  • This paper introduces a systematic top-down and bottom-up design methodology to assist the designer in the implementation of continuous-time (CT) cascade sigma-delta (${\Sigma}{\Delta}$) modulators. The salient features of this methodology are (a) flexible behavioral modeling for optimum accuracy-efficiency trade-offs at different stages of the top-down synthesis process, (b) direct synthesis in the continuous-time domain for minimum circuit complexity and sensitivity, (c) mixed knowledge-based and optimization-based architectural exploration and specification transmission for enhanced circuit performance, and (d) use of Pareto-optimal fronts of building blocks to reduce re-design iterations. The applicability of this methodology will be illustrated via the design of a 12-bit 20 MHz CT ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ modulator in a 1.2 V 130 nm CMOS technology.

  • This paper proposes a novel scheme of fault detection and self-recovery for space-borne dual ring counters subject to transient faults. The considered ring counter is equipped with hardware redundancy, but it has a limited output domain where direct access to the current state is unavailable. We employ the theory of corrective control to detect any transient fault occurring to the counter bits and to realize immediate self-recovery of the ring counter back to the normal state. The structure of the fault-tolerant controller is designed to be minimal regardless of the counter size. To validate the applicability, we implement the proposed system on a commercial FGPA board.

  • A linear quarter model of a vehicle suspension system is built and simulated. Especially the so-called sensitivity analysis is conducted in order to show its applicability to design problems, and sensitivity function is determined in the frequency domain. The change of frequency response function is predicted, which depends on the design parameter variation and the property is verified by computer simulation. Typical performance measures, namely, sprung mass acceleration, suspension deflection, and tire deflection are examined. The vehicle model is analyzed for ist performance sensitivity as a function of the system's feedback gains. The variable feedback gains are selected as the spring and damping coefficients. Frequency response, RMS response, and performance index of the performance evaluation variables are considered and three-dimensional and contour plots of response surfaces are formed to examine output sensitivity to suspension feedback. Performance trade-offs over the entire frequency spectrum are identified from the FRF, and that between ride quality and handling characteristics are examined from the RMS responses.

  • In this paper, the robust PID(Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller was designed for speed control of BLDC motors using the frequency region model matching method. It was designed the robust PID controller satisfying disturbance attenuation and robust tracking performance using an H$\infty$ control method. The robust PID controller gains with the performances of the designed H$\infty$ controller are determined using the model matching method at frequency domain. Consequently, simulation results show that the proposed PID speed controller satisfies load torque disturbance attenuation and robust tracking performance, and this study has usefulness and applicability for the speed control system design of BLDC motors.

  • It is becoming hard to maintain web applications because of high complexity and duplication of web pages. However, most of research about code clone is focusing on code hunks, and their target is limited to a specific language. Thus, we propose GSIM, a language-independent statistical approach to detect similar pages based on scarcity and frequency of customized tokens. The tokens, which can be obtained from pages splitted by a set of given separators, are defined as atomic elements for calculating similarity between two pages. In this paper, the domain definition for web applications and algorithms for collecting tokens, making matrics, calculating similarity are given. We also conducted experiments on open source codes for evaluation, with our GSIM tool. The results show the applicability of the proposed method and the effects of parameters such as threshold, toughness, length of tokens, on their quality and performance.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential application of TERRA-ASTER data in Thailand. ASTER VNIR, SWIR and TIR data covering greater Bangkok and Chiangmai province were processed with various techniques in the spatial domain to study the applicability to various disciplines. ASTER data was also combined with other satellite data in order to utilize multi-sensor methods. It was found that VNIR data can clearly identify urban pattern including road network and vegetation index. While SWIR and TIR data can well separate between urban and non urban area and TIR data can differentiate among thermal surfaces. Furthermore, dense urban areas such as central business area could be highlighted. Land utilization, vegetable distribution and differences of temperature distribution were investigated.

  • The essential idea of the element-free Galerkin method (EFG) is that moving least-squares (MLS) approximation are used for the trial and test functions with the variational principle (weak form). By using the weighted orthogonal basis function to construct the MLS interpolants, we derive the formulae for an improved element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method for solving three-dimensional problems in linear elasticity. There are fewer coefficients in improved moving least-squares (IMLS) approximation than in MLS approximation. Also fewer nodes are selected in the entire domain with the IEFG method than is the case with the conventional EFG method. In this paper, we selected a few example problems to demonstrate the applicability of the method.

  • An acousto-optic tunable filter based 3-D micro surface profile measurement using an equally spaced 5 spectral phase shifting is described. The 5-bucket spectral phase shifting method is compared with a Fourier-transform method in the spectral domain. It can provide a fast measurement capability while maintaining high accuracy since it needs only 5 pieces of spectrally phase shifted imaging data and a simple calculation in comparison with the Fourier transform method that requires full wavelength scanning data and relatively complicated computation. The 3-D profile data of micro objects can be obtained in a few seconds with an accuracy of ${\sim}10nm$. The 3-D profile method also has an inherent benefit in terms of being speckle-free in measuring diffuse micro objects by employing an incoherent light source. Those simplicity and practical applicability is expected to have diverse applications in 3-D micro profilometry such as semiconductors and micro-biology.

  • With the development of AI technology, there is a growing discussion about Text-to-Image Generative AI. We presented a Generative AI video production method and delineated a methodology for the production of personalized AI-generated videos with the objective of broadening the landscape of the video domain. And we meticulously examined the procedural steps involved in AI-driven video production and directly implemented a video creation approach utilizing the VQGAN-CLIP model. The outcomes produced by the VQGAN-CLIP model exhibited a relatively moderate resolution and frame rate, and predominantly manifested as abstract images. Such characteristics indicated potential applicability in OTT-based video content or the realm of visual arts. It is anticipated that AI-driven video production techniques will see heightened utilization in forthcoming endeavors.

  • The mechanical properties of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with 100 percent Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) under loading rates were investigated in depth. The theoretical model was validated utilizing the RAC elastic modulus obtained from cylindrical specimens subjected to various strain rates. Viscoelastic theories have traditionally been used to describe creep and relaxation of viscoelastic materials at low strain rates. In this study, viscoelastic theories were extended to the time domain of high strain rates. The theory proposed was known as reversed viscoelastic theory. Normalized Dirichlet-Prony theory was used as an illustration, and its parameters were determined. Comparing the predicted results to the experimental data revealed a high level of concordance. This methodology demonstrated its ability to characterize the strain rate effect for viscoelastic materials, as well as its applicability for determining not only the elastic modulus for viscoelastic materials, but also their shear and bulk moduli.
