The paper proposes a new multilevel variable output voltage AC/DC Converter for power supply of power amplifiers used in underwater acoustic sensors. The proposed multilevel variable output voltage AC/DC Converter is composed of two parts. One as the input section is the high efficiency phase-shifted PWM full bridge DC-DC converter to get multiport power sources. The other as the output section is composed of two flying-capacitor 3-level DC-DC converters and a diode bridge circuit to get fast-response and multilevel variable output voltage for an envelope amplifier. Also the paper suggests the detailed circuit topology and design guideline of multilevel variable output voltage AC/DC converter. It also proposes the power balanced control method between 3-level converters and the voltage balanced algorithm for flying capacitors. Its characteristics should be verified by the detailed simulation results. It is anticipated that the proposed converter will be used very well for power amplifiers used in underwater acoustic sensors.

A digital retrodirective antenna system is easy to modify and upgrade because it can control the phase information of the output signal toward opposite direction to input signal without a priori knowledge of the arrival direction. Due to this advantage, it is possible to perform fast beam tracking. In this paper, a design digital retrosirective array antenna system according to the number of antenna array by using only one digital PLL which finds angle of delayed phase and we test BER performance of this system. When we transmit data at actual communication system, the data modulated onto carrier frequency in order to shift spectrum from base band to another band. So we simulate system considering carrier frequency according to the number of antenna array. As a result, carrier frequency has no impact on the performance.

Multivarialbe Boiler-Turbine H_\infty Control System Genetic Algorithm Weighting Functions $W_1$(s), $W_2$(s), and design parameter $\gamma$ that are given by Glover-Doyle algorithm, to optimally follow the output of reference model. The first method to do this is that the gains of weighting functions $W_1$(s), $W_2$(s), and design parameter are optimized simultaneously by genetic algorithm with the tournament method that can search more diversely, in the search domain which guarantees the robust stability of system. And the second method is that not only by genetic algorithm with the roulette-wheel method that can search more fast, in that search domain. The boiler-turbine H_\infty control system designed by theabove second method has not only the robust stability to a modeling error but also the the better command tracking preformance than those of the H_\infty control system designed by trial-and-error method and the above first method. Also, this boiler-turbine H_\infty control system has the better performance than that of the LQG/LTR contro lsystem. The effectiveness of this boiler-turbineH_\infty control system is verified by computer simulation.

It is difficult for the movement detection of an object through a camera to detect exact movement because of unnecessary noises and changes of the light. It can be recognized as a background, when there is no movement after the inflow of an object. Therefore, It is necessary to fast search algorithm for tracking and extract of object that is realtime image. In this thesis, we evaluate the difference of the input vision based on initial image and replace some pixels in process of time. When there is a big difference between background image and input image, we decide it is the point of the time of the object input and then extract boundary point of it. The extracted boundary point detects precise movement of the object by creating minimum block of it and searching block that maintaining distance. The designed and embodied system shows more than 95% accuracy in the performance test.

This paper presents a vector control implementation for SPMSM(Surface-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) using dSPACE 1104 system and MATLAB/SIMULINK. SPMSM can be treated as a DC motor provided that currents of flux and torque component are controlled independently using vector control. Therefore various control algorithms for conventional DC motor control can be adopted to SPMSM. The system is designed to improve set-point tracking capability, fast response, and accuracy In This paper, d-q equivalent modeling of PMSM is derived based on vector control theory. PI controller is used for speed control and decoupling PI controller is used for current control. For the implementation of high performance vector control system, dSPACE 1104 system is used. Experiments were carried out to examine validity of the proposed vector control implementation.

In the $21^{st}$ century of digital information society, design is changing from an analog era that focuses on logical and rational knowledge to a new paradigm of an era focused on sensible communications that can react fast. Design becomes to fulfill sensible needs; moreover, full efforts are being made in the academic research of sensibility evaluation for the conceptualization, quantization, and visualization of design sensibilities based on the measurement and evaluation of sensibility. This study provides insight into a sensibility evaluation method to understand the global user's sensibility in the fashion design field. As for research methods, first, measurement methods of physical, psychological, and physiological reactions to design sensibility were examined through written research on sensibility evaluation in both domestic and overseas research. Next, studies on sensibility during the past 15 years from 2000 to 2014 in the field of domestic fashion design were analyzed to grasp research trends in sensibility evaluation methods; subsequently, suitable sensibility evaluation methods for current fashion design were discussed. As a result of the study, it was shown that most sensibility evaluation studies in the field of domestic fashion design are based on surveys using sensibility terms. However, it requires the process of translating among different terms in different lingual cultures and within the limits of a uniformed evaluation. In this regard, recent cases of overseas design studies have been applying new methods to measure physiological reactions such as eye tracking methods combined with IT. The analysis of multilateral sensibility evaluation methods in this study have significant meaning for use as basic data to establish a planning for an evaluation scale to measure the sensibility of global consumers towards modern fashion design more quantitatively.

In diesel engines, accurate EGR control is important due to its effect on nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions. Conventional EGR control system comprises a PI feedback controller for tracking target air mass flow and a feedforward controller for fast response. Physically, the EGR flow is affected by EGR valve lift and thermodynamic properties of the EGR path, such as pressures and temperatures. However, the conventional feedforward control output is indirectly derived from engine operating conditions, such as engine rotational speed and fuel injection quantity. Accordingly, the conventional feedforward control action counteracts the feedback controller in certain operating conditions. In order to improve this disadvantage, in this study, we proposed feedforward EGR control algorithm based on a physical model of the EGR system. The proposed EGR control strategy was validated with a 3.0 liter common rail direct injection diesel engine equipped with a DC motor type EGR valve.

In wireless sensor networks, consensus algorithms for dynamic systems may flexibly usable for their data fusion of a sensor network. In this paper, a distributed data fusion filter is implemented using an average consensus based on distributed sensor data, which is composed of some sensor nodes and a sink node to track the mean values of n sensors' data. The consensus filter resolve the problem of data fusion by a distribution Kalman filtering scheme. We showed that the consensus filter has an optimal convergence to decrease of noise propagation and fast tracking ability for input signals. In order to verify for the results of consensus filtering, we showed the output signals of sensor nodes and their filtering results, and then showed the result of the combined signal and the consensus filtering using zeegbee communication.

In this paper, a novel method of minimizing the phase error is proposed. A DP-PLL system using this method is implemented and its performacnce is investigated, too. The DP-PLL system detects the phase error between reference clock and locally generated system clock. The phase difference is then reported as a PEV(Phase Error Variation), which is propoced from the delayted n-tap rising dege clock circuit with 5ns resolution in the phase detector. The algorithm is used to track the optimal DAC coefficients, which are adjusted from sample to sample in such a way as to minimize the PEV. The proposed method is found to have remarkable good potential for fast and accurate phase error tracking characteristic. The algorithm shows good performance to supress the low frequency jitter.-ending points, we design new basis functions based on the Legendre polynomial and then transform the error signals with them. When applied to synthetic images such as circles, ellipses and etc., the proposed method provides, in overall, outstanding results in respect to the transform coding gain compared with DCT and DST. And in the case when applied to natural images, the proposed method gives better image quality over DCT and comparable results with DST.

High-speed QPSK demodulator has been one important design objective of any wireless communication systems, especially those offering broadband multimedia service. This paper describes Zero-Crossing IF-level(ZCIF) QPSK demodulator for high-speed wireless communications, and its hardware structures are discussed. ZCIF QPSK demodulator is mainly composed of symbol time circuit and carrier recovery circuit to estimate timing and phase-offsets. There are various schemes. Among them, we use Gardner algorithm and Decision-Directed carrier recovery algorithm which is most efficient scheme to warrant the fast acquisition and tracking to fabricate FPGA chip. The testing results of the implemented onto CPLD-FLEX10K chip show demodulation speed is reached up to 2.6［Mbps］. Actually in case of designing by ASIC, its speed may be faster than CPLD by 5 times. Therefore, it is possible to fabricate the ZCIF QPSK demodulator with speed of 10 Mbps.
