Purpose : The effects of step numbers of copper wedge and exposure on the coefficient of determination (r²) of the conversion equation to Cu-equivalent image and on the Cu-equivalent value (mmCu) and it's coefficient of variation measured at each copper step and the mandibular premolar area were evaluated. Method: Digital image analyzing system consisted of scanner, personal computer, and a stepwedge with 10 steps of 0.03 mm copper in thickness as reference material was prepared for quantitative assessment of the bone mineral density. NIH image program was used for analyzing images. Results : The film having moderately high film density showed the discrepancy between the real thickness and the measured Cu-equivalent value of each copper step. The Cu-equivalent image was dependent on the determinational coefficient of the conversion equation than the coefficient of variance of the measured value. Conclusion : Obtaining conversion equation with high coefficient of determination and proper film exposure are supposed to be neccessary for quantitative assessment of bone density. Multiple steps in the range of the corresponding copper thickness to the bone density of the area to be measured should be prepared.

An External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp (EEFL) has longer lifespan, higher power efficiency and higher luminance than a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL). Moreover, it is easy to drive them in parallel. Therefore, the EEFL is expected to quickly replace the CCFL in LCD backlight systems. However, the EEFL has more complex characteristics than the CCFL with a resistive component, because it has both a resistive component by plasma and a capacitive component by external electrode. In this paper, values of resistance and capacitance are measured at several power levels and at several operating frequencies. They are expressed by a numeral formula based on a linear approximation that represents the equivalent resistance and capacitance as a function of power. Then we made block diagram of the equivalent circuit model using numerical expressions. Simulation waveforms and experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the equivalent model.

The voltage variation problem at the point of common coupling (PCC) in a grid-connected wind turbine is investigated. The voltage variation problem is one of the most frequent power quality issues for the grid connection of large amounts of input power in a weak grid. Through the simplified modeling of the wind turbine and power network, the magnitude of PCC voltage variation is calculated by using the equivalent circuit parameters and output power of the wind turbine. The required amount of reactive power that can compensate the voltage variation is also presented analytically by using the vector diagram method. The proposed calculation and compensation method of the PCC voltage variation is verified by computer simulations and experiments.

주성분분석은 차원축소를 위한 대표적 기법이다. 주성분분석에서 변수들이 측정단위가 다르거나 분산의 불균형이 심할 경우 흔히 변수를 표준화한 다음 분석할 것이 권장된다. 표준화 변환은 표준편차를 나누어주는 변환인데, 측정단위에 무관하게 만들기 위해서라면 평균을 나누어주는 변환도 고려해볼 수 있다. 표준화 변환을 한 다음 주성분분석하는 것은 상관행렬로 주성분분석하는 것과 같은데, 평균을 나누어주는 변환을 한 후 주성분분석하는 것은 변동계수와 관련된 행렬로 주성분분석하는 것과 같음을 보이고, 그렇게 변환을 한 다음 주성분분석을 실시하는 것이 왜 필요한가를 설명하였다.

The Round-Robin Test (RRT) for ground response analysis was performed by Division of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering of Korean Geotechnical Society. This research analyzed the influence of analysis methods on variation of ground response by using the results of this RRT. The analysis methods include equivalent linear analysis, non-linear analysis and effective stress analysis. A total of 5 teams among 12 teams applied two kinds of analysis methods. This research compared the results of these 5 teams and analyzed the variation of the results according to analysis methods. The compared results were shear stress-shear strain relation, transfer function, time history and the response spectrum of ground surface acceleration, peak ground acceleration, peak shear strain and maximum excess pore pressure ratio.

In this paper, a new model for mobile soccer robot, a type of linear system, is presented. A controller, consisting of two loops the one of which is the inner state feedback loop designed for stability and plant be well conditioned and the outer loop is a well-known PI controller designed for tracking the reference input, is suggested. Because the plant, the soccer robot, is parameter dependent, it requires the controller to be insensitive to the parameter variation. To achieve this objective, the pole-sensitivity as a pole-variation with respect to the parameter variation is defined and design algorithms for state-feedback controllers are suggested, consisting of two matrices one of which is for general pole-placement and other for parameter insensitive. This paper shows that the PI controller is equivalent to the state feedback and the cost function for reference tracking is equivalent to the LQ cost. By using these properties, we suggest a tuning procedure for the PI controller. We that the control algorithm in this paper, based on the linear system theory, is well work by simulation, and the LPD system modeling and control are more easy treatment for soccer robot.

This paper presents sliding mode control(SMC) method using target variation rate of Lypunov Function. SMC keeps the response of structure in sliding surface where structure is stable. It can design both linear controller and bang-bang controller. Linear control of previous research, however, can not make most of the performance of controller, because it is designed to satisfy the condition that the variation rate of Lyapunov function is minus. Also, incase of bang-bang controller, unnecessary large control force is generated. Presented method can utilize the capacity of controller efficiently by prescribing the target variation rate of Lyapunov function. Numerical simulation results indicate that the presented control methods can reduce the peak response larger than linear control, and it has control performance equivalent to bang-bang control.

2002년 3월에 발사되어 현재까지 임무 수행중인 GRACE위성의 관측자료는 극지방 빙하의 융해, 빙하 지각균형 조정, 해수면 변화, 하천유역의 저수량변화, 대규모 지진 등 지구시스템의 질량재분배에 대한 연구에 활발히 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GRACE위성의 Level-2 월별 중력장 모델을 이용하여 2002년 8월부터 2009년 1월 사이 양자강유역의 육지저수량 변화를 분석하였으며, 특히는 2003년, 2006년 및 2008년에 수행된 삼협댐의 3단계 저수과정에 의한 삼협댐 지역에서의 중력변화를 등가수분두께로 계산하여 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 연구기간 내의 양자강유역은 뚜렷한 연변화와 계절변화를 나타내었으며, 연변화의 진폭은 2.3cm로 계산되었다. 또한, 실제 수자원통계자료 및 수문관측자료와의 비교를 통하여 GRACE위성자료 이용 가능성을 확인하였으며, 이는 향후 위성중력자료를 이용하여 하천유역 내에서의 물의 이동 및 주기적인 변화 연구에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
