A new technique for improving the efficiency of single-phase high-frequency boost converter is proposed. This converter includes an additional low-frequency boost converter which is connected to the main high-frequency switching device in parallel. The additional converter is controlled at lower frequency. Most of the current flows in the low-frequency switch and so, high-frequency switching loss is greatly reduced accordingly. Both switching device are controlled by a simple method; each controller consists of a comparator, a frequency generator and an error amplifier. The converter works cooperatively in high efficiency and acts as if it were a conventional high-frequency boost converter with one switching device, The proposed method is verified by simulation and experiment. This paper describes the converter configuration and design, and discusses the steady-state performance concerning the switching loss reduction and efficiency improvement.

Semiconductor gas sensor using tin oxide as sensing material has been used to detect gases based on the fact that impedance of the sensing material varies when the gas sensor is exposed to the gases. This variation comprises of two parts. The first one is variation in resistance of the sensing material and the other is expressed in terms of the sensor capacitance variation. Normally, only variation of the sensor resistance is considered. In this paper, using AC measurement with a capacitor-coupled inverting amplifier circuit, both changes in the sensor resistance and variations in the sensor capacitance were investigated. These characteristics were represented as magnitude gain and phase shift of AC signal at a specific frequency after passing it through the sensor and the designed circuit. A two-stage artificial neural network, which utilized the information above, was employed to identify and quantify three combustible gases: methane, propane and butane. The network outputs were approximately proportional to concentrations of test gases with reasonable level of error.

An H$_{\infty}$ control system design for a magnetic levitation system is presented. In the control system design, we consider the influence of both disturbances and uncertainties in the model. The main disturbances stem from the position sensors.The uncertainties are divided into electromagnetic and mechanical ones: the former are due to the gain change in the current amplifier, the influence of leakage flux and modelling error in the magnetic circuit and the latter are due to the changes of the mass and the moments of inertia of the vehicle. Therefore, the designed controller is indispensable to guarantee the robustness of this system for both stability and performance. The controller design is based on the standard H$_{\infty}$ optimal control problem. As the novel features in this paper :(1) there are two poles on j.omega.-axis in the control model;(2) an integrator is included in the controller so that equivalently there are three poles on j.omega.-axis in the model. Finally, several experiments and simulations are carried out to verify the high performance and robustness of the designed control system.m.

This paper dealt with the frequency spectrum analysis of acoustic signal produced by partial discharge (PD) in insulation oil and the positioning of PD occurrence to apply in diagnosis of oil insulated transformers. Three types of electrode system ; the needle-plane, the plane-plane, and the wire-wire structure were assembled to simulate partial discharges in oil insulated transformers. A low-noise amplifier and a decoupling circuit were designed to detect acoustic signal with high sensitivity The frequency spectrum of the acoustic signal were 50 kHz ${\sim}$ 260 kHz in the needle-plane, 50 kHz ${\sim}$ 250 kHz in the plane-plane, and 45 kHz${\sim}$195 kHz in the wire-wire electrode system. Their peak frequencies were 145 kHz, 130 kHz and 114 kHz, respectively The position of PD occurrence was calculated by the time difference of arrival (TOA) using three acoustic emission (AE) sensors, and we could find the position within the error of 1 % in the experimental apparatus.

An electro-hydraulic copying system is developed and its performance is experimentally investigated. As compared with a mechanical hydraulic coping system, this system has a basic difference in that; (1) the stylus movement is converted into an electrical signal via a position transducer. (2)the actuator displacement is also measured by a position sensing element, which serves as a feedback signal. Since the system parameters affect the control performance, the response characteristics such as percentage overshoot, rise time, settling time and steady state error are experimentally obtained under variation of these variables. The system parameter include supply pressure, servo amplifier gain and feedback gain. The experimental result shows that the cutting tool follows a stylus input motion to a desirable accuracy. The implication of this result indicates that the developed system can enhance the copying accuracy of the conventionally used mechanical type of hydraulic copying system.

In this paper present a Low Drop-Out(LDO) regulator that improves load transient characteristics due to the push-pull pass transistor structure is proposed. Improved load over the existing LDO regulator by improving the overshoot and undershoot entering the voltage line by adding the proposed push-pull circuit between the output stage of the error amplifier inside the LDO regulator and the gate stage of the pass transistor and the push-pull circuit at the output stage. It has a delta voltage value of transient characteristics. The proposed LDO structure was analyzed in Samsung 0.13um process using Cadence's Virtuoso, Spectre simulator.

We demonstrate a repeatless transmission of 2.5 Gbps digital signal over 98 km opticla filbers using optical transmitter and optcial receiver which are designed and implemented using commercially available devices. The optical transmitter is realized by using a distributed feedback(DFB) laser. Temperature of the laser is thermoelectrically stabilized and the output optical power is also stabilized by using negative feedback. The output power of the transmitter is 0 dBm. The optical receiver consists of an InGaAs avalanche photodiode, a preamplifier. an automatic gain control amplifier, and a clock/data regenerator. We find an optimum decision threshold that gives the best receiver sensitivity form the measured V curve. The best sensitivity is -35.5dBm( BER-1*10S010T, PRBS=2S023T -1 ) and the overload power is -9 dBm. Finally, we achieve error free optical transmission with 98 km optical fibers. The exinction ration penalty of 2 dB. the chromatic dispersion penalty of 1 dB, and the total power penalty of 3.0 dB are measured. These results satisfy CCITT recommendation.

In this paper, an integrated low-voltage control circuit is introduced for a charge pump DC-DC boost converter. By exploiting the advantage of the integration of the feedback control circuit within CMOS technology, the charge pump boost converter offers a low-current operation with small ripple voltage. The error amplifier, comparator, and oscillator in the control circuit are designed with the supply voltage of 3.3 V and the operating frequency of 1.6~5.5 MHz. The charge pump converter with the 4 or 8 pump stages is measured in simulation. The test in the $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process shows that the load current and ripple ratio are controlled under 1 mA and 2% respectively. The output-voltage is obtained from 4.8 ~ 8.5 V with the supply voltage of 3.3 V.
