This paper presents a Single-Inductor Multiple-Output (SIMO) DC-DC Converter with a negative feedback selection circuit to improve a regulation property at light load and to generate independent multiple outputs. The conventional SIMO DC-DC converter with a fixed negative feedback circuit cannot regulate correctly at light load. The SIMO DC-DC converter with the proposed negative feedback selection circuit has been designed in 0.35um 2-poly 3-metal BCDMOS. This converter is dual output boost converter with the 1.5V input and 2.5V, 3.0V output. The power conversion efficiency varies from 59% at 10mA loads to 85% at 50mA loads.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a vibration feedback system in improving two safe seating postures of office workers. In addition, the relative effectiveness of positive and negative feedback procedures was examined. Participants were four office workers. The dependent variables were the percentages of time participants spent in the safe sitting postures including shoulder, back, and overall body positions during the experimental sessions. A multiple-baseline design counterbalanced across participants was adopted. For two participants, the negative procedure was introduced first after baseline and positive procedure was introduced in the next phase. For the other two participants, the sequence of introducing the positive and negative feedback procedures was reversed. The result showed that the vibration feedback system, regardless of the type of the procedure, was effective in improving the safe sitting postures for all participants. However, the difference between the two procedures was not clearly shown. The benefits of the automated observation and vibration feedback system in workers' safety were discussed.

A low-noise phase-locked loop(PLL) with three negative feedback loops has been proposed. It is not easy to improve noise characteristics with a conventional PLL. The added negative feedback loops reduce the input voltage magnitude of voltage controlled oscillator which determines the jitter characteristics, enabling the improvement of noise characteristics. Simulation results show that the jitter characteristics are improved as a negative feedback loop is added. In the case of power consumption, it slightly rises by about 10%, but jitter characteristics are improved by about two times. The proposed PLL was simulated with Hspice using a 1.8V 180nm CMOS process.

In reactor operation, it is widely known that the absolute stability may not exist for multiple feedback paths even though the single lumped negative temperature coefficient feedback case is clearly stable at all frequencies above those creating xenon poisoning effects. However, interesting and useful stability information may be obtained from a two-path temperature coefficient feedback which can be represented in a water-cooled, water-moderated hetergeneous reactor. In this paper, the outline of an operating stability of a reactor having two-path temperature coefficient feedback is analyzed and described neglecting poison effects.

In this paper, we propose an alternative method to increase the distortion cancellation bandwidth of an analog RF feedback power amplifier by using a negative group delay circuit(NGDC). A limited distortion cancellation bandwidth due to the group delay(GD) mismatch discouraged the use of feedback technique in spite of its powerful linearization performance. With the fabricated NGDC with positive phase slope over frequency, the feedback amplifier of the proposed topology experimentally achieved adjacent channel leakage ratio(ACLR) improvement of 15 dB over 50 MHz bandwidth at wideband code division multiple access(WCDMA) downlink band when tested with 2-carrier WCDMA signal. At an average output power of 28 dBm, ACLR of 25.1 dB is improved to obtain -53.2 dBc at 5 MHz offset.

This study aims to examine the influence of tennis instructors' coaching behaviors on the satisfaction with lessons and preference for instructors. In order to achieve this study objective, by using the quota sampling out of nonprobability sampling for tennis club members who are now(2015) actively involved in tennis courts located in Daejeon Metropolitan City and Chungcheongnam-do, and also receiving tennis lesson for more than six months or used to take lessons before, the 325 effective samples were used for data analysis. Using the SPSS Ver. 21.0 Window Program, the collected data went through frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, and the results are like below. Regarding differences of coaching behaviors depending on sex, first, there were significant differences in the factors like explanatory instruction, positive feedback and negative feedback. In case of differences in accordance with age, every factor showed significant differences. In regard of differences depending on academic background, there were differences in the factor of negative feedback while the factor of positive feedback showed differences in accordance with the experience of lesson. In case of differences depending on the level of athletic performance, there were statistically significant differences in the factors like explanatory instruction, questioning instruction and negative feedback. Second, the positive feedback, one of the sub-factors of coaching behaviors had positive influence on satisfaction with lesson while the explanatory instruction, one of the sub-factors of coaching behaviors had positive influence on preference for instructors. Lastly, the satisfaction with lesson had positive influence on preference for instructors.

This paper reviewed the relationship between job characteristics and incremental innovation, and the moderating effect of tenure. The results of multiple regression analysis, based on the responses from 241 employees in service industry, showed that job variety, identity, importance, autonomy and feedback have positive relationships with incremental innovation. In moderating effects, tenure interacts with variety and identity to have positive effects on incremental innovation, but tenure interacts with job importance, autonomy and feedback to have negative effects on incremental innovation.

An extremely small size multi-loop phase-locked loop(PLL) keeping phase noise performances has been proposed. It has been designed to have the loop filter made of small single capacitor with multiple Frequency Voltage Converters (FVCs) because the main goal is to make the size of the proposed PLL extremely small. Multiple FVCs which are connected to voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) make multiple negative feedback loops in PLL. Those multiple negative feedback loops enable the PLL with the loop filter made of an extremely small size single capacitor operate stably. It has been designed with a 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The simulation results show that the proposed PLL has the 1.6ps jitter and $10{\mu}s$ locking time.

This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of shell structure that is subjected to internal unbalanced excitation by using active mounts and accelerometers. The unbalanced excitation is caused by a rotating unbalanced mass. The control algorithm considered in this study is the negative acceleration feedback (NAF) control. A simplified dynamic model was derived to verify the effectiveness of the NAF control. Four actuators and four accelerometers were mounted on the shell structure, so that the multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) NAF controller was designed by both centralized and decentralized ways. Numerical results show that both the decentralized and centralized NAF controllers are effective. Based on the numerical simulation, the proposed decentralized NAF controller was applied to the real shell structure. Experimental results show that the proposed decentralized NAF controller can effectively suppress vibrations of the shell structure.
