In this paper, a simplified Cubature Kalman Filter (SCKF) is proposed to reduce the computation load of CKF, which is then used as a filter for transfer alignment of shipboard INS. CKF is an approximate Bayesian filter that can be applied to non-linear systems. When an initial estimation error is large, convergence characteristic of the CKF is more stable than that of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), and the reliability of the filter operation is more ensured than that of the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). However, when a system degree is large, the computation amount of CKF is also increased significantly, becoming a burden on real-time implementation in embedded systems. A simplified CKF is proposed to address this problem. This filter is applied to shipboard inertial navigation system (INS) transfer alignment. In the filter design for transfer alignment, measurement type and measurement update rate should be determined first, and if an application target is a ship, lever-arm problem, flexure of the hull, and asynchronous time problem between Master Inertial Navigation System (MINS) and Slave Inertial Navigation System (SINS) should be taken into consideration. In this paper, a transfer alignment filter based on SCKF is designed by considering these problems, and its performance is validated based on simulations.

A vacuum control system has been developed for using Ethernet Multi Serial Device Severs (EMSDS) for the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) storage ring. There are 124 vacuum ion pumps at the storage ring. It was a very important problem to solve the problem how to control such a big number of vacuum pumps distributed around the ring. After discussions, we decided to develop a serial to ethernet interrace device sever that will be mounted in the control system rack. It has a 32-bits microprocessor embedded Linux, 12 ports RS485 (or RS232) slave interface. one channel 10/100BaseTx ethernet host port, one channel UART host port, and 16 Mbytes large memory buffer. These vacuum pumps are connected to Ion-Pump serial controllers, which chop the AC current so as to control the current in the pumps. The EMSDS connect either 100BaseTx or 10BaseT ethernet networks to asynchronous serial ports for communication with serial device. It can simultaneously control up to 12 ion-pump serial controllers. 12 EMSDS are connected to a personal computer (PC) through the network. The PC can automatically control the EMSDS by sending a set of commands through the TCP/IP network. Upon receiving a command from a PC running under Windows2000 through the network, the EMSDS communicate through the stave serial interrace ports to ion-pump controller. We added some software components on the top of EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) toolkit.

본 논문에서는 간섭제거기(IC: Interference Cancellation or MUD; Multi-User Detector)를 적용한 WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access)방식 의 비동기식 IMT(International Mobile Telecommunication)-2000 시스템에서 역방향 링크의 통화권에 대해 분석하였다. 간섭제거기는 역방향 링크의 통화권 확장을 위해 사용되었으며, 시스템 용량과 통화권의 관계를 대수-정규(log-normal)분포의 전파음영 환경에서 경로손실과 전파음영감쇠를 포함하는 전파손실모델 및 간섭의 영향을 고려하였다. 간섭량은 정량 산출이 어렵기 때문에 본 논문에서는 전체 셀의 간섭 대 내부 셀의 간섭비를 이용하였다. 간섭제거기를 사용하여 다중접속간섭(MAI; Multiple Access Interference)의 제거를 통한 시스템의 성능향상을 비교 분석하기 위해 간섭제거기 효율($\beta$)을 이용하였다. 모의실험은 실제 무선전파환경에 근접한 전파예측 모델인 Hata모델을 이용하여 반송파 주파수 800 MHz와 1900 MHz에서 음성서비스와 데이터서비스의 전송속도(bit rate)에 따라 동일한 대역폭(3.84 MHz)에서의 통화권을 분석하고, 내부셀에 간섭제거기를 적용하여, 용량 및 통화권의 성능을 비교 분석하여 실제 시스템에서의 성능을 예측하였다.

본 논문은 동기복조 방식의 그룹단위 직렬 교차 간섭제거(GSCIC; Groupwise serial cross interference cance-llation) 알고리즘을 제안하고, 기존 GBSIC(Groupwise serial block interference cancellation) 알고리즘과 함께 다중경로 페이닝 채널에서 단위 셀 비동기 W-CDMA 시스템 역방향 링크에 적용하여 해석하였다. 그룹단위 직렬 간섭제거 알고리즘(GSIC; Groupwise serial interference cancellation)은 일반적으로 그룹단위 직렬 블록 간섭제거(GSBIC) 알고리즘과 그룹단위 직렬 교차 간섭제거(GSCIC) 알고리즘으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 GSCIC 제안 알고리즘은 기존 GSBIC 알고리즘을 개선한 것이다. 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에서 GSBIC 알고리즘은 감소인자 $R_{f}$에 따라 GSBIC 알고리즘보다 우수한 성능을 얻었고, 직렬 간섭제거 알고리즘과 비슷한 성능을 얻었다. 한편, GSBIC와 GSCIC 알고리즘은 시스템 처리 능력에 따라 그룹 내 사용자 수를 가변하면서 성능을 쉽게 분석할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다.

기존의 SSD 스토리지 테스터는 TCP와 네트워크 파일 시스템을 이용하여 서버 - 클라이언트 간 1-N 구조로 로그를 처리하였다. 이러한 방식은 CPU 사용량 증가, 예외처리의 어려움 등의 문제가 발생한다. 이에 본 논문은 Kafka나 RabbitMQ 같은 오픈 소스 메시징 시스템을 이용하여 비동기 분산처리가 가능한 로그 처리 메시지 레이어를 구현하고 기존 로그 전송방식과 비교하였다. 로그 시뮬레이터(Simulator) 를 구현하여 전송 대역폭과 CPU 사용량을 비교하였다. 테스트 결과 기존 전송 방법과 비교하여 메시지 레이어를 이용한 전송이 대역폭에서 높은 성능을 보였으며 CPU 사용량의 경우 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 메시지 레이어를 이용할 경우 기존 방식보다 더 쉽게 구현 가능하며 성능 면에서도 더 높은 효율을 보였으므로 기존 방식보다 높은 효율을 보일 것으로 기대된다.

The Terra-Scope system is an affordable 4-D down-hole seismic monitoring system based on independent, microprocessor-controlled sensor Pods. The Pods are nominally 50 mm in diameter, and about 120 mm long. They are expected to cost approximately $6000 each. An internal 16-bit, extremely low power MCU controls all aspects of instrumentation, eight programmable gain amplifiers, and local signal storage. Each Pod measures 3-D acceleration, tilt, azimuth, temperature, and other parametric variables such as pore water pressure and pH. Each Pod communicates over a standard digital bus (RS-485) through a completely web-based GUI interface, and has a power consumption of less than 400 mW. Three-dimensional acceleration is measured by pure digital force-balance MEMS-based accelerometers. These accelerometers have a dynamic range of more than 115 dB and a frequency response from DC to 1000 Hz with a noise floor of less than $30ng_{rms}/{\surd}Hz$. Accelerations above 0.2 g are measured by a second set of MEMS-based accelerometers, giving a full 160 dB dynamic range. This paper describes the system design and the cooperative shared-time scheduler implemented for this project. Restraints accounted for include multiple data streams, integration of multiple free agents, interaction with the asynchronous world, and hardened time stamping of accelerometer data. The prototype of the device is currently undergoing evaluation. The first array will be installed in the spring of 2006.

A proton therapy facility is under development at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). To meet the need for fast energy changes during treatments, a beamline control system (BCS) has been designed and implemented. The BCS coordinates and controls various beamline devices by adopting a distributed architecture divided into three layers: the client, server, and device layers. Among these, the design of the server layer is the key to realize fast energy changes. The server layer adopts the submodule programming paradigm and optimizes the data interface among modules, allowing the main workflow to be separated from the device workflow and data. Furthermore, this layer uses asynchronous, multithreaded, and thread-locking methods to improve the system's ability to operation efficiently and securely. Notably, to evaluate the changing energy status over time, a dynamic node update method is adopted, which can dynamically adjust the update frequency of variable nodes. This method not only meets the demand for fast updates on energy changes but also reduces the server's communication load in the steady state. This method is tested on a virtual platform, and the results are as expected.

In this article, we present and analyze the results of the three consecutive in vivo experiments of the LVAD to evaluate the function of the LVAD and the adverse effects on living animals. We applied the LVAD consecutively to three mongrel dogs and the circulation of the blood was assisted under the anesthesia. We used in general both the asynchronous mode and the synchronous mode to drive the LVAD. During the experiments we monitored the dogs with a polygraph to evaluate the function of the LVAD and the additional effects on the natural hearts. We also examined several clinical pathologic tests in order to see the effects of the LVAD to the red blood cells and the other internal organs. The dogs survived for two to there days. The LVAD assisted the circulatory system at the maximum assist flow rate of 3.0 1/min. Although the red blood cells of the dogs had mechanical damages by the LVAD to result in the hemolysis, the degree of the hemolysis was not so high and the damages caused by the hemolysis on the dogs were not serious. The myocardium of the first dog was gradually worsened and eventually failed. The damage of the myocardium was due to the asynchronous driving mode of the LVAD. The other organs did not have serious damages due to the application of the LVAD. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the results of the in vivo experiments of the LVAD and to find better ways to the application of the LVAD to human beings.

This paper describes how to use Profibus networks to support real-time industrial communications, that is, how to ensure the transmission of real-time messages within a maximum bound time. Profibus is based on a simplified timed token protocol, which is a well-proved solution for the real-time communication systems. However, Profibus differs from the timed token protocol, thus the usual timed token protocol has to be modified in order to be applied in Profibus. In fact, the real-time solutions for networks based on the timed token protocol rely on the possibility of allocating specific bandwidth for the real-time traffic. This means that a minimum amount of time to transmit the real-time messages is always guaranteed whenever each token is arrived. In other words, with the Profibus protocol, at least, one real-time message should be transmitted per every token visit in the worst case. It is required to control medium access properly to satisfy the message deadlines. In this paper, we have presented how to obtain the optimal network parameter for the Profibus protocol. The selected network parameter is valid regardless of the behavior of asynchronous messages.

기지국간 비동기방식을 사용하는 CDMA 이동통신 방식에서는 handoff시 초기동기 획득시간이 빠른 초기동기 획득방식이 요구되므로 정합필터를 사용하는 초기동기획득 방식이 고려될 수 있다. Rayleigh fading 채널에서 non coherent QPSK/DS-SS방식으로 신호를 수신하는 model에서 정합필터방식으로 초기동기획득을 위해 소요되는 평균 초기동기 획득시간은 직렬상관방식에 비해 정합필터의 길이에 비례하여 단축됨을 분석하였다. 그러나, 종래의 정합필터 방식이 초기동기획득시간은 단축되지만 HW복잡도로 인한 구현상의 단점을 보완하기위해 본 논문에서는 기억소자를 이용한 HW 재사용에 의해 상관 연산을 반복해서 할 수 있는 설계방안을 제시하므로써 기존 정합필터의 HW복잡도를 정합필터 분할 길이 만큼 줄일 수 있도록 하였고, Altera MAXPlus Ⅱ FPGA로 simulation하므로써 기능을 입증하였다.
