The subfornical organ (SFO) is one of circumventricular organs characterized by the lack of a normal blood brain barrier. The SFO neurons are exposed to circulating glutamate ($60{\sim}100{\mu}M$), which may cause excitotoxicity in the central nervous system. However, it remains unclear how SFO neurons are protected from excitotoxicity caused by circulating glutamate. In this study, we compared the glutamate-induced whole cell currents in SFO neurons to those in hippocampal CA1 neurons using the patch clamp technique in brain slice. Glutamate ($100{\mu}M$) induced an inward current in both SFO and hippocampal CA1 neurons. The density of glutamate-induced current in SFO neurons was significantly smaller than that in hippocampal CA1 neurons (0.55 vs. 2.07 pA/pF, p<0.05). To further identify the subtype of the glutamate receptors involved, the whole cell currents induced by selective agonists were then compared. The current densities induced by AMPA (0.45 pA/pF) and kainate (0.83 pA/pF), non-NMDA glutamate receptor agonists in SFO neurons were also smaller than those in hippocampal CA1 neurons (2.44 pA/pF for AMPA, p<0.05; 2.34 pA/pF for kainate, p< 0.05). However, the current density by NMDA in SFO neurons was not significantly different from that of hippocampal CA1 neurons (1.58 vs. 1.47 pA/pF, p>0.05). These results demonstrate that glutamate-mediated action through non-NMDA glutamate receptors in SFO neurons is smaller than that of hippocampal CA1 neurons, suggesting a possible protection mechanism from excitotoxicity by circulating glutamate in SFO neurons.

최근 OFDM시스템의 부반송파의 묶음을 각각 다른 사용자에게 할당하는 다중접속 기법인 OFDMA 기법이 멀티미디어 통신의 무선 다중 접속 능력 때문에 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 기존의 OFDM 통신 시스템에서 채널을 통과한 수신신호를 복조할 때 여러 가지 방법을 사용하는데, 채널을 통과할 때 CFO(carrier frequency offset)와 샘플링을 할 때 SFO(sampling frequency offset)이 생기게 된다. 이러한 주파수 오프셋 때문에 복조를 할 때 정확한 신호를 검출 할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 다중 사용자 환경인 OFDMA에서 이 CFO와 SFO에 대한 영향력을 감소하는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 CFO로 인하여 MUI(multi user interface)가 생기는데 이는 서로 다른 사용자들 간의 간섭으로 인해 생기는 것으로 일종의 잡음(nosie)라고 볼 수 있다. 이 MUI에 관한 것을 재귀적인 알고리즘을 사용하여 상쇄(cancellation)하고 또 CFO와 SFO에 대한 값을 추정하고 최소화하여 기존의 CFO와 SFO가 일어난 OFDM의 신호에 대한 검출보다 더 좋게 검출을 할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

기존의 속도센서가 없는 유도전동기의 고정자자속 기준제어 구동시스템에서, 추정된 속도는 저역통과필터의 사용으로 과도기에 지연이 생긴다. 이 지연으로 인한 응답속도의 과도한 오버슈트를 방지하기 위하여 속도제어기의 이득은 작아야 하는데, 이 때문에 부하토크의 영향을 크게 받게 된다. 본 논문에서는 부하토크 관측기와 전향제어를 사용하여 속도센서가 없는 시스템을 위한 강인한 속도제어기를 설계하였다.

In a conventional speed sensorless Stator Flux Oriented(SFO) induction machine drive system, the estimated speed is delayed in transients by the use of a low pass filter(LPF). To prevent extreme overshoot caused by this delay, PI controller gains should be small, which consequently is greatly affected by disturbance torque. In this paper, by taking advantage of disturbance torque observer and feedforward control, robust speed controller is designed for speed sensorless SFO system. The proposed method is verified by the simulation results.

In a conventional speed sensorless stator flux­oriented (SFO) induction machine drive system, the estimated speed is delayed in transients by the use of a low pass filter. This paper investigates the problem of a conventional speed sensorless SFO system due to the delay of the estimated speed in the field weakening region. In addition, this paper proposes a method to estimate exactly speed by using Kalman filter. The proposed method is verified by simulation and experiment with a 5-hp induction motor drive.

This paper proposes an improved carrier frequency offset (CFO) and sampling frequency offset (SFO) estimation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based broadcasting system with cyclic delay diversity (CDD) antenna. By exploiting a periodic nature of channel transfer function, cyclic delay and pilot pattern with a maximum channel power are carefully chosen, which helps to enable a robust estimation of CFO and SFO against the frequency selectivity of the channel. As a performance measure, a closed-form expression for the achievable mean square error of the proposed scheme is derived and is verified through simulations using the parameters of the digital radio mondiale standard. The comparison results show that the proposed frequency estimator is shown to benefit from properly selected delay parameter and pilot pattern, with a performance better than the existing estimator.

In a conventional speed sensorless stator flux-oriented(SFO) induction motor drive system, when the estimated speed is transformed into the sample-data model using the first-forward difference approximation, the sampled data model has a modeling error which, in turn, produces an error in the rotor speed estimation. The error included in the estimated speed is removed by the use of a low pass filter (LPF). As the result, the delay of the estimated speed occurs in transients by the use of the LPF This paper investigates the problem of a conventional speed sensorless SFO system due to the delay of estimated speed in the filed weakening region. In addition, this paper proposes a method to estimate exactly speed by using Luenberger observer, The proposed method is verified by experiment with a 5-hp induction motor drive.

It is important to estimate the rotor speed for field weakening operation in the speed sensorless stator flux oriented (SFO) induction motor drive. Several methods have been reported to estimate exactly the speed in the speed sensorless system. In this paper, we apply two observer-based methods, the Luenberger observer (LO) and the Kalman filter (KF), to SFO induction motor drive in order to achieve a speed sensorless operation in field weakening region. Two control methods are reviewed and discussed. The operation characteristics of these methods in the field weakening region is compared by simulation and experiment.

기존의 속도센서가 없는 유도전동기의 고정자자속 기준제어에서 추정된 속도가 이산화 될 때, 이산화에 의한 모델링오차 때문에 회전자속도 추정에 오차가 발생한다. 이 오차는 저역통과필터에 의해 제거되지만 추정된 속도는 과도상태에서 지연이 발생해서 약계자영역으로의 천이가 지연되는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 고정자자속 기준제어 속도 센서리스 시스템의 약계자영역에서 추정된 속도의 지연으로 발생하는 문제점을 고찰하고 또한 루엔버거관측기를 사용하여 정확한 속도 추정을 학 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

In a conventional stator flux-oriented(SFO) induction machine drive system, the field weakening method is to vary flux reference in proportion to the inverse of the rotor speed. This paper investigates that maximum torque capability cannot be obtained in the conventional system and proposes a new selection method of flux reference to obtain maximum torque capability over the field weakening region by considering voltage, torque, and current limits.
