Prediction of clock behaviors is necessary to generate very high stable system time which is essential for a satellite navigation system. For the purpose, we applied the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model to the prediction of two hydrogen masers' behaviors with respect to the rapid Coordinated Universal Time (UTCr). Using the packaged programming language R, we made an analysis and prediction of time series data of [UTCr - clocks]. The maximum variation width of the residuals which were obtained by the difference between the predicted and measured values, was 6.2 ns for 106 days. This variation width was just one-sixth of [UTCr-UTC (KRIS)] published by the BIPM for the same period. Since the two hydrogen masers were found to be strongly correlated, we applied the Vector Auto-Regressive Moving Average (VARMA) model for more accurate prediction. The result showed that the prediction accuarcy was improved by two times for one hydrogen maser.

Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is a very recent technique in the fabrication of the micro-electro-mechanical system ( MEMS ) devices. This paper presents the experimental results of the machining of micro-holes on pyrex glass substrates by use of ECDM. Electrolyte is used with a KOH aqueous solution, cathode with copper, anode with platinum, and tool feed system is applied with gravity feed system. Already established experimental results were taken under the condition of constant voltage frequency. However in this paper, the effect of variation of the voltage frequency and duty ratio is considered. In this experiment, it is measured the ECDM performances with variation of the voltage frequency and duty ratio under the conditions of constant other machining variables. ECDM performances are described by the hole depth, and the top hole diameter.

We have derived the equation which involves the variation of electron energy with time in a lowly ionized plasma when a low alternating electric field is applied. We consider only elastic collisions between electrons and neutral atoms. This equation is solved using the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method, and applied to argon gas discharge which is driven by source frequency of 100, 1K, 10K, 100K, and 1M (Hz). The results show that the variation of electron energy becomes flat with higher frequencies.

This paper analyzes complex vector current control for the enhanced cross-coupling compensation in accordance with parameter variation in grid-connected inverter system, and verifies through simulation and experiment. Complex vector current control is performed in the synchronous reference frame through d-q transformation. It generates cross-coupling components with rotating nominal angular frequency. In general, cross-coupling elements are compensated by decoupling terms added to output of conventional decoupling PI controller. But, it is impossible to compensate them perfectly which transient response is especially deteriorated such as large overshoot and slow tracking, when variation of grid impedance or measurement error occurs. However, complex vector current control can improve stability and response characteristic of current control regardless of the situation as before. Decoupling controller and complex vector controller are represented through complex forms, and these controllers are analyzed by using frequency response in s-domain, respectively. It is verified that complex vector controller has more superior response characteristic than decoupling controller through MATALB, PSIM and experimental in 5kW grid-connected inverter when L filter parameter is varied from 1.1mH to increase double, 2.2mH.

In designing a LLC resonant converter, the ratio of magnetizing inductance ($L_M$) to resonant inductance ($L_R$), the inductor ratio (K) is usually considered. In high power density adapter, both adapter size and efficiency are important factors. Considering the size of adapter, high K design can be more attractive. But, wide frequency variation of high K design results in design difficulty of magnetic elements and decrease in efficiency. To solve these drawbacks, an adaptive link voltage variation (ALVV) control is proposed. With the proposed control method, the LLC resonant converter can be operated at the resonant frequency despite the output voltage variation. The control strategy and schematics are presented, and verified experimentally.

The sound wave in the sea propagates under the effect of water depth, sound speed structure, sea surface roughness, bottom roughness, and acoustic properties of bottom sediment. In shallow water, the bottom sediments are distributed very variously with place and the sound speed structure varying with time and space. In order to investigate the seasonal propagation characteristics of low-frequency sound wave in the Yellow Sea, propagation experiments were conducted along a track in the middle part of the Yellow Sea in spring, summer, and autumn. In this paper we consider seasonal variations of the sound speed profile and propagation loss based on the measurement results. Also we quantitatively investigate variation of bottom loss by dividing the propagation loss into three components: spreading loss, absorption loss, and bottom loss. As a result, the propagation losses measured in summer were larger than the losses in spring and autumn, and the propagation losses measured in autumn were smaller than the losses in spring. The spreading loss and the absorption loss did not show seasonal variations, but the bottom loss showed seasonal variations. So it was thought that the seasonal variation of the propagation loss was due to the seasonal change of the bottom loss and the seasonal variation of the bottom loss was due to the change of the sound speed profile by season.

As part of thrust control technology research on turbopump-fed type liquid-propellant rocket engine system, the low frequency dynamic characteristics of turbopump was investigated. It can be described that a turbopump system has a 1st-order lag element. When the value, which was resulted by subtraction of the variation of turbine moment with respect to the variation of revolution number from the variation of pump moment with respect to the variation of revolution number, was positive, the time constant of the 1st-order lag element was positive which stood for a stable system. Increasing the above-mentioned valve within positive range leaded to the increase of response and to the decrease of controllability.

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) training of the knee extensors is a useful way to rehabilitate the ability to stand and walk. However, training using FES has not been able to solve the problem of fatigue; clinical application of FES quickly produces muscle fatigue, due to the continuous activation of the muscles of the lower extremity. Therefore, reduction of muscle fatigue is an important factor in increasing the effectiveness of FES training in paraplegia. Intermittent high frequency alternating stimulation is a method that combines the advantages of high frequency (leading to strong muscle contractions) and alternating stimulation (reducing muscle fatigue), thereby continuously strengthening muscles. It is not known whether low frequency simultaneous stimulation results in stronger muscle contraction than high frequency alternating stimulation. This study compared the effectiveness of high frequency alternating stimulation with low frequency synchronized stimulation. Muscle power using FES on the quadriceps of 20 normal subjects were compared. Intermittent high frequency alternating stimulation did not produce more powerful muscle contraction than intermittent low frequency synchronized stimulation, because the muscle characteristics differed individually. Significant individual variation according to muscle characteristics was founded when applying FES. Accordingly, when physical therapists use FES to treat patients, they must be aware of individual variation in muscle characteristics.

This paper proposes a method for frequency control of islanded microgrid with battery energy storage system. For frequency control of islanded microgrid, battery energy storage system uses a phase locked loop algorithm with positive sequence components for a fast frequency estimation. Microgrid is a power system with small inertia because it has small capacity generators and inverter systems for renewable energy. So, Islanded microgrid's frequency varies fast and large as small generation and load changes. To reduce frequency variation of islanded microgrid, it needs a device with fast frequency response. For fast frequency response, a fast frequency tracking is important. To show the validation of proposed fast frequency tracking algorithm, battery energy storage system with proposed algorithm is tested in microgrid pilot plant.
