A distributed hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) platform is developed for designing an automotive engine control system. The HILS equipment consists of a widely used PC and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) I/O boards instead of a powerful computing system and custom-made I/O boards. The distributed structure of the HILS system supplements the lack of computing power. These features make the HILS equipment more cost-effective and flexible. The HILS uses an automatic code generation extension, REAL-TIME WORKSHOP$^{ (RTW$^{) of MATLAB$^{ tool-chain and RT-LAB$^{, which enables distributed simulation as well as the detection and generation of digital event between simulation time steps. The mean value engine model, which is used in control design phase, is imported into this HILS. The engine model is supplemented with some I/O subsystems and I/O boards to interface actual input and output signals in real-time. The I/O subsystems are designed to imitate real sensor signals with high fidelity as well as to convert the raw data of the I/O boards to the appropriate forms for proper interfaces. A lot of attention is paid to the generation of a precise crank/ earn signal which has the problem of quantization in a conventional fixed time step simulation. The detection of injection! command signal which occurs between simulation time steps are also successfully compensated. In order to prove the feasibility of the proposed environment, a simple PI controller for an air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) control is used. The proposed HILS environment and I/O systems are shown to be an efficient tool to develop various control functions and to validate the software and hardware of the engine control system.

The development of paper machines, increasing machine speeds with new, mostly low basis weight and/or high ash content paper grades, as well as the fact that several trends regarding process items have increased the sensitivity of papermaking. At the same time, papermakers are looking for flexibility in the production line. We can say that with all PMs the biggest benefits with the lowest capital spending can be achieved by focusing on improved wet end management. In order to manage wet end chemistry on a paper machine, our goal is to control sub-process through which we can influence the operation of the entire wet end with maximum effect. Key measurements and controls are-white water consistency control which is the most effective way to control retention - charge demand measurement and control which takes care of concentration of the anionic material entering to PM -ash measurements and controls which are deeply related to retention and paper quality This paper presents and concentrates to two of these key controls ; retention and charge. The purpose of charge control is to give the process control the tools to react to changes caused by amount of dissolved and colloida material incoming to wet end system. It is called coagulation or fixing control. Retention control is then taking care of retention aid flow to the process by responding any changes seen in white water consistency. It is called flocculation control. Each of these solutions separately , and even more effectively all together, stabilize the wet end operations and so greatly improve the produced paper quality and machine runnability. Practical results will be presented and they are referring to the latest mill cases. We have developed the first wet end measuring system in the late 1980s and control solutions based on this modern measuring technology were completely updated in 1990s. This paper introduces the principle, operation , and results of our unique wet end analyzers (retention and charge ) which are at the level of automation solutions as a part of paper machine quality control Especially our newest member of the platform , on-line charge analyzer has reached and set new standards to the on-line charge monitoring.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are capable of unlimited self-renewal and can give rise to all three germ layers, thereby providing a new platform with which to study mammalian development and epigenetic reprogramming. However, iPSC generation may result in subtle epigenetic variations, such as the aberrant methylation of the Dlk1-Dio3 locus, among the clones, and this heterogeneity constitutes a major drawback to harnessing the full potential of iPSCs. Vitamin C has recently emerged as a safeguard to ensure the normal imprinting of the Dlk1-Dio3 locus during reprogramming. Here, we show that vitamin C exerts its effect in a manner that is independent of the reprogramming kinetics. Moreover, we demonstrate that reprogramming cells under 2i conditions leads to the early upregulation of Prdm14, which in turn results in a highly homogeneous population of authentic pluripotent colonies and prevents the abnormal silencing of the Dlk1-Dio3 locus.

Low-power radio frequency (RF) chip transceiver technology and the associated structural health monitoring platforms have matured recently to enable high-rate, lossless transmission of measurement data across large-scale sensor networks. The intrinsic value of these advanced capabilities is the allowance for high-quality, rapid operational modal analysis of in-service structures using distributed accelerometers to experimentally characterize the dynamic response. From the analysis afforded through these dynamic data sets, structural identification techniques can then be utilized to develop a well calibrated finite element (FE) model of the structure for baseline development, extended analytical structural evaluation, and load response assessment. This paper presents a case study in which operational modal analysis is performed on a three-span prestressed reinforced concrete bridge using a wireless sensor network. The low-power wireless platform deployed supported a high-rate, lossless transmission protocol enabling real-time remote acquisition of the vibration response as recorded by twenty-nine accelerometers at a 256 Sps sampling rate. Several instrumentation layouts were utilized to assess the global multi-span response using a stationary sensor array as well as the spatially refined response of a single span using roving sensors and reference-based techniques. Subsequent structural identification using FE modeling and iterative updating through comparison with the experimental analysis is then documented to demonstrate the inherent value in dynamic response measurement across structural systems using high-rate wireless sensor networks.

본 논문은 상관형 위상비교(correlative interferometer) 방향탐지 장치의 정확도 분석용 시뮬레이터 설계에 대하여 기술하였다. 상관형 위상비교 방향탐지는 잡음에 강인하므로 안테나 설치가 복잡한 항공기나 함정 등에서 많이 사용되며 방향탐지 정확도가 매우 높다. 또한 전파가 특정 방위각에서 입사될 때 잡음이 없는 환경에서 계산한 위상차와 잡음이 있는 실제 환경에서 측정한 위상차를 융합하여 상관계수가 가장 큰 값을 전파의 방위각으로 추정하는 방식이다. 시뮬레이터는 전파의 주파수, 방탐장치 안테나 수, 안테나 좌표, 전파의 송신신호 세기, 수신기의 대역폭, 이득, 플랫폼(platform)의 전파간섭 등을 입력으로 받아서 0-360도 방위각과 0-60도 고각에 대한 방향탐지 정확도를 계산한다. 시뮬레이터는 실제 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 요소를 대부분 반영하였으므로 방향탐지 오차 분석이 0.5도 이하로 정확하고 함정과 항공기의 방탐장치 설계에 잘 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

화학물질의 사용 증대와 더불어 위험물 및 독성가스 누출 사고가 빈번하게 일어나고 있다. 그 중에서도 위험물 저장설비 사고는 누출이 감지되었을 때 대응하기 위한 초동 조치가 가장 중요하지만, 전적으로 조업자에 의한 경험에 비중이 크기 때문에, 잘못된 판단으로 인한 더 큰 물적, 인적 피해가 발생할 가능성이 높다. 본 연구는 기존 고정식 감지기를 통한 알람 발생 후 수동적인 대응을 취하는 현 접근 방식에서 벗어나, 오픈소스기술을 적용하여 쉽게 제작이 가능한 로봇 플랫폼에서 작동하는 이동식 센서를 활용한 능동적인 누출원 추적 시스템을 설계하였다. 아울러 프로토타입 시스템의 검증을 통해 누출 초기의 정확한 현장 상황파악 및 조기대응을 바탕으로 사고의 확산 및 피해 최소화의 기틀을 마련하고자 하였다.
