This study was designed to develop a new algorithm to extract the voluntary EMG and the evoked EMG from a mixed EMG generated when the muscle is stimulated both voluntarily and by electrical stimulation in the FES system. The proposed parallel filter algorithm consists of three phases: (1) Fourier transform of the mixed EMG, (2) multiplication of the transformed signal to two frequency functions, and (3) inverse Fourier transform. Four incomplete spinal cord injured patients participated in the experiments to evaluate the algorithm by measuring the knee extensor torque and the EMG signals from the quadriceps. Two functions of the algorithms were evaluated: (1) extraction of the evoked EMG and (2) the voluntary EMG from the mixed EMG. The results showed that the algorithm enabled us to separate the two EMG components in real time from the mixed EMG. The algorithm can and will be used for estimating the voluntary torque and the evoked torque independently through an artificial neural network based on the two EMG components, and also for generating a trigger signal to control the on/off time of the FES system.

In this paper, excitation systems using a linear mass shaker (LMS) and an active tuned mass damper (ATMD) are presented to simulate the wind induced responses of a building structure. The actuator force for the excitation systems is calculated by using the inverse transfer function of a target structural response to the actuator. Filter and envelop functions are used to prevent the actuator from exciting unexpected modal responses and an initial transient response and thus, to minimize the error between the wind and actuator induced responses. The analyses results from a 76-story benchmark building problem for which the wind load obtained by a wind tunnel test is given, indicate that the excitation system installed at a specific floor can approximately reproduce the structural responses induced by the wind load applied to each floor of the structure. The excitation system designed by the proposed method can be effectively used for evaluating the wind response characteristics of a practical building structure and for obtaining an accurate analytical model of the building under wind load.

This paper studies the performances of five typical Phase-locked Loops (PLLs) for distorted and unbalanced grid, which are the Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame PLL (DDSRF-PLL), Double Second-Order Generalized Integrator PLL (DSOGI-PLL), Double Second-Order Generalized Integrator Frequency-Lock Loop (DSOGI-FLL), Double Inverse Park Transformation PLL (DIPT-PLL) and Complex Coefficient Filter based PLL (CCF-PLL). Firstly, the principles of each method are meticulously analyzed and their unified small-signal models are proposed to reveal their interior relations and design control parameters. Then the performances are compared by simulations and experiments to investigate their dynamic and steady-state performances under the conditions of a grid voltage with a negative sequence component, a voltage drop and a frequency step. Finally, the merits and drawbacks of each PLL are given. The compared results provide a guide for the application of current control, low voltage ride through (LVRT), and unintentional islanding detection.

Measurements of solar wind speed near the Sun (< 0.1 AU) are important for understanding acceleration mechanism of solar wind as well as space weather predictions, but hard to directly measure them. For the first time, we provide 2D solar wind speed maps in the LASCO field of view using three consecutive days data. By applying the Fourier convolution and inverse Fourier transform, we decompose the 3D intensity data (r, PA, t) into the 4D one (r, PA, t, v). Then, we take the weighted mean along speed to determine the solar wind speeds that gives V(r, PA, t) in every 30 min. The estimated radial speeds are consistent with those given by an artificial flow and plasma blobs. We find that the estimated speeds are moderately correlated with those from slow CMEs and those from IPS observations. A comparison of yearly solar wind speed maps in 2000 and 2009 shows that they have very remarkable differences: azimuthally uniform distribution in 2000 and bi-modal distribution (high speed near the poles and low speed near the equator) in 2009.

In this paper, we propose an improved practical encryption and fault-tolerance decryption method using a non-negative value key and random function obtained with a white noise by using iterative phase wrapping method. A phase wrapping operating key, which is generated by the product of arbitrary random phase images and an original phase image. is zero-padded and Fourier transformed. Fourier operating key is then obtained by taking the real-valued data from this Fourier transformed image. Also the random phase wrapping operating key is made from these arbitrary random phase images and the same iterative phase wrapping method. We obtain a Fourier random operating key through the same method in the encryption process. For practical transmission of encryption and decryption keys via Internet, these keys should be intensity maps with non-negative values. The encryption key and the decryption key to meet this requirement are generated by the addition of the absolute of its minimum value to each of Fourier keys, respectively. The decryption based on 2-f setup with spatial filter is simply performed by the inverse Fourier transform of the multiplication between the encryption key and the decryption key and also can be used as a current spatial light modulator technology by phase encoding of the non-negative values. Computer simulations show the validity of the encryption method and the robust decryption system in the proposed technique.

본 논문에서는 선형배열을 이용하여 음향을 측정하기 위한 새로운 빔형성 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안 알고리듬은, FIR 필터 설계기법에 의해 가중상수 및 원하는 빔패턴을 설정하고 이를 초기치로 사용하여 원하는 빔패턴과의 오차가 최소가 되도록 가중상수를 최적화시킨다. 전 주파수에서의 지향지수 균일성 유지를 위해 옥타브대역을 부대역으로 세분하고 의사역행렬에 의해 전달행렬을 정방행렬화하여 각 부대역별로 최적화를 수행한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안 알고리듬이 선형배열에서 음향측정에 적합한 빔패턴 및 지향지수를 형성시켜 음향측정에 유용함을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a 2D discrete-time wavelet transform for which the Q-factor is easily specified. Hence, the transform can be tuned according to the oscillatory behavior of the image signal to which it is applied. The tunable Q-factor wavelet transform (TQWT) is a fully-discrete wavelet transform for which the Q-factor, Q, of the underlying wavelet and the asymptotic redundancy (over-sampling rate), r, of the transform are easily and independently specified. In particular, the specified parameters Q and r can be real-valued. Therefore, by tuning Q, the oscillatory behavior of the wavelet can be chosen to match the oscillatory behavior of the signal of interest, so as to enhance the sparsity of a sparse signal representation. The TQWT is well suited to fast algorithms for sparsity-based inverse problems because it is a Parseval frame, easily invertible, and can be efficiently implemented. The TQWT can also be used as an easily-invertible discrete approximation of the continuous wavelet transform. The transform is based on a real valued scaling factor (dilation-factor) and is implemented using a perfect reconstruction over-sampled filter bank with real-valued sampling factors. The transform is parameterized by its Q-factor and its oversampling rate (redundancy), with modest oversampling rates (e. g. 3-4 times overcomplete) being sufficient for the analysis/synthesis functions to be well localized. Therefore, This method services good performance in image processing fields.

본 논문에서는 연료전지용 전력변환 장치에서 높은 승압비를 구현하기 위하여 절연형 풀브릿지 컨버터의 고주파 변압기 2차측을 직렬로 연결한 새로운 DC/DC 컨버터와 이에 적합한 가변 위상변위 스위칭 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 컨버터는 기존 방식에 비해 정류부와 필터부의 일원화가 가능한 구조로 출력레벨의 증가를 위해 컨버터의 수를 증가 하더라도, 수동소자의 수를 대폭 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 직렬 방식의 컨버터의 출력전압은 기존의 일정위상변위 스위칭 방식으로는 극성이 반대로 되는 구간이 발생하므로, 제안된 전력변환기에 적합한 간단한 가변 위상 변위 스위칭 방식을 적용함으로써, 출력전압의 감소문제를 해결하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

최근, 레이저 초음파 영상화 기법은 구조물의 비접촉식 손상 진단을 위해 널리 연구되고 있다. 초음파 영상화 기법의 가장 큰 장점은 비접촉식으로 구조물의 손상을 진단할 수 있고, 가진 및 측정 지점을 자유로이 이동할 수 있다는 점이다. 따라서 이는 고온이나 동적상태의 구조물에 적용이 가능하며, 시간과 공간상의 충분한 데이터를 획득할 수 있으므로 역문제 (Inverse problem)를 해결할 필요 없이 완전한 초음파의 전파 형상을 얻을 수 있다. 지난 연구들에서는 충분한 가진력 혹은 측정 민감도를 확보하기 위해 가진 레이저와 부착형 센서의 조합이나 부착형 가진 트렌스듀서와 센싱 레이저의 조합으로 초음파 영상을 획득하고자 하였다. 하지만 이들 조합은 가진 혹은 측정 지점이 구조물에 부착되어 있어 완전한 비접촉식 기법을 구현하지 못하였다. 이를 극복하고자 레이저와 EMAT 센서 등의 조합이 시도되어 왔으나, 이 또한 EMAT 센서의 적용 거리에 따른 한계점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가진 레이저 (Nd:Yag)의 스캐닝을 통해 다양한 가진 점에서 발생된 초음파가 탄성체 구조물을 통해 전파되고, 이를 센싱 레이저 (Laser Doppler Vibrometer)를 이용하여 측정함으로써 비접촉식 초음파 영상화를 구현하였다. 나아가, 정상파 필터(Standing-wave filter)를 이용하여 구현된 초음파 영상으로부터 손상 영향만 검출해 내는 기법을 개발했다. 개발된 기법은 복합재 시편의 층간박리 (Delamination) 진단을 통해 검증하였다.
