This paper deals with an analysis and countermeasure for improving the shock performance of laptop computers. The shock analysis is carried out by using the commercial program of LS-DYNA3D. Also the analysis is verified by the measurements from modal tests and shock tests. The available countermeasures are investigated theoretically and experimentally to find the effective methods of reducing the shock acceleration on hard disk driver during one side fall test. The hard disk drive is the most sensitive part in a laptop computer. This research shows the effects of the spring constant of rubber pad, the reinforcement of mechanical parts and the location of a hard disk driver, on the shock reduction.

Changes in breathing pattern and apnea both can be !he result of sleep disorders. The focus of this paper is to develop methodologies to monitor the breathing pattern and to detect apnea. An accurate recording of the respiratory phase can be carried out with different methods. One of these methods is the use of a thermocouple, which reacts to the variation in air temperature, placed in the nose and mouth of the patient. The K-type thermocouple was used because it has high reliability, thermo-stability, and good corrosion resistance. And also, it has a considerable long time constant that gives a low cut-off frequency, well below the respiratory frequency and thereby causing a large phase difference. The result showed that timing of respiration was accurately obtained with the AD595, amplifier for K-type thermocouple.

Simulators have been used to evaluate drivers'reactions to various transportation products. Most researches, however, have been concentrated on their technical performance, thus this paper considers drivers'senses of moving on a vehicle simulator through the analysis of human sensibility ergonomics. A sensibility ergonomic method is proposed in order to improve the faithfulness of vehicle simulators. A simulator of passenger vehicle consists of such three modules as vehicle dynamics, virtual environment, and motion representation modules. To evaluate drivers'feedback, human feelings are categorized into a set verbal expressions collected and investigated to find the most appropriate ones for translational and angular accelerations of the simulator The cutoff frequency of the washout alter ill the representation module is selected as one sensibility factor Sensibility experiments were carried out to find correlation between the expressions and the cut-off frequency of the filter. This study suggests a methodology to obtain an ergonomic database which can be applied to the sensibility evaluation of dynamic simulators.

This paper describes a series arc detection algorithm in a low-voltage wiring system. We designed and fabricated an arc detection circuit which consists of a high-pass filter with the low cut-off frequency of 170 kHz to attenuate power frequency. The series arcing phenomena was simulated by an arc generator specified in UL1699. In the experiment, various loads such as resistive loads, resistive loads controlled by a dimmer, and vacuum cleaners were used. Whether the signal is arc or noise is discriminated by pulse counts and periodicity of the detected signal.

In this paper, we dealt with a partial discharge (PD) measurement method that has been accepted as an effective and non-destructive technique to estimate insulation performance of low-voltage induction motors. The PD measurement system consists of a coupling network, a low noise amplifier, and associated electronics. A shielded box was used to reduce environmental noise. Frequency characteristic of the coupling network was estimated by a sinusoidal signal input, and the low cut-off frequency of the coupling network was 1 MHz (-3 dB). Also, we carried out a calibration test for the PD measurement system. Sensitivity of the system was of 84 m$V_{max}$/pC between stator winding and enclosure. In application test on a low-voltage three phase induction motor (5 HP), we could detect 88 pC at AC 800 $V_{max}$.

In this paper, EMI measurement, the STGU simulation being conducted, filter design, its characteristics, and its implementation to the PCB, and finally test results are discussed. When the low pass filter was implemented within the STGU, the power of EMI decreased more than 20dBm. Finally, when TE and MTIE, two important quality measure in synchronous reference clock, was assessed, ITU-T G813 requirement was satisfied. EMI(Electromagnetic Interface) is a measure of electomagnetic radiation from equipment in the range of 10KHz to 3GHz, and can cause unexpected reactions of electronics/electrical equipment. In this study, for safe and stable communication operation, a STGU (System Timing Generation Unit), which is a 2.5G SDH System and a major EMI source, was employed to simulate electromagnetic interface. Using Open-Site test, the power of fundamental frequency of EMI of interest and its harmonics were measured. Also, a low pass filter at cut-off frequency of 2GHz was specifically designed for this study to minimize the effect of EMI between electronic components.

A design of 5th-order Elliptic OTA-C filter for operation at 4.2MHz is presented. the filter structure is composed entirely of five OTAs(Operational transoonductance Amplifiers), one buffer and seven capacitors. To prevent decreasing of frequency charaoteristios due to the parasitic effeots of OTA and buffer, the design considering of parasitic capacitance and finite resistane of OTA and fuffer is pertormed. As the result of the simulation using SPICE with $2{\mu}m$ CMOS parameters, The performances were found to be essentially within the specifications` less than 0.25dB passband attenuation, 30dB stopband attenuation and 4.2MHz cut-off frequency were satisfactorily obtained. The number of elements is also considerably reduced than other design methods.

This paper was studied electromagnetic field distribution and damping of PD(Partial Discharge) signal in GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear). Cut-off frequency of electromagnetic wave propagation modes were computed, electromagnetic field distribution of propagation modes in GIS by FEM(Finite Element Method) were simulated and simulated damping characteristic of electromagnetic waves in GIS by EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) when generated PD pulse.

Equivalent circuit was used to simulate signal damping of PD pulse in GIS by EMTP and compared with measured results in laboratory of KERI.

In-process recognition of the cutting states is one of the very important technologies to increase the reliability of mordern machining process. In this study, practical methods which use the dynamic component of the cutting force are proposed to recognize cutting states (i.e. chip formation, tool wear, surface roughness) in turning process. The signal processing method developed in this study is efficient to measure the maximum amplitude of the dynamic component of cutting force which is closely related to the chip breaking (cut-off frequency : 80-500 Hz) and the approximately natural frequency of cutting tool (5, 000-8, 000 Hz). It can be clarified that the monitoring of the maximum apmlitude in the dynamic component of the cutting force enables the state of chip formation which chips can be easily hancled and the inferiority state of the machined surface to be recognized. The microcomputer in-process tool wear monitor- ing system introduced in this paper can detect the determination of the time to change cutting tool.
