Synchronized switch damping (SSD) techniques have recently been developed for structural vibration control using piezoelectric materials. In these techniques, piezoelectric materials are bonded on the vibrating structure and shunted by a network of electrical elements. These piezoelectric materials are switched according to the amplitude of the excitation force to damp vibration. This paper presents a new SSD technique called 'synchronized switch damping on negative capacitance and adaptive voltage sources' (SSDNCAV). The technique combines the phenomenon of capacitance transient charging and electrical resonance to effectively dampen the structural vibration. Also, the problem of stability observed in the previous SSD techniques is effectively addressed by adapting the voltage on the piezoelectric patch according to the vibration amplitude of the structure. Analytical expressions of vibration attenuation at the resonance frequency are derived, and the effectiveness of this new technique is demonstrated, for the control of a resonant cantilever beam with bonded piezoelectric patches, by comparing with SSDI, SSDVenh, and SSDNC techniques. Theoretical predictions and experimental results show the remarkable vibration damping capability of SSDNCAV technique, which was better than the previous SSD techniques. The broadband vibration control capabilities of SSDNCAV technique are also demonstrated, which exceed those of previous SSD techniques.

Warning control is one of the most important components in driver's cabin for achieving safe driving. The purpose of this study is to suggest ergonomically optimal location and type of passenger car's warning control. An experiment was conducted using driving simulator, in which nine locations and two types of warning controls -push button, rocker switch- were employed as experimental variables, and response time for warning signal and preference for locations and types of warning controls were measured as dependent variables. The results showed that response time for warning signal was the shortest when warning control was located at the middle left corner of the center fascia, and was the second at the middle center of the center fascia. Preference for warning signal was the highest at the middle left comer of the center fascia, and was the second between the steering wheel column and the center fascia. Although push button was not preferred to rocker switch, response time was shorter for push button than for rocker switch. It was suggested from these results that warning control with the type of push button should he located at among the middle left corner of the center fascia, the middle center of the center fascia, and between the steering wheel column and the center fascia.

IPS(Intelligent Power Switch)는 내부에 논리 회로를 포함한 반도체 스위치 소자로, 논리 회로를 통한 부하의 능동적 제어를 가능하게 함으로써 기존의 차량 내 적용된 퓨즈 및 릴레이 소자를 대체할 스위칭 소자로서 각광받고 있다. 이러한 IPS의 능동적 역할을 활용하기 위해서는 각 IPS 소자를 제어할 수 있는 제어 시스템과 각 소자 및 시스템을 연결하기 위한 통신 시스템이 마련되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 IPS 소자를 사용한 제어 회로 및 제어 알고리즘을 제안하고, 차량용 통신 시스템으로 널리 사용되는 CAN 프로토콜을 사용한 각 소자와 시스템 간의 통신 시스템을 제안한다.

Background: Under the risk of financial sustainability of National Health Insurance, Korean government attempted a series of regulations over pharmaceutical prices. The first price-cut was implemented to the hyperlipidemial treatments, and the prices of statins were reduced on 15th, April in 2009. The purposes of this study are 1) to investigate the impact of this price-cut on pharmaceutical expenditure, and 2) to identify the factors associated with drug-switch among statins. Methods: Using the national patients sample data, this study conducted time series analysis on the expenditures, prices, and volumes of statin drugs. To understand the factors associated with drug-switch, the multinomial logit model was analyzed at the patients level. Results: The results of time series analysis demonstrated that the price-cut of hyperlipidemic medicines did not lead to the reduced expenditure, suggesting the increased volume was the major cause. The multinomial logit analysis identified the switch of healthcare provider as the significant factor that was highly associated with drug-switch, implying the physicians' preference was the major motivation of drug-switch. Conclusion: Without control of utilization, price regulation itself could not reduce pharmaceutical expenditure. This suggests that the pharmaceutical regulations should be implemented on the basis of understanding of provider behaviors. The findings of this study will form the first step for further empirical studies.

위성통신 시스템의 초고주파 스위치 메트릭스(MSM)를 위한 MMIC 스위치 칩을 InGaAs/GaAs p-HEMT 공정을 이용하여 설계 및 제작하였다. MMIC 스위치는 on과 off상태에서 우수한 입출력 반사계수를 위해 흡수형으로 설계되었다. 또한, 스위치 칩의 크기를 줄이기 위해 MIM 커패시터와 spiral 인덕터의 집중소자를 이용하여 3 GHz 대역에서의 ${\lambda}/4$ 임피던스 변환기를 구현하였다. 설계된 MMIC 스위치는 $3.2\~3.6\;GHz$ 대역에서 사용할 수 있으며 $1.6\;mm{\times}1.3\;mm$의 칩 크기를 갖는다. On-wafer 측정 결과, 2 dB 이하의 삽입 손실과 56.8 dB 이상의 격리도 특성을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 측정 결과는 시뮬레이션 결과와 잘 일치하는 것이다.

ATM 네트워크의 목적은 다양한 네트워크의 접속을 지원하는 것이다. ATM 망에서 ABR 서비스는 CBR, VBR에 할당된 전송률을 제외한 나머지를 이용해서 데이터를 전송한다. 오디오 또는 비디오 데이터와 같이 실시간 전송이 필요한 서비스들은 전송지연이 제한되는 CBR이나 VBR 트래픽을 이용하여 제공할 수 있지만, 이런 경우에는 전체 전송률을 효과적으로 사용하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 ABR 스위치의 스위치 알고리즘인 ERICA(Explicit Rate Indicate Avoidance) 스위치 방식과 EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm) 스위치 방식의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션의 평가 기준으로 과도상태와 정상상태에서 각 송신원에서의 전송률(ACR:Allowed Cell Rate)의 변화, 큐 길이, 링크 대역폭 이용률과 전송률의 공평성 여부를 사용하였다. 실험결과 EPRCA 스위치 방식은 ERICA 방식보다 뛰어난 반응 특성을 나타내는 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 안정성과 페어웨어 특성은 ERICA 스위치 방식이 EPRCA 스위치 방식보다 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Circuit breakers are a crucial factor in ensuring the safety of a Direct Current (DC) grid. One type of DC circuit breaker, the Z-source DC circuit breaker (ZCB), uses a thyristor, which is a type of semiconductor switch. In the event of a fault in the circuit, the ZCB isolates the fault by generating a zero crossing current in the thyristor. The thyristor quickly and actively isolates the fault while generating a zero crossing current, but thyristor switch cannot control turn-off and the allowable current is lower than the current of the mechanical switch. Therefore, it is best to use a mechanical switch with a high allowable current capacity that is capable of on/off control. Due to the slow reaction time of mechanical switches, they may not isolate the fault during the zero crossing current time interval created by the existing circuit. In this case, the zero crossing current time can be increased by using the property that hinders the rapid change in the current of the inductor. This paper will explore whether adding system inductance to increase the zero crossing current time interval is a solution to this problem. The simulation of changing inductor and capacitor (LC) of the circuit is repeated to find an optimal change in the zero crossing current time according to the LC change and provides an inductor and capacitor range optimized for a specific load. The inductor and capacitor range are expected to provide optimization information in the form LC values for future applications of ZCB's using a mechanical switch.

Closing switch, key component of pulsed power system, is constructed simply and used frequently due to the easy control and manufacture of one. The kind of one are spark-gap, triggered vacuum switch, pseudo-spark switch and INPIStron. But the electrode of spark gap switch is damaged with the hot spot by Z-pinch and then the life of one become short. INPIStron with inverse pinch effect has long life but it is difficult trigger system to provide uniform discharge between cathode and anode. In this paper, the design and manufacturing of INPIStron with gas puffing trigger method in order to supply uniform discharge inter-electrode and the performance of the developed INPIStron applied to 500[kA]-2[MJ] pulsed power system is presented.

This paper is the part I of the full study about improved structure of fully interconnected ATM switch to develop the small sized switch element and practical implemention of switch network. This part I paper describes about proposed switch structure, performance evaluations and some of considerations to practical implementation. The proposed structure is constructed of two step buffering scheme in a filtered multiplexer. First step buffering is carried out by small sized dedicated buffers located at each input port. And second step buffering is provided by a large sized common buffer at the output port. To control bursty traffic, we use speed up factor in multiplexing and priority polling according to the levels of buffer occupancy. Proposed structure was evaluated by computer simulation with two evaluation points. One is comparision of multiplexing discipline between hub polling and priority polling. The ogher is overall which should be considered to improve the practical implementation.
