The performance of an inductive position sensor has approved by previous research papers. In this paper, magnetic circuit model of a ring-type multi-pole insuctive position sensor is described. The magnetic circuit model is required to design in ductive position sensor as well as draw a fault tolerance algorithm. Using the magnetic circuit theory, we derived the relationship between voltage applied and flux density in the normal air-gap. By idealizing the modulation/demodulation processes of signal processing circuit, sensor gain with respect to change of displacement is theoretically calculation using the magnetic circuit model, which validate the theoretical derivation.

In this paper, a wireless spectrum sensing receiver system is proposed. While a conventional Cognitive Radio(CR) system utilizes frequency down-conversion and demodulation to recognize wireless spectral signal, the proposed one is able to recover and sense valid signal at an RF front-end. It has been designed with a super-regeneration type circuit with a channel selectivity and variability for FDM applications with which a conventional single-channel super-regeneration circuit could not provide. From experimental evaluation, the implemented system has been optimized for channel allocation with quenching signal, and verified for 5 MHz-channel spacing.

This paper proposes a dry-type surface myoelectric sensor for the myoelectric hand prosthesis. The designed surface myoelectric sensor is composed of skin interface and processing circuits. The skin interface has one reference and two input electrodes, and the reference electrode is located in the center of two input electrodes. In this paper is proposed two types of sensors with the circle- and bar-shaped reference electrode, but all input electrodes are the bar-shaped. The metal material of the electrodes is the stainless steel (SUS440) that endures sweat and wet conditions. Considering the conduction velocity and the median frequency of the myoelectric signal, the inter-electrode distance (IED) between two input electrodes as 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm is selected. The signal processing circuit consists of a differential amplifier with a band pass filter, a band rejection filter for rejecting 60Hz power-line noise, amplifiers, and a mean absolute value(MAV) circuit. Using SUS440, six prototype skin interface with different reference electrode shape and IED is fabricated, and their output characteristics are evaluated by output signal obtained from the forearm of a healthy subject. The experimental results show that the skin interface with parallel bar shape and the 18mm IED has a good output characteristics. The fabricated dry-type surface myoelectric sensor is evaluated for the upper-limb amputee.

This paper deals with the robust nonlinear controller design using output feedback for a Chua circuit which is one of the well-known nonlinear models. First, an exosystem for reference signal tracking is defined, and error dynamic equations are derived from the differentiation of the output tracking error equation. The normal sliding surface is modified using the integral type servo compensator. The parameters in the equations of the modified sliding surface and servo compensator are determined by using the Hurwitz condition of stability. Especially the error signals can't be obtained directly from the output because all parameters are assumed unknown. So instead, a high gain observer is designed. From this estimated error signals, a stabilizing controller is designed. Simulation is done for demonstrating the effectiveness of the suggested algorithm.

This paper proposed a new magnetic field detection algorithm to detect metal pieces in food producing processes. This algorithm can detect mixed metal pieces by sensing magnetic field. Some metal pieces are passed through an over-current circuit to magnetize them. The magnetic field sensor can detect the change in the magnetic field on theconveyor belt caused by the flow of the metal pieces in the food product. However, such a method detects the output of signals that change their amplitude and phase according to the movement of the conveyor belt with the food product, in which the equilibrium of the positive signal that is created in the receiver coil loses its balance due to the magnetized material. This includes not only the signal elements resulting from the effect of the alternating magnetic fields of the mixed metals, but also the signal elements resulting from the effect of the alternating magnetic fields of the examined object itself.

This paper presents a composite luminance signal processing system for NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. Eaxh of the three standards employs its own specifications of subcarmier bandwidth and luminance signal waveform. The proposed system, compatible to the specifications of the three standard and B/W TV, implements variable freqneucy characteristics by controlling filter coefficients. The major features of the system are a luminance/chroma separation unit and an aperture compensation unit. The luminance/chroma separation unit employes a notch filter selection a trap freqneyc to atenuate unwanted color signals in luminance signal bands. The aperture compensation unit comprises two subunits, to provide clear color definition for each of the three standards: a primary compensation circuit and a variable compensation circuits. The proposed system yields a 40 dB gain from the chroma/luminance separation and a 10 dB gain from the aperture compensation unit.

This paper presents an digital based input/output interface circuit for controlling and monitoring the Diesel Engine Generator for emergency. In order to monitor and control of the Emergency Diesel Engine Generator, controlling and monitoring circuits need 5 analog input channels, 2 pick-up coil measuring circuits, 10 digital input channels containing Broken Wire Detect function, and 7 relay control signal output channels. This system performs signal processing of input signal taking advantage of simple filter circuit, photo-coupler and comparator circuit at analog input parts, and output signals for main relay is designed acting by double control, so it prevents malfunction completely. And it improves accuracy of speed input signal by applying digital circuit that processes rick-up coil signal.

We can monitor home from any remote location using our existing telephone line. We have already some technologies to perform these types of application such as: Bluetooth, IR. But these are used in a limited area which we can easily come over in our system. Our propose system has two sections one is Remote Section (RS) where the client will place the request and another is Local Section (LS) where the telephone line is connected with an Input Interfacing Circuit (IIC). Input Interfacing Circuit (IIC) receives the frequency and converts frequency to machine language. Output Interfacing Circuit (OIC) sends voice signal to the client as acknowledgement through modem then the client proceeds for the next steps. This system can be used in commercial or industrial purposes such as controlling computer from remote locations, home monitoring system instead of man or any kind of switching.

In this paper, we propose a current memory circuit design that reduces static power consumption and maximizes the advantages of current mode signal processing. The proposed current memory circuit minimizes the problem in which the current transfer error increases as the data transfer time increases due to clock-feedthrough and charge-injection of the existing current memory circuit. The proposed circuit is designed to insert a support MOS capacitor that maximizes the Miller effect in the current transfer structure capable of low-power operation. As a result, it shows the improved current transfer error according to the memory time. From the experimental results of the chip, manufactured with MagnaChip / SK Hynix 0.35 process, it was verified that the current transfer error, according to the memory time, reduced to 5% or less.
