A simulation study of a current-mode direct current (DC)-DC boost converter is presented in this paper. This converter, with a fully-integrated power module, is implemented by using bipolar complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology. The current-sensing circuit has an op-amp to achieve high accuracy. With the sense metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) in the current sensor, the sensed inductor current with the internal ramp signal can be used for feedback control. In addition, BiCMOS technology is applied to the converter, for accurate current sensing and low power consumption. The DC-DC converter is designed with a standard 0.35 ${\mu}m$ BiCMOS process. The off-chip inductor-capacitor (LC) filter is operated with an inductance of 1 mH and a capacitance of 12.5 nF. Simulation results show the high performance of the current-sensing circuit and the validity of the BiCMOS converter. The output voltage is found to be 4.1 V with a ripple ratio of 1.5% at the duty ratio of 0.3. The sensing current is measured to be within 1 mA and follows to fit the order of the aspect ratio, between sensing and power FET.

현재 기존에 상용화 되어 있는 LED 조명기기의 경우, LED 동작 시퀀스가 고정이 되어 있는 상태로 판매되고 있다. 이와 같은 상태로는 외부 환경 요인이 고려되지 않고 오직 장소에만 적용되는 조명 환경 용도로서의 기능만을 수행한다. 현재는 선박 내 외부 환경 요인의 변화에 따른 최적의 조명 환경 조성이 어렵게 되어있다. 그러므로 외부 환경 요인의 변화에 좀 더 유기적이고 능동적으로 적응할 수 있도록 외부 환경 값을 입력받아 실시간으로 최적 조명 값이 반영될 수 있도록 해야 될 필요성이 있다는 결론을 얻게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로프로세서를 선박 통합관리 시스템으로 활용하여 기존의 외부 환경 요인에 의하여 실시간으로 변동되는 환경 데이터를 다루며, 외부 환경요인을 확인하고 또한 퍼지 추론 시스템을 접목하여 RGB LED 모듈 조명 제어가 가능한 제어기를 구성하였다. 이를 위하여 퍼지 제어 알고리즘을 설계하고, 퍼지 제어 시스템을 구성하였다. 외부 환경 요소인 피사체와의 거리, 조도 값을 센서로 통해 입력 받고 이 값들을 퍼지 제어 알고리즘을 통하여 최적 조명 값으로 변환하여 RGB LED 모듈 조광 제어를 통하여 표현하고 퍼지 제어 시스템의 실질적인 효능을 확인하였다.

The ventricular assist device(VAD) helps to reduce the overload against the patient's native heart(NH). The pulsatile VAD pumps out the ventricular blood to the aorta with pulsatile flow. If the VAD pulsates simultaneously with the NH, the ventricle of the NH could confronts abnormally elevated aortic pressure, and this could deteriorate the ventricle rather than assist to recover it. Thus counterpulsation algorithms to avoid copulsation have been adopted by many VADs, but these methods utilize electrocardiography or arterial pressure signals, which may have difficulties to acquire consistently for a long period. In this study, the copulsation estimation algorithm for the counterpulsation is developed using the VAD outlet pressure signal. The VAD outlet pressure signal is good to maintain for a long time and the sensor part could be integrated to the VAD as a built-in module. From the VAD outlet pressure signal and its pump rate information calculated with Fast Fourier Transform, pulse peaks by the VAD and the NH were extracted and the next copulsation time at which the VAD and the NH would pulsate simultaneously was estimated. This estimation algorithm was implemented by using PC MATLAB software and tested for various pump rate conditions with mock circulation system. For each condition, the copulsation time was estimated successfully. Consequently, the results showed the possibility to use the outlet cannula pressure signal in the copulsation estimation.

Induction motors are a critical component of many industrial processes and are frequently integrated in commercially available equipment. Safety, reliability, efficiency, and performance are some of the major concerns of induction motor applications. Preventive maintenance of induction motors has been a topic great interest to industry because of their wide range application of industry. Since the use of mechanical sensors, such as vibration probes, strain gauges, and accelerometers is often impractical, the motor current signature analysis (MACA) techniques have gained murk popularity as diagnostic tool. Fault tolerant control (FTC) strives to make the system stable and retain acceptable performance under the system faults. All present FTC method can be classified into two groups. The first group is based on fault detection and diagnostics (FDD). The second group is independent of FDD and includes methods such as integrity control, reliable stabilization and simultaneous stabilization. This paper presents the fundamental FDD-based FTC methods, which are capable of on-line detection and diagnose of the induction motors. Therefore, our group has developed the embedded distributed fault tolerant and fault diagnosis system for industrial motor. This paper presents its architecture. These mechanisms are based on two 32-bit DSPs and each TMS320F2407 DSP module is checking stator current, voltage, temperatures, vibration and speed of the motor. The DSPs share information from each sensor or DSP through DPRAM with hardware implemented semaphore. And it communicates the motor status through field bus (CAN, RS485). From the designed system, we get primitive sensors data for the case of normal condition and two abnormal conditions of 3 phase induction motor control system is implemented. This paper is the first step to drive multi-motors with serial communication which can satisfy the real time operation using CAN protocol.

수중통신은 지상통신에 비하여 통신채널의 강건성과 고속데이터 전송 측면에서 상당한 제약 요인을 가지고 있다. 공기 중에서 RF 통신은 장거리 전송에도 높은 데이터 전송률을 보이지만, 수중에서는 매질의 전도특성으로 인하여 전파에너지의 심각한 감쇠현상이 발생하여 통신이 어려운 실정이다. 현재 수중에서 수 십 킬로미터 이상의 장거리 통신이 가능한 음향파 통신 모뎀이 개발되어 사용되고 있지만 낮은 전송율과 높은 전력 소모, 느린 전송속도가 문제로 거론되고 있다. 이 문제를 보완할 수 있는 방안으로 빛을 이용한 근거리 수중무선통신이 대안으로 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가시광 파장영역에서 수중통신 채널 특성을 분석하였다. 자유공간 광무선 통신과 비교하여 수중 가시광 통신기술의 가능성을 제시하고, LED 기반 트랜시버와 CMOS 센서를 통신시스템에 장착하여 수중이미지 전송을 위한 광무선 통신 시스템을 시연하였다.

Gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is widely used in the power systems, however, the contacts overheating of the inside circuit breaker or disconnector may be a potential cause of developing accidents. As the temperature of the contacts cannot be directly acquired due to existence of the metallic shield, an infrared sensor is adopted to directly measure the temperature of the shield and then the contacts temperature can be indirectly obtained by data fitting, based on which the on-line temperature monitoring technology specifically for GIS contacts based on infrared sensing is proposed in this paper. A real GIS test platform is constructed and experimental studies are carried out to account for the influential factors that affect the accuracy of the infrared temperature measurement. A heat transfer model of the GIS module is also developed, together with experimental studies, the nonlinear temperature relationship among the contacts, the metallic shield and the environment based on a neural network algorithm is established. Finally, an integrated on-line temperature monitoring system for the GIS contacts is developed for on-site applications.

Recently, the performance of binaural hearing aids is rapidly improved with the technology advancement of wireless communication, digital signal processing, and integrated circuit design. However, the previous hearing aids developer platforms can't be applied to binaural hearing aids developing, because it has no consideration for wireless communication and binaural hearing control. Also, the previous developer platforms are not easy to use for the algorithm development, because programming languages are limited. In this paper, we designed and implemented the open platform board for binaural hearing aids developing. The designed board can be programmed by general programming language and can be used wireless communication module. In order to verify the designed open platform board, we used the volume control algorithm using two open platform board. As a result of experiment, we verified the performance of designed and implemented open platform board that was successfully operated the binaural hearing control and the wireless communication.
