A new analysis method of lumped-element directional coupler for CATV was proposed, where the even-and odd-mode theory for a symmetrical coupled-line directional coupler was applied to a transformer-type directional coupler. In addition, the tap-offs were analyzed by the proposed theory, which are widely used in CATV (Cable Television) systems. By comparing the calculated results for S-parameters results to the measured ones using only the even-and odd-mode reflection coefficients, the validity of the proposed analysis method was confirmed. Then, it was clearly shown that the tap-off has very wide bandwidth from 5 MHz to 4,000 MHz by adopting the proposed theory.

In this paper, a digital control strategy based on equivalent fundamental and odd harmonic resonators is proposed for single-phase DVRs. By using a delay block, which can be equivalent to a bank of resonators, it rejects the fundamental and odd harmonic disturbances effectively. The structure of the single closed-loop control system consists of a delay block, a proportional gain and a set of zero phase notch filters. The principle of the controller design is discussed in detail to ensure the stability of the system. Both the supply voltage and the load current feedforwards are used to improve the response speed and the ability to eliminate disturbances. The proposed controller is simple in terms of its structure and implementation. It has good performances in harmonic compensation and dynamic response. Experimental results from a 2kW DVR prototype confirm the validity of the design procedure and the effectiveness of the control strategy.

The present study investigates flow characteristics in an optical disc drive (ODD). Detailed knowledge of the flow characteristics is essential to analyze flow-induced noise and vibration, forced convection and flow friction loss. The ODD used in a personal computer is used for the experiment and rotating velocity of disc is under the 4500 rpm. Time-resolved velocity component and velocity spectrum are obtained using the laser Doppler anemometry (LDA), and the flow patterns induced by rotating disc in the ODD are calculated by a commercial finite volume method at the same time. The results show that the front holes reduce flow-induced noise and the position of pickup body only affects flow near the window. Furthermore, it is possible for cooling of heat sources in the drive through measuring the flow fields under the tray. In addition, the numerical results are well matched up to the experimental results, therefore, the validation of the numerical results can be achieved. From the validation of numerical results, it is possible to predict the flow characteristics of the region where it is unable to conduct the experiment.

In this paper, the various uncertainties generated in an optical disk drive (ODD) and the robust servo designs considering the uncertainties are studied. First, the brief introduction an ODD and the servo error tolerance of it are discussed. Then, the classifications of uncertainty and the concept of relative stability are introduced. Considering the uncertainty of an ODD, two robust control approaches are applied: (i) mixed sensitivity approach in H$\infty$ control theory for unstructured uncertainty, (ii) QFT for structured uncertainty Finally, the designed controllers are realized by DSP, and these controllers are applied to a commercial DVD-ROM drive. From these experiments, we prove that the designed robust controllers have more good disturbance rejection performance and robustness when it is compared to the conventional lead-lag controller.

For greeting the era of ubiquitous network, data storage devices have been essentially attached to mobile data devices. As a result, the minimization of the storage device has arisen as major interests in the next generation data storage technology. So, there are many researches for the small form factor ODD. In this paper, we propose a pick up that consists of a linear VCM and 2-wire focusing actuator for a small form factor ODD. For the sake of checking performance of the coarse actuator, PID controller is designed. Experiment with controller and DSP board shows its propriety as a fine tracking actuator. And, 2-wire suspension actuator is designed in order to be contained in a coarse actuator and to satisfy the thickness of a PCMCIA type. Through the experiment of designed actuator, It verifies performance as a focusing actuator.

Hypoxia-inducible factor $1{\alpha}\;(HIF1{\alpha})$ is a transcription factor that plays a key role in the adaptation of cells to low oxygen stress and oxygen homeostasis. The oxygen-dependent degradation (ODD) domain of $HIF1{\alpha}$ is responsible for the negative regulation of $HIF1{\alpha}$ in normoxia. The interactions of the $HIF1{\alpha}$ ODD domain with partner proteins such as von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (pVHL) and p53 are mediated by two sequence motifs, the N- and C-terminal ODD(NODD and CODD). Multiple sequence alignment with $HIF1{\alpha}$ homologs from human, monkey, pig, rat, mouse, chicken, frog, and zebrafish has demonstrated that the NODD and CODD motifs have noticeably high conservation of the primary sequence across different species and isoforms. In this study, we carried out molecular dynamics simulation of the structure of the $HIF1{\alpha}$ CODD motif in complex with the p53 DNA-binding domain (DBD). The structure reveals specific functional roles of highly conserved residues in the CODD sequence motif of $HIF1{\alpha}$ for the recognition of p53.

There are two important trends in the modern information society, including digital networking and ubiquitous environment. Thus it is strongly required to develop new information storage devices such as high density storages to match the increased data capacity and small size storage devices to be applied to the mobile multimedia electronics. So far, many approaches have been studied for the high density memory, including the holographic memory, super-RENS and near-field recording using solid immersion lens (SIL) or nano-probe for the ODD (Optical Disk Drive) system, and the perpendicular magnetic recording and heat-assisted magnetic recording for the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) system. In addition, new mobile storage devices have been prepared using 0.85" HDD and 30mm ODD systems from a lot of foreign and domestic companies and institutes. In this paper, the recent technology trend for the next generation information storage system is summarized to offer a research motivation and encouragement to new researchers in this field with an emphasis on the technical issues of the increase of data capacity and decrease of device size.

Conventionally, the second-order self-adjoint neutron transport equations have been studied using the even parity and the odd parity equations. Recently, however, the SAAF(self-adjoint angular flux) form of neutron transport equation has been introduced as a new option for the second-order self-adjoint equations. In this paper we validated the SAAF equation mathematically and clarified how it relates with the existing even and odd parity equations. We also developed a second-order SAAF differencing formula including DSA(diffusion synthetic acceleration) from the first-order difference equations. Numerical result is attached to show that the proposed methods increases accuracy with effective computational effort.

In this paper, we demonstrate that the directivity of the CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) directional coupler with finite-extent backed conductor is enhanced by eliminating center region of backed conductor appropriately. If the backed conductor is removed at center region of couplers, the couplers have two backed conductors. If effective odd mode dielectric constant is decreased at center region, the electrical length for odd mode is changed and phase velocity is same at the directional couplers. Hence, directivity is improved. The eliminated length is solved by an odd and even mode analysis. The designed moderate CPW directional coupler with the proposed compensation structure has excellent directivity and matching characteristic at center frequency in simulation and measurement.

고 배속 광디스크 드라이브(ODD) 시스템에서 위치제어 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 디스크의 면 진동과 수평 진동과 같은 외란에 의한 오차를 감소 시켜야만 한다. 따라서 하드디스크를 포함한 여러 분야에서 뛰어난 외란 제거 성능을 보이고 있는 외란 관측기는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다. 그러나 ODD 같은 양산용 전자제품에 외란 관측기를 구현하기 위해서는 별도의 계산 장치가 필요하고, 출력신호를 직접 Feedback 신호로 활용해야 하는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 ODD 시스템의 외란을 제거하기 위한 수정된 구조를 가지는 오차를 기초로 한 외란관측기(Error Based Modified Disturbance Observer, EM-DOB)를 제안한다. EM-ROB 시스템은 DOB 시스템에 비해 그 구조가 더욱 간편하고 쉽게 구현 할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 그리고 제안한 EM-DOB 시스템의 특성을 연구하고 실험을 통해서 EM-DOB의 효용성을 입증하였다.
