The piezoelectric actuating device is known for its large power density and simple structure. It can generate a larger force than a conventional actuator and has also wide bandwidth with fast response in a compact size. To control the piezoelectric actuator, we need an analog signal conditioning circuit as well as digital microcontrollers. Conventional microcontrollers are not equipped with an analog part and need digital-to-analog converters, which makes the system bulky compared with the small size of piezoelectric devices. To overcome these weaknesses, we are developing a single-chip controller that can handle analog and digital signals simultaneously using mixed-signal FPGA technology. This gives more flexibility than traditional fixed-function microcontrollers, and the control speed can be increased greatly due to the parallel processing characteristics of the FPGA. In this paper, we developed a floating-point multiplier, PWM generator, 80-kHz power control loop, and 1-kHz position feedback control loop using a single mixed-signal FPGA. It takes only 50 ns for single floating-point multiplication. The PWM generator gives two outputs to control the charging and discharging of the high-voltage output capacitor. Through experimentation and simulation, it is demonstrated that the designed control loops work properly in a real environment.

In this paper, the CMOS integrated circuit technique for implementing current-mode maximum and minimum operations scheme is described. The maximum and minimum operations are incorporated into the same scheme with parallel processing. Using this scheme as the basic unit, an analog three-input maximum, median, and minimum circuit is designed. The performance of the proposed circuit shows a very sharp transfer characteristic and high accuracy. The proposed circuit achieves a high-speed operation, which is suitable for real-time systems. The PSPICE simulation results demonstrating the characteristic of the proposed circuit are included.

This paper describes the designed and fabricated thermal imaging system with the SPRITE(Signal PRocessing in The Element) detector, operating in the 3-12 micron band. This system consists of an afocal telescope, a scan unit containing the SPRITE detector, an electronic processor unit and a cooler. The optical scan system utilizing rotating polygon and oscillating mirror, is 2-dimensional serial/parallel scan type using five elements of the detector. And the electronic processor unit performs digital scan conversion to reform the parallel data stream into serial analog data compatable with conventional RS-170 video. The scan field of view is 40 ${\times}$ 26.7 and the MRTD(Minium Resolvable Temperature Difference) is 0.6 K at 7.5 cycles/mm. The acquired thermal image indicates that this system has a satisfactory performance.

A heart diagnosis system adopts Superconducting Quantum Interface Device(SQUID) sensors for precision MCG signal acquisitions. Such system is composed of hundreds of sensors, requiring fast signal sampling and precise analog-digital conversions(ADC). Our development of hardware board, processing 64-channel 12-bit 1ks/s, is built by using 8-channel ADC chips, 8-bit microprocessors, SPI interfaces, and parallel data transfers between microprocessors to meet the 1ks/s, i.e. 1 ms speed. The test result shows that the signal acquisition is done in 168 usuc which is much shorter than the required 1 ms period. This hardware will be extended to 256 channel data acquisition to be used for the diagnosis system.

We propose on a novel vertical configuration (VC) for a helix-deformed ferroelectric liquid crystal (HDFLC) display that has fast response, high contrast, analog gray scale capability, and wide-viewing characteristics. In contrast to a conventional HDFLC in a planar geometry, smectic layers arrange themselves parallel to the substrates, and thus, extremely uniform alignment of molecules in large area is naturally achieved in our new configuration without additional processes such as the rubbing and/or electric field treatment. Moreover, with a proper design of electrode patterns on the same substrate, multidomain switching is easily realized without employing any complex process of alignment. Our new VC-HDFLC is expected to provide a viable technology to produce a next-generation large area LCD suitable for processing the dynamic image at a video-rate.

A novel nondestructive testing (NDT) system, which is able to detect a crack with high speed and high spatial resolution, is urgently required for inspecting small cracks on express train wheels. This paper proposes a high speed scan type magnetic camera, which uses the multiple amplifying circuits and the crack indicating pulse output system. The linearly integrated Hall sensors are arrayed in parallel, and the Hall voltages from each sensor in the scanning direction are obtained and amplified. High-speed NDT can be achieved by using the exclusive analog-digital converter and micro-processor because the ${\partial}\;V_H/\;{\partial}$ x value, which provides the most important crack information, can be obtained by buffering and calculating. The effectiveness of the novel method was verified by examine using cracks on the wheel specimen model.

한국자원연구소에서는 1984년 이후 전해저 굴절법 탄성과탐사를 수행하여 왔다. 굴절법 탐사자료가 아날로그방식으로 기록되어 여러개의 지층구조해석이 어려웠다. 친 해저 굴절법 탐사자료의 해석은 각지층의 층후 및 탄성과 전달속도를 구하는 것이 그 목적인데 정밀해석을 위해서는 굴절법자료의 해상도가 향상되어야 하며 해석의 전산자 동화가 이루어 져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 컴퓨터가 기본이 되는 자료취득 및 처리스스템을 이용하여 천해저 굴절법 탐사자료를 디지털로 취득함으로써 그 해상도를 높이고, 해석의 신속 정확성을 위하여 전산 해석을 수행하였다. 이 시스템은 IBM AT 호환기종의 마이크로 컴퓨터 와 12 bit 정밀도, 250 kHz의 추출속도를 갖는 A/D 변환 기 그리고 대용량의 자료를 기록할 수 있는 광자기 디스크 드라이브로 구성된다. 현장 탐사에 응용하기 위하여 울산, 부산간 6개 지점에서 천해저 굴절법 탐사를 수행하였 다. 현장탐사에는 무선부표(radio sonobuoy)가 사용되었다. 취득된 디지털 자료를 기 본 전산처리한 후 300 (dpi) 해상도의 레이저 프린터로 굴절법 단면기록을 제작하였 다. 아날로그 탐사기록에서는 2-4개 층의 해석이 가능하지만 디지털 기록에서는 5-9개 층에 대한 탄성과 전파속도 및 심도를 구할 수 있었다. 퇴적층의 전파속도는 1.6-2.1 km/sec로 산출되었으며 음향기반의 속도는 울산근해가 2.4-2.7 km/sec, 부산근해는 4.8 km/sec로 산출되었다.

Speckle photography is a very useful method for measuring in-plane surface displacement. In its basic form, the object to be studied is illuminated with a divergent laser beam, and a double exposure photograph of the object is recorded, on a fine-grain film or plate, before and after the object is deformed, The magnitude and the direction of the displacement can then be obtained by measuring the spacing and the direction of the Young's fringe, which is produced by probing the developed negative with an unexpaned laser beam, and consists of a pattern of parallel equi-spaced dark bands. In this paper, a hybrid optical and electronic image processing is described-Young's fringe on the viewing screen is observed by a TV-camera and the 2-D video signal is converted from analog to digital and transfered to the computer where the spacing and direction of the fringes are calculated. Several examples of application show that the displacement magnitude and direction can be determined with an accuracy of $0.1{\mu}m\;and\;0.1^{\circ}$ respectively.
