The conventional discrete circuit for ABS/TCS system was examined and the problems of the system were analyzed by computer simulation. In order to improve the performance of ABS/TCS system, interface IC which has error compensation, comparator and under voltage lock-out circuit was designed and their electrical characteristics were investigated. The voltage regulator was included to compensate the temperature variation in the temperature range from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$ for automobile environment. ABS and brake signal were separated using the duty factor of same frequency or different frequencies. UVLO(Under Voltage Lock-Out) circuit and constant current circuit were applied for the elimination of noise, and protection circuit was applied to cut the excess current off. Layout for IC fabrication was designed to enhance the electrical performance of ABS/TCS system. Layout was consisted of 11 masks, arrayed effectively 8 pads to reduce the current loss. We can see that the result of layout simulation was better than the result of bread board.

An automotive IC voltage regulator which consists of one-chip based on a metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is investigated experimentally with three types of packaging. The closed type is filled with thermal silicone gel and covered with a plastic lid on the MOSFET. The half-closed type is covered with a plastic case but without thermal silicone gel on the MOSFET. Opened type is no lid without thermal silicone gel. In order to simulate the high temperature condition in engine bay, the operating circuit of the MOSFET is constructed and the surrounding temperature is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$. In the overshoot the maximum was mainly found at the half-closed packaging and the magnitude is dependent on the packaging type and the surrounding temperature. Also the impressed current decreased exponentially during the MOSFET operation.

PSPICE modeling of a commercial LED driver IC (TOP245P) and PC817A optocoupler is proposed for the switch-mode power supply (SMPS) (applicable to LED driver) design and simulation. An analog behavioral model of the TOP245P IC including the shunt regulator, under-voltage(UV) detection, over-voltage(OV) shut-down and SR flip-flop is developed by using PSPICE. The empirical equation of PC817A current transfer ratio (CTR) is fitted from the datasheet of PC817A. Two types of SMPSs are simulated with the averaged-model and switching-model. The simulation results by the proposed PSPICE models are in good agreement with those in the data sheet and an experimental data.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), a negative regulator of insulin signaling, has served as a potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The MeOH extracts of twenty-nine medicinal plants, traditionally used in Vietnam as anti-diabetes agents, were investigated for PTP1B inhibitory activity in vitro. The results indicated that, most materials showed moderate to strong inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from $3.4\;{\mu}g/mL$ to $35.1\;{\mu}g/mL$; meanwhile, eleven extracts (37.9%) could demonstrate PTP1B activity with $IC_{50}$ values less than $15.5\;{\mu}g/mL$; sixteen extracts (55.2%) could demonstrate PTP1B activity with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from $15.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ to $35.1\;{\mu}g/mL$. The study may provide a proof, at least in a part, for the ethno-medical use in diabetes disease of these plants.

This paper advances the software, hardware and mechanical design that the visually impaired can recognize the position and distance of the obstacle while walking. The first software implementation is proposed a method to implement the algorithm graph for the ratio of the distance measuring ultrasonic sensors for voltage. And it was extracted by the precise distance measuring parameter values from simulation to measure the precise distance. Second hardware implementation was designed to be able to detect obstacles in a relatively simple sensor-based walking aid for the visually impaired. In addition, using the switching regulator IC of high performance it was designed to be used to boost the Li-ion battery 3.7V to 5V. The third mechanism was developed by analyzing the sensor angle and the cane angle.

Microphones can convert received voice signals to electric signals. They have been widely used in various industries such as radios, smart devices and vehicles. Recently, the demands for small size and high sensitive microphones are increased according to the minimization of wireless earphone with the development of smart phone. A MEMS system is a good candidate for an ultra-small size microphone of a next generation and a read out IC for high sensitive MEMS sensor is researched from many industries and academies. Since the microphone system has a high sensitivity from environment noise and electric system noise, the system requires a low noise power supply and some low noise design techniques. In this paper, a low noise LDO is presented for small size MEMS microphone systems. The input supply voltage of the LDO is 1.5-3.6V, and the output voltage is 1.3V. Then, it can support to 5mA in the light load condition. The integrated output noise of proposed LDO form 20Hz to 20kHz is about 1.9uV. These post layout simulation results are performed with TSMC 0.18um CMOS technology and the size of layout is 325㎛ × 165㎛.
