  • Recent studies integrating vibration control and structural health monitoring (SHM) use control devices and control algorithms to enable system identification and damage detection. In this study real-time SHM is used to enhance structural vibration control and reduce damage. A newly proposed control algorithm, including integrated real-time SHM and semi-active control strategy, is presented to mitigate both damage and seismic response of the main structure under strong seismic ground motion. The semi-active independently variable stiffness (SAIVS) device is used as semi-active control device in this investigation. The proper stiffness of SAIVS device is obtained using a new developed semi-active control algorithm based on real-time damage tracking of structure by damage detection algorithm based on identified system Markov parameters (DDA/ISMP) method. A three bay five story steel braced frame structure, which is equipped with one SAIVS device at each story, is employed to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The obtained results show that the proposed control algorithm could significantly decrease damage in most parts of the structure. Also, the dynamic response of the structure is effectively reduced by using the proposed control algorithm during four strong earthquakes. In comparison to passive on and off cases, the results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed control algorithm in decreasing both damage and dynamic responses of structure is significantly enhanced than the passive cases. Furthermore, from the energy consumption point of view the maximum and the cumulative control force in the proposed control algorithm is less than the passive-on case, considerably.

  • The transponder simulator designed to simulate the transponder of military satellite communication systems in the geostationary orbit is required to have time delay function, because of 250 ms delay time, when a radio wave transmits the distance of 36,000 km in free space. But, it is very difficult to develop 250 ms time delay device in the transponder simulator of 100 MHz bandwidth, due to unstable operation of FPGA, loss of memory data for the high speed rate signal processing. Up to date, bandwidth of the time delay device is limited to 45 MHz bandwidth. To solve this problem, we propose the new time delay techniques up to 100 MHz bandwidth without data loss. Proposed techniques are the low speed down scaling and high speed up scaling methods to read and write the external memory, and the matrix structure design of FPGA memory to treat data as high speed rate. We developed the satellite link simulator in 100 MHz bandwidth using the proposed new time delay techniques, implemented to the transponder simulator and verified the function of 265 ms time delay device in 100 MHz bandwidth.

  • An OS requires the device driver to control hardware IPs at application level. Development of a device driver requires specific acknowledge for target hardware and OS. In this paper, we present a system which generates a device driver together with an interface circuit. In the proposed system, an efficient device driver is generated by selecting a basic device driver skeleton, a function module code, and a header file table from the pre-constructed library and an interface circuit is constructed such that the generated device driver operates correctly. The proposed system is evaluated by generating a TFT-LCD device driver on the ARM922T core with 3.5 inch Samsung TFT-LCD in ARM-Linux environment. Experiment result shows that the writing time on the LCD is decreased by 1.12% and the compiled code size is increased by 0.17% compared to the manually generated one. The automatically generated device driver has no performance degradation in the latency of hardware control at the application program level. The system development time can be reduced using the proposed device driver generation system.

  • The purpose of this study is to introduce a new spacer damper for the bundle transmission lines network. It has the special design, the main characteristics and advantage of this new kind of spacer damper. An Existing spacer damper with bolted clamps, although widely used, is a method of connection with certain disadvantage both as regards assembly on the conductor and in the course of time. Even if tightening torque is correctly applied by using bolt with share head or torque wrench during working time, the aeolian vibration could involve untightening during life time, so the cable can move into the Jaws and wire's breakage appear. To salve this problems, France, Japan and other countries had developed a spacer damper with an automatic system through many years. This new spacer damper is an original automatic clamping device (beltless) which does not require special tool for its installation. This device prevents clamp unlocking problems, ensures a simple installation and ensures a reliable-tightening during life time. Therefore, it is necessary to localize this boltless spacer damper with automate clamping device.

  • LonWorks over IP (LonWorks/IP) virtual device network (VDN) is an integrated form of LonWorks device network and IP data network. LonWorks/IP VDN can offer ubiquitous access to the information on the factory floor and make it possible for the predictive and preventive maintenance on the factory floor. Timely response is inevitable for predictive and preventive maintenance on the factory floor under the real-time distributed control. The network induced uncertain time delay deteriorates the performance and stability of the real-time distributed control system on LonWorks/IP virtual device network. Therefore, in order to guarantee the stability and to improve the performance of the networked distributed control system the time-varying uncertain time delay needs to be compensated for. In this paper, under the real-time distributed control on LonWorks/IP VDN with uncertain time delay, a control scheme based on disturbance observer and ZPETC(Zero Phase Error Tracking Controller) phase lag compensator is proposed and tested through computer simulation. The result of the proposed control is compared with that of internal model controller (IMC) based on Smith predictor and disturbance observer. It is shown that the proposed control scheme is disturbance and noise tolerant and can significantly improve the stability and the tracking performance of the periodic reference. Therefore, the proposed control scheme is well suited for the distributed servo control for predictive maintenance on LonWorks/IP-based virtual device network with time-varying delay.

  • Currently, SAW Device has been used as a frequency filter using the property of passing only a desired frequency with a narrow bandwidth. However, the areas of activity in various fields since the permanent advantages can be widened by using a non-powered. These sensor tags using SAW Device has been done, but a lot of research, the development of the state still insufficient for Reader Platform. How to read the value of the ID Tag Using SAW Device has a time domain sampling (TDS) method and a frequency domain sampling (FDS) method. The purpose of the paper, we use the FDS method that requires high-speed processing with a relatively slow sampling rate does not require high-speed sampling. Reader Platform was the way to detect ID through PC as FDS way, but It is based on the Cortex-A9 processor and it works a low price, compact and real-time Reader Platform.

  • A lot of computer users use external memory device. But, same time file efflux incidents are also increasing. There are two ways people use for efflux file. One is moving it after checking file which is running on computer and the other is checking file name only. Checking from running file case, we can identify vestige with running information of applied program but, the case of moving as external device without running file there is no evidence running applied program. So there are a lot of difficulty with forensic investigation. In this paper we suggest the way to help forensic investigation which is method of getting external memory device information of volume and time through its awareness method and connection information and moving to external device without running file after compare the external memory device volume information through link file analysis and getting information of link file formation & access time from link file.

  • Uncertain time delay happens when the process reads the sensor data and sends the control input to the plant located at a remote site in distributed control system. As in the case of data network using TCP/IP, VDN that integrates both device network and data network has uncertain time delay. Uncertain time delay can cause degradation in performance and stability of distributed control system based on VDN. This paper first investigates the transmission characteristic of VDN and suggests a control scheme based on the Smith's predictor to minimize the effect of uncertain varying time delay. The validity of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated with real-time velocity control of DC servo motor located in remote site.
