The rigorous requirements of modern spacecraft missions necessitate a precise attitude determination strategy. This paper mainly researches that, based on three space-borne attitude sensors: 3-axis rate gyros, 3-antenna GPS receiver and star-sensor. To obtain global attitude estimation after an information fusion process, a feedback-involved Federated Kalman Filter (FKF), consisting of two subsystem Kalman filters (Gyros/GPS and Gyros/Star-sensor), is established. In these filters, the state equation is implemented according to the spacecraft's kinematic attitude model, while the residual error models of GPS and star-sensor observed attitude are utilized, to establish two observation equations, respectively. Taking the sensors' different update rates into account, these two subsystem filters are conducted under a variable step size state prediction method. To improve the fault tolerant capacity of the attitude determination system, this paper designs malfunction warning factors, based on the principle of ${\chi}^2$ residual verification. Mathematical simulation indicates that the information fusion strategy overwhelms the disadvantages of each sensor, acquiring global attitude estimation with precision at a 2-arcsecs level. Although a subsystem encounters malfunction, FKF still reaches precise and stable accuracy. In this process, malfunction warning factors advice malfunctions correctly and effectively.

Leukocytes in blood components are involved in diverse adverse transfusion reactions such as febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions. Therefore, leukocyte reduction is required to reduce these adverse reactions. The objective of this study was to compare the efficiency of pre-storage filtration and post-storage filtration. Filtration time, residual leukocyte count, RBC recovery, and hemolysis were assessed after pre-storage or post-storage filtration. Compared to pre-storage filtration, filtration time was prolonged and hemolysis was dramatically increased when post-storage filtration was performed. Residual leukocytes count and RBC recovery after post-storage filtration were similar with those obtained after pre-storage filtration. These results suggest that pre-storage filtration has better efficiency than post-storage filtration. These are thought to contribute to the production of better quality of leukoreduction blood components.

Designing an ozone contactor is complicated because the residual ozone, log C. parvum inactivation, and bromate formation should be optimized with fluctuating water quality. OCM software was developed to assist a plant designer or an operator to fulfill the sophisticated optimization required in the design or operation of a new or an existing plant. In this article, numerical simulations were carried out using the OCM software for the design of a new ozone contactor under diverse design factors (i.e., three pHs, three temperatures, low and high dispersion numbers, and four and ten cells with complete mixing) with kinetic parameters obtained from the sand-filter effluent of a water treatment plant treating water from the Paldang impoundment. The results of the simulation suggested that a high residual ozone concentration at low pH and low temperature would be challenging, and PFR-like hydrodynamics could lower the residual ozone concentration. The inactivation of C. parvum oocysts increased at a lower pH. A lower dispersion number and more cell division increased the inactivation efficiency. Bromate was instantaneously formed during the initial ozonation stage. The effluent concentration was much lower than the regulatory levels imposed by the USEPA because of the low bromide level in raw water.

The reinforced concrete (RC) structures usually suffer large residual displacements under strong motions. The large residual displacements may substantially reduce the anti-seismic capacity of structures during the aftershock and increase the difficulty and cost of structural repair after an earthquake. To reduce the adverse residual displacement, several self-centering energy dissipation braces (SCEBs) have been proposed to be installed to the RC structures. To investigate the seismic responses of the RC structures with SCEBs under the earthquake excitation, an extended Bouc-Wen model with degradation and self-centering effects is developed in this study. The extended model realized by MATLAB/Simulink program is able to capture the hysteretic characteristics of the RC structures with SCEBs, such as the energy dissipation and the degradation, especially the self-centering effect. The predicted hysteretic behavior of the RC structures with SCEBs based on the extended model, which used the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for parameter identification, is compared with the experimental results. Comparison results show that the predicted hysteretic curves can be in good agreement with the experimental results. The nonlinear dynamic analyses using the extended model are then carried out to explore the seismic performance of the RC structures with SCEBs. The analysis results demonstrate that the SCEB can effectively reduce the residual displacements of the RC structures, but slightly increase the acceleration.

Take-out robots used for handling of the plastic parts manufactured with the injection mold are usually the gantry type that consists of long and thin links, The performance of the take-out robot is determined by the speed of the motion and the positioning accuracy to grab the part out of the mold, As the speed of the robot increases the flexure in the links of the take-out robot becomes more significant and it results in more residual vibration, The residual vibration deteriorates the positioning accuracy and compels the operator to slow down the motion of the robot. The typical method to reduce the vibration in the robot requires stiffening the links and/or slowing down the robot, Vibration control could achieve the desired performance without increasing the manufacturing cost or the operation cost that would be incurred otherwise, Considering the point-to-point nature of the task to be performed by the take-out robot the time-delay command (or input) shaping filter approach would be the most effective control method to be adopted among a few available control schemes. In this paper a direct adaptive command shaping filter (ACSF) algorithm has been modified and applied to design the optimal command shaping filters for various configuration of the take-out robot. Optimal filters designed by ACSF algorithm have been implemented on a take-out robot and the effectiveness of the designed filters in terms of vibration suppression has been verified for multiple positions of the robot.

본 논문에서는 기존 MMA 적응 등화 알고리즘의 안정성과 낮은 신호대 잡음비에서 robustness를 개선하기 위해 adaptive modulus와 miniumum-disturbance 기법을 적용한 AM-SCS-MMA (Adaptive Modulus-Soft Constraint Satisfaction-MMA) 알고리즘의 성능을 해석하였다. AM-SCS-MMA는 적응 등화를 비용 함수를 최소화하기 위해 adaptive modulus와 기존의 LMS 나 gradient descent algorithm 대신 deterministic optimization problem의 minimum-disturbance 기법을 적용하여 탭 계수를 갱신하므로서 채널에서 발생되는 진폭과 위상 찌그러짐에 의한 부호간 간섭을 동시에 줄이면서 등화 필터의 안정성 및 다양한 잡음에 대한 roburstness를 개선시킬 수 있다. 이의 개선 성능을 확인하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 등화기 출력 성상도, 잔류 isi, MSE와 채널 추적 능력을 나타내는 EMSE (Excess MSE) 및 SER을 적용하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션의 결과 AM-SCS-MMA는 MMA보다 잔류 isi와 MSE에서는 수렴 속도는 늦지만 정상 상태 이후 잔여량이 감소되고 열악한 신호대 잡음비에서 robustness가 있었지만, 채널 추적 능력에서는 열화됨을 확인하였다.

The point-of-use water dispenser systems are widely used because of convenience in handling and demand for high-quality drinking water. The application has been increased recently in the public places such as department stores, universities and the rest areas in express ways. Improvement of water qualities by the dispenser systems was compared with tap water in this study. The tap water is supplied to the dispenser as the influent of the dispenser system. The twelve dispensers in the public places were used. The five dispensers used reverse osmosis as the main filter and other dispensers used various filters such as ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and alumina filter. The water quality indicators for sanitation safety, i.e., turbidity and total coliforms, were evaluated. Other water qualities such as pH, residual chlorine, heterotrophic plate count (HPC), and total cell counts were also analyzed. By the point-of-use water dispenser, the turbidity, residual chlorine and pH were decreased and the HPC and total cell counts were increased. The t-test results revealed that the HPC of the tap waters were not significantly different from the treated waters but the total cell counts of the two groups were significantly different. The low pH of the RO filter treatment was also significantly different from the tap waters. This study will contribute to understand the role of the point-of-use water dispenser in improving water quality and to identify key water quality for the proper maintenance of the dispenser systems.

본 논문에서는 잡음에 의해 열화된 오디오 신호를 가변 임계값을 이용한 적응 지각 필터를 사용하여 음질을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 적응 지각 필터는 신호 구간마다 달라지는 신호의 세기와 잡음의 영향 정도를 고려하여 임계값을 가변적으로 조정함으로써 잔여 잡음을 효과적으로 제어하는 방식으로 지각적으로 개선된 음질의 신호를 얻을 수 있다 제안한 방식은 잡음에 의해 열화된 오디오 신호를 주파수 영역으로 변환한 후 임계 대역 기반의 임계 대역 에너지 (Critical intensity energy)와 마스킹 영향이 고려된 청각 자극 에너지 (Excitation energy)를 계산한 다음, 지각 필터를 기반으로 한 적응 지각 필터 알고리즘으로 각 단계별 지각 필터 응답을 임계값으로 이용하여 가변 임계값이 재조정되는 단계를 결정하게 된다. 신호의 구간별 에너지 크기에 의한 잡음에 의해 열화된 정도의 차이를 가변 임계값을 이용하여 고려함으로써 잔여 잡음의 효과적인 제어가 가능하게 된다. 제안한 방법은 다양한 신호대 잡음비에서 열화된 오디오 신호를 입력으로 사용하였다. 입력 신호대 잡음비가 15dB, 20dB, 25dB와 30dB의 각각의 경우에 대하여 잡음대 마스킹비 (Noise-to-mask ratio, NMR)와 청감 테스트 (Mean opinion score, MOS Test)를 시행하였다. 그 결과, 잡음대 마스킹비의 개선 측면에서 각각의 경우에 대해 17.4dB, 15.3dB, 12.8dB, 9.8dB의 개선을 확인할 수 있었고, 청감 테스트의 개선 측면에서는 각각 2.9, 2.5, 2.3, 1.7의 개선된 음질을 확인할 수 있었다.
