The high efficiency power management IC(PMIC) for Moblie application is proposed in this paper. PMIC is controlled with PWM control method in order to have high power efficiency at high current level. The saw-tooth generator is made to have 1.2 MHz oscillation frequency and full range of output swing from ground to supply voltage(VDD:3.3V). The comparator is designed with two stage OP amplifier. And the error amplifier has 70dB DC gain and $64^{\circ}$ phase margin. DC-DC converter, based on Voltage-mode PWM control circuits, achieved the high efficiency near 95% at 100mA output current. DC-DC converter is designed with LDO in stand-by mode which fewer than 1mA for high efficiency.

In this paper, we newly introduce the three-level byte-inversion transmission method for preventing LED flicker in visible light communication (VLC). The VLC transmitter sequentially sends the original signal and the inverted signal in byte units using a three-level LED modulator. The average optical power of the LED is kept constant during data transmission, thus flicker-free. In the VLC receiver, the original data is easily recovered using a simple comparator. This structure is very simple because additional clock or carrier is not required for flicker prevention. The developed flicker prevention scheme could be very useful for constructing the flicker-free indoor VLC system in low cost.

In this paper, we introduce the implementation of high accurate level sensor system using the pulse wave type magnetostriction sensor. When a current pulse flows along the waveguide, the magnetic field also propagates towards the end of waveguide. When this magnetic field just passes the position of the magnet for level detection, the resultant magnetic field by these two magnetic fields makes a torsional reflected signal. This is used to calculate the time difference between a interrogation pulse wave and this torsional reflected signal. The key elements and characteristics were investigated to implement level sensor system based on this principle. We introduce a method to calculate the speed of ultrasonic reflected signal and how to make a model of sensing coil. In particular, we experiment with the characteristics of the torsional reflected signal according to the changes of the interrogation voltage and displacement. To make high accurate level sensor system, two methods were compared. One is to use the comparator and time counter, the other is STFT(Short Time FFT) which is capable of the time-frequency analysis.

The bundle adjustment used in photogrammetric data reduction is based on the collinearity condition. Photogrammetry has been used in many non-topographic applications. Due to the necessities of having fiducial marks and knowing initial approximations for interior and exterior orientation elements in bundle adjustment, it cannot be applied when non-metric cameras are used. Marzan and Karara develop the DLT(Direct Linear Transformation) program which directly transforms comparator coordinates into object space coordinates without approximate values. In this paper, several modifications of original DLT program have been made for accuracy improvement in close-range photogrammetry using non-metric cameras. In modified program, gross error detection method and computation of exterior orientation elements are incorporated, and more iterations are introdued.

This paper presents a new interpolation algorithm for measuring high resolution position information which is prepared to a nino servo control motor using analog quadrature encoder. In the past, there are large capacity of memory(ROM or RAM) and two high price and resolution A/D(Analog-to-Digital Converter) for sensing two quadrature signals from a analog sinusoidal encoder interpolation. But high resolution of position from sinusoidal encoder can be obtained by using only small capacity of memory, one A/D converter and comparator. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is useful for measuring high resolution position.

This paper proposes a new technique for improving the efficiency of single phase high frequency switch mode boost converter. This converter includes an additional boost converter that follows the main hish frequency switching device. The additional converter, which is controlled at lower frequencies, bypasses almost all the current in the main switch and the high frequency switching loss is greatly reduced. Both switching devices are controlled by a simple method; each controller consists of a one-shot multivibrator, a comparator and an AND gate, and the maximum switching frequency can be limited without any clock generator. The converter works cooperatively in high efficiency and acts as though it were a conventional high frequency switch mode converter with one switching device. This paper describes the proposed converter configuration, design, and discusses the steady state performance concerning the switching loss reduction and efficiency improvement. and the proposed method is verified by computer simulation.

Radix sort scans the data twice in a pass, to search bit 0s of the items being sorted and store them into the lowest address, and to search bit 1s and st ore them into the following addresses. This doubles the sorting time. In this paper, we introduce Reverse Radix Sort Algorithm, in which the data being sorted are sacnned just once and write upward from the lowest address if it is 0 and downward from the highest address if it is 1. The algorithm is simple and the hardware sorter implemented by this method shows very high sorting sped. Hardware implementation requires two separate pocket memories, register, an upward increasing address counter, a downward decreasing address counter, and comparator. The software simulation of Reverse Radix Sor Algorithm performs sorting in the speed of 54.9ms per 10 thousand of 8 bit digit data, but the hardware sorter spends 5.3ms to sort the same number of data.

An unmanned speed sprayer was developed using a remote control and an inductive cable guidance systems to protect operators and environment from hazardous pesticides. The sprayer consists of a remote control system, an induction system, obstacle detectors, control actuators and an one-chip microcomputer. The sprayer can be operated by the induction guidance and/or remote control. The following summarize characteristics of the developed speed sprayer. 1) Both the remote control and the induction guidance operation were possible with the developed speed sprayer. 2) Sixteen functions of the forwarding, backing, halting, steering, 3-way valve for nozzles and fan operating etc. were utilized on the remote control system. 3) It was concluded that the DTMF method, having less transmitting error, performed better than the FSK method for an agricultural remote controller. A radio station may be necessary. 4) The digital inductive guidance system, consisting of five low-impedance detection coils and a window comparator circuit, performed better than the analog detecting system, guiding route using inductive voltage differential from tow detection coils.

The Cycloconverter that the author is going to treat in this paper, has strong advantages over the D.C. Link Inverter in points of chattering torque problem and natural commutation. Thus, the Cycloconverter is expected to be well applied to large and low-speed machines which require better speed control at low frequency. But the control circuit of Cycloconverter has two weak points described as follows. 1) Because of its rather complicated control circuit, it is likely to be illoperating due to unexpected noise signals, thus the higher the accuracy and reliability of the circuit is required to be, the more the circuit may cost. 2) Because the load current is not purely sinusoidal, the Cycloconverter may possibly be destroyed in case of inaccurate convert switching resulted from the difficulties in detecting the load current-zero and the current direction at the moment. In this paper, the author first of all intends to design and build a modified VVVF-type Noncirculating Current Cycloconverter to which recently proposed control methods are applied for improving the circuit simplicity, the control performance, and the system reliability. And then, experiments for observing the output waveforms of the Cycloconverter which is controlled by Singled-Board Computer using 8086 16-bit microprocesser are carried out. Finally the author concludes the result of this study as follows. 1) By replacing the conventional analog control circuits such as Reference Wave Generator, Cosine Timing Wave Generator, and Comparator with softwares, a great circuit simplicity is achieved. 2) The output of the designed Cycloconverter changes its frequency very fast without showing discontinuity of its waveform, and this waveform characteristics enables the smooth speed control of Induction Motor. 3) The design control circuit of Cycloconverter can be applied to the systems of 12 or 24 pulses because of its short processing period.
