A hybrid converter for the on-board charger consisting of a soft switching full bridge (SSFB) and a half bridge (HB) LLC resonant converter is proposed. The proposed topology adopts an additional switch and a diode at the secondary side of SSFB converter to guarantee the wide ZVS range of primary side switches and to eliminate the circulating current. The output voltage is regulated by controlling the duty cycle of secondary side switch. The effectiveness of the proposed converter was experimentally verified using a 10-kW prototype circuit. The experimental results show 96.8% peak efficiency.

This paper describes a gate driver that operates numerous semiconductor switch in the solide-state pulsed power modulator. the proposed gate driver is designed to receive both the isolated drive-power and the on/off pulse signals through the transformer. Moreover, the IGBT-switch can be quickly turned off by adding protection circuit. Therefore it protects the IGBT-switch from the arc condition that frequently occurs in high-voltage pulse application. To comprehend operating characteristic of each IGBT-switch in pulse output condition, the device consisting of a high efficiency soft-switching capacitor charger and two series stacking IGBT-switch is developed. Finally, the relability of the proposed gate driver and the device for its test are proved through PSpice simulation and experiments.

In this paper, a new type of active snubber was proposed to lower the excessive rated voltage of the clamp capacitor which was a problem in the conventional circuit by applying auxiliary winding into the active snubber. A simplified equivalent circuit of the proposed snubber was derived by applying it to QR flyback converter, and the equivalent circuits for each switch state was shown under the steady-state condition. In addition, the maximum voltage of the clamp capacitor as well as the main switch was found by using the steady-state equations. In particular, it was found that the clamp capacitor voltage could be controlled by the auxiliary winding ratio. In order to verify the utility and practicality of the proposed converter with auxiliary winding type active snubber circuit, a prototype with an output voltage of 19V and a maximum load current of 6A was produced and the results were reported.

In this paper, a novel hardware architecture of the LT codec is presented where non-BP based decoding algorithm is applied. Novel LT codec architecture is designed with an efficient degree distribution unit using Verilog HDL. To perform permutation operation, different initial valued or time shifted counters have been used to get pretty well permutations and an effect of randomness. The codec will take 128 bits as input and produce 256 encoded output bits. The simulation results show expected performances as the implemented distribution and the original distribution are pretty same. The proposed LT codec takes 257.5 cycle counts and $2.575{\mu}s$ for encoding and decoding instead of 5,204,861 minimum cycle counts and 4.43s of the design mentioned in the previous works where iterative soft BP decoding was used in ASIC and ASIP implementation of the LT codec.

Multinational enterprises have adopted the form of business to successfully operate globally, and the overseas project has brought huge cultural exchange and penetration. The cultural liberalization also has improved the manufactured goods production and effect the consumers' purchase intentions. In this paper we focused on the influence factors that effected the cultural output, by investigating the actual consume market, using Structure Equation model(SEM model) to test the relationships among cultural preferences and purchase intentions of foreign products. Also, we evaluated the consumers' ethnocentrism's influences on cultural identity with other nations' cultural background. Lastly, we concluded that cultural identity has influences and complicate individual thoughts and purchase actions, it provides significance of impact of nation's soft power and whole economic development, and ethnocentrism has no significant influences on consuming foreign manufacture goods.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have reached a great result at creating the synthesis image, especially in the face generation task. Unlike other deep learning tasks, the input of GANs is usually the random vector sampled by a probability distribution, which leads to unstable training and unpredictable output. One way to solve those problems is to employ the label condition in both the generator and discriminator. CelebA and FFHQ are the two most famous datasets for face image generation. While CelebA contains attribute annotations for more than 200,000 images, FFHQ does not have attribute annotations. Thus, in this work, we introduce a method to learn the attributes from CelebA then predict both soft and hard labels for FFHQ. The evaluated result from our model achieves 0.7611 points of the metric is the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

A digital RDA(Retrodirective Antenna) system is a retransmit system that received signal without prior information turn back by estimated phase of the signal to received direction. The RDA can decrease consumption of power by increase of directivity because signal concentrates on received direction compare to omni-direction antenna which transmit power all direction. Generally, the RDA is known to show better performance than the single-antenna system in multi-path environment. However, the RDA occurs performance degradation in serious ISI channel. In this paper, to solve this problem, we propose retrodirective antenna combined with turbo equalizer combined which can compensate serious ISI channel, we increase the BER performance through proposed retrodirective antenna combined with turbo equalizer in serious ISI channel.

In this paper, Multistage Adaptive Partial PIC eliminating effectively the multiple access and multipath interference for DS-CDMA based W-CDMA uplink system is designed and its performance is evaluated with computer simulation. By adaptively controlling the slope of the soft limiter with received signals, the efficiency of the soft limiter can be maximized and the better performance is obtained by solving error floor problem using further precise generation of interference signal. As a result, The proposed Multistage Adaptive Partial PIC with simple optimizing method for time-variant channel showed optimum performance at fewer stages. Besides fewer stages, the interference cancellation at the output of the rake receiver considerably reduced system complexity. The Multistage Adaptive Partial PIC with precise generation and efficient cancellation of interference signal can solve error eoor problem, resulted from initial false detection and improve system performance of high data rate system.

The iterative detection and decoding (IDD) has been shown to dramatically improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. However, these techniques require a high computational complexity since it is required to compute the soft decisions for each bit. In this paper, we show IDD comprised of sphere decoder with low-density parity check (LDPC) codes and present the tree search strategy, called a layer symbol search (LSS), to obtain soft decisions with a low computational complexity. In addition, an adaptive early termination is proposed to reduce the computational complexity during an iteration between an inner sphere decoder and an outer LDPC decoder. It is shown that the proposed approach can achieve the performance similar to an existing algorithm with 70% lower computational complexity compared to the conventional algorithms.

This paper analysis the AM-SCS-MMA (Adaptive Modulus-Soft Constraint Satisfaction-MMA) based on the adaptive modulus and minimus-disturbance technique in order to improve the stability and robustness in low signal to noise power of current MMA adaptive equalization algorithm. In AM-SCS-MMA, it updates the filter coefficient applying the adaptive modulus and minimum-disturbance technique of deterministic optimization problem instead of LMS or gradient descend algorithm for obtain the minimize the cost function of adaptive equalization. It is possible to improve the equalizer filter stability, robustness to the various noise characteristic and simultaneous reducing the intersymbol interference due to the amplitude and phase distortion occurred at channel. The computer simulation were performed for confirming the improved performance of SCS-MMA. For these, the output signal constellation of equalizer, residual isi, MSE, EMSE (Excess MSE) which means the channel traking capability and SER which means the robustness were applied. As a result of computer simulation, the AM-SCS-MMA have slow convergence time and less residual quantities after steady state, more good robustness in the poor signal to noise ratio, but poor in channel tracking capabilities was confirmed than MMA.
