The innovative intelligent fuzzy weighted input estimation method which efficiently and robustly estimates the unknown time-varying input force in on-line is presented in this paper. The algorithm includes the Kalman Filter (KF) and the recursive least square estimator (RLSE), which is weighted by the fuzzy weighting factor proposed based on the fuzzy logic inference system. To directly synthesize the Kalman filter with the estimator, this work presents an efficient robust forgetting zone, which is capable of providing a reasonable compromise between the tracking capability and the flexibility against noises. The capability of this inverse method are demonstrated in the input force estimation cases of the plate structure system. The proposed algorithm is further compared by alternating between the constant and adaptive weighting factors. The results show that this method has the properties of faster convergence in the initial response, better target tracking capability, and more effective noise and measurement bias reduction.

We introduce a novel method for reconstructing the projected dark matter mass maps of merging galaxy clusters by applying the convolutional neural network (CNN) to their weak lensing maps. We generate synthesized grayscale images from given weak lensing maps that preserve their averaged galaxy ellipticity. We then apply them to multi-layered CNN with architectures of alternating convolution and trans-convolution filters to predict the mass maps. We train our architecture with 1,000 Subaru/Suprime-Cam mock weak lensing maps, and our method have better mass map prediction than the Kaiser-Squires method with the following three aspects: (1) better pixel-to-pixel correlation, (2) more accurate finding of density peak position, and (3) free from mass-sheet degeneracy. We also apply our method to the HST weak lensing map of the El Gordo cluster and compare our result to the previous studies.

The existence of abnormal breakpoint data leads to poor channel balance in wireless sensor networks (WSN). To enhance the communication quality of WSNs, a method for positioning abnormal breakpoint data in WSNs on the basis of signal reconstruction is studied. The WSN signal is collected using compressed sensing theory; the common part of the associated data set is mined by exchanging common information among the cluster head nodes, and the independent parts are updated within each cluster head node. To solve the non-convergence problem in the distributed computing, the approximate term is introduced into the optimization objective function to make the sub-optimization problem strictly convex. And the decompressed sensing signal reconstruction problem is addressed by the alternating direction multiplier method to realize the distributed signal reconstruction of WSNs. Based on the reconstructed WSN signal, the abnormal breakpoint data is located according to the characteristic information of the cross-power spectrum. The proposed method can accurately acquire and reconstruct the signal, reduce the bit error rate during signal transmission, and enhance the communication quality of the experimental object.

본 연구는 강편 빌레트의 표면 결함을 검출하기 위한 건식 자분 탐상에 관한 것으로 자분 탐상능을 대상체에 흘리는 자화 전류, 대상체의 온도, 자분의 총 분사량 등에 대하여 평가하였다. 선재 제품의 등급에 따라 필요로 하는 몇 가지 강종을 선택하여 강종별 자기적 특성을 평가하였으며, 이를 입력 자료로 하여 유한 요소법에 의한 자기 해석을 행하였고, 그 결과를 직류 자화 전류에 의한 누설 자속 측정 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 교류 자화 전류에 의한 건식 자분 탐상능을 직류 자화 전류에 의한 탐상능과 비교하여 강종 및 자화 전류의 유형에 따른 자화 전류치를 결정하였다. 직류 자화 전류에 의한 자분 탐상 결과를 유한 요소법에 의한 계산과 비교하였고, 빌레트의 표면과 표면 결함 부위에서 측정한 누설 자속으로 비교 결과를 평가하였다. 각 강편재의 경우 직류 자화 전류에 의한 표면 자장은 그 형상에 의한 영향으로 코너 부위에서는 면 중앙의 표면 자장치에 비해 30% 정도였으며, 교류 자화 전류에 의해서는 그 비율이 70% 정도였다. 교류 자화 전류는 코너로부터 면중앙으로 10mm 되는 영역을 제외하고는 전 면에서 균일한 표면 자장을 발생하였다. 대상체의 온도에 따른 자분의 흡착은 대상체의 온도 $150^{\circ}C$ 까지는 큰 변화가 없으나 자분의 고착에 있어서 $60^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온재에 대해서는 융착 용매로 메틸렌 크로라이드를 사용하는 것이 부적합하였다. 자분의 총분사량은 자분 탐상능에 상당히 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였고 이에 대한 정량적 평가를 행하였다.

본 논문에서는 ML(maximum likelihood) 원리와 디지탈 통신 시스템의 고유 특성인 유한 알파벳 특성(FAP: finite alphabet properties)에 근거한 블라인드 최대비 결합(MRC: maximal ratio combining)을 위한 간단한 방법들을 제안한다. 이 방법들은 아주 작은 길이의 데이터를 가지고도 채널 파라미터들을 정확하게 추정할 수 있기 때문에, 이 방법들을 사용하면 거의 완벽한 최대비 결합을 수행할 수 있다. 이 방법들은 교번투영 기법(alternating projection technique)을 이용하여 다이버시티 가지들에 대한 채널 파라미터와 데이터 시퀀스를 동시에 추정한다. 두 가지 다른 JC-DSE (joint combining and data sequence estimation)방법과 PC-BPE (pre-combining and blind phase estimation) 방법이 제안되며, 전영역 최적화를 보장할 수 있도록 하는 효율적인 초기화 방법도 제시된다. 모의실험 결과들을 통하여, 제안된 두가지 방법의 심볼 오류율과 채널 파라미터의 추정 정확도에 관한 성능을 보여준다.

Silicon heterojunction solar cells have been studied by many research groups. In this work, silicon heterojunction solar cells having a simple structure of Ag/ZnO:Al/n type a-Si:H/p type c-Si/Al were fabricated. Samples were fabricated to investigate the effect of transparent conductive oxide growth conditions on the interface between ZnO:Al layer and a-Si:H layer. One sample was deposited by ZnO:Al at low working pressure. The other sample was deposited by ZnO:Al at alternating high working pressure and low working pressure. Electrical properties and chemical properties were investigated by light I-V characteristics and AES method, respectively. The light I-V characteristics showed better efficiency on sample deposited by ZnO:Al by alternating high working pressure and low working pressure. Atomic concentrations and relative oxidation states of Si, O, and Zn were analyzed by AES method. For poor efficiency samples, Si was diffused into ZnO:Al layer and O was diffused at the interface of ZnO:Al and Si. Differentiated O KLL spectra, Zn LMM spectra, and Si KLL spectra were used for interface reaction and oxidation state. According to AES spectra, sample deposited by high working pressure was effective at reducing the interface reaction and the Si diffusion. Consequently, the efficiency was improved by suppressing the SiOx formation at the interface.

지금까지 궤도회로는 레일을 전기회로의 일부로 사용하여 열차의 위치 검지용으로만 사용하였으나 철도차량이 고속화 되면서, 지상신호의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 차상신호시스템의 사용이 일반화 되어가고 있다. 궤도회로의 전원은 직류나 고전압 임펄스를 사용하던 방식에서 가청주파수를 사용하는 고주파 교류궤도회로의 사용이 일반화 되고 있다. 철도도상도 환경과 궤도의 유지보수성 개선을 위하여 철근콘크리트 도상의 사용이 증대되고 있다. 철근 콘크리트 도상에서 고주파 교류궤도회로를 사용할 경우 도상의 내구성 향상을 위하여 사용되는 수많은 격자모양의 철근들로 인하여 전기적 절연에 의한 누설전류가 아닌 자기결합에 의한 손실로 인한 궤도정수의 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 본 논문은 철근콘크리트도상에서 AF(Audio Frequency)궤도회로를 사용하였을 경우 도상 철근에 의한 궤도회로신호의 영향과 손실을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 알아보고 이를 방지할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

Tumor-treating fields therapy involves placing pads onto the patient's skin to create a low- intensity (1 - 3 V/cm), intermediate frequency (100 - 300 kHz), alternating electric field to treat cancerous tumors. This new treatment modality has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the USA to treat patients with both newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma. To deliver the prescribed electric field intensity to the tumor while minimizing exposure of organs at risk, we developed an optimization method for the electric field distribution in the body and compared the electric field distribution in the body before and after application of this optimization algorithm. To determine the electric field distribution in the body before optimization, we applied the same electric potential to all pairs of electric pads located on opposite sides of models. We subsequently adjusted the intensity of the electric field to each pair of pads to optimize the electric field distribution in the body, resulting in the prescribed electric field intensity to the tumor while minimizing electric fields at organs at risk. A comparison of the electric field distribution within the body before and after optimization showed that application of the optimization algorithm delivered a therapeutically effective electric field to the tumor while minimizing the average and the maximum field strength applied to organs at risk. Use of this optimization algorithm when planning tumor-treating fields therapy should maintain or increase the intensity of the electric field applied to the tumor while minimizing the intensity of the electric field applied to organs at risk. This would enhance the effectiveness of tumor-treating fields therapy while reducing dangerous side effects.

One of the consequences of the 475 ℃ embrittlement of duplex stainless steels is the reduction of the resistance to localized corrosion. Therefore, the detection of this type of embrittlement before the material exhibits significant loss in toughness, and corrosion resistance is important to ensure the structural integrity of critical components under corrosion threats. In this research, conductivity measurements are performed using the alternating current potential drop (ACPD) technique with using a portable four-point probe as a nondestructive evaluation (NDE) method for detecting the embrittlement in a 2507 (UNS S32750) super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) aged at 475 ℃ from as-received condition to 300 h. The electric conductivity results were compared against two electrochemical tests namely double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) and critical pitting temperature (CPT). Mechanical tests and the microstructure characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging are conducted to track the progress of embrittlement. It is shown that the electric conductivity correlates with the changes in impact energy, microhardness, and CPT corrosion tests result demonstrating the feasibility of the four-point probe as a possible field-deployable method for evaluating the 475 ℃ embrittlement of 2507 SDSS.

The elements that impact the dynamics and collaborations of waves and particles in the magnetosphere of planets have been considered here. Saturn's internal magnetosphere is determined by substantiated instabilities and discovered to be an exceptional zone of wave activity. Interchanged instability is found to be one of the responsible events in view of temperature anisotropy and energization processes of magnetospheric species. The generated active ions alongside electrons that constitute the populations of highly magnetized planets like Saturn's ring electron current are taken into consideration in the current framework. The previous and similar method of characteristics and the perturbed distribution function have been used to derive dispersion relation. In incorporating this investigation, the characteristics of electromagnetic ion cyclotron wave (EMIC) waves are determined by the composition of ions in plasmas through which the waves propagate. The effect of ring distribution illustrates non-monotonous description on growth rate (GR) depending upon plasma parameters picked out. Observations made by Cassini found appropriate for modern study, have been applied to the Kronian magnetosphere. Using Maxwellian ring distribution function of ions and detailed mathematical formulation, an expression for dispersion relation as well as GR and real frequency (RF) are evaluated. Analysis of plasma parameters shows that, proliferating EMIC waves are not developed much when propagation is parallelly aligned with magnetosphere as compared to waves propagating in oblique direction. GR for the oblique case, is influenced by temperature anisotropy as well as by alternating current (AC) frequency, whereas it is much affected only by AC frequency for parallel propagating waves.
