A single component of $Sb_2O_3$ glass has been obtained by a rapid quenching method in vacuum. The linear refractive indices were measured as a function of wavelength from 500 nm to 1060 nm. The refractive index at $n_{3{\omega}}$/(633 nm) was as high as 2.00. The optical band gap was estimated as 3.38 eV from the optical absorption spectrum. The third-order nonlinear optical intensity was determined by the third harmonic generation (THG) method. The $\chi^{(3)}$value was as high as $5.68{\times}10^{-13}$esu, about 20 times larger than that of $SiO_2$ glass.

This paper presents the error correction method of magnetic position sensor using recursive least square method (RLSM) with forgetting factor. Magnetic position sensor is proposed for linear position detection of the linear motor which has tooth shape stator, consists of permanent magnet, iron core and linear hall sensor, and generates sine and cosine waveforms according to the movement of the mover of the linear motor. From the output of magnetic position sensor, the position of the linear motor can be detected using arc-tan function. But the variation of the air gap between magnetic position sensor and the stator and the error in manufacturing process can cause the variation in offset, phase and amplitude of the generated waveforms when the linear motor moves. These variations in sine and cosine waveforms are changed according to the current linear motor position, and it is very difficult to compensate the errors using constant value. In this paper, the generated sine and cosine waveforms from the magnetic position sensor are compensated on-line using the RLSM with forgetting factor. And the speed observer is introduced to reduce the effect of uncompensated harmonic component. The approaches are verified by some simulations and experiments.

In this paper a new method for the design of a simple PI controller is presented and it has been applied in the control of a Boost based PFC rectifier. The Strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm, which is based on the Pareto Optimality concept, used in Game theory literature is implemented as a multi-objective optimization approach to gain a good transient response and a high quality input current. In the proposed method, the input current harmonics and the dynamic response have been assumed as objective functions, while the PI controller's gains of the PFC rectifier (Kpi, Tpi) are design variables. The proposed algorithm generates a set of optimal gains called a Pareto Set corresponding to a Pareto Front, which is a set of optimal results for the objective functions. All of the Pareto Front points are optimum, but according to the design priority objective function, each one can be selected. Simulation and experimental results are presented to prove the superiority of the proposed design methodology over other methods.

In this paper, task control architecture is proposed for a mobile robot with behaviors based on cognition theory to endow the robot intelligence. In the task control architecture, task manager is introduced especially for the management of computational resource. The management is based on classical RMS (Rate Monotonic Strategy), but with online rate modulation strategy. The rate modulation is performed using the value variances of behavior execution for the task. Because the values are based on natively uncertain sensor information, they are modeled using PDF (probability Density Function). As a rate modulation process, the range of the rate modulation is defined firstly by real-time constraints of RMS and discrete control stability of behaviors. With the allowable range, rate modulations are performed considering harmonic bases to maintain utilization bound without decrease. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed rate modulation strategy, a simulation test is performed to compare the efficiency between the control architecture with the proposed strategy and previous one. A performance index with the formalization of propensity of resource allocation is proposed and utilized for the simulation test. To evaluate the appropriateness of the performance index, the performance index is compared with practical one through a practical simulation test.

This paper presents the aerodynamic coefficient modeling with a new model structure explored by Least Squares using Modulating Function Technique (LS/MFT) for an F-16XL airplane using wind tunnel data supplied by NASA/LRC. A new model structure for aerodynamic coefficient was proposed, one that considered all possible combination terms of angle of attack ${\alpha}$(t) and ${\alpha}$(t) given number of harmonics K, and was compared with Pearson's model, which has the same number of parameters as the new model. Our new model harmonic results show better agreement with the physical data than Pearson's model. The number of harmonics in the model was extended to 6 and its parameters were estimated by LS/MFT. The model output of lift coefficient with K=6 correspond reasonably well with the physical data. In particular, the estimation performances of four aerodynamic coefficients were greatly improved at high frequency by considering all harmonics included in the input${\alpha}$(t), and by using the new model. In addition, the importance of each parameter in the model was analyzed by parameter reduction errors. Moreover, the estimation of three parameters, i.e., amplitude, phase and frequency, for a pure sinusoid and a finite sum of sinusoids- using LS/MFT is investigated.

Islanding protection of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverter is a key function for standards compliance. Unintentional islanding results in safety hazards, reliability, and many other issues. Therefore, many anti-islanding schemes have been examined. However, existing anti-islanding schemes have poor power quality and non-detection zone issues. Moreover, most schemes have problems that deteriorate the performance of islanding detection under parallel operation. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel anti-islanding scheme that has negligible power quality degradation and has no non-detection zone and islanding detection under a parallel operation. Both simulation and experimental results validate the proposed scheme.

Approximate analysis for a building installed with a friction damper is performed to get insight of its dynamic behavior. Energy balance equation is used to have a closed analytical form solution of dynamic magnification factor(DMF). It is found out that DMF is dependent on friction force ratio and resonance frequency. Approximation of DMF and equivalent damping ratio of a friction damper is proposed with such assumption that the building with a friction damper shows harmonic steady-state response and narrow banded response behavior near resonance frequency. Linear transfer function from input external force to output building displacement is suggested from the simplified DMF equation. Root mean square of a building displacement is derived under earthquake-like random excitation. Finally, design procedure of a friction damper is proposed by finding friction force corresponding to target control ratio. Numerical analysis is carried out to verify the proposed design procedure.

In this Paper the electronic ballast using the SEPIC(Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter) converter for the multiple electrodeless fluorescent lamps is proposed, which has the structure of the active PFC and self oscillating function. The SEPIC converter system has the characteristics of the power factor with low input current harmonic distortion. The proposed control method is based on the aveage-current-mode using the dedicated integrated circuit UC3854. The proposed electronic ballast has the reduction effect for the energy and manufacturing cost because it is designed for tripple electrodeless fluorescent lamps. The experimental results shows that the power factor is higher and the THD is lower.

The MMIC cascode VCO is designed, fabricated, and measured for Ku-band Low Noise Blcok(LNB) system using InGaP/GaAs HBT technology. The phase noise of -116.4 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset with output power of 1.3 dBm is obtained at 11.526 GHz by applying 3 V and 11 mA, which is comparatively better characteristics than compared with the different configuration VCOs fabricated with other technologies. The simulated results of oscillation frequency and second harmonic suppression agree with the measured results. The phase noise is improved due to the use of the smallest value of inductor in frequency determining network and the InGaP ledge function of the technology. The chip size of $830\time781\;{\mu}m^2$ is also achieved.
