This paper discusses details of modeling and robust control of an AMB (active magnetic bearing) spindle, and part I presents a modeling and validation process of the AMB spindle. There are many components in AMB spindle : electromagnetic actuator, sensor, rotor, power amplifier and digital controller. If each component is carefully modeled and evaluated, the components have tight structured uncertainty bounds and achievable performance of the system increases. However, since some unknown dynamics may exist and the augmented plant could show some discrepancy with the real plant, the validation of the augmented plant is needed through measuring overall frequency responses of the actual plant. In addition, it is necessary to combine several components and identify them with a reduced order model. First, all components of the AMB spindle are carefully modeled and identified based on experimental data, which also render valuable information in quantifying structured uncertainties. Since sensors, power amplifiers and discretization dynamics can be considered as time delay components, such dynamics are combined and identified with a reduced order. Then, frequency responses of the open-loop plant are measured through closed-loop experiments to validate the augmented plant. The whole modeling process gives an accurate nominal model of a low order for the robust control design.

Purpose: This study aimed at exploring treatment delay (TD) among cancer patients in China with an attempt to develop a practical methodology facilitating frontline Chinese clinicians in promoting earlier cancer diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods: The study comprised framework development, qualitative interviews and paired factor rating. Framework development utilized systematic literature review, soft systems thinking and consensus groups. Qualitative interviews employed a checklist of open questions soliciting information about all the domains included the framework from cancer patients drawn via stratified randomized sampling of inpatients at 10 hospitals in Hefei, China. Paired factor rating used a self-developed computer aid and the interviewed patients as referring cases to weigh the relative importance of the factors listed in the framework in terms of their contributions to specific components of total delay (TD). Results: a) A conceptual framework was proposed consisting of a 6-step path to TD and 36 category determinants. b) A total of 227 patients were interviewed; their TD was 267.3 mean or 108 median days ranging from 0 to 2475 days; average appraisal, illness, behavioral, preparation and treatment delay accounted for 52.1%, 9.4%, 0.30%, 8.8% and 29.4% of the TD respectively. Individual side factors were rated substantially more important than environmental side factors (60% vs. 40%); most influential TD factors included cancer symptoms, overall health, family relations and knowledge about cancer and health. Conclusions: The framework proposed together with the interviewing and rating approaches used provide a potential new methodology for understanding cancer patients' TD and promoting earlier cancer treatment.

IEEE 802.1 TSN(Time Sensitive Network) TG(Task Group)는 이더넷을 기반으로 지연시간 보장 및 패킷 무손실 서비스를 제공하는 기술의 표준화를 진행 중이다. 본 연구는 다양한 TSN 기술 중 패킷 포워딩 기술에 주목한다. TSN의 포워딩 기술은 크게 동기형과 비동기형으로 구분할 수 있다. 동기형은 시간 동기화 기술을 바탕으로 정해진 시간 구간을 정해진 class에 할당하는 기술이지만 대규모 네트워크에서 사용하기 어렵다. 비동기 기술은 트래픽 regulation과 class 별 스케줄링을 바탕으로 지연시간 보장을 약속하지만 필요 이상으로 복잡한 구조를 가진다. 본 논문에서는 비동기형 TSN 네트워크 구조를 보다 간단히 만들면서도 지연시간을 보장하는 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 통해 플로우의 상태를 저장하여 regulation 결정에 사용해야 하는 복잡성을 배제할 수 있었다. 이러한 간단한 구조에도 불구하고 높은 우선순위 트래픽의 최대 패킷길이를 일정 수준 이하로 제한하면 TSN의 요구사항을 만족시킴을 보였다.

This paper proposes a path planning algorithm to reduce the inspection time of AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) machines for SMT (Surface Mount Technology) in-line system. Since the field-of-view of the camera attached at the machine is much less than the entire inspection region of board, the inspection region should be clustered to many groups. The image acquisition time depends on the number of groups, and camera moving time depends on the sequence of visiting the groups. The acquired image is processed while the camera moves to the next position, but it may be delayed if the group includes many components to be inspected. The inspection delay has influence on the overall job time of the machine. In this paper, we newly considers the inspection delay time for path planning of the inspection machine. The unified approach using genetic algorithm is applied to generates the groups and visiting sequence simultaneously. The chromosome, crossover operator, and mutation operator is proposed to develop the genetic algorithm. The experimental results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

This paper focuses on congestion control for ATM network with uncertain time-variant delays. The time-variant delays can be distinguished into two distinct components. The first one is represented by time-variant queueing delays in the intermediate switches that are occurred in the return paths of RM cells. The next one is a forward path delay. It is solved by the VBR model which quantifies the data propagation from the sources to the switch. Robust $H_8$ control is studied for solving congestion problem with norm-bounded time-varying uncertain parameters. The suitable robust $H_8$ controller is obtained from the solution of a convex optimization problem through LMI technique.

This paper deals with the time synchronization problem over SpaceWire links. SpaceWire is a standard for high-speed links and networks between spacecraft components, which was invented for better, cheaper, faster on-board data handling in spacecraft. The standard defines Time-Code for time distribution over SpaceWire network. When a Time-Code is transmitted, transmission delay and jitter is unavoidable. In this paper, a mechanism to remove Time-Code transmission delay and jitter over SpaceWire links is proposed and implemented with FPGA for validation. The proposed mechanism achieves high resolution clock synchronization over SpaceWire links, complies with the standard and can be easily adopted over SpaceWire network.

In this paper, we study the reliability analysis of a repairable system with two types of failure in which switching failures and reboot delay are considered. Let units in this system be cold standby, and failure rate and repair rate of [type1, type2] components be exponentially distributed. The expressions of reliability characteristics - such as the system reliability and the mean time to system failure MTTF - are derived. We use several cases to graphically analyze the effect of various system parameters on the system reliability and MTTF. We also perform a sensitivity analysis of the reliability characteristics with changes in specific values of the system's parameters.

A circuit design technique to reduce the propagation time is proposed for the analog parallel processing-based Viterbi decoder. The analog Viterbi decoder implements the function of the conventional digital Viterbi decoder utilizing the analog parallel processing circuit technology. The decoder is for the PR(1.2,2.1) signal of DVD. The benefits are low power consumption and less silicon occupation. In this paper, a propagation time reduction technique is proposed by minimizing the parasitic capacitance components in the layout design of the analog Viterbi decoder. The propagation time reduction effect of the proposed technique has been shown via HSPICE simulation.
