hardware and software of the existing engine controller must be modified. For this reason, it is not easy to apply CAN communication to small and medium sized automotive reorganize companies. Therefore, this research presents a pin-pin communication method for applying the existing mass produced engine controller to range-extended electric vehicles. The pin-pin communication method converts the driver's demand torque control map inside an mass produced engine controller into a virtual accelerator opening position according to the target speed and target torque of the engine, and converts this to a voltage signal for the existing mass produced engine controller to recognize it. The virtual accelerator opening positions are mounted in the form of a control map in the vehicle controller through the reverse conversion process in an offline environment and are determined by the engine generating power requirements and engine optimal operating point algorithm. These algorithms and signal conversion circuits for engine torque transmission have been mounted on the vehicle controller to conduct the virtual accelerator opening position conversion process according to the engine target torque and to establish the virtual accelerator voltage signal using the signal converter.

Biopotential signals have been used as command in systems using electrical stimulation of motor nerves to restore movement after an injury to the central nervous system (CNS). In order to use the voluntary EMG (electromyography) among the biopotentials as a control signal for the electrical stimulation of the same muscle for CNS injury patients, it is necessary to remove M-wave of having high magnitude from raw data. We designed an optimal filter for removing the M-wave and preserving the voluntary EMG and showed that the optimal filter is eigen filter. We also proved that the previous method using the prediction error filter(PEF) is a suboptimal filtering in the sense of preserving the voluntary EMG. On basis of the data obtained from a model for M-wave and voluntary EMG and from actual CNS injury patients, with false-positive rate analysis, the proposed adaptive filter showed a very promising performance in comparison with previous method.

해상 무선 통신에서 신호 다중 경로로 인하여 장거리 데이터 통신에 어려움이 있을 수 있다. 이를 해소하기 위하여 채널 등화 기술을 사용할 수 있다. 제안하는 채널 등화 기술은 비터비 알고리즘을 이용한 시퀀스 신호 검출로 구현의 복잡도를 낮추기 위하여 결정 피드백 방식을 이용하여 트랠리스 상태의 개수를 줄였다. 16QAM과 심볼 속도 76.8kHz의 신호에 대하여 10usec와 30usec 지연 시간 차이를 갖는 2-way 신호 경로의 채널 모델에 대한 컴퓨터 모의 시험을 수행하였다. 제안한 등화 기술을 사용할 경우 고려한 다중 신호 경로에 대하여 수신 오류율에서 error flow가 관찰되지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

Mobile ECG signal measurement is a technique to measure small signals of several mV, and many studies have been conducted to remove noise including wandering scheme. Removal of the equipotential line noise caused by shaking or movement of the electrode cable is one of the core research contents for the electrocardiogram measurement. In this study, we proposed a modified step-size of combined NLMS(normalized least squares) and DLMS(delayed least squares) adaptive filter to eliminate baseline noise from ECG signals. The proposed method mainly adjusts initial filter step-size to reduce distortion of original ECG signals characteristic after eliminating baseline noise. The modified filter step-size is scaled by filter order size and distortion minimization factor. This method is suitable for portable ECG device with a small processor and less power consumption. This technique also decreases computation time which is essential for real-time filtering. The proposed filter also increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR) compared to conventional NLMS filter.

As traffic congestion in cities becomes more serious, intelligent traffic control is actively being researched. Reinforcement learning is the most actively used algorithm for traffic signal control, and recently Deep reinforcement learning has attracted attention of researchers. Extended versions of deep reinforcement learning have been emerged as deep reinforcement learning algorithm showed high performance in various fields. However, most of the existing traffic signal control were studied in a single intersection environment, and there is a limitation that the method at a single intersection does not consider the traffic conditions of the entire city. In this paper, we propose a cooperative traffic control at multi-intersection environment. The traffic signal control algorithm is based on a combination of extended versions of deep reinforcement learning and we considers traffic conditions of adjacent intersections. In the experiment, we compare the proposed algorithm with the existing deep reinforcement learning algorithm, and further demonstrate the high performance of our model with and without cooperative method.

When an optical disc is being played. the pick-up converts light to analog signal at first. The analog signal is equalized for removing the inter-symbol interference and then the equalized analog signal is converted into the digital signal for extracting the synchronized data and clock signals. There are a lot of algorithms that minimize the BER in extracting the synchronized data and clock when high. density optical disc like BD is being played in low speed. But if the high-density optical disc is played in high speed, it is difficult to adopt the same extraction algorithm to data PLL and PRML architecture used in low speed application. It is because the signal with more than 800MHz should be processed in those architectures. Generally, in the 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology, it is necessary to have the high speed analog cores and lots of efforts to layout. In this paper, the parallel data PLL and PRML architecture, which enable to process in BD 8x speed of the maximum speed of the high-density optical disc as the extracting data and clock circuit, is proposed. Test results show that the proposed architecture is well operated without processing error at BD 8x speed.

A current TV out format is quite different from that of HDTV or PC monitor in encoding techniques. In other words, a conventional analog TV uses interlaced display while HDTV or PC monitor uses Non-interlaced / Progressive-scanned display. In order to encode image signals coming from devices that takes interlaced display format for progressive scanned display, a hardware logic in which scanning and interpolation algorithms are implemented is necessary. The ELA(Edge-Based Line Average) algorithm have been widely used because it provided good characteristics. In this study, the ADI(Adaptive De-interlacing Interpolation) algorithm using to improve the ELA algorithm which shows low quality in vertical edge detections and low efficiency of horizontal edge lines. With the De-interlacing ASIC chip that converts the interlaced Digital YUV to De-interlaced Digital RGB is designed. The VHDL is used for chip design.
