The objectives of this research are development of guidance, navigation and control system for RUAV on virtual instrumentation and real flight test. For this research, the system is divided to DAQ (data acquisition) section, actuator section and controller section. And the hardware and software on each sections are realized on LabVIEW base. Waypoint guidance and control of auto flight are realized using PID gain tuning and waypoint vector tracking guidance algorism. For safe flight test, auto/manual switching module isolated from FCS (Flight Control System) is developed. By using the switch module, swift mode change was achieved during emergency flight case. Consequently, a meter level error of flight performance is achieved.

최근 VHDL 코딩 및 합성방법에 의한 설계가 널리 사용되고 있다. 집적도가 증가함에 따라 VHDL에 의한 설계 또한 그 분량이 증가하여 많은 코딩오류가 발생하고 있으며, 이를 검색하는데 많은 시간과 노력이 소요되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 VHDL 행위-레벨 설계를 대상으로 코딩오류를 검색하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그 방법에 있어서는 검색패턴을 생성하여 오류가 없는 응답과 설계의 응답을 비교함으로써 설계오류를 찾는 방법을 택하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 코딩오류를 검색하기 위한 검색패턴을 생성하는 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 검색패턴 생성은 각 코드에 대해 수행하며, 할당오류와 조건오류를 구분하여 수행하였다. 패턴생성을 위해 VHDL 코드를 CDFG로 변환하여 사용하며, CDFG상의 경로를 탐색하여 패턴생성에 필요한 정보를 추출한다. 경로탐색은 오류가 발생하였다고 가정한 지점으로부터 역방향 탐색과 정방향 탐색을 수행하여 패턴을 생성한다. 제안한 알고리듬은 C-언어로 구현하였다. 펜티엄-Ⅱ 400MHz의 환경에서 여러 가지 VHDL 행위-레벨 설계를 대상으로 제안한 알고리듬을 적용하였다. 그 결과, 고려한 모든 설계의 모든 코드에 대한 검색패턴을 생성할 수 있었으며, 가정한 모든 오류를 검색할 수 있었다. 검색패턴 생성에 소요되는 시간은 고려한 모든 대상 설계에서 1초 미만의 CPU 시간을 보여 속도면에서도 매우 우수함을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안한 검색방법은 VHDL에 의한 설계에서 설계검증에 필요한 시간과 노력을 상당히 감소시킬 것으로 기대된다.

Background: Treatment planning the correction of a transverse maxillary occlusal plane cant often involves a degree of qualitative "eyeballing", with the attendant possibility of error in the estimated judgement. A simple chair side technique permits quantification of the extent of asymmetry and thereby quantitative measurements for the correction of the occlusal plane cant. Methods: A measuring instrument may be constructed by soldering the edge of a stainless steel dental ruler at 90° to the flat surface of a similar ruler. With the patient either standing in natural head position, or alternatively seated upright in the dental chair, and a dental photographic retractor in situ, the flat under-surface of the horizontal part of this measuring instrument is placed on a unilateral segment of a bilateral structure, e.g. the higher maxillary canine orthodontic bracket hook. The vertical ruler is held next to the contralateral canine tooth, and the vertical distance measured directly from the canine bracket to the flat under-surface of the horizontal part of the measuring instrument. Results: This vertical distance quantifies the overall extent of movement required to level the maxillary occlusal plane. Conclusions: This measuring instrument and simple chair side technique helps to quantify the overall extent of surgical levelling required and may be a useful additional technique in our clinical diagnostic armamentarium.

A new design of RF automatic gain control amplifier with low phase shift attenuator is proposed. By using the RF AGC amplifier, the output level of amplifier becomes to be constant. The error is 0.1dB. In addition, for arbitrary RF input power, it is possible to design the gain of amplifier to be fixed. If the constant gain is maintained, it is more reliable to make wanted IMD(Intermodulation Distortion) characteeristic amplifier.

In this paper, we propose a threshold estimation algorithm for a noncoherent IR-UWB receiver using 1-bit sampler. The proposed method reduces the hardware complexity by using the information of binary data resulted from 1-bit sampler instead of measuring the energy level of a received signal. Besides, mathematical modeling shows that the performances are similar to those of theoretically optimal threshold in terms of bit error rate. Computer simulations based on the IEEE 802.15.4a channel model also demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Wind speed is the most important parameter in the design and study of wind energy conversion systems. The weibull distribution is commonly used for wind energy analysis as it can represent the wind variations with an acceptable level of accuracy. In this study, the wind data for 11 cities in Iran have been analysed over a period of one year. The Goodness of fit test is used for testing data fit to weibull distribution. The results show that this data fit to weibull function very well. The scale and shape factors are two parameters of the weibull distribution that depend on the area under study. The kinds of numerical methods commonly used for estimating weibull parameters are reviewed. Their performance for the cities under study was compared according to root mean square and wind energy errors. The result of the study reveals the empirical, modified maximum likelihood estimate of wind speed with minimum error. Also, that the moment and modified maximum likelihood are the best methods for estimating the energy production of wind turbines.

WiFi Direct (WD) is a state of the art technology for a Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in 802.11 networks. The performance of the WD system can be significantly affected by some key factors such as the type of application, specifications of MAC and PHY layer parameters, and surrounding environment etc. It is, therefore, important to develop a system model that takes these factors into account. In this paper, we focus on investigating the design parameters of the PHY layer that could maximize the efficiency of the WD 802.11 system. For this purpose, a basic theoretical model is formulated for a WD network under a 2x2 Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) TGn channel B model. The design level parameters such as input symbol rate and antenna spacing, as well as the effects of the environment, are thoroughly examined in terms of path gain, spectral density, outage probability and Packet Error Rate (PER). Thereafter, a novel adaptive algorithm is proposed to choose optimal parameters in accordance with the Quality of Experience (QoE) for a targeted application. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the standard method thereby achieving an optimal performance in an adaptive manner.

The recently-released camera modules assembled into high-end handsets generally carry auto focusing function. The resolution size of the camera modules is getting higher, and customers demand more precise and stable auto focusing function. When auto focusing function is getting performed, the camera modules applied to VCM usually have the problems, which are an error of lens focusing position and resolution deviation according to the shift of one's position. For this reason, I propose Hybrid VCM that has an improved structure for a stable work of actuator and higher resolution level.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of different implant computer software on the accuracy of image registration between radiographic and optical scan data. Materials and Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography and optical scan data of a partially edentulous jaw were collected and transferred to three different computer softwares: Blue Sky Plan (Blue Sky Bio), Implant Studio (3M Shape), and Geomagic DesignX (3D systems). In each software, the two image sets were aligned using a point-based automatic image registration algorithm. Image matching error was evaluated by measuring the linear discrepancies between the two images at the anterior and posterior area in the direction of the x-, y-, and z-axes. Kruskal-Wallis test and a post hoc Mann-Whitney U-test with Bonferroni correction were used for statistical analyses. The significance level was set at 0.05. Result: Overall discrepancy values ranged from 0.08 to 0.30 ㎛. The image registration accuracy among the software was significantly different in the x- and z-axes (P=0.009 and <0.001, respectively), but not different in the y-axis (P=0.064). Conclusion: The image registration accuracy performed by a point-based automatic image matching could be different depending on the computer software used.

This paper presents a current mode integrated control technique (CM-ICT) using a modified voltage space vector modulation (MSVM) for Z-source inverter (ZSI) fed induction motor drives. MSVM provides a better DC voltage boost in the dc-link, a wide range of AC output voltage controllability and a better line harmonic profile. In a voltage mode ICT (VM-ICT), the outer voltage feedback loop alone is designed and it enforces the desired line voltage to the motor drive. An integrated control technique (ICT), with an inner current feedback loop is proposed in this paper for the purpose of line current limiting and soft operation of the drive. The current command generated by the PI controller and limiter in the outer voltage feedback loop, is compared with the actual line current, and the error is processed through the PI controller and a limiter. This limiter ensures that, the voltage control signal to the Z-source inverter is constrained to a safe level. The rise and fall of the control signal voltage are made to be gradual, so as to protect the induction motor drive and the Z-source inverter from transients. The single stage controller arrangement of the proposed CM-ICT offers easier compensation. Analysis, Matlab/Simulink simulations, and experimental results have been presented to validate the proposed technique.
