In this paper, analysis of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter in DTC-SVM (Direct Torque Control-Space Vector Modulation) based induction motor drive for FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) is presented. Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter uses multiple series units of H-bridge power cells to achieve medium-voltage operation and low harmonic distortion. In FCEV, a fuel cell stack is used as the major source of electric power moreover the battery and/or ultra-capacitor is used to assist the fuel cell. These sources are suitable for utilizing in cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. The drive control strategy is based on DTC-SVM technique. In this scheme, first, stator voltage vector is calculated and then realized by SVM method. Contribution of multilevel inverter to the DTC-SVM scheme is led to achieve high performance motor drive. Simulations are carried out in Matlab-Simulink. Five-level and nine-level inverters are applied in 3hp FCEV induction motor drive for analysis the multilevel inverter. Each H-bridge is implemented using one fuel cell and battery. Good dynamic control and low ripple in the torque and the flux as well as distortion decrease in voltage and current profiles, demonstrate the great performance of multilevel inverter in DTC-SVM induction motor drive for vehicle application.

The head to disk spacing must be decreased to increase recording densities in hard disk drives. Recently, to decrease the head to disk spacing, smooth disk having no bumps onto the lading zone has used. In this research, we compared the number of particles generated ill HDD with smooth and textured disks. We used a sampling method using a particle sampler and a CPC (condensation particle counter) to detect particles in HDD. First, we sampled and counted particles generated with disk rotational speed and various rest times when the smooth disk and textured disks were used, then analyzed the sampled particles by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and AES (auger electron spectroscopy). In results of measuring particles, more particles in case of LZT disk drive generated than that of the smooth disk drive in all test modes. The number of particles generated in the smooth disk was very low. The particle generation increased as the rest time increased (smooth/LZT disks) and more particles in case of LZT disk drive generated than that of the smooth disk drive. In results of analyzing particle components, Al, Ti, Si components were detected and we could not found differences between components in case of smooth/LZT disk drive.

In some requirements of dc motor drive circuit applications are high quality output with generation of low internal conducted EMI. However the conventional dc motor drive circuits have been usually using unbalanced circuit which generates the high conducted EMI to the frame ground. This paper presents a balanced dc motor drive circuit which is effective way to reduce the common-mode noise. The circuit balancing is to make the noise pick up or occurring in both conductor lines, signal path and return path is equal in amplitude and opposite phase so that it will cancel out in the frame ground. The common-mode conducted noise reduction of this proposed dc motor drive is confirmed by experimental results.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the case of 'drive-thru' services newly introduced and tried in libraries in Korea under the influence of COVID-19, and to develop and propose a service model so that this service can be continuously applied to all libraries in the future. Therefore, the method of study was selected and analyzed by selecting one of the representative libraries that provide related services in Seoul Special City, Incheon Metropolitan City, and Anyang City of Gyeonggi Province. In addition, a focus group interview was conducted with twelve people in charge to find a way to apply the drive-thru service to the library. As a result, the library's drive-thru service is a way to fulfill the library's original purpose of providing information materials while minimizing faceto-face contact with users. It was concluded that it is a suitable method for a library of complex buildings, where there is a lack of parking space. In addition, it was deduced that it may be one of the ways to use the library efficiently for office workers who are unable to use library services during the opening hours. Therefore, if the drive-thru service is implemented according to the developed model, it is expected to increase the library visit rate and data utilization rate.

In this paper, a frequency split type broadband drive amplifier operating in the L, S and C bands was designed and fabricated. Transistor is difficult to efficiently use when the fractional bandwidth of the drive amplifier is more than 100%, In particular, the characteristics of the driving amplifier are important for operating the power amplifier in which the characteristics of the output power and the efficiency are sensitively changed according to the frequency band. A frequency split methods was applied to maximize the bandwidth of a drive amplifier and to divide the output of the drive amplifier into low band and high band so that the transistor of the power amplifier located at the rear of the drive amplifier can be efficiently used. The designed drive amplifier was fabricated in GaAs HBT technology and 9-layer SiP, and verified by the measurements. The fabricated drive amplifier shows a gain of more than 8 dB and an output power of more than 15 dBm in the operating frequency range.

Recently as the application of gear drive increases in high-speed and high-loading, the concern of designing multi-stage gear drive is being risen. Until now however, the research of gear drive is focused on single-stage gear drive and the design depends on experiences and know-how of designer and is carried out by trial and error. This research automated the basic design and the configuration design for two and three-stage gear drives which consist of cylindrical gears. In basic design, design is executed with two design processes, which minimize the overall volume of gear, and whose results are compared each other. In configuration design, the positions of gears are determined to minimize the volume of gearbox using the result of basic design and simulated annealing algorithm.

A fracture of hand held device, such as radio, TV and CD-RW drive, mainly occurs due to drop situation. For CD-RW drive, the need of high reading/writing speed in conjunction with low price accelerates the fracture of the device. Computer simulation can reduce the period of development and enhance impact characteristic of device. In this study, the detailed finite element model of CD-RW drive was developed to predict the damage under drop conditions. Material property for shock absorbing damper was obtained from tensile test of raw material. A MOONEY-RIVLIN type rubber in LS-DYNA was used as the material model of damper. To assess the reliability of the developed model, drop test at 200G-2msec and 150G-10msec condition was conducted and acceleration at pick-up was compared.

Recently, there has been much interest in practical use of standardized HD map that can effectively define roads, lanes, junctions, road signs, and road facilities in autonomous driving. Various kinds of de jure or de facto standards such as ISO 22726-1, ISO 14296, HERE HD Live map, NDS open lane model, OpenDRIVE, and NGII HD map are currently being used. However, there are lots of differences in data modeling among these standards, it makes difficult to use them together in autonomous driving. Therefore, we propose a data model conversion method to enable an efficient use of various kinds of HD map standards in autonomous driving in this study. Specifically, we propose a conversion method between the NGII HD map model, which is easily accessible in the country, and the OpenDRIVE model, which is commonly used in the autonomous driving industry. The proposed method consists of simple conversion of NGII HD map layers into OpenDRIVE objects, new OpenDRIVE objects creation corresponding to NGII HD map layers, and linear transformation of NGII HD map layers for OpenDRIVE objects creation. Finally, we converted some test data of NGII HD map into OpenDRIVE objects, and checked the conversion results through Carla simulator. We expect that the proposed method will greatly contribute to improving the use of NGII HD map in autonomous driving.
