Background: Subway stations have the characteristics of being located underground and are a representative public-use facility used by an unspecified number of people. As concerns about indoor air quality (IAQ) increase, various management measures are being implemented. However, there are few systematic studies and cases of long-term continuous measurement of underground station air quality. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze changes and factors influencing IAQ in subway stations through real-time continuous long-term measurement using IoT-based IAQ sensing equipment, and to evaluate the IAQ improvement effect of a bio-filter system. Methods: The IAQ of a subway station in Seoul was measured using IoT-based sensing equipment. A bio-filter system was installed after collecting the background concentrations for about five months. Based on the data collected over about 21 months, changes in indoor air quality and influencing factors were analyzed and the reduction effect of the bio-filter system was evaluated. Results: As a result of the analysis, PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and CO₂ increased during rush hour according to the change in the number of passengers, and PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations were high when a PM warning/watch was issued. There was an effect of improving IAQ with the installation of the bio-filter system. The reduction rate of a new-bio-filter system with improved efficiency was higher than that of the existing bio-filter system. Factors affecting PM_2.5 in the subway station were the outdoor PM_2.5, platform PM_2.5, and the number of passengers. Conclusions: The IAQ in a subway station is affected by passengers, ventilation through the air supply and exhaust, and the spread of particulate matter generated by train operation. Based on these results, it is expected that IAQ can be efficiently improved if a bio-filter system with improved efficiency is developed in consideration of the factors affecting IAQ and proper placement.

The SiO₂/TiO₂ multilayer thin films used for narrow band pass filter were fabricated using E-beam evaporation method. The narrow band pass filter was used to enhance the resolution of spectroscopy and sensor applications with near infrared (NIR) light source. The narrow band pass filter with multilayer thin films were designed with Essential Macleod program. The multilayers of SiO₂/TiO₂ with 32 layers were deposited on the silicon encapsulation of IR with peak wavelength (λ_p) of 660 nm and NIR LEDs with λ_p of 830 nm, 880 nm, and 955 nm. After NIR light passed through the narrow band pass filter, the full width of half maximum of 33.4~48.6 nm became narrow to 20~24 nm owing to the absorption of photons with short or long wavelength of designed band of 20 nm. The SiO₂/TiO₂ band pass filter fabricated in this study can be used for sensor, optoelectronics, and NIR spectroscopy applications.

This paper introduces the fundamentals of the conventional LC low-pass filter circuit in the fractional domain. First, we study the new fundamentals of fractional-order LC low-pass filter circuit including the pure real angular frequency, the pure imaginary angular frequency and the short circuit angular frequency. Moreover, sensitivity analysis of the impedance characteristics and phase characteristics of the LC low-pass filter circuit with respect to the system variables is studied in detail, which shows the greater flexibility of the fractional-order filter circuit in designs. Furthermore, from the filtering property perspective, we systematically investigate the effects of the system variables (LC, frequency f and fractional orders) on the amplitude-frequency characteristics and phase-frequency characteristics. In addition, the detailed analyses of the cut-off frequency and filter factor are presented. Numerical experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical results introduced in this paper.

This paper presents a procedure for the time-scale separation and a design method for the sub-optimal composite regulator and Kalman filter of the large-scale discrete stochastic system with two time-scale properties. Provided that the fast sub-system is asymptotically stable, the reduced-order regulator and Kalman filter for the slow sub-system with dominant modes is designed as a sub-optimal regulator for the system.

This paper deals with a robust mixed ${H_2}/{H_{\infty}}$ filter design problem for a nonlinear dynamic system modeled as a T-S fuzzy system. Integral quadratic constraints are used to describe various kinds of uncertainties of the plant. A sufficient condition for solvability is given in terms of linear matrix inequality problem which can be efficiently solved using a convex optimization technique. In order to demonstrate the Proposed method, a numerical design example is provided.

In this paper, the parallel sub-filter searching structure to be adapted that divides a filter into several sub filters and the parameter decision technique to control adaptive parameters with power of received signal in the code acquisition system using adaptive filter are proposed. The numerical results for the system probabilities are derived that the code acquisition system using parallel sub-filter searching structure is statistically analyzed. Also, characteristic of the parameters in adaptive code acquisition system is analyzed by simulations and the parameter decision technique through SNRc estimation is explained. The system with parallel sub-filter searching structure outperforms by 1∼l.5 dB for 16 taps, 5∼6 dB for 64 taps. And the system with parameter decision technique works efficiently with the reasonable degree of degradation about 1 ∼2.5dB for 16 and 32 taps.

This paper deals with a nonlinear fuzzy $H_{\infty}$ filter design for SOC(state of charge) estimation in Lithium polymer battery. The dynamic equation of the battery cell is modeled as a T-S fuzzy system and the filter is designed via solutions of linear matrix inequalities. In order to illustrate the performance of the designed filter, a computer simulation is performed using the experimental data with the UDDS(urban dynamometer driving schedule) current profile.

In this paper, 3rd overtone mode energy-trapped filter using modified PbTiO$_3$ system ceramics was manufactured to apply for intermediate frequency(IF) SMD type fillet with splitted electrode and gap size. To investigate the effects of splitted electrode and gap size on filter characteristics of 3rd overtone mode energy-trapped filter, ceramic wafers were fabricated by etching splitted rectangular electrode size(b$\times$d) of b=0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1mm, d=0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6mm and gap size(c) c=0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6mm, respectively. And then, SMD type ceramic filter were fabricated with the size of 3.7$\times$3.1$\textrm{mm}^2$. SMD type ceramic filter with the size of b=0.8mm, d=0.4mm and gap(c)=0.4mm, which showed insertion loss of 2.951dB, 3dB bandwidth of 54.7kHz and 20dB stop bandwidth of 129.27kHz, was suitable for IF bandpass filter application.

Fine particles (d$_{p}$ < 2.5 $\mu$m) were measured using an annular denuder system (ADS) in Chongju. The data set was collected on fifty-eight different days with a 24-hr sampling period from October 27, 1995 through August 25, 1996. Particulate nitrate in the ADS was also measured on teflon and nylon filters in series behind denuders to collect HNO$_3$, HNO$_2$, SO$_2$and NH$_3$. From this study. the mean concentration of particulate nitrate of PM$_{2.5}$ in the ADS were seen with the following order: winter (5.05) ＞fall (4.36) ＞spring (3.92) > summer (1.10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥). Nitrate losses, which calculated from the ratio of nylon filter nitrate to the sum of teflon and nylon filter nitrates, varied in the following manner summer (72.2%) > spring (42.6%) > fall (23.5%)> winter (0.4%). Especially, gaseous nitric acid was dominant at temperature higher than 8$^{\circ}C$ while particulate nitrate was major species in total nitrate below that temperature. This indicates the particulate nitrate loss is strongly correlated rather with ambient temperature.e.e.

The nonlinear observers are proposed for a nonlinear system. To improve the characteristics such as a stability, a convergence, and an H$\sub$$\infty$/ filter performance criterion, we utilize and H$\sub$$\infty$/ filter Riccati equation or a modified H$\sub$$\infty$/ filter Riccati equation with a freedom parameter. Using the Lyapunov, the characteristics of the observer are analyzed. Then the in-flight alignment for a strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS) is designed using the observer proposed. Simulation results show that the observer with the modified H$\sub$$\infty$/ fitter Riccati equation effectively improve the performance of the in-flight alignment.
