The examination of pulse, which is a typical palpation technique in the oriental medicine, has been used conventional analog system for discrimination of 28 pulses. However, the clipping phenomenon in the pulses, which used same feature extraction technique with ECG signals, has been occurred in analog system due to feature extraction method and over amplification from the input signals. It caused inaccurate to analyze the pulse signals. In this paper, we propose a digital filter design technique based on Prony's method for signal modeling and C-spline interpolation for feature extraction from pulse signal to compensate analog pulse detection system. In addition, we suggest a compensated electronic pulse detection system comprising new pulse analyzing algorithm and shape analysis technique for pulses, which were difficult to use in analog system. The feasibility for new proposed system has been confirmed comparing output signals between electronic pulse detection system having proposed filter design techniques with pulse analyzing algorithm and conventional analog system.

The One Pass Method (OPM) previously presented for the identification of single input single output systems is used to estimate the parameters of a Decentralized Control System (DCS). The OPM is a linear and therefore a simple estimation method. All of the calculations are performed in one pass, and no initial parameter guess, iteration, or powerful search methods are required. These features are of interest especially when the parameters of multi input-output model are estimated. The benefits of the OPM are revealed by comparing its results against those of two recently published methods based on pulse testing. The comparison is performed using two databases from the literature. These databases include single and multi input-output process transfer functions and relevant disturbances. The closed loop responses of these processes are roughly captured by the previous methods, whereas the OPM gives much more accurate results. If the parameters of a DCS are estimated, the OPM yields the same results in multi or single structure implementation. This is a novel feature, which indicates that the OPM is a convenient and practice method for the parameter estimation of multivariable DCSs.

We demonstrate a simple method to generate a stable 40 GHz pulse train at 1550 nm by spectral filtering of a 10 GHz mode.locked pulse source using a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI). A high finesse FFPI with a 40 GHz free spectral range blocks successfully unwanted spectral components of a 10 GHz pulse source and passes only 40 GHz spaced spectral lines ensuring pulse repetition-frequency quadruplication of the input pulses.

This paper presents a new carrier based pulse-width modulation (PWM) method for matrix converters. By using the concept of average over one switching period, the modulation algorithm and the required equations are derived to synthesize the desired output voltage and to achieve the controlled input power factor. The proposed method uses a continuous carrier and the predetermined duty ratio signals to directly generate the gating signals and, thus, is referred to as "direct duty ratio PWM (DDPWM)". The feasibility and validity of the proposed method were verified by simulation and experiment.

This work was carried out to investigate the welding behavior of thin A3003 Al alloy sheets by Nd : YAG laser beam. Considering bead shape and mechanical properties, the laser pulse shapes selected were two kinds of 2-division and 3-division by varying power level and pulse duration. In order to obtain optimum conditions, the factorial design method and central composite design method were applied. Tensile test, optical microscopy, micro hardness test and TEM analysis were performed. Due to the annealing caused by thermal effect during laser welding, precipitates were coarsended. The HAZ was softened and failed during tensile test. The hardness of HAZ was lower than that of base metal, since the heat input relieved the work hardening effect and caused grain growth.

In order to investigate how the chassis frame stiffness including body structure affects vehicle handling characteristics, in this paper, objective test evaluations such as steady state circle maneuvering test and pulse input transient test are performed. The basic steer characteristics can be obtained from stability factor and 4 parameter method is used to evaluate vehicle handling characteristics between original vehicle and the other with reinforced chassis. The result shows that vehicle with reinforced chassis has advantages in handling characteristics.

In the stochastic structure for doing exact calculationk, an input number must be changed to a pulse stream. Because the performance of random number generator (RNG) is controlled by its initial condition, we suggested newly modified cellular automata (MCA) which is uses a counter for boundary condition. We compared newly suggested MCA RNG to previously reported RNGs using the AND gate passing outputs which have the same meaning of multiplication in the stochastic calculation. In order to use stochastic we studied about the method, one large RNG can generate many small random numbers. In this method, RNG must have large drive capabilities for many input comparator. So we studied about drive capabilities using BiCMOS circuit and CMOS circit by SPICE.
