In this study a new arc sensor algorithm for automatic weld seam tracking was proposed, which uses the relative welding current variation according to the tip-to-workpiece distance in GMA welding. Since the new developed arc sensor algorithm is not sensitive to unstable factors of arc signal, the system is expected to get rid of the problems of already existing arc sensor system which include the difficulty of modeling the process for various welding conditions and limitation of application to thick plate welding. Thus the system is applicable not only to thick plate welding but also to thin plate welding. To implement the new arc sensor algorithm the system parameters which include sampling time, averaging range, weighting factor of moving averaging, basic compensation time, and basic compensation distance were determined by experimental analysis. Consequently this system has shown the successful tracking capability for the various welding conditions.

In this paper proposed a new analysis method that can be controlled DC separately excited motor using DC chopper. An analysis method can be broadly divided the state variables method and the state space averaging method. The state variable method is largely used for analysis method in the time area, but it is complicated analysis of the nonlinear circuit and modeling of the system. Therefore a boundary of the current continuous mode and discontinuous mode can be definited by the state space averaging method. Also this paper proposed a new approximation analysis method using state space averaging method in the discontinuous mode.

A new driving method employing 2-dimensional spatial averaging is proposed. This method successfully eliminates the vertical line artifact caused by luminance difference from unbalanced charging voltage between polarities. This spatial averaging method can secure charging time, minimize driver heating, and achieve higher display quality.

The time delay in active and semi-active controls is an important research subject. Many researches on the time-delay control for deterministic systems have been made (Hu and Wang 2002, Yang et al. 1990, Abdel-Mooty and Roorda 1991, Pu 1998, Cai and Huang 2002), while the study on that for stochastic systems is very limited. The effects of the time delay on the control of nonlinear systems under Gaussian white noise excitations have been studied by Bilello et al. (2002). The controlled linear systems with deterministic and random time delay subjected to Gaussian white noise excitations have been treated by Grigoriu (1997). Recently, a stochastic averaging method for quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems with time delay has been proposed (Liu and Zhu 2007). In the present paper, a stochastic optimal time-delay control method for stochastically excited nonlinear structural systems is proposed based on the stochastic averaging method for quasi Hamiltonian systems with time delay and the stochastic dynamical programming principle. An example of stochastically excited and controlled hysteretic column is given to illustrate the proposed control method.

To maintain safety and reliability of reactors, redundant sensors are usually used to measure critical variables and estimate their averaged time-dependency. Nonhealthy sensors can badly influence the estimation result of the process variable. Since online condition monitoring was introduced, the online cross-calibration method has been widely used to detect any anomaly of sensor readings among the redundant group. The cross-calibration method has four main averaging techniques: simple averaging, band averaging, weighted averaging, and parity space averaging (PSA). PSA is used to weigh redundant signals based on their error bounds and their band consistency. Using the consistency weighting factor (C), PSA assigns more weight to consistent signals that have shared bands, based on how many bands they share, and gives inconsistent signals of very low weight. In this article, three approaches are introduced for improving the PSA technique: the first is to add another consistency factor, so called trend consistency (TC), to include a consideration of the preserving of any characteristic edge that reflects the behavior of equipment/component measured by the process parameter; the second approach proposes replacing the error bound/accuracy based weighting factor ($W^a$) with a weighting factor based on the Euclidean distance ($W^d$), and the third approach proposes applying $W^d$, TC, and C, all together. Cold neutron source data sets of four redundant hydrogen pressure transmitters from a research reactor were used to perform the validation and verification. Results showed that the second and third modified approaches lead to reasonable improvement of the PSA technique. All approaches implemented in this study were similar in that they have the capability to (1) identify and isolate a drifted sensor that should undergo calibration, (2) identify a faulty sensor/s due to long and continuous missing data range, and (3) identify a healthy sensor.

The purpose of this study is to install a system that compensated for the respiration motion using an articulated robotic manipulator couch which enables a wide range of motions that a Stewart platform cannot provide and to evaluate the performance of various prediction algorithms including proposed algorithm. For that purpose, we built a miniature couch tracking system comprising an articulated robotic manipulator, 3D optical tracking system, a phantom that mimicked respiratory motion, and control software. We performed simulations and experiments using respiratory data of 12 patients to investigate the feasibility of the system and various prediction algorithms, namely linear extrapolation (LE) and double exponential smoothing (ES2) with averaging methods. We confirmed that prediction algorithms worked well during simulation and experiment, with the ES2-averaging algorithm showing the best results. The simulation study showed 43% average and 49% maximum improvement ratios with the ES2-averaging algorithm, and the experimental study with the $QUASAR^{TM}$ phantom showed 51% average and 56% maximum improvement ratios with this algorithm. Our results suggest that the articulated robotic manipulator couch system with the ES2-averaging prediction algorithm can be widely used in the field of radiation therapy, providing a highly efficient and utilizable technology that can enhance the therapeutic effect and improve safety through a noninvasive approach.

Induction motors are critical components in industrial processes since their failure usually lead to an unexpected interruption at the industrial plant. The studies of induction motor behavior during abnormal conditions and the possibility to diagnose different types of faults have been a challenging topic for many electrical machine researchers. In this regard, an efficient and new method to detect the induction motor-fault may be the application of the Time Synchronous Averaging (TSA) to the stator current Park's Vector. The aim of this paper is to present a methodology by which defects in a three-phase wound rotor induction motor can be diagnosed. By exploiting the cyclostationarity characteristics of electrical signals, the TSA method is applied to the stator current Park's Vector, allowing the monitoring of the induction motor operation. Simulation and experimental results are presented in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The obtained results are largely satisfactory, indicating a promising industrial application of the hybrid Park's Vector-TSA approach.

리튬전지는 생산과정에서의 핵심인 화성공정에 의해 수명 및 성능이 크게 좌우되며, 화성공정을 처리하기 위해서 충방전 시스템이 필수적으로 요구되고 있다. 리튬전지 충방전 시스템의 특성을 해석하기 위해 일반적인 방법으로 시뮬레이션하면 충전동작과 방전동작에 엄청난 시간이 소요되고 메모리 용량의 한계로 인해 범용 PC로는 시뮬레이션이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 리튬전지를 저항-커패시터 직렬회로로 모델링하였으며 상태공간평균의 개념을 적용하여 리튬전지 충방전 시스템을 해석하고 시뮬레이션하였다. Simplorer를 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 시뮬레이션 시간이 단축되어 범용 PC로도 3시간 내에 시뮬레이션이 가능해졌으며, 리튬전지 충방전 시스템의 정전류/정전압 충전 특성 및 정전류 방전 특성과 충방전 소요시간을 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 충방전 시스템을 구성하고 실험하여 리튬전지를 저항-커패시터 직렬회로로 등가화한 모델링의 타당성과 상태공간평균의 개념을 사용하여 해석하고 시뮬레이션한 방법의 유용성을 입증하였다.

백두산 화산분출물의 이류와 확산 예측 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 3차원 대기역학 모형인 WRF와 입자 확산 모형인 FLEXPART를 결합하여 다양한 수치실험을 실시하였다. 기상자료의 시간 평균화에 따른 영향을 보기 위하여 네가지 서로 다른 평균화 기간을 가진 수치 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구에 적용된 기상자료의 평균화 기간은 각각 1개월, 10일, 3일이다. 또한 평균화를 실시하지 않은 실시간자료를 이용한 수치실험도 실시하였다. 기상자료의 평균화 시간이 길어질수록 주풍성분인 동서 방향의 운동이 뚜렷해지고, 짧을수록 주풍의 법선 방향인 남북 운동이 명확하게 나타나며, 화산분출물을 가정한 입자의 확산 역시 동일한 특성이 나타난다. 상하층의 바람은 강도의 차이가 명확하고, 평준화 기간에 따른 영향이 다르게 나타나기 때문에 상층입자와 하층입자의 이동과 지상 침적이 다양하게 나타난다. 또한 한반도의 지상 침적은 방출고도 2 km 이하의 입자가 주로 영향을 미친다. 따라서 기상자료의 평균화 시간 간격이 화산분출물의 지상 침적을 결정하는 하나의 요인으로 작용하기 때문에, 확산 실험 전에 적절한 기상자료의 시간평균을 결정할 필요가 있다.
