In onshore and offshore plant engineering, a broad use of pipe system have been achieved and accordingly related technologies has been developed especially in the field of flow control valves. The aim of this study is to suggest the quadruple offset butterfly valve for bi-directional applications which show equivalent operating torque characteristics of the triple offset butterfly valve. Seat design parameters for the quadruple offset butterfly valve are determined by the proposed method utilizing both ANOVA (analysis of variance) and the orthogonal array. Through additive model considering the effect of design parameters on seating torque, mean estimation is performed and thus its optimization results are verified by design of experiment results. The insight obtained from the present study is beneficial for valve design engineers to develop reliable and integrated design of the quadruple offset butterfly valve.

Butterfly valves installed on ships use valves with up to triple offset to improve tightness. However, the triple offset valve has structural problems such as disc deformation and seat separation. Accordingly, interest in quadruple offset butterfly valves with added offset is increasing. In this study, the structural safety of the quadruple offset butterfly valve was examined through numerical analysis. In addition, we intend to evaluate the performance of the valve through flow coefficient analysis.

Because of industrial development, industrial facilities are becoming more complex and diversified. Plant industries are focused on productivity improvement, cost reduction, and product uniformity by simplifying production processes using automated control. Furthermore, plant industries require higher pressures and temperatures to improve energy efficiency. For this reason, the valves used in plants are operated under harsh conditions. Globe valves and gate valves are mainly used for high pressure these days. However, these valves have various problems, including low maintainability and high cost, due to structural problems. Therefore, butterfly and ball valve applications are increasing in industrial plants. This paper suggests a quadruple-offset butterfly valve that is applicable to bi-direction use, and the principle design parameters are suggested. The selected design parameters are an eccentric flange center line and shaft centerline(Offset 1), an eccentric seat centerline and disc shaft centerline(Offset 2), the angle between the flange centerline and seat wedge angle(Offset 3), the angle between the vertical direction of the disc shaft centerline and seat centerline(Offset 4), and the seat engagement angle. To analyze the interaction effect of the design parameters, ANOM and ANOVA were performed with an orthogonal array. The parameters were found to have effects in the following order: Offset 2, Offset 1, engagement angle, Offset 3, and Offset 4. The interaction between the parameters was insignificant.

This paper presents a 18-mW, 2.5-㎓ fractional-N frequency synthesizer with l-bit $4^{th}$-order interpolative delta-sigma ($\Delta{\;}$\sum$)modulator to suppress fractional spurious tones while reducing in-band phase noise. A fractional-N frequency synthesizer with a quadruple prescaler has been designed and implemented in a $0.5-\mu\textrm{m}$ 15-GHz $f_t$ BiCMOS. Synthesizing 2.1 GHzwith less than 200 Hz resolution, it exhibits an in-band phase noise of less than -85 dBc/Hz at 1 KHz offset frequency with a reference spur of -85 dBc and no fractional spurs. The synthesizer also shows phase noise of -139 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 1.2 MHz from a 2.1GHz center frequency.

A fractional-N frequency synthesizer supports quadruple bands and multiple standards for mobile broadcasting systems. A novel linearized coarse tuned VCO adopting a pseudo-exponential capacitor bank structure is proposed to cover the wide bandwidth of 65%. The proposed technique successfully reduces the variations of KVCO and per-code frequency step by 3.2 and 2.7 times, respectively. For the divider and prescaler circuits, TSPC (true single-phase clock) logic is extensively utilized for high speed operation, low power consumption, and small silicon area. Implemented in $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS, the PLL covers $154{\sim}303$ MHz (VHF-III), $462{\sim}911$ MHz (UHF), and $1441{\sim}1887$ MHz (L1, L2) with two VCO's while dissipating 23 mA from 1.8 V supply. The integrated phase noise is 0.598 and 0.812 degree for the integer-N and fractional-N modes, respectively, at 750 MHz output frequency. The in-band noise at 10 kHz offset is -96 dBc/Hz for the integer-N mode and degraded only by 3 dB for the fractional-N mode.

실시간 신호제어군의 결합 및 분리를 통한 실시간 연동신호교차로군 조절은 최근에 강조되고 있는 첨단교통신호제어시스템의 기능 중 하나이다. 필요에 따라 연동축 및 연동방향을 능동적으로 조절하는 과정에서 신호제어군의 실시간 분리 결합 상황이 발생하며, 이때 필수적으로 옵셋을 재조정을 위한 '옵셋전이시간'이 소요된다. 이 때 '옵셋전이시간'이 필요이상 긴 경우 비효율적인 신호운영변수가 장시간 적용됨으로 인하여, 필요이상 짧은 경우 갑작스런 신호시간 변화에 따른 교통흐름 장애 (turbulence)로 인하여 해당 구간 신호제어 운영 효율성이 저하될 수 있다. 현재의 국내 실시간 신호제어시스템은 3주기에서 5주기에 걸쳐 '옵셋전이시간'을 적용할 것을 개략적으로 권고하고 있으나 해당분야에서의 공학적 연구가 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 네 가지 다른 옵셋전이시간(한 주기길이, 두 주기길이, 세 주기길이, 네 주기길이)를 활용하는 네 가지 다른 옵셋전이방법의 성능을 CORSIM 모의실험 환경에서 CORSIM RTE 기능을 이용하여 분석하고 비교하였다. 설정된 총 15가지 상이한 교통소통 상황을 토대로 다양한 무작위난수를 적용하는 모의실험을 수행하며 수집된 평균 차량지체자료를 통계 분석한 결과 한 주기 길이 옵셋전이시간이 본 연구에서 설정된 모든 교통상황에서 기타 옵셋전이시간보다 우수하거나(낮은 지체도) 적어도 동일한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 한 주기 '옵셋전이길이' 적용을 옵셋전이 적용지침으로 사용할 것을 제안한다.
