Passive Stabilization method and active stabilization method are mainly used to comprise a control system of platform stabilizer. Passive Stabilization method has demerits because of size and weight except that control structure is simple while active stabilization method using sensors can reduce size and weight, it requires high sensor technique and control algorithm. In this paper, a stabilizing controller using adaptive fuzzy control technique and floating-point processor(DSP) is suggested.

Background: The purpose of this study is on finding the effects of the lumbar stabilization exercise applied with the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique (PNF) to the balance and the gait of chronic stroke patients. Methods: An experiment was conducted using two sets of behavioral measures with 30 chronic stroke hospitalized patients in the rehabilitation center located in Incheon city. The 15 participants in group A were instructed to apply the traditional exercise therapy. And the other 15 participants were assigned to apply the lumbar stabilization exercise with the PNF technique. It was conducted for 30 minutes per three days for six weeks, which had eighteen times. Using the balance system, it was checked about the static and dynamic balance. Using the Gaitrite, it was checked about the ability of the gait. Results: There was a better effect on both groups especially with the static balance. Those who were applied the lumbar stabilization exercise with the PNF technique had a better result on the dynamic balance and the gait than those applied the traditional exercise therapy. Conclusion: This research shows that the Lumbar Stabilization Exercise applied with the PNF technique is more effective on dynamic balance and the gait performance ability of the chronic stroke patients.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of active release technique and lumbar stabilization exercise on pelvic asymmetry, muscle activation and pain in chronic low back pain patients. Methods : The subjects were 37 outpatients diagnosed with chronic low back pain. The patients were randomly divided into an active release technique therapy group (ART; n=18), and lumbar stabilization exercise group (LSE; n=19). These groups performed their respective therapy for a 30-minute session occurring two times a week over six-weeks period. To assess the patients' pelvic asymmetry, their pelvic tilt, and pelvic rotation was measured using X-ray imaging. EMG was used to evaluate the muscle activity of the lumbar muscle. The visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to measure the subjects' pain. Results : Both ART group, and LSE group exhibited statistically significant differences in their subjects' VAS and muscle activation of lumbar muscle after the therapy (p<.05). In ART group exhibited statistically significant decreases in their subjects' pelvic tilt and pelvic rotation after therapy (p<.05). There was a significant difference between the ART group, and LSE group (p<.05). Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that active release technique and lumbar stabilization exercise are effective in decrease pain and increase muscle activation in chronic low back pain patient. In addition active release technique is considered to be more effective in improving pelvic tilt and pelvic rotation than lumbar stabilization exercise.

This paper investigates the operation of ITER(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) Vertical Stabilization(VS) converter with circulating current. The VS converter has two subunits in parallel. The subunit is composed two back-to-back 12 pulse thyristor converter in series. The circulating current free technique can not always maintain the closed path for the load current because of a dead time zone of the converter operation at the region of the load current inversion. The complex circulation current technique for the load current inversion with VS converter can achieve the fast response and always maintain the closed path for the load curret. The paper proposes the new circulating current algorithm for the load current inversion of ITER VS converter and proves the performance of the circulating current technique with PSIM simulation study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the PNF stabilization technique for the hip joint and the bridging exercise on the trunk stabilizer muscles in healthy adults. Methods: Twenty-eight healthy adults were randomly allocated to either a PNF stabilization exercise group (n = 12) or a bridging exercise group (n = 16). The outcome measures included the contraction thickness ratio in the transversus abdominis (TrA), internal oblique (IO), and external oblique (EO), and the TrA lateral slide was assessed during the abdominal drawing-in maneuver using b-mode ultrasound. The researcher measured the abdominal muscle thickness of each participant before the therapist began the intervention and at the moment that the intervention was applied. Between-group comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The level of statistical significance was set at 0.05. Results: The PNF intervention program showed a significant increase in the trunk stabilizer muscle. The percentage of change in the TrA thickness showed a significant interaction between intervention. However, there were no significant differences in the IO and EO between the two groups. Conclusion: The PNF stabilization technique for the hip joint can be used effectively to improve the IO and TrA muscles in healthy adults.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the effects of lumbar stabilization exercise with those of the neurodynamic technique on low back pain in patients with lumbar instability. METHODS: The subjects included those with more than three tests with positive results for lumbar instability and those with a positive sign during the neurodynamic test, all of whom had low back pain. For the lumbar stabilization exercise group (n=15), lumbar stabilization exercise was performed using a sling system, while the neurodynamic technique group (n=15) performed the neurodynamic technique. The intervention was performed 5 days a week for 4 weeks. All measurement of each subject were measure at pre-intervention and post-intervention (after 4 weeks). SPSS/PC ver. 18.0 program was used to compile results. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in general characteristics of subjects between both groups (p>.05). Assessed items included the visual analog scale score (VAS), Korean version of the Oswestry Disability Index (KODI), lumbar instability test positive response counter (LIC) and Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire score (FABQ), and a significant reduction was observed post-intervention compared to pre-intervention values in both groups (p<.01). Other assessed items such as trunk flexibility and lumbar extensor endurance and lumbar flexor endurance were significantly increased post-intervention in both groups compared to pre-intervention values (p<.01). There was no significant difference in all parameters between both groups (p>.05). CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that the neurodynamic technique may be useful for improving low back pain in patients with lumbar instability.

We proposed a new technique to perform fast video stabilization using integral image in this article. In the proposed technique, it evaluate local and global motion by the block matching using the generated integral image for each frame and compensate the motion like jitter. We made the various experimental jitter patterns to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed technique and evaluated stabilization capability and execution time with the existing ones. Through the experiment, we found that the execution time of proposed technique was faster than that of existing techniques and the compensation of jitter was well done.

This paper proposes a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with chopper stabilization technique with a sample-hold circuit. Chopper stabilization technique is effective in terms of reducing low frequency offset and flicker noise. Conventional chopper amplifier has a disadvantage in area because of using Low Pass Filter (LPF) for remove chopping spike. The proposed chopper amplifier employed sample and hold technique to decrease chopping spike instead of LPF that improves 36% in voltage damping and 11% in area.

This paper presents a stabilization technique for unstable systems. An inverted pendulum, which is a typical unstable mechanical system, is considered and stabilized by a nonlinear control. The stabilization problem in this system is related to that in postural control of human being. In this paper, the variable structure control (VSC) is applied to the stabilization problem. Robustness by the VSC and that by a conventional linear feedback controller are compared.

This study considers an experimental design of disturbance compensation control to improve stabilization performance of main battle tanks. An adaptive non-parametric design technique based on the Filtered-x Least Mean Square(FXLMS) algorithm is applied in the consideration of model uncertainties. The optimal compensator is designed by two-step design procedures: determination of frequency response function of the disturbance compensator which can cancel the disturbance of series of single harmonics by using the FXLMS algorithm and determination of the compensator polynomial which can fit the frequency response function obtained in the first step optimally by using a curve fitting technique. The disturbance compensator is applied to a simple experimental gun-torsion bar-motor system which simulates gun driving servo-system. Along with experimental results, the feasibility of the proposed technique is illustrated. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed control reduces the standard deviation of stabilization error to 47.6% that by feedback control alone. The directional properties of the FXLMS Algorithm such as the direction of convergence and its convergence speed are also verified experimentally.
