  • This paper presents a technique to evaluate torque and speed characteristics of induction motor with the Dynamometer. The simple Dynamometer controlled via microcontroller and displayed by computer. The Microcontroller generates the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal and control the duty cycle of signal for control braking level. The Buck converter is a braking unit which uses IGBT as switch in circuit. The output current of the Buck converter and output voltage of tacho generator are converted to digital signals and analyzed by microcontroller. The signals are then sent to computer for displaying torque and speed responds independent on the braking time. The test results of the Dynamometer in this research can coreectly predict the torque and speed response under reasonable tests. Moreover, this Dynamometer is easy and inexpensive to make.

  • In this paper, an active magnetic bearing-based motor-generator(M-G) system is designed and controlled using a digital PID control concept. The plant dynamics consisting of actuator and rigid rotor dynamics are described. And some experiments are conducted with each global control and local control concept. From the whirl test, the M-G set can be controlled within about ${\pm}10{\mu}m$ gap variation at the rotational speed of 6000rpm.

  • This paper presents a new technique to generate the 1-bit signal by decoding Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal to a binary file before programming onto the ROM. Since each PWM signal requires only 1-bit digital signal, PWM signal and other forms of digital signal related to multi-bit can be simply generated. The results demonstrate that using this new technique to generate the PWM signal can simplify the process and hardware complication. Moreover, the signal's data and frequency can be easily modified by programming the data onto the ROM and using the counter, respectively, which can reduce the size of the circuit and make the PCB easier.

  • The most recent trend on digital hearing aid is to increase the ratio of signal to noise by directivity or to develop noise reduction algorithm inside DSP IC chip. This paper designed, fabricated and tested a digital hearing aid directivity testing device in which a micro-mouse-like the stepping motor with a speaker rotates around an examinant. Both ears of the examinant were fixed with ITE hearing aids in order to response to receiving sound. The diameter of the directivity testing device was 2 [m] and the micro-mouse was precisely controlled by PICBASIC micro processor.

  • This paper discusses the peg-in-hole task of chamferless parts using force/moment/vision sensors. The directional error occurring during the task are categorized into two cases according to the degree of initial errors, And different Mechanical analysis has been accomplished for each cases. This paper proposes an algorithm which enables to reduce intial directional error using digital Images acquired from hand-eyed vision sensor, And to continue the task even with the large directional error by adjusting the error using digital image processing. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been demonstrated through experimentation using 5-axis robot equipped with a developed controller force/moment sensor and color digital camera on its hand.

  • A power meter is an instrument for measuring in watts the power flowing in a electric equipment. Since the value which a conventional power meter measures is analog, the power meter is hard to determine a phase difference between the voltage and current for a inductive load. The phase difference causes a loss of electric power and a increase of power-line load. In this paper, we propose a digital power meter using TI's DSP(Digital Singnal Processor) TMS320C5x, which is employed to calculate the phase difference and more accurate power consumption.

  • Recently, a software program has been used in nuclear power plants (NPPs) to digitalize many instrumentation and control systems. To guarantee NPP safety, the reliability of the software used in safetycritical instrumentation and control systems must be quantified and verified with proper test cases and test environment. In this study, a software testing method using a simulation-based software test bed is proposed. The test bed is developed by emulating the microprocessor architecture of the programmable logic controller used in NPP safety-critical applications and capturing its behavior at each machine instruction. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated via a case study. To represent the possible states of software input and the internal variables that contribute to generating a dedicated safety signal, the software test cases are developed in consideration of the digital characteristics of the target system and the plant dynamics. The method provides a practical way to conduct exhaustive software testing, which can prove the software to be error free and minimize the uncertainty in software reliability quantification. Compared with existing testing methods, it can effectively reduce the software testing effort by emulating the programmable logic controller behavior at the machine level.

  • The need for digital devices is increasing in the digital age. In general, noise in images occurs during the process of compression, recognition and processing due to many reasons. Some of the filters used to remove salt and pepper noise include SMF, CWMF and AMF. In areas where the noise density is high, the removal of noise is undermined. This paper suggests an adjusted median filter algorithm that preserves the non-noise pixels while transforming the noise pixels to more effectively remove salt and pepper noise.

  • As the society has developed into a digital information age society, a lot of electronic communication equipments are popularized. However, there are various causes of noise during signal transmission between communication devices. The noise generated in the communication system is a white noise that is distributed evenly in all frequency bands. This white noise causes system errors and lowers reliability. Therefore, in this paper, the existing Gaussian filter, Median filter, Alpha trimmed mean filter, and min/max filter for removing white noise are described and the characteristics and performance of each filter are compared with each other.

  • In the digital information age, image processing is essential for various digital devices such as smart phones, cameras, and TVs. However, degradation occurs in analyzing, recognizing, and processing image data, and salt & pepper noise occurs. Therefore, in this paper, we applied linear interpolation method, newton interpolation method, lagrange interpolation method, and spline interpolation method to the image damaged by salt & pepper noise in order to find more effective interpolation method in salt & pepper noise environment, The methods were compared using the PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio).
