To avoid imaging artifacts and interpretation mistakes, an improvement of the uniformity in gamma camera systems is a very important point. We can expect excellent uniformity using cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) photon counting detector (PCD) because of the direct conversion of the gamma rays energy into electrons. In addition, the uniformity performance such as integral uniformity (IU), differential uniformity (DU), scatter fraction (SF), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) varies according to the energy window setting. In this study, we compared a PCD and conventional scintillation detector with respect to the energy windows (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) using a $^{99m}Tc$ gamma source with a Geant4 Application for Tomography Emission simulation tool. The gamma camera systems used in this work are a CZT PCD and NaI(Tl) conventional scintillation detector with a 1-mm thickness. According to the results, although the IU and DU results were improved with the energy window, the SF and CNR results deteriorated with the energy window. In particular, the uniformity for the PCD was higher than that of the conventional scintillation detector in all cases. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that the uniformity of the CZT PCD was higher than that of the conventional scintillation detector.

In this paper, we represent the implementation and performance analysis of vector tracking loop based GPS receiver for jamming environment. The vector tracking loop navigation performance is compared by simulation with conventional tracking loop. The simulation results shows that vector tracking loop is more robust than conventional tracking loop in jamming environment. The vector tracking loop can gain 2dB in jamming performance capability over a conventional GPS receiver. Also, Anti-jamming performance of INS Doppler aiding and deep integration method are compared.

This paper proposes an automatic variable block truncation coding (BTC) method. It selects the block size automatically based on the mode of the discontinutiy measure of blocks. The combination of an automatic block-size determination scheme and the conventional BTC results in the proposed automatic variable BTC techniques. For color images, subsampling in I and Q chrominance components is adopted along with the variable BTC. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, its simulation results are compared to those of the several conventional BTC algorithms for monochrome and color test images. Computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithm gives better performance than the conventional ones based on the subjective and objective performance evaluation.

This paper presents speed control scheme of the PMSM which has torque compensator to reduce the speed error and ripple. The proposed speed controller is based on the conventional PI control scheme. But the additional torque compensator which is different to the conventional differential controller produces a compensation torque to suppress speed ripple. In order to determine the proper compensation, the activation function which has discrete value is used in the proposed control scheme. With the proposed activation function, the compensation torque acts to suppress the speed error increasing. The proposed speed control scheme is verified by the computer simulation and experiments of 400[W] PMSM. In the simulation and experiments, the proposed control scheme has better control performance compare than the conventional PI and PID control schemes.

This paper proposes the application of fuzzy control for high performance control of induction motor using electric vehicles. A fuzzy controller converts a set of liguistic rules based on expert knowledge into a automatic control strategy. Such controllers have often been found superior to conventional controllers especially when information being processed is inexact and uncertain. A system with fast torque response is very beneficial in applications where direct self control (DSC) is highly desirable. The response of DSC is slower during startup and during change in command torque. Fuzzy control is used for implementation of DSC to improve its slow response. Simulation implementation of the fuzzy logic controller was carried out to verify the behavior of the controller. The simulation results with fuzzy control are compared with those of the conventional DSC. The starting flux and torque response and the responses to the step changes in command torque with fuzzy implementation show a considerable improvement over the conventional control. The steady state responses in both the cases are the same.

In this paper backward extrusion process with lower die rotation was studied to improve the conventional backward extrusion problems ; requirement of large forming machine, the difficulty to selecting of die material caused by high surface pressure, high cost of forming machine caused by improvement of noise and vibration, and etc. In this experiment, model material, plasticine, was used of specimen. The result values of torsional and conventional backward extrusions were analyzed and compared. FE-simulation is used for analysis with DEFPRM-3D. These results show that the torsional backward extrusion is very useful process because this process can obtain the homogeneous deformation, low forming load. Decreasing forming load improves die life and makes it possible to use press of relatively low capacity. Also this process can reduce corner cavity, improve the initial cast-structure, owing to the high deformation and uniform starin distribution.

We propose an analysis model for simulating the detailed procedure of pore closing in open die forging of shafts. In the analysis model, an artificial symmetric plane is used, on which initial pores are located to be traced. The analysis model is employed to carry out three-dimensional simulation of pore closing in shaft free forging by both conventional free forging press and radial forging machine. With this result, two typical types of free forging equipment for manufacture of shafts are compared in detail. It has shown that the radial forging machine is much superior to the conventional open die forging press especially in pore closing under high hydrostatic pressure with sound strain.

This paper proposes a coordinative protection study results of 22.9kV HTS(High-Temperature Superconducting) cable implemented distribution system. HTS cable can provide about 5 times larger transfer capacability compare to conventional XLPE cable, however, it has different heat characteristic so called quench. This paper presents the simulation results on Ichun substation HTS cable which connects main transformer and 22.9kV bus. Various expected fault cases are considered and discussed to examine whether conventional protection scheme is effective to protect both of existing facilities and HTS cable. With the results of simulation, conventional protection scheme can be used if instantaneous element and time inverse elements could be adjusted with proper time coordination. Internal temperatures of HTS cable conductor in safe region with proper protection without quench. This results are to be demonstrated by the field test and will be implemented in Ichon substation HTS cable protection and control system.

Process sequence design in sheet metal forming process by the finite element method is investigated. The forming of sheet metal into a washing machine container is used to demonstrate the design of an improved process sequence which has fewer operations. The design procedure makes extensive use of the finite element method which has simulation capabilities of elastic-plastic modeling. A one-stage process to make an initial blank to the final product is simulated to obtain information on metal flow requirements. Loading simulation for a conventional method is also performed to evaluate the design criteria which are uniform thickness distribution around the finished part and maximum punch load within limit of available press capacity. The newly designed sequence has two forming operations and can achieve net-shape manufacturing, while the conventional process sequence has three forming operations. This specific case conventional process sequence has three forming operations. This specific case can be considered for application of the method and for development of the sequence design methodology in general.
