In this paper an optical power meter using Hadamard transform, which can be used in multiple channel optical elements alignment system, is proposed. A traditional optical power meter in multiple channel optical elements alignment system is able to judge how well the elements are aligned each other by measuring optical power of the first and the last two channels with at least two detectors. It has critical drawback that the alignment accuracy per channel is dependent on the number of detectors. The proposed optical power meter can get noise reduction by the Hadamard transform based multiplexing technique. The Hadamard transform based multiplexing technique using spatial light modulators is distinguished by the best enhancement of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the reconstructed signals. Moreover, the noise reduction increases with increasing the order of multiplexing, namely the number of optical element channels. The proposed system is implemented by PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) mask which is operated by electric filed and generates optimal multiplexing patterns based on the Hadamard transform and single detector. It means that we obtain not only the each channel's optical power of multiple channel elements at once but also the best enhancement of SNR with single detector. Experimental results show that the proposed optical power meter is suitable for an active optical alignment system for multiple channel optical elements.

This paper presents 6bit 250MS/s flash A/D converter which can be applied to wireless communication system. To solve the problem of large power consumption in flash A/D converter, control algorithm by input signal level is used in comparator stage. Also, input voltage range detector circuit is used in reference resistor array to minimize the dynamic power consumption in the comparator. Compared with the conventional A/D converter, the proposed A/D converter shows 4.3% increase of power consumption in analog and a seventh power consumption in digital, which leads to a half of power consumption in total. The A/D converter is implemented in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 1-poly 6-metal technology. The measured results show 106mW power dissipation with 1.8V supply voltage. It shows 4.1bit ENOB at sampling frequency 250MHz and 30.27MHz input frequency.

We demonstrate a laser power meter calibration system based on 12-diode laser sources coupled to single-mode fibres in a wavelength range from 400 to 1,600 nm. In our system, three laser power controllers ensure that the output power uncertainty of all laser sources is less than 0.1% (k=2). In addition, all laser beams are adjusted to have similar beam sizes of approximately 2 mm (1/e²-width) at the measurement position to minimise unmeasured laser power on a detector. As a reference detector, we use an integrating sphere combined with silicon and indium gallium arsenide photodiodes to minimise the non-uniformity and non-linearity of responsivity. The minimum uncertainty of the calibration system is estimated to be 1.1% (k=2) for most laser wavelengths.

For screening test of the non-volatile compounds which migrate from food packaging materials into foodstuffs, the traditional high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems suffer from the lack of universal detector with high sensitivity and universality and high efficiency HPLC separation column which provides complete separation of complex mixtures into all individual substances. In this work, the use possibility of online two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) system coupled with a charged aerosol detector (CAD), a universal detector, was reviewed. 2D-LC system permits to improve peak capacity and resolving power for complex mixtures. Charged aerosol detector (CAD) offers a new feasibility for detection of any non-volatile compounds with high sensitivity and constant response factor in a calibration range. The combination of size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and normal phase HPLC (NP-HPLC) is most frequently used for the separation of the natural and synthetic polymers which are mainly used as raw materials for the manufacture of food packaging materials. However, there is no commercial software available for data acquisition and handling and therefore the quantification in 2D-LC analysis is still rare.

This paper describes a full-wave rectifiers for energy harvesting circuit using vibration detector. The designed circuit operates only when the vibration is detected through the vibration detector and the active diode. When there is no vibration, the comparator is turned off to prevent leakage of energy stored in the $C_{STO}$. The energy stored in the capacitor is used to drive the level converter and the active diode. The energy stored in the capacitor is supplied to an active diode designed as an output power. The vibration detector is implemented with Schmitt Trigger and Peak Detector with Hysteresis function. The proposed circuit is designed in a CMOS 0.35um technology and its functionality has been verified through extensive simulations. The designed chip occupies $590{\mu}m{\times}583{\mu}m$.

For the development of fire detector equipments that was fused independent type of fire detector and a wireless communication function, this paper adopted a signal processing method of an independent formation fire sensor by a ZigBee communication method, and it was designed that the combinations of fire detector and wireless communications network were enabled. When a fire occurred, output voltage of a fire detector was 0.4 V, the movement pulse width was $600{\mu}s$, and that was confirmed by an experiment. When it has lookout state, LED worked by 30 s cycle and working current is 0.12 mA. When a fire occurred, LED worked by 0.5 s cycle and working current was 7 mA, and through this experiment of power source, Chamber tester, smoke tester,IRED, LED lighting, the propriety of the method that we showed in this paper confirmed.

The performance of two-channel adaptive noise canceller is ofter degraded by the weights perturbation due to the speech signal. In this paper, an adaptive noise canceller employing a speech detector and two adaptation algorithms which are switched according to the speech detector is proposed. When highly correlated speech signal is detected, the tap weights of the adaptive filter are adapted by the sign algorithm. On the other hand, the weights are adapted by the NLMS algorithm when silence is detected or when the characteristics of the noise propagation channel is changed. The employed speech detector utilizes the power ratio of the input and the output of an adaptive linear prediction-error filter. According to the computer simulation, the proposed method yields better performance than conventional ones.

In this paper a subspace-based blind interference cancellation is proposed and its performance is analyzed. Then the blind adaptive implementation is devolped using the improved natural power method which is the signal subspace tracking algorithm. The theoretical analysis shows that when the exact covariance matrix is kown the performance of the proposed detector is the same as that of the decorrelating detector. And when the covariance matrix is estimated the asymptotic results are examined. The results of computer simulation demonstrate that the proposed detector outperforms the previous blind adaptive RLS MOE detector.

This paper presents a new active antenna consisting of a microstrip patch for the passive radiator, a mixer for frequency conversion, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and a phase detector for phase control. The microwave signal frequency has been converted into intermediate frequency (IF) on the antenna elements by the mixer. The active antenna consists of two ports, the IF port has a transmitted IF signal via power combined to the baseband and the dc control port is under the control of the phase-detector. The input voltage of the VCO is controlled by the phase detector. The scan range of the array is determined by the phase detector and the VCO and is obtained between 30$^{\circ}$ and - 30$^{\circ}$

In the PANBOX 2 system an excore detector module simulating the excore signal responses during a short term transient is implemented in order to simulate the reaction of the flux detector and control system upon rapid power changes as it occurs e. g, in rod drop events. This module has been verified in the past by comparison calculations with the PANBOX 1 system. This report describes additional PANBOX 2 validation calculations which have bee compared with experiment data measured at german plant KKG, cycle 1, for a rod drop event. In general, the PANBOX 2 results are in very good agreement with the KKG experiments. Therefore it is concluded that the excore detector model of PANBOX 2 is successfully validated.
