In this paper, a design method of the phase shift ZVS-PWM converter is proposed to minimize the volume and increase the efficiency. The trade-offs of switching frequency, efficiency vs volume and ZVS range vs efficiency is also presented. The simulation of the designed converter is performed using the P-SPICE in which a phase-shift controller is proposed. For minimization of the converter volume, switching frequency is selected 100kHz, a simple drive circuit and single auxiliary supply are applied. In consideration of efficiency and load condition, ZVS range is decided from 50% to full load. A 28V, 1Kwatt prototype converter, of which the switch is MOSFET is made, verified the performance.

In this paper, we introduce a frame structure of the satellite TDMA network and the synchronization method thereof. The primary station transmits a special burst called reference burst which provides reference time to network. By using this reference burst all nodes achieve initial acquisition and synchronization. We consider time drift due to the node and satellite mobility, time shift due to the node position, Doppler shift due to the node mobility and frequency offsets as important factors of the frame structure. Simulation results show that the proposed frame structure and synchronization method guarantee accurate synchronization performance when the node is even in low SNR as well as 25 kHz frequency offsets.

Spectrum analysis of surface electromyogram (FMG) signals is an effective approach to the study of localized muscular fatigue during isometric contraction. Many investigators have con firmed the frequency of the EMG signals being lowered during sustained contaction. In this study, the cyclic loading tasks were performed, and a comparison was made for the median power frequency shift pattern of the EMG signals with the sustained contraction of the same load. The median power frequency shift of the EMG signals for the cyclic loading task was found to be a part of that for the sustained contraction. Based on this result, a new muscle fatigue index was computed by normalizing the duration of the sustained contraction. A fatigue index was obtained as a function of exertion level and the work/rest schedule. With the proposed fatigue index, it is possible to evaluate or predict the degree of muscular fatigue for a physically demanding task.

An analytic expression for the intensity of collision-induced light scattering obstained by introducing both short-range and long-range effects on the induced anisotropy. By taking argon as a specific example, it is shown that a narrow band at small frequency shifts is caused by long-range effects, while a broad band in the far wing of the spectrum is due to short-range effects. The overall intensity is a synthesis of these two bands and does not follow a simple exponential form. As temperature increases, the intensity at large frequency shifts increases makedly, while at small frequency shifts it changes little.

The dynamic and sensing performances of nanomechanical resonators with their different boundary conditions are studied based on surface elasticity-based modeling and simulation. Specifically, the effect of surface stress is included in Euler-Bernoulli beam model for different boundary conditions. It is shown that the surface effect on the intrinsic elastic property of nanowire is independent of boundary conditions, while these boundary conditions affect the frequency behavior of nanowire resonator. The detection sensitivity of nanowire resonator is remarkably found to depend on the boundary conditions such that double-clamping boundary condition results in the higher mass sensitivity of the resonator in comparison with simple-support or cantilever boundary condition. Furthermore, we show that the frequency shift of nanowire resonator due to mass adsorption is determined by its length, whereas the frequency shift is almost independent of its thickness. This study enables a design principle providing an insight into how the dynamic and sensing performances of nanomechanical resonator is determined and tuned.

The IBC (Intra-Body Communication) benefits from a wireless communication system for exchanging various kinds of digital information through wearable electronic devices and sensors. The IBC using the human body as the transmission channel allows wireless communication without the transmitting radio frequency waves to the air. This paper discusses the results of experiments on electrostatic coupling IBC based on FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) and 1 bit error correction. We implemented FSK communication and 1 bit error correction algorithm using the MCU boards and aluminum tape electrodes. The transmitter modulates digital data using 50% duty square wave as carrier signal and transmits data through human body. The receiver performs ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) on carrier signal from human body. In order to figure out the frequency of carrier signal from ADC results, we applied zero-crossing algorithm which is used to detect the edge characteristic in computer vision. Experiment results shows that digital data modulated as square wave can be successfully transmitted through human body by applying the proposed architecture of a 1ch GPIO as a transmitter and 1ch ADC for as a receiver. Also, this paper proposes 1 bit error correction technique for reliable IBC. This technique performs error correction by utilizing the feature that carrier signal has 50% duty ratio. When 1 bit error correction technique is applied, the byte error rate at receiver side is improved around 3.5% compared to that not applied.

To date, there has been no employment of a magnetoelastic (ME) biosensor method to detect Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in soil. The ME biosensor method needs to be investigated and modified for its successful performance. The filtration method, cation-exchange resin method, and combinations of both methods were employed for the extraction of S. Typhimurium from soil. The number of S. Typhimurium and the resonant frequency shift of the ME sensor were then compared using a brilliant green sulfa agar plate and an HP 8751A network analyzer. A blocking study was performed using bovine serum albumin (BSA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and casein powder suspension. Finally, the modified ME biosensor method was performed to detect S. Typhimurium in soil. The number of S. Typhimurium was significantly decreased from 7.10 log CFU/soil to 4.45-4.72 log CFU/soil after introduction of the cation-exchange resin method. The greatest resonant frequency shift of the measurement sensor was found when employing centrifugation and filtration procedures. The resonant frequency shift of the PEG-blocked measurement sensor was $3,219{\pm}755Hz$, which was significantly greater than those of the BSA- and casein-blocked ME sensor. The optimum concentration of PEG was determined to be 1.0 mg/ml after considering the resonant shift and economic issue. Finally, the modified ME biosensor method was able to detect S. Typhimurium in soil in a dose-response manner. Although these modifications of the ME biosensor method sacrificed some advantages, such as cost, time effectiveness, and operator friendliness, this study demonstrated a novel approach of the ME biosensor method to detect S. Typhimurium in soil.

The purpose of this paper was to develop a nondestructive evaluation method of sintered material by ultrasonic method. The density distribution of sintered material becomes inhomogeneous partially because of the friction between the powder and the die during compaction. The inhomogeneity was investigated by measurement of the energy attenuation coefficient and the shift of the center frequency in the frequency spectrum of the ultrasonic reflection echo. The experimental results showed that the center frequency of reflection wave depended linearly on the density of sintered materials. However, the attenuation coefficient decreased inversely as the density increased. This study shows that the shift of the center frequency in the frequency spectrum of reflection wave can be used to a nondestructive evaluation of sintered materials.

In this paper, the LEO system signal degradation is mainly due to fading and doppler shift, so that the analysis of the signal degradation and compensation techniques are very important. This paper propose a Kalman filter based two step Automatic Frequency Control(AFC) to combat large and time variant frequency offset in low earth orbit satellite communication systems. The proposed Kalman AFC method estimates a frequency offset in two steps, I. e., coarse and fine estimations, extending the frequency acquisition range to even for than the symbol rate. Furthermore, it can track well a time variation of frequency offset. It is shown that the proposed compensator is able to compensate for doppler shift more than several KHz.
