We propose a multi-channel current-balancing single switch light-emitting diode (LED) driver for a 3D TV. Conventional LED drivers require non-isolated DC/DC converters as many as the number of LED channels, whereas the proposed LED driver needs only one power switch and several balancing capacitors instead of expensive non-isolated DC/DC converters. Therefore, the proposed driver features a simple structure with low cost and high efficiency. In particular, because its power switch can be turned off under the zero-current switching condition, the proposed driver has desirable advantages, such as improved electromagnetic interference characteristics and high efficiency. Moreover, it only uses a small number of DC blocking capacitors with no additional active devices for the current balancing of multi-channel LEDs. Therefore, the proposed driver exhibits high reliability and cost effectiveness. To confirm the validity of the proposed driver, we perform a theoretical analysis and present design considerations and experimental results obtained from a prototype that is applicable to a 46" LED TV.

This paper presents a cell balancing method for a single switch flyback converter with a multi-winding transformer. The conventional method using a flyback converter with a multi-winding transformer is simple and easy to control, but the voltage of each secondary winding coil might be non-uniform because of the unequal effective turn-ratio. In particular, it is difficult to control the non-uniform effect using turn-ratios because secondary coil has a limited number of turns. The non-uniform secondary voltages disturb the cell balancing procedure and induce an unbalance in cell voltages. Individual cell control by adding a switch for each cell can reduce the undesirable effect. However, the circuit becomes bulky, resulting in additional loss. The proposed method here uses the conventional flyback converter with an adjustment made to the output filters of the cells, instead of the additional switch. The magnitude of voltage applied to a particular cell can be reduced or increased according to the adjusted filter and the selected switching frequency. An analysis of the conventional converter configuration and the filter design method reveals the possibility of adequate cell balancing control without any additional switch on the secondary side.

A vehicle's differential gear is a device designed to allow the vehicle's outer wheels to turn faster than the inner wheels when turning on a curve. The differential gear case is the main component of the differential gear system, which is composed of ring gear, pinion gear and side gear, and is fastened by pinion shaft pins. The differential gear case rotates when the vehicle is running, so balancing calibration is very important. In this study, a balancing machine that can diagnose and correct the differential gear case and mass imbalance of various rotating bodies was designed. The differential gear case was rotated at high speed to accurately diagnose the location and value of the unbalanced mass, and it was designed to be balanced and corrected by removing the unbalanced mass by drilling. After calibration, it was confirmed that the unbalanced value of all the measured samples was reduced to less than 180g.mm, and the unbalance reduction ratio was improved to 60~70%.

본 논문에서 설계한 HWbF(Hit and WLC based Firewall)은 PFS(Packet Filter Station)과 APS(Application Proxy Station)으로 구성된다. PFS는 로드 밸런싱을 이용한 PLB(Packet Load Balancing) 모듈을 이용해 패킷들을 분산시켜 패킷 전송 지연을 방지하고 병목현상을 줄이도록 설계하였고 APS는 로드 밸런싱을 이용한 PCSLB(Proxy Cash Server Load Balancing)모듈을 이용해 효율적인 프록시 캐쉬 서버를 관리하고, 패킷 트래픽량을 이용해 DoS 공격을 탐지하도록 설계하였다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 설계한 HWbF는 기존이 방화벽의 단점이었던 패킷 전송 지연을 방지하고 병목현상을 줄여 패킷 처리속도를 향상시킨다. 또한, 패킷 트래픽 임계값을 패킷 트래픽 량에 따라 자동 조절함으로써 기존의 평균값과 고정 임계치에 대한 각각의 DoS 공격 오탐지율(TCP)이 50%와 25%에서 제안한 수식에 의해 각각 38%와 17%으로 감소시켜, DoS 공격 트패픽의 탐지능력을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 프록시 캐쉬 서버의 부하도 줄인다.

부하균형을 위해서는 각 노드의 부하상태 정보가 모든 노드에게 알려져야 하는데 O.Lee[15]가 제안한 SRIBD(Symmetric Balanced Incomplete Block Design) 기반의 부하균형 알고리즘은 노드의 수가 v일 때 2라운드 메시지 교환과 O (${\upsilon}{\sqrt{\upsilon}}$)의 통신오버헤드에 의해 각 노드가 네트워크상의 모든 노드로부터 부하상태 정보를 수신한다. 이 때 각 노드의 통신오버헤드는 O ($\sqrt{\upsilon}$)로서 각 노드가 균등한 오버헤드를 가지며 각 노드가 수신한 정보는 중복이 없다는 점 또한 이 알고리즘의 장점이다. 기술한 바와 같이 이 알고리즘은 매우 효율적이지만 임의의 소수 p에 대하여 노드의 수가 $v=p^2+p+1$일 때만 수행될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 네트워크상의 노드의 수가 임의의 양의 정수일 때도 이 알고리즘이 동작할 수 있도록 특수한 결합구조를 생성하고자 한다. 이 제안의 성과를 평가하기 위해 노드의 수가 w($5{\leq} w{\leq}5,000$)인 네트워크를 가정하고 각각의 경우에 두 번의 라운드 정보교환으로 최소 80% 이상의 부하상태정보를 수신하도록 실험을 수행한 결과 트래픽오버헤드는 O($w{\sqrt{w}}$) 보다 낮으며 각 노드의 트래픽 오버헤드가 균등하지는 않으나 그 편차가 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

This paper proposes a heuristic algorithm to efficiently perform line balancing in the PCB assembly line including multiple surface mounters efficiently. Generally, the problems in line balancing are classified into two kinds. Firstly, is the determining of the minimum number of machines required for achieving the desired production rate. Secondly, is the assign of jobs to multiple machines in order to minimize the cycle time which is defined as a maximum among the working times of machines when the number of machines is fixed. In this paper, we deal with the latter. We consider a PCB assembly line, including the multiple surface mounters arranged serially as a target system. Also, the conveyor is assumed to move at a constant speed and have no buffer. Considering that the minimum number of machines required for the desired production rate is a discrete nonincreasing function which is inversely proportional to the cycle time, we propose an optimization algorithm for line balancing by using the binary search method. The algorithm is validated through computer simulation, the results of which show that their shapes coincide nearly with those of optimal line balancing efficiency graphs regardless of the number of components, the performance of surface mounters, and the structure of assembly line.

In this paper, we discuss how to design 2-wheeled mobile robot hard wares as reasonable and practical as possible. A segway type mobile robot consists of 2 wheels only, placed in parallel rather than horizon. 2-wheeled mobile robots make you overcome high cost and time consuming maintenance procedures of the robot by reducing the number of robot hardwares. The most challenging thing in a 2-wheeled mobile robot that has many more valid virtues than the traditional mobile robots is to make it balance itself whenever it stands still or goes forward. But balancing itself is not an easy matter and there are many researches and experiments on this issue. When researchers test theories on 2-wheeled mobile robots to improve its self balancing performance, they should consider how to design hard wares of that mobile robot. No matter how great those new theories are, if a testbed for those theories is not suitable, performance output would be poor and meaningless. In this point of view, to design a proper 2-wheeled mobile robot as a testbed is a very important issue with development of new theories. So we define 4 guide lines to design segway type mobile robots reasonably; about motor, battery, and MCU selection and shock-proof design with robust motor setting.

A mini turbo-pump having 44mm diameter impeller for hydraulic power control have been tested to evaluate hydraulic performance and losses. The characteristics of the losses such as mechanical, friction, balancing rib losses were investigated. The investigation revealed that the friction loss is relatively large but the balancing rib loss small. It was found that the hydraulic efficiency of the pump at design point is very low($27\%$) due to low specific speed and large friction losses. A computational fluid dynamics(CFD) method also has been utilized for performance prediction of the mini turbo-pump to compare the computed results with the test data.

The Self Healing Ring (SHR) is one of the most Intriguing schemes which provide survivability for telecommunication networks. To design a cost effective SONET ring it is necessary to consider load balancing problems by which the link capacity is determined. The load balancing problem in SONET ring when demand splitting is not allowed is considered in this paper. An efficient algorithm is presented which provides the best solution starting from various Initial solutions. The initial solution is obtained by routing ell demands such that no demands pass through an are In the ring. The proposed algorithm iteratively improves the Initial solution by examining each demand and selecting the maximum load are in its path. The demand whose maximum arc load is biggest is selected to be routed in opposite direction. Computational results show that the proposed algorithm is excellent both in the solution quality and in the computational time requirement. The average error bound of the algorithm is 0.11% of the optimum and compared to dual-ascent approach which has good computational results than other heuristics.
