The characterization of pore properties (mean pore size and pore size distribution) of the active layer in a UF membrane is important not only in order to obtain information about the factors affecting pore formation during membrane manufacturing but also to understand deeply the mechanism of solute and solvent transport through pores. Many methods of characterizing quantitatively the pore properties of UF membranes have been suggested in the literature: solvent and gas flow measurement, bubble point determination, electron microscopy, gas adsorption/desorption measurement, rejection measurement etc. But most of these methods involve time-consuming procedures and involve some wellknown problems and uncertainties.

In this paper, the use of a dual composite right/left-handed coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line is proposed for the design of a band rejection filter. The notch property of the filter is achieved by combining the convex signal line with the shorted concave meander line, and the equivalent circuit model is extracted from the geometry of the unit cell for organizing the band rejection property. Then the equivalent parameters of the unit cell are analyzed to identify those behaviors. And the dispersion characteristics and energy distributions are simulated. In the end, the band rejection filter is manufactured by cascading two proposed unit cells. We show that the measurement result for the resonant frequency demonstrates good agreement with the simulation result and the band rejection filter provides a rejection performance of 17.5 dB at the stopband frequency ranging from 869 MHz to 894 MHz.

This paper verifies the performance of Extended Kalman Filter(EKF) and MCL(Monte Carlo Localization) approach to localization of an underwater vehicle through experiments. Especially, the experiments use acoustic range sensor whose measurement accuracy and uncertainty is not yet proved. Along with localization, the experiment also discloses the uncertainty features of the range measurement such as bias and variance. The proposed localization method rejects outlier range data and the experiment shows that outlier rejection improves localization performance. It is as expected that the proposed method doesn't yield as precise location as those methods which use high priced DVL(Doppler Velocity Log), IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit), and high accuracy range sensors. However, it is noticeable that the proposed method can achieve the accuracy which is affordable for correction of accumulated dead reckoning error, even though it uses only range data of low reliability and accuracy.

An UWB(Ultra Wide Band) antenna with band rejection characteristics is designed and implemented. A planar radiation patch with slot, parasitic elements on both sides of strip and ground plane on back side consist the proposed antenna. The slot in the radiation patch and parasitic elements contribute corresponding bands rejection characteristics. The slot contributes for WiMAX(World interoperability for Microwave Access, 3.30~3.70 GHz) band rejection and parasitic elements contribute for X-Band(7.25~8.395 GHz) rejection. Ansoft's HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator) was used to design the proposed antenna and performance simulations. Simulation result showed VSWR(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) less than 2.0 for UWB band except for dual rejection bands of 3.30~3.86 GHz and 7.21~8.39 GHz. And VSWR measurement result for the implemented antenna shows less than 2.0 for 3.10~10.60 GHz band except dual rejection bands of 3.25~3.71 GHz and 7.25~8.46 GHz.

This paper presents a slot-shaped defected ground structure(DGS) which has multi-band rejection property. The proposed structure, in which the spiral slot-shaped defects with different size are aligned in the transverse direction to the guiding direction of the coplanar waveguide(CPW), provides multiple resonance frequencies. Compared with the simulated results, the band rejection characteristic is in good agreement with the measurement. Also, an equivalent circuit model of the proposed structure is presented, where the DGS on the ground plane is modeled as LC-resonators. This resonators are inductively coupled to the signal line through mutual inductance. From the equivalent circuit model, multi-band rejection property was derived.

In this paper, we design a stabilizing controller with disturbance rejection properties for multirate sampled-data systems which have periodic output measurement scheme. We assume that the plant is open-loop unstable and the disturbance consists of a sum of finite number of sine waves with different frequencies. A sufficient condition for maintaining observability in multirate sampled-data systems is derived. The proposed controller has an IMC structure and can be decomposed into the filtered-disturbance estimator and the inverse of the fast uniform sampled model of the pre-stabilized plant. An example is presented for illustrations.

In this paper, the voltage tracking control of a conventional DC-DC boost converter affected by unknown, time-varying circuit parameter perturbations is investigated. Based on the fundamental property of incremental passivity, a passivity based control law is designed. Then, to obtain a better disturbance rejection property, two generalized proportional integral (GPI) observers are employed to estimate the time-varying uncertainties in the output voltage and inductor current channels, and the estimated values are applied as feedforward compensation. Moreover, the global trajectory tracking performance of a system with disturbances is ensured under the composite controller. Finally, simulation and experiment studies are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed controller delivers a promising disturbance rejection capability as well as a good nominal tracking performance.

The disturbance observer(DOB) has been widely used in high speed and high precision motion control applications and the characteristics of DOB have been investigated in depth. Though most of DOB's have been implemented as the discrete-time form in digital devices, we are still short of the researches on discrete-time DOB (DDOB) in spite of rich references on continuous-time DOB. In this paper, we discuss about the disturbance rejection property and measurement noise effect of discrete-time DOB. Especially, we will focus on revealing the role of sampling time in designing the discrete-time DOB and show the validity of analysis through simulations and experiments for optical disk drive systems.

In this paper, we compare performance of common-mode rejection between a differential and a non-differential amplifier system with two electrodes. A differential amplifier system is constant for common-mode rejection ratio(CMRR) on the frequency domain. But a non-differential amplifier's CMRR is determined by $Z_{FB}/Z_e$ ($Z_{FB}$ ; feedback impedance, $Z_e$; electrode impedance). There is trade-off between a non-differential amplifier's CMRR and its differential input impedance. And a non-differential amplifier system has some advantages for a bio-potential measurement with two electrodes because a designer can control the impedance between the body and system's common.

The echo signal on ultrasonic transducer is a mixed signal from tissues, blood vessel walls, blood cells and noise. In this mixed-signal, the signal reflected from tissues and blood vessel walls is called clutter. It is necessary to extract pure blood signal from this mixed-signal, when measuring blood flow velocity with medical ultrasonic system The quality of measured blood flow velocity is highly dependent on sufficient attenuation of the clutter signals. In this paper, we suggest a clutter rejection method using ICA For simulation, the echo signals are generated by Field n ultrasonic simulation program In this echo signals, independent signals are separated by using ICA Then the blood signal is obtained from the separated signals. Blood flow velocity is measured by 2D autocorrelation method. We compare ICA clutter rejection method with PCA-based eigen filter method using both measured blood flow velocity profiles by 2D autocorrelation. In simulation results, ICA clutter rejection method can be better applied measuring blood flow velocity in noisy echo signals.
