Time Delay Controller(TDC) is a model following controller which uses input and output values and state variables to estimate additional quantity of dynamics due to external disturbances and/or model parameters variation at some past instant. TDC is very robust against parametric uncertainty whil it is not robust against unmodeled dynamics even showing instability. To solve this problem a stability anlysis is performed and a compensation technique using reduced order observer, Anti-Filtering Compensator(AFC), is proposed for a case in which the high order kinown dynamics is deliberately ignored. If the ignored dynamics causes instability of the TDC control system, AFC is shown to be indispensible fot a stable implementation of TDC.

Recently the Time Delay Control(TDC) method has been proposed as a promising technique in the robust control area, where the plant has unknown dynamics with parameter variations and substantial disturbances are present. When TDC is applied to the plant with saturation nonlinearity, however, the so called windup phenomena are observed to arise, causing excessive overshoot and instability. In order to solve this problem, we have proposed an anti-windup method for TDC. The stability of the overall system has been analyzed for a class of LTI MIMO system. The effectiveness for the proposed method has been shown with simulation and experiment results.

Time Delay Control (TDC) method was proposed as a promising technique in the robust control area, where the plants have unknown dynamics with parameter variations and substantial disturbances are present. In this paper, based on the concepts of TDC, author propose a model reference control method for input/output model. The stability and robustness of the closed system has been analyzed for a class of linear time invarient (LTI) system. Then, in a simulation study, author's design method has been applied to a second order system, the result of which confirmed that the proposed control method performs satisfactorily as predicted.

This paper describes the design method of Time-to-Digital Converter(TDC) to obtain the constant delay time and good reliability. The reliability property is described with delay elements. In TDC the time signal is converted to digital value which is based on delay elements for the time interpolation. To obtain the constant delay time, the first and the last delay elements have different structure compared to the middle delay elements. In the first and the last delay elements, the driving ability could be controlled for the different delay time. The delay element can be designed by analog and digital devices. The delay time of the element using analog devices is not sensitive to process parameters than that of the element using digital devices. And the TDC circuit by the elements using analog devices shows better reliability than that by the elements using digital devices also.

Objective : Twist-drill craniostomy (TDC) with closed-system drainage and burr-hole drainage (BHD) with a closed system are effective treatment options for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). The aim of this study was to analyze clinical data and surgical results from symptomatic CSDH patients who underwent TDC with closed-system drainage at the pre-coronal point (PCP). Methods : We analyzed data for 134 symptomatic CSDH patients who underwent TDC at the PCP with closed-system drainage. We defined the PCP for TDC to be 1 cm anterior to the coronal suture at the level of superior temporal line. TDC at the PCP with closed-system drainage was selected in patients with CSDH that extended beyond the coronal suture, confirmed by preoperative CT scans. Medical records, radiological findings, and clinical performance were reviewed retrospectively. Results : Of the 134 CSDH patients, 114 (85.1%) showed improved clinical performance and imaging findings after surgery. Catheter failures were seen in two cases (1.4%); the catheters were inserted in the epidural space. Recurrent cases were seen in eight patients (5.6%), and they were improved with a second BHD with a closed-system operation. Conclusion : TDC at the PCP with closed-system drainage is safe and effective for patients with symptomatic CSDH whose hematomas extend beyond the coronal suture.

The synchronous TDC(Time-to-Digital Converter) of counter-type using current-conveyor is designed by $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and the supply voltage is 3 volts. In order to compensate the disadvantage of a asynchronous TDC the clock is generated when the start signal is applied and the clock is synchronized with the start signal. In the asynchronous TDC the error range of digital output is from $-T_{CK}$ to $T_{CK}$. But the error range of digital output is from 0 to $T_{CK}$ in the synchronous TDC. The error range of output is reduced by the synchronization between the start signal and the clock when the timing-interval signal is converted to digital value. Also the structure of the synchronous TDC is simple because there is no the high frequency external clock. The operation of designed TDC is confirmed by the HSPICE simulation.

This paper describes a CMOS time to digital converter (TDC) that measures the interval between two signals and converts to a digital signal. There are various methods to measure the time interval. But several architectures have a limitation in resolution and in conversion time. Moreover, they have complex algorithms. But the proposed TDC circuit has achieved a high resolution (25ps) by using a high-speed digital sampler and simple algorithm. The sampler detects when input signals comes into the TDC and output is coded. The proposed multiphase clock generator was also implemented to achieve 25p resolution.

We deal with the sliding mode control using the time delay estimation. The time delay estimation is able to weaken the need for obtaining a quantitative plant model analogous to the real plant so the sliding mode control with a time delay estimation (SMCTE) is very suitable for plant such as SMA actuators whose quantitative model is difficult to obtain. We have already studied the application of the time delay control (TDC) to SMA actuators in other literature. Based on the previous study on the TDC, we developed the gain tuning method for the SMCTE, which results were nearly the same as the TDC. With respect to the step response, the SMCTE proved its predominance in a comparison with other control schemes such as the PID control and the relay control. As well as the contribution of the above control methodology, the model identification for SMA actuators has also been studied. The dynamics for an SMA actuator was newly derived using the modified Liang's model. The derived dynamics showed a continuity at the change of the phase transformation process but the original Liang's model could not.
