Static inverters are essential devices onboard of rolling stock. State-of-the-art static inverters have an impact on both rail infrastructure and vehicle maintenance due to their new topology with new features. The paper describes two important aspects as examples of new features available in state-of-the-art static inverters: active input current control and the effects on the rail infrastructure as well as the detection of the state of charge and the state of health of batteries to simplify vehicle maintenance.

Input Current Correction of Single-Phase Buck Rectifier is studied in the paper. To sinusoidal waveform the input current with a near-unity power factor over a wide variety of operating conditions, the output capacitor is operated with voltage reversibility for the supply by arranging the auxiliary diode and power switching device. Then the output voltage is superposed on the input voltage during on time duration of power switching devices in order to minimize the input current distortion caused by the small input voltage when changing the polarity. The tested setup, using two insulated-gate bipolar transistors(IGBT) and a microcomputer, is implemented and IGBT are switched with 20[kHz], which is out of the audible band. Moreover, a rigorous state-space analysis is introduced to predict the operation of the rectifier. The simulated results confirm that the input current can be sinusoidal waveform with a near-unity power factor and a satisfactory output voltage regulation can be achieved.

In VEs (virtual environments) such as a CAVE system, there are three important operations : executive command decision, object selection and 3-D (three-dimensional) pointing. It is necessary to implement these operations in VEs intuitively and accessibly. In CAVE, it is possible for examines to walk and change their viewpoints freely. Then, the input devices which have excellent portability and rich expression are desired. Speech input satisfies both requirements. It is, however, very difficult for the speech input to indicate an exact point in 3-D space. Therefore, an extendable virtual stick is employed and it supports speech input. This paper proposes a user friendly interface using speech and a virtual stick in CAVE system. In this paper, several applications appropriate for the proposed interface are developed. Some problems are pointed out from the applications.

The needs of 3-D data have been increasing for various applications like visualization, 3-D modeling, planning and management as well as entertainment. Mobile mapping has become a quick and practical means for acquiring necessary 3-D data for above-mentioned applications. A mobile mapping system mainly consists of two main components, viz. data acquisition devices and positioning devices. The data acquisition devices consist of CCD cameras or/and laser scanners. The positioning devices consist of GPS, INS, Odometer (shaft encoder) and some other referencing devices. The overall accuracy of mobile mapping system depends on the accuracy of positioning devices and their integrated output. Though, GPS is the main input device for the position information, the signal is not available for the computation of position all the times in urban area. The GPS satellites are normally obstructed by high-rise buildings. Thus it is very important to understand the accuracy of such a system in different environments and means to solve such problems. We have developed a mobile mapping system called VLMS (Vehicle-borne Laser Mapping System), which consists of CCD Cameras, Laser scanners, GPS, INS and Odometer. In this paper, we will present and discuss the accuracy of this system with data acquired in different environments (open area, urban area, tunnel, express way etc) by analyzing the data with respect to other existing digital data.

Recently, the demand has continued to increase for higher data rates and improved multimedia services through wireless internet access. In order to increase the data rate and link reliability, 3GPP LTE/A and IEEE 802.16e/m WiMAX systems incorporate MIMO transmission schemes. Since the hardware complexity increases with the number of transmit data streams and mobile devices have limited physical dimensions, an multiple input multiple output (MIMO) ystem with two antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver ($2{\times}2$) is considered to be a possible solution for mobile devices. In this paper, a low-complexity soft output MIMO symbol detector based on Modified-SQRD is proposed for mobile devices with two transmit and two receive antennas.

SW which controls IoT devices using wireless communication technology must operate without errors. In order for IoT devices to be widely used, the technical skills of engineers who design such software must be improved. Compared to designing the input / output SW of a single device, the SW Flowchart design and Java SW programming process that clearly define various input / output relations between the transmitter and the receiver are complicated. In this paper, we proposed a SW Flowchart design method for controlling IoT devices based on wireless communication. In this process, it is explained that the entire control algorithm is implemented through a problem division process. In addition, we proposed an educational method for programming the designed SW Flowchart into Java SW using Microbits, which are educational IoT devices. In the course to which this education method was applied, the results of satisfaction evaluation of students were analyzed, and the effectiveness of the IoT device control SW education method using Microbits was analyzed.

Various types of SW education are being operated by universities for non-major undergraduates. And most of them focus on educating computational thinking. Following this computing education, there is a need for an educational method that implements and evaluates creative computing outcomes for each student. In this paper, we propose a method to realize SW education based on creative computing artifacts. To do this, we propose an educational method for students to implement digital logic circuit devices creatively and design SW algorithms that implement the functions of their devices. The proposed training method teaches a simple LED logic circuit using an Arduino board as an example. Students creatively design and implement two pairs of two input logic circuit devices, and design algorithms that represent patterns of implemented devices in various forms. And they design the functional extension and extended algorithm using the input device. By applying the proposed method, non-major students can gain the concept and necessity of algorithm design through creative computing artifacts.

PDA(Personal Digital Assistants) and laptop computer that are small sized mobile implements are typical devices which capable of using wireless internet. They seem to have a tendency to possess multi-function as well as to miniaturize in accordance with taking advantage of today's digital convergence circumstance. It should be considered that the pointing input device of these mobile computer that have PDA size and laptop's performance has to be added to something very small instead of 4-button, 5-button navigator and with the electric pen. The basic framework for this study is to investigate the usability of the two input devices Trackpoint and Touchpad which regarded as a alternative pointing device for small sized mobile computer. 14 novice subjects compared a Trackpoint to a Touchpad across five curser-control tasks. The study found that subjects executed not more slowly with a Trackpoint input device than with the Touchpad. Observation shows that learning for Trackpoint appears to have had more than for the Touchpad. Subjects expressed preference for the Trackpoint in general work.

This paper discusses a stochastic stabilization of Takagi-Sugeno(TS) fuzzy system with Markovian input delay. The finite Markovian process is adopted to model the input delary of the overall control system. It is assumed that the zero and hold devices are used for control input. The continuous-time TS fuzzy system with the Markovian input delay is discretized for easy handling delay, according, the discretized TS fuzzy system is represented by a discrete-time TS fuzzy system with jumping parameters. The stochastic stabilizibility of the jump TS fuzzy system is derived and formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LNIS)
