Multilevel converter topologies are widely used in many applications. The cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHBMI), which is one of many multilevel converter topologies, has been introduced as a useful topology in high and medium power. However, it has a drawback to require a lot of switches. Therefore, the reliability of CHBMI is important factor for analyzing the performance. This paper presents a simple switch fault diagnosis method for single-phase CHBMI. There are two types of switch faults: open-fault and short-fault. In the open-fault, the body diode of faulty switch provides a freewheeling current path. However, when the short-fault occurs, the distortion of output current is different from that of the open-fault because it has an unavailable freewheeling current flow path due to a disconnection of fuse. The fault diagnosis method is based on the zero current time analysis according to zero-voltage switching states. Using the proposed method, it is possible to detect the location of faulty switch accurately. The PSIM simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of proposed switch fault diagnosis method.

The problem of fluctuation-induced digital errors in a rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) circuit has been very important issue. So in this experiment, we calculated error rate of RSFQ switch in superconductiyity ALU, The RSFQ switch should have a very low error rate in the optimal bias. We prepared two circuits Placed in parallel. One was a 10 Josephson transmission lines (JTLs) connected in series, and the other was the same circuit but with an RSFQ switch placed in the middle of the 10 JTLs. We used a splitter to feed the same input signal to the both circuits. The outputs of the two circuits were compared with an RSFQ XOR to measure the error rate of the RSFQ switch. By using a computerized bit error rate test setup, we measured the bit error rate of 2.18$\times$$10^{12}$ when the bias to the RSFQ switch was 0.398mh that was quite off from the optimum bias of 0.6mA.

This paper describes the design and development of a novel semiconductor-based solid-state switch for damped oscillating voltage test system. The proposed switch is configured as two identical series-connected switch stacks, each of which comprising 10 series-connected IGBT function units. Each unit consists of one IGBT, a gate driver, and an auxiliary voltage sharing circuit. A single switch stack can block 20 kV-rated high voltage, and two stacks in series are proven applicable to 30 kV-rated high voltage. The turn-on speed of the switch is approximately 250 ns. A flyback topology-based power supply system with a front-end power factor correction is built for the drive circuit by loosely inductively coupling each unit with a ferrite core to the primary side of a power generator to obtain the advantages of galvanic isolation and compact size. After the simulation, measurement, and estimation of the parasitic effect on the gate driver, a prototype is assembled and tested under different operating regimes. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the developed prototype.

Recently, Digital Switch has risen as one of the important issues on which academic and industrial world focus in order to bring organizational transformation to a company that wants to adapt itself to the rapidly changing business environment. However, the discussion in the Digital Switch has been so much concentrated in the study of each static system, model of their performance and the development of monitoring each of them, that only few theoretical research has been carried out on the dynamic process of how each system in the organization experienced the change in terms of the level of digital transformation that can occur in the whole organization facing the change of digital environment. Therefore this thesis aims to develop a new model & strategy of switching to global digital by OEM companies in Jeonlabuk-do that enables us to check out and predict the Digital Switch progress. This model is the first Digital Switch process evaluation intended for empirical study, especially by integrating the many indices that have not been examined empirically by the existing studies. We expect that the results from this research will help corporate e-business strategy planners to devise and analyze the Digital Switch strategies effectively by recognizing the companies' current situation in comparison with their previous and other firms' level, respectively.

In this paper, we proposed a new single-stage single-switch power factor correction(S-4 PFC) converter with output electrical isolation. The configuration of this converter is achieved by combining a fly back circuit and a forward circuit in one power stage. To verify the theoretical analysis of the proposed converter, a design example is given with its Pspice simu-lation and experimental results.

본 논문은 직렬로 연결된 스위치의 OFF-위치를 감지할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 각각의 스위치에는 병렬로 각기 다른 주파수 특성을 갖는 수동 소자가 병렬로 연결되어 있다. ON된 스위치에는 병렬로 연결된 수동 소자의 주파수 특성에 관계없이 평탄한 특성을 갖으며, OFF된 스위치의 경우에는 연결된 수동소자의 주파수 특성이 스위치의 양 단자에 나타난다. OFF된 스위치의 위치 인식은 직렬로 연결된 스위치의 양 단자에 백색 잡음(Maximum-Length Sequence)을 입력하고, 각각의 스위치를 OFF한 상태에서 출력 단자에서 스펙트럼을 계산하여 미리 참조 스펙트럼을 작성하고, 작성된 참조 스펙트럼과 입력 스펙트럼 간의 유사도를 계산하여 가장 근접한 참조 스펙트럼을 OFF된 스위치의 스펙트럼으로 인식한다. 이를 위한 디지털 신호처리 시스템을 설계하고, 설계된 시스템을 이용하여 스펙트럼 매칭으로 OFF-스위치의 위치를 감지한다.

Arterial switch operation for repair of nineteen cases of transposition of the great arteries associated with ventricular septal defect and three cases with double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect[Taussig-Bing type DORV] was performed from November 1987 to September 1990 at the Seoul National University Children`s Hospital. Sixteen of them were under six months of age, and three were under one year of age with body weight ranged from three to fourteen kilograms. Preoperative cardiac catheterization was done in eighteen patients, in which the pressure of the left ventricle was greater than 70% of the right ventricle in all but one. Patent ductus was associated in thirteen cases[68.4%] of TGA+VSD, and atrial septal defect or patent oval foramen was in sixteen cases. Four atrial septostomy, one modified Blalock- Taussig shunt, one pulmonary artery banding, one coarctoplasty using subclavian arterial flap, were perfomed before arterial switch operation. There were five hospital deaths, all in the. patients with transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect[overall mortality rate 22.7%]. Lecompte Maneuver was used in all patients, and in all patient the U-shaped flap of coronary arteries were transposed to V-shaped cleavage created in the neoaorta. Arterial defect in the neopulmonary artery was covered with 0.0625% Glutaraldehyde fixed autogenous pericardium There have been no late deaths, Postoperative cardiac catheterization and angiocardiogram in four patients has revealed no stenosis in the neopulmonary artery or neoaorta with reasonable P[RV/LV], Anatomic correction for transposition and double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect would seem to be a good operative alternative to intraatrial switch procedures, with the advantage of incorporating the left ventricle to systemic circulation.

Memory-device is one of the auxiliary components of point-switch machine; connecting front-rod and tongue-rail. The right side and left side of memory-device are different from each other. When there would be a derailing accident of rolling stock or motor-car, the memory-device properly bends and protects the internal of point-switch machine. Memory-device is one of the important site maintenance spare parts. Memory-device for each of right and left side should be secured so that they can be installed on correct side during an exchange work. This study suggests the development of memory-device with different left and right side and the performance test of it. The study intends to contribute in the convenience improvement of maintenance by improving the unification of memory-device.

This paper considers a TMN-based management system for the management of public ATM switching networks using a four-level hierarchical structure consisting of one network management system, several element management systems, and several agent-ATM switch pairs. Using Jackson's queuing model, we analyze the effects of one TMN command on the performance of the component ATM switch in processing local calls. The TMN command considered is the permanent virtual call connection. We analyze four performance measures of ATM switches- utilization, mean queue length and mean waiting time for the processor directly interfacing with the subscriber lines and trunks, and the call setup delay of the ATM switch- and compare the results with those from Jackson's queuing model.
