The rigorous requirements of modern spacecraft missions necessitate a precise attitude determination strategy. This paper mainly researches that, based on three space-borne attitude sensors: 3-axis rate gyros, 3-antenna GPS receiver and star-sensor. To obtain global attitude estimation after an information fusion process, a feedback-involved Federated Kalman Filter (FKF), consisting of two subsystem Kalman filters (Gyros/GPS and Gyros/Star-sensor), is established. In these filters, the state equation is implemented according to the spacecraft's kinematic attitude model, while the residual error models of GPS and star-sensor observed attitude are utilized, to establish two observation equations, respectively. Taking the sensors' different update rates into account, these two subsystem filters are conducted under a variable step size state prediction method. To improve the fault tolerant capacity of the attitude determination system, this paper designs malfunction warning factors, based on the principle of ${\chi}^2$ residual verification. Mathematical simulation indicates that the information fusion strategy overwhelms the disadvantages of each sensor, acquiring global attitude estimation with precision at a 2-arcsecs level. Although a subsystem encounters malfunction, FKF still reaches precise and stable accuracy. In this process, malfunction warning factors advice malfunctions correctly and effectively.

Optimization of design is an important step in obtaining tissue engineering scaffolds with appropriate shapes and inner micro-structures. Different shapes and sizes of scaffolds are modeled using UGS NX 6.0 software with variable pore sizes. The quality issue we are concerned is the scaffold porosity, which is mainly caused by the fabrication inaccuracies. Bone scaffolds are usually characterized using a scanning electron microscope, but this study presents a new automated inspection and classification technique. Due to many numbers and size variations for the pores, the manual inspection of the fabricated scaffolds tends to be error-prone and costly. Manual inspection also raises the chance of contamination. Thus, non-contact, precise inspection is preferred. In this study, the critical dimensions are automatically measured by the vision camera. The measured data are analyzed to classify the quality characteristics. The automated inspection and classification techniques developed in this study are expected to improve the quality of the fabricated scaffolds and reduce the overall cost of manufacturing.

This paper proposes an improved Maximum Power Point Tracking method and design methods of unmanned solar vehicle system by parts of hardware, unmanned driving control and power conversion. The hardware design is offered on the weight reduction and structural reliability by using structural analysis software. The technique of curve fitting is applied to unmanned control system due to minimizing the vehicle's behavior. Furthermore, lateral controller applying actuator dynamics is robust enough to prevent performance degradation by measurement noise regarding position and heading angle. The power conversion system contains battery charger system and tapped-inductor boost converter. In the battery charger system, variable step-size MPPT is conducted for quick response of maximum power point tracking. The validity of the proposed algorithm are verified by simulations and experiments.

LMS(Least Mean Square)알고리즘은 강인성, 높은 추적성, 구현의 단순성 때문에 아직도 많이 사용되는 알고리즘이다. 하지만, LMS알고리즘은 비균일적인 수렴율과 EMSE(Excess mean square error)사이에 trade-off를 가진다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해, 많은 가변 스텝 사이즈 알고리즘이 연구되고 있다. 빠른 수렴속도를 위하여 복잡한 가변스텝 방식을 사용 하는데 많은 계산량을 필요로 한다. IGC(Instantaneous Gain Control) 알고리즘은 원신호와 잡음신호의 순시이득값을 사용하여 계산량은 줄이고 높은 성능을 유지한다. 하지만 IGC 알고리즘은 이득값 계산시 log함수에 의해 실행시간이 오래 걸리는 단점을 가진다. 제안하는 변형 IGC알고리즘은 실행시간을 지연하는 log 함수를 제거하여, 실시간 소음제거 처리에 맞게 변형하여 성능 개선을 이룰 수 있었다.

As fuel cells approach commercialization, hydrogen production becomes a critical step in the overall energy conversion pathway. Reforming is a process that produces a hydrogen-rich gas from hydrocarbon fuels. Hydrogen production via autothermal reforming (ATR) is particularly attractive for applications that demand a quick start-up and response time in a compact size. However, further research is required to optimize the performance of autothermal reformers and accurate models of reactor performance must be developed and validated. The design includes the requirement of accommodating a wide range of experimental set ups. Factors considered in the design of the reformer are capability to use multiple fuels, ability to vary stoichiometry, precise temperature and pressure control, implementation of enhancement methods, capability to implement variable catalyst positions and catalyst arrangement, ability to monitor and change reactant mixing, and proper implementation of data acquisition. A model of the system was first developed in order to calculate flowrates, heating, space velocity, and other important parameters needed to select the hardware that comprises the reformer. Predicted performance will be compared to actual data once the reformer construction is completed. This comparison will quantify the accuracy of the model and should point to areas where further model development is required. The end result will be a research tool that allows engineers to optimize hydrogen production via autothermal reformation.

The paper describes the improvement on concurrent subspace optimization(CSSO) via automatic differentiation. CSSO is an efficient strategy to coupled multidisciplinary design optimization(MDO), wherein the original design problem is non-hierarchically decomposed into a set of smaller, more tractable subspaces. Key elements in CSSO are consisted of global sensitivity equation, subspace optimization, optimum sensitivity analysis, and coordination optimization problem that require frequent use of 1st order derivatives to obtain design sensitivity information. The current version of CSSO adopts automatic differentiation scheme to provide a robust sensitivity solution. Automatic differentiation has numerical effectiveness over finite difference schemes tat require the perturbed finite step size in design variable. ADIFOR(Automatic Differentiation In FORtran) is employed to evaluate sensitivities in the present work. The use of exact function derivatives facilitates to enhance the numerical accuracy during the iterative design process. The paper discusses how much the automatic differentiation based approach contributes design performance, compared with traditional all-in-one(non-decomposed) and finite difference based approaches.

The most costly and time-consuming process in the fabrication of today's multi-layer circuit board is drilling interconnection holes between adjacent layers and via holes within a layer. Decreasing size of via holes being demanded and growing number of via holes per panel increase drilling costs. Component density and electronic functionality of today's multi-layer circuit boards can be improved with the introduction of cost-effective, variable depth laser drilled blind micro via holes, and interconnection holes. Laser technology is being quickly adopted into the circuit board industry but can be accelerated with the introduction of a true production laser drilling system. In order to get optimized condition for drilling to FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board), we use various drill pattern as drill step. For productivity, we investigate drill path optimization method. And for the precise drilling the thermal drift of scanner and temperature change of scan system are tested.

본 논문은 최대 전력점을 추종하는 기존 P&O 방식의 동적 응답 특성을 향상시키기 위해 가변 스텝 사이즈를 적용한 P&O 방식 기반의 MPPT 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 듀티 제어를 통해 최대 전력점을 추종하며, 2가지 동작모드로써 가변 스텝 모드와 고속모드로 구성된다. 일사량이 일정한 경우, 가변 스텝 모드에서 듀티의 스텝 사이즈 감소를 통해 최대 전력점에서 동작점의 전압변동이 작아짐에 따라 진동이 감소하여 발전 효율이 증가한다. 일사량이 변동하는 경우, MPPT 오류를 피하기 위해 듀티와 PV 전압은 일정하게 유지하며, 일사량 변화가 끝난 시점에서 고속모드 동작을 통해 빠르게 최대 전력점으로 추종한다. 최대 전력점에 도달하면 가변 스텝 모드로 변경하여 듀티 스텝 사이즈를 감소시켜 최대 전력점을 추종한다. PV 패널, 부스트 컨버터로 구성된 PV 시스템의 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하였다.
