A new automatic cardiac output control algorithm for the motor-driven electromechanical total artificial heart(TAH) was developed based on the motor current waveform analysis without using any extra transducer. The basic control requirements of artificial heart can be described in terms of three features : preload sensitivity, afterload insensitivity, and balanced ventricular outputs. In the previous studies, many transducers were utilized to obtain informations of hemodynamic states for the automatic cardiac output control, But such automatic control systems with sensors have had reliability problems. We proposed a new sensorless automatic cardiac output control algorithm providing adequate cardiac output to the time-varying physiological demand without causing right atrial collapse, which is one of the critical problem in an active-filling type device. In-vitro tests were performed on a mock circulation system to evaluate the performance of the developed algorithm and the results show that the new algorithm satisfied the basic control requirements on the cardiac output response and the possibility of application of the developed algorithm to in vivo experiments.

본 논문에선느 ATM 통신망을 위한 여러 ATM 스위치 모델들 중에서, 내부적으로 블록킹(blocking)이 없고 입출력 단에 각각 버퍼가 할당되어 있는 입출력 버퍼형 교환기에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존에서 스위치 스피드-업(Switch Speed-up) 기법하에서 주로 연구가 이루어졌다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 유니폼 트래픽하에서 Output-port Expansion 기법을 사용한 귀환.손실 모드 및 하이브리드 모드하에서의 셀 손실률을 비교 분석하였다. Output-port Expansion 기법은, 한 타임 슬롯동안에 입력포트 당 하나의 셀만 교환되며, 만약 하나 이상의 셀들이 같은 출력포트로 향하면, 최대 교환되는 셀 수를 K(Output-port Expansion Ratio)개로 제한하는 방식이다. 유니폼 트래픽(uniform random traffic) 하에서 각 모드에 따른 셀 손실률을 비교 분석한 결과, 로드 0.9를 기점으로, 0.9이하의 로드에서는 하이브리드 모드가, 0.9이상의 로드에서는 손실모드가 가장 낮은 셀 손실률을 보인다.

In this paper, the charge control with the input voltage feedback is proposed for the input series-output series-output parallel connected converter configuration for the high speed train power system application. This control scheme accomplishes the output current sharing for the output-parallel connected modules as well as the input voltage sharing for the input series connected modules for all operating conditions including the transients. It also offers the robustness for the input voltage sharing control according to the component value mismatches among the modules. And this configuration enables the usage of MOSFET for a high voltage system allowing a higher switching frequency for lighter system weight and smaller size. The performance of the proposed scheme is verified through the experimental results.

This study proposes a three-stage model of R&BD performance which captures commercialization outcomes as well as conventional R&D performance. The model is composed of three factors : inputs (R&D budgets and researchers), outputs (patents and papers), and outcomes (technical fees, products sales, and cost savings). Three stages are defined for each transformation process between the three factors : efficiency stage from input to output (stage 1), effectiveness stage from output to outcome (stage 2), and productivity stage from input to outcome (stage 3). The performance of each stage is measured by data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a non-parametric efficiency measurement technique that has widely been used in R&D performance measurement. We measure the performance of 171 projects of 6 public R&BD programs managed by Seoul Business Agency using the proposed three-stage model. In order to provide a balanced and holistic view of R&BD performance, the R&BD performance map is also constructed based on performance of efficiency and productivity stages.

Abstract- In distant-talking environments, speech recognition performance degrades significantly due to noise and reverberation. Recent work of Michael L. Selzer shows that in microphone array speech recognition, the word error rate can be significantly reduced by adapting the beamformer weights to generate a sequence of features which maximizes the likelihood of the correct hypothesis. In this approach, called Likelihood Maximizing Beamforming algorithm (Limabeam), one of the method to implement this Limabeam is an UnSupervised Limabeam(USL) that can improve recognition performance in any situation of environment. From our investigation for this USL, we could see that because the performance of optimization depends strongly on the transcription output of the first recognition step, the output become unstable and this may lead lower performance. In order to improve recognition performance of USL, some post-filter techniques can be employed to obtain more correct transcription output of the first step. In this work, as a post-filtering technique for first recognition step of USL, we propose to add a Wiener-Filter combined with Feature Weighted Malahanobis Distance to improve recognition performance. We also suggest an alternative way to implement Limabeam algorithm for Hidden Markov Network (HM-Net) speech recognizer for efficient implementation. Speech recognition experiments performed in real distant-talking environment confirm the efficacy of Limabeam algorithm in HM-Net speech recognition system and also confirm the improved performance by the proposed method.

Sensor fusion is the one of the main research topics. It offers the highly reliable estimation of vehicle movement by processing and mixing several sensor outputs. But unfortunately, every sensor has drift which degrades the performance of sensor. It means a single degraded sensor output may affect whole sensor fusion system. Drift in most research is ideally assumed to be zero because it's usually a nonlinear model and has sample variation. Plus, it's very difficult for the acceleration to separate drift from the output signal since it contains many contributors such as vehicle acceleration, slope angle, pitch angle, surface condition and so on. In this paper, modified spline interpolation is introduced as a dynamic temperature compensation method covering sample variation. Using the last known output and the first initial output is suggested to build and update compensation factor. When the system has more compensation data, the system will have better performance of compensated output because of the regression compensation model. The performance of the dynamic temperature compensation system is evaluated by measuring offset drift between with and without the compensation.

We have analyzed technology transfer and commercialization process and factors affecting the outcomes of technology commercialization of public research institutes in Korea. A technology commercialization process model was presented as an input, intermediate outcomes/capabilities, output (outcome) structure using the structural equation model. Input variables include R&D input, technology commercialization strategy/support, collaboration, social capital. The model also includes R&D capabilities and technology commercialization performance as intermediate variable and output variable respectively. The technology commercialization performance was measured as the number of technology transfer and spin-off. We conducted survey and 88 institutes responded. Empirical results show that R&D input influence R&D capabilities and R&D capabilities influence the output of technology transfer and commercialization. Collaboration activities and social capital also appear to have a positive effect on the output. However, the effect of strategy and support on the output appear to be not statistically significant.

In this paper, we designed a 4.5kW X-band SSPA transmitter to replace the TWTA search radar transmitter with low MTBF and high maintenance cost. The transmitter is designed for the performance of over 520W average transmission output and 4.0kW maximum transmission output. In particular, by implementing a graceful degradation, it is designed to maintain better performance than conventional TWTA transmitter up to 40% (13 assembly modules) failure level of 200W power amplifier assembly. Through an experiment on the effective range of X-band, the performance of proposed transmitter verified the values of the maximum transmission output 6.1kW, spurious output 69.16dBc, RF pulse rising time 15.2ns and RF pulse falling time 16.3ns. The experiment confirmed the change of output power according to the graceful degradation due to fault injection.
