An indirect matrix converter (IMC) is a modern power generation system that enables a direct ac/ac conversion without the need for any bulky and limited lifetime electrolytic capacitor. This system also allows four-quadrant operation, generation of sinusoidal output voltage waveforms with variable frequency and amplitude, and control of input power factor. This study proposes a pulse-width modulation-based sliding-mode controller to achieve unity input-power factor operation of the IMC independently of the active power exchanged with the grid, as well as a fast dynamic response. The designed equivalent control law determines, at each sampling period, the appropriate q-axis component of the modulated input current to be injected into the grid through the LC input filter. An integral term of the error is included in the expression of the sliding surface to increase the accuracy of the control method. A double space vector modulation method is used to synthesize the direction of the space vector of the input currents as required by the sliding-mode controller and the space vectors of the target output voltages. Simulation and experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness and evaluate the performance of the proposed control method.

본 논문에서는 스프레딩된 SiC 섬유를 적용해 SiC_f/SiC를 제조하였을 경우, 섬유의 분산도가 복합소재의 내부구조 및 기계적 강도에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 연구하였다. Spread SiC 섬유를 적용한 시편의 섬유 체적비는 non-spread 시편 대비 9%p 감소하였으며, 수지 슬러리가 섬유 사이로 더 원활히 함침되어 기지내 기공도 거의 발견되지 않았다. 각 시편의 섬유 분산도를 비교하기 위해, 복합소재 내 섬유간 이격거리를 수치화하고 평가하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그 결과 spread 시편의 섬유간 중심거리는 non-spread 시편 대비 2.23 ㎛ 증가하였으며, 섬유 표면 사이 거리는 42.6%로 대폭 증가하였다. 3점 굽힘시험을 통해 spread 시편의 굽힘강도가 non-spread 시편 대비 49.3% 가량 높으며, 시험 데이터의 편차도 더 균일함을 확인하였다. 따라서 복합소재 기지내 SiC 섬유의 분산도 향상이 SiC_f/SiC의 균일한 기지상 치밀화와 기계적 강도 증가에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다는 점을 알 수 있다.

This paper describes several approaches to transform a speaker's individuality to another's individuality using frequency warping between bilingual formant frequencies on different language environments. The proposed methods are simple and intuitive voice conversion algorithms that do not use training data between different languages. The approaches find the warping function from source speaker's frequency to target speaker's frequency on formant space. The formant space comprises four representative monophthongs for each language. The warping functions can be represented by piecewise linear equations, inverse matrix. The used features are pure frequency components including magnitudes, phases, and line spectral frequencies (LSF). The experiments show that the LSF-based voice conversion methods give better performance than other methods.

A novel predictive current control strategy for a sparse matrix converter is presented. The sparse matrix converter is functionally-equivalent to the direct matrix converter but has a reduced number of switches. The predictive current control uses a model of the system to predict the future value of the load current and generates the reference voltage vector that minimizes a given cost function so that space vector modulation is achieved. The results show that the proposed controller for sparse matrix converters controls the load current very effectively and performs very well through simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, pulse-width modulation (PWM) control strategy of various topologies of matrix converters is presented, which is based on direct duty ratio PWM (DDPWM). Because the DDPWM method has the characteristics of the inherent per-phase modular structure, it can be effectively applied to single-phase, two-phase and three-phase four-leg matrix converters as well as the common three-phase to three-phase matrix converter. Also, this paper treats command generation method in each matrix converter. The feasibility and validity of the proposed method are verified by experimental results.

현재까지의 관측교통량기반 수요추정법은 단일차종(singleclass)기반 연구가 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 현실 교통망에서는 여러 차종이 혼재되어 교통수요나 흐름을 만든다. 즉, 기존의 관측교통량기반 수요추정법은 PCE(Passenger Car Equivalent) 환산을 통한 여러 개의 차종O/D 및 관측교통량을 승용차 단위로 전환하여 하나의 O/D 및 관측교통량으로 만들어 O/D를 추정하고, 최초의 PCE환산이전 차종별 O/D의 고정비율과 관측교통량 고정비율로 곱해 차종별 O/D 및 관측교통량으로 나누어 분석하는 것이 일반적인 방법이었다. 즉, 다차종기반분석법은 각각의 차종별 O/D에 대한 노선선택비율을 각각 계산하고, 그에 따른 목적함수 감소방향인 gradient를 또한 각각 계산하여 차종별 추정력을 극대화하는 것이 그 장점이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 단일차종기반추정법을 다차종기반추정법으로 확장하여 차종간 혼잡을 고려한 보다 현실적인 수요추정기법을 마련하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이라고 하겠다.

This paper presents an algorithm applied to measure scattering parameters of a Multiport device with a 2-port Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). By employing the conversion of Scattering matrix with different reference impedances at ports, data obtained from 2-port configuration measurements can be synthesized to build the full scattering matrix of this device. A good agreement of estimated and measured parameters verified the performance of the algorithm.

A continuous fermentation system employing immobilized cells of Zymomonas mobilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied for the mass production of ethanol. Ethanol production by cells immobilized with Ca-alginate was better than those by cells immobilized with K-carrageenan. Maximum ethanol production employing a continuous system by cells immobilized with Ca-alginate was 77.5 $g.l^{-1}h^{-1}$ at a dilution rate of 1.85 $h^{-1}$ with 82% conversion rate for Z. mobilis while that was 40.2 $g.l^{-1}h^{-1}$ at a dilution rate of 0.92 $h^{-1}$ with 85% conversion rate for S. cerevisiae. These results suggest that Ca-alginate is a better cell immobilization matrix than K-carrageenan and that immobilized cells of Z. mobilis are more efficient than S. cerevisiae for ethanol production.

Physical properties of composite resins such as strength, resistance to wear, discoloration, etc, depend on the degree of conversion of the resin components. The clinical behavior of restorative resins varies brand to brand. Part of this variation is associated with the filler and differences in the polymer matrix. The polymer matrix of resins may differ because the involved monomers are dissimilar and because of variation in the catalyst system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion of the composite resins according to the depth of cure and light curing time. 7mm diameter cylindrical aluminum molds were filled with each of five different hybrid light curing composite resins(Z-100, Charisma, Herculite XRV, Prisma TPH, Veridonfil) on the thin resin films. The molds were 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm in depth to produce resin films of various heights. Each sample was given 20sec, 40sec, and 60sec illumination with a light source. The degree of conversion of carbon double bonds to single bonds in the resin films was examined by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer. The results were obtained as follows; 1. There was difference in the degree of conversion among five light curing composite resins according to the depth of cure for 20sec, 40sec, and 60sec illumination with light source with statistical significance(P<0.05). 2. Five light curing composite resins show lower degree of conversion at surface of the resin than depth of 1mm. 3. The degree of conversion of five light curing composite resins was siginificantly reduced from the maximum for the resin film when the light passed through as little as 1mm of each composite. 4. The degree of conversion of five light curing composite resins decrease significantly at the depth of 4mm, and polymerization was not occured at the depth of 5mm except for Prisma TPH. 5. The degree of conversion of five light curing composite resins was increased with increased light curing time, and there was no significant differences in the degree of conversion above 4mm in Z-100, 3mm in Charisma, and at depth of 5mm in Herculite XRV and Veridonfil(P>0.05).
