This research attempted simplifications to the LED street light for price competitiveness. The street light was simplified by replacing the SMPS with an IC driver on the PCB using an AC-type LED. The optical element that shape of a line-shaped lens covered LED crowded. Thus, this study aims to improve LED efficiency by using the minimum optical system. In order to satisfy the M3 regulation of street lighting at grade, the lens was divided into two parts depending on the forward direction of the light. Further, the changes in the number of LEDs located on part 1 and part 2 of the lens were analyzed. Through simulation, we determined the proper light distribution that meets M3 regulation of street lighting.

Over the years, plasma display panel (PDP) manufacturers have impressed the flat panel display industry with yet another new product essentially having the merits of a larger screen size. Since larger size implies higher power ratings, voltage/current ratings of the power devices used have become a rising concern. Another important concern is the brightness of PDP, one way of increasing which is by operating the PDP at higher frequencies. In order to address the above issues, a transformer coupled sustain-driver for AC-PDP is proposed During the transition time, the two windings of the transformer greatly boost up the displacement current flowing through the panel capacitance and hence enable a fast inversion of the voltage polarity with practical values of resonant inductance. In the proposed topology, the resonant inductance can be increased by a factor of $(n+1)^2$ as compared to prior approaches. Increased inductance results in lower current stresses. Moreover, high frequency operation is possible by using higher value of n (turn ratio of the transformer). The operational principle and design procedure of the proposed circuit are presented with theoretical analysis. The validity of the proposed sustain driver is established through simulation and experimental results using a 42-in PDP

New concept of energy recovery for plasma display panel (PDP) Is proposed. Different from conventional LC resonant sustaining drivers, the current built up before inverting the polarity of the panel electrodes is utilized to change the panel Polarity together with energy Previously charged in Panel capacitance. This operation Provides zero -voltage-switching of switches and reduction of EMI by rejecting the surge current when the sustain switches are turned on. The build-up current helps to reduce transition time of panel polarity and may produce more stable light waveforms. This method shows a desirable characteristic that the circuit loss is similar to that of series resonant type energy recovery circuit which is very effective method.

This paper proposes a primary side constant power control scheme for TRIAC dimmer compatible LED drivers. The LED driver is a Flyback converter operated in boundary conduction mode (BCM) to minimize the switching loss. With the proposed control scheme, the input power of the Flyback converter can be controlled by the TRIAC dimming angle, which is not affected by AC input voltage variations. Since the output voltage is almost constant for LED loads, the output current can be changed by controlling the input power with a given conversion efficiency. The isolated feedback circuit is eliminated with the proposed primary side control scheme, which dramatically simplifies the whole circuit. In addition, the input current automatically follows the input voltage due to the BCM operation, and the resistive input characteristic can be achieved which is attractive for TRIAC dimming applications. Experimental results from a 15W prototype verify the theoretical analysis.

Recently, IVS(Intelligent Vehicle Systems) or ITS(Intelligent Traffic Systems) are much concerned subjects of automotive industry. In this paper, we will introduce an Intelligent Online Driving System for a car. This system allows the driver to be able to drive the car just by operating an integrated joystick. The proposed driving system could be implemented into any car and the key point of the design is that the driver still can drive the car as normal without using the joystick. Our Intelligent Online Driving System includes the integrated joystick, steering wheel control system, brake and acceleration (B&A)pedals control system, and the central control computer system. Steering wheel and B&A pedals are controlled by AC servo-motors. The integrated joystick generates the desired positions and the embedded computer controls these two servomotors to track the commands given by joystick. The control method for two servo-motors is PID control.

Drunk driving defines a driver as unable to drive a vehicle safely due to drinking. To crack down on drunk driving, alcohol concentration evaluates through breathing and crack down on drinking using S-shaped courses. A method for assessing drunk driving without using BAC or BrAC is measurement via biosignal. Depending on the individual specificity of drinking, alcohol evaluation studies through various biosignals need to be conducted. In this study, we measure biosignals that are related to alcohol concentration, predict BrAC through SVM, and verify the effectiveness of the S-shaped course. Participants were 8 men who have a driving license. Subjects conducted a d2 test and a scenario evaluation of driving an S-shaped course when they attained BrAC's certain criteria. We utilized SVR to predict BrAC via biosignals. Statistical analysis used a one-way Anova test. Depending on the amount of drinking, there was a tendency to increase pupil size, HR, normLF, skin conductivity, body temperature, SE, and speed, while normHF tended to decrease. There was no apparent change in the respiratory rate and TN-E. The result of the D2 test tended to increase from 0.03% and decrease from 0.08%. Measured biosignals have enabled BrAC predictions using SVR models to obtain high Figs in primary and secondary cross-validations. In this study, we were able to predict BrAC through changes in biosignals and SVMs depending on alcohol concentration and verified the effectiveness of the S-shaped course drinking control method.

We utilize as a processor TMS320C25 (Texas Instrument) in making a driver for a 4 pole PM synchronous servo motor. TMS320C25 has a 32bit ALU and a 16 bit hardware multiplier, and the maximum instruction execution rate is 10MIPS at 40MHz. We adopted a space vector modulation PWM method. An interesting point of this work is that PWM wave is generated by utilizing timer interrupts. Hence, in the rest of time the processor can take care of the other routine such as Park's coordinate transformation and the computation required in the feedback loops. Thus, it mates the hardware circuit very simple. Due to the decrease in the number of components, the motor drive system becomes more fault-tolerant and cost-optimized. Also, more flexibility is gained in changing the control parameters.

In this paper, we developed a surface profile measuring system and a profile measuring software for EGL conductor roll. For the profilemeter, we designed a linear guided control system with Laser displacement sensors and developed a 3-dimensional software. Additionally, the AC motor and AC motor driver were used to control the precise position of linear guide system. The measuring principle of the Laser sensor is optical triangulation method. Also, two Laser sensors were used to remove the disturbance and vibration effects of the linear guide system.

단일 서스테인 구동회로로서 캐패시터를 이용하여 가스 방전 스위치의 전압 스트레스를 절반으로 줄일 수 있는 새로운 멀티레벨 단일 서스테인 구동회로를 제안한다. 기존의 단일 서스테인 구동회로는 +Vs 및 -Vs의 양극성 전원을 사용함에 따라 스위치 전압 스트레스가 2Vs가 되어 스위치로서 전력밀도가 높으면서 가격이 낮은 IGBT를 사용해야 하지만 도통손실이 매우 커 발열에 문제점을 보인다. 제안하는 멀티레벨 단일 에너지 회수 서스테인 구동회로는 에너지 회수 인덕터에 의해 전압이 Vs로 유지되는 부유 캐패시터를 이용하여 가스 방전 스위치의 내압을 기존의 2Vs에서 Vs로 낮추게 되어 스위치 선택의 폭을 넓힐 뿐만 아니라 구동회로의 도통 손실을 개선하여 발열을 줄일 수 있다.
