For the exact classification of the arm motion this paper proposes EMG pattern recognition method with neural network. For this autoregressive coefficient, linear cepstrum coefficient, and adaptive cepstrum coefficient are selected for the feature parameter of EMG signal, and they are extracted from time series EMG signal. For the function recognition of the feature parameter a radial basis function network, a field of neural network is designed. For the improvement of recognition rate, a number of radial basis function network are combined in parallel, comparing with a backpropagation neural network an existing method.

A fault is considered as a variation of physical parameters; therefore the design of fault detection and identification(FDI) can be reduced to the parameter identification of a non linear system and to the association of the set of the estimated parameters with the mode of faults. ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) which contains multiple linear models as consequent part is used to model non linear systems. In this paper, we proposes an FDI system for non linear systems using ANFIS. The proposed diagnositc system consists of two ANFISs which operate in two different modes (parallel-and series-parallel mode). It generates the parameter residuals associated with each modes of faults which can be further processed by additional RBF (Radial Basis function) network to identify the faults. The proposed FDI scheme has been tested by simultation on a two-tank system

A charge equalization converter with parallel-connected primary windings of transformers is proposed in digest. The proposed work effectively balance the voltage among Lithium-Ion battery cells despite each battery cell has low voltage gap compared with its SOC. The principle of the proposed work is that the equalizing energy from all battery strings moves to the lowest voltage battery through the isolated dc/dc converter controlled by the corresponding bi-directional switch. In this digest, a prototype of four Lithium-Ion battery cells is optimally designed and implemented, and experimental results show that the proposed method has excellent cell balancing performance.

This paper presents a new ZCS-PWM high frequency inverter. Zero current switching operation is achieved in the whole load range by using a simple auxiliary reverse blocking switch in parallel with series resonant capacitor. Dual duty cycle control scheme is used to provide a wide range of high frequency AC output power regulation that is important in many high frequency inverter applications. It found that a complete soft switching operation can be achieved even for low power setting ranges by introducing high-frequency dual duty cycle control scheme. The proposed high frequency inverter is more suitable for consumer induction heating(IH) applications. The operation and control principle of the proposed high frequency inverter are described and verified through simulated results.

We improved quench properties of a superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) components based on YBCO thin films. This consists of three components with nearly identical properties and one with slightly difference properties. The units were connected in series and first of parallel to increase the current and voltage ratings. It have caused significantly imbalanced power distribution. The imbalance remarkably improved by connecting a shunt reactor to the SFCL component in parallel.

This work investigated the characteristics of a packed-bed plasma reactor system and the performances of the plasma reactors connected in series or in parallel for the decomposition of ethylene. Before the discharge ignition, the effective capacitance of the ${\gamma}$-alumina packed-bed plasma reactor was larger than that of the reactor without any packing, but after the ignition the effective capacitance was similar to each other, regardless of the packing. The energy of electrons created by plasma depends mainly on the electric field intensity, and was not significantly affected by the gas composition in the range of 0~20% (v/v) oxygen (nitrogen : 80~100% (v/v)). Among the various reactive species generated by plasma, ground-state atomic oxygen and ozone are understood to be primarily involved in oxidation reactions, and as the electric field intensity increases, the amount of ground-state atomic oxygen relatively decreases while that of nitrogen atom increases. Even though there are many parameters affecting the performance of the plasma reactor such as a voltage, discharge power, gas flow rate and residence time, all parameters can be integrated into a single parameter, namely, specific input energy (SIE). It was experimentally confirmed that the performances of the plasma reactors connected in series or in parallel could be treated as a function of SIE alone, which simplifies the scale-up design procedure. Besides, the ethylene decomposition results can be predicted by the calculation using the rate constant expressed as a function of SIE.

Time series data is a sequence of data points, measured typically at successive, spaced at time intervals. Many devices for an efficient exploration is developed according as the items of time series data increase. Among these devices, there is a Timebox widget as a representative device of dynamic query for interactive data exploration. Timeboxes are rectangular query region of interest. The users can draw the region of interest using simple mouse manipulation and the query result sets is displayed. But there is a limitation to represent the concrete query region and Timeboxes visualize the query region inconsistent with the mental model of users. To resolve these problems, we propose a new device called DQB(Dynamic Query Band). DQB is a qeury region consisting of user defined polyline with a thickness on time series data. This device is possible to concretely specify the query region. Also, it provides a simple and convenient interface and a good conceptual model.

The resistive type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is a current limiter using the Quench mechanism of superconductors. When Quench occurs in superconductors, the resistance of superconductors increases abruptly. In order to increase SFCL capacity, current limiting elements were connected in series. If the Quench current of each element was different, voltage distribution was imbalanced. This imbalance could be removed by arrangement including series and parallel connection of elements. Based on this result, an SFCL of 1.8kV/50A was designed and experimented, expecially, in terms of increasing the voltage rating.

The transformer is fabricated with two piezoelectric vibrator with the divided electrodes and adhesive insulator. We applied the electric input to the driving vibrator in parallel and connect the output voltage to the generating vibrator in series to the resistor load near its fundamental resonance frequency. Then we investigate output voltage in series twice as large as in parallal. Moreover we investigate the load characteristics at resonance frequencies under various resistor and the frequency characteristics near the resonance frequency under no load. Its equvalent circuit is derived from the Mason's model of a thickness-driven piezelectric vibrator. By its equevalent circuit, symbolic expressions for input impedances, voltage ratios, resonance frequencies, and bandwidths have been derived. The values calculated from those symbolic exprssions are shown to agree well with the measurement values.

This paper studies a soft switching DC/DC converter to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) for all switches under a wide range of load condition and input voltage. Two three-level PWM circuits with the same power switches are adopted to reduce the voltage stress of MOSFETs at $V_{in}/2$ and achieve load current sharing. Thus, the current stress and power rating of power semiconductors at the secondary side are reduced. The series-connected transformers are adopted in each three-level circuit. Each transformer can be operated as an inductor to smooth the output current or a transformer to achieve the electric isolation and power transfer from the input side to the output side. Therefore, no output inductor is needed at the secondary side. Two center-tapped rectifiers connected in parallel are used at the secondary side to achieve load current sharing. Due to the resonant behavior by the resonant inductance and resonant capacitance at the transition interval, all switches are turned on at ZVS. Experiments based on a 1kW prototype are provided to verify the performance of proposed converter.
