An adaptive maximum power point tracking (MPPT) scheme employing a variable scaling factor is presented. A MPPT control loop was constructed analytically and the magnitude variation in the MPPT loop gain according to the operating point of the PV array was identified due to the nonlinear characteristics of the PV array output. To make the crossover frequency of the MPPT loop gain consistent, the variable scaling factor was determined using an approximate curve-fitted polynomial equation about linear expression of the error. Therefore, a desirable dynamic response and the stability of the MPPT scheme were maintained across the entire MPPT voltage range. The simulation and experimental results obtained from a 3 KW rated prototype demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed MPPT scheme.

A novel ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ fractional-N PLL architecture for fast locking and fractional spur suppressing is proposed based on the capacitance scaling scheme. It changes the effective capacitance of loop filter (LF) by increasing and decreasing current to the capacitor via different paths with multiple charge pumps. The effective capacitance of loop filter (LF) can be scaled up/down depending on operating status while keeping LF capacitors small enough to be integrated into a single PLL chip. Fractional spurs suppressing have been achieved by reducing the magnitude of charge pump current when the PLL is in-lock without degrading fast locking characteristic. It has been simulated by HSPICE in a CMOS $0.35{\mu}m$ process, and shows flat locking time is less than $8{\mu}s$ with the small size of LF capacitors, 200pF and 17pF, and $2.8k{\Omega}$ resistor.

Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene helps to regulate energy homeostasis in mammals by controlling energy expenditure. In addition, FTO functions in the regulation of obesity and adipogenic differentiation; however, a role in osteogenic differentiation is unknown. This study investigated the effects of FTO on osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells and the underlying mechanism. Expression of osteogenic and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers were characterized by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was performed to assess ALP activity. BMP2 treatment increased mRNA expression of osteogenic genes and FTO. Overexpression of FTO increased expression of the osteogenic genes distal-less homeobox5 (Dlx5) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2). Activation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) increased FTO expression, and there was a positive feedback loop between FTO and p-AMPK. p-AMPK and FTO induced mild ER stress; however, tunicamycin-induced severe ER stress suppressed FTO expression and AMPK activation. In summary, FTO induces osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells upon BMP2 treatment by inducing mild ER stress via a positive feedback loop with p-AMPK. FTO expression and AMPK activation induce mild ER stress. By contrast, severe ER stress inhibits osteogenic differentiation by suppressing FTO expression and AMPK activation.

In this paper, we apply V-Q Lissajoucs' figure for observation of a V-Q (Voltage-Charge) hysteresis loop at interface between phosphor and insulation layer in P-ELDz which are a simple structure and the back lighting of LCDs (Liquid Crystal Display). In V-Q Lissajous' figure, we measured a change of hysteresis loop according to the thickness of Insulation and phosphor layer. From experiment result, we will be obtained a optimum thickness of insulation with comparing the correlation of a V-L (Voltage-Luminance) and V-Q hysteresis loop.

A clock and data recovery circuit with a phase-locked loop for 10 Gb/s optical transmission system was realized in a hybrid IC form. The quadri-correlation architecture is used for frequency-and phase-locked loop. A NRZ-to-PRZ converter and a 360 degree analogue phase shifter are included in the circuit. The jitter characteristics satisfy the recommendations of ITU-T. The capture range of 150 MHz and input voltage sensitivity of 100 mVp-p were showed. The temperature compensation characteristics were tested for the operating temperature from -10 to $60^{\circ}C$ and showed no increase of error. This circuit was adopted for the 10 Gb/s transmission system through a normal single-mode fiber with the length of 400 km and operated successfully.

In this paper, QFT robust control strategy is proposed to improve stability of power systems in the presence of parametric uncertainty. The basic idea in QFT is to convert design specifications of a closed loop system and plant uncertainties into robust stability and performance bounds on the open loop transmission of the nominal system and then to design a controller by using the gain-phase loop sharing technique. The robustness of the QFT controller has been investigated on a single machine infinite bus model by nonlinear simulations.

In this paper, multi folded dual monopole antenna for WLAN communication of dual bend is designed and fabricated. The proposed multi folded dual monopole antenna are consisted of two folded rectangle loops by microstrip fed that is modified dual monopole antenna.

This paper deal with basic concept of Hardware In the Loop System(HILS) for hydraulic excavator. Hydraulic excavator has many nonlinearities because of P-Q diagram, dead zone and saturation of valve, single acting cylinder, heavy manipulator. So, actual test is needed when new component or control algorithm is developed but many restrictions exist. Hydraulic circuit of excavator is too complex to model mathematically but dynamic equation of manipulator has made good progress in previous studies. Basic concept of HILS and AMESim model of hydraulic components is contained in this paper.

In this paper transparent PLZT ceramics for the composition of 9/65/35 (La/Zr/Ti ) are fabricated using hotpress and the possibility of application to optical shutter is examined by obtaining the On-Off characteristics of specimens. The ferroelectric E-P hysteresis loop exhibits slim loop suitable for the quadratic electrooptic effect. Measurements of the electrooptic effect show that specimens have the quadratic electrooptic effect but the light intensities as functions of electric field exhibit butterfly type hysteresis curves because of its slightly large saturation remanent polarization and coercive field. On-Off characteristics are obtained by electric fields of-6 kv/cm and +2kv/cm. As a result of experiments, 9/65/35 PLZT ceramics can be applied to optical shutter but construction with other composition which has more slim hysteresis loop is desired for obtaining the Off state by zero electric field.
