In order to meet the requirement for higher thickness accuracy in tandem cold rolling processes, it is strongly necessary to have good performance in control units. To meet this requirement, this paper suggested an output regulating control system with a roll-eccentricity estimator for each rolling stand of tandem cold mills. Considering entry thickness variation and roll eccentricity simultaneously as the major disturbances, a synthesis of multivariable control systems was presented based on H$\infty$ control theory, which could reflect the knowledge of input direction and spectrum of disturbance signals on design. Then, to effectively reject roll eccentricity, a weight function having some poles on the imaginary axis was introduced. This lead to a non-standard H$\infty$ control problem, and the design procedures for solving this problem were analytically presented. The effectiveness of the proposed control method was evaluated through computer simulations and compared to that of the conventional linear quardratic control and feedforward control methods for roll eccentricity.

The use of digital systems in radiation science has been increased last years in the different knowledge areas, as a detectors, spectrometry, spectroscopy, simulation, etc. This manuscript presents the design and implementation of a low-cost, fully portable multi-channel analyzer for nuclear spectrometry (in situ). The development is based on a 32-bit microcontroller with ARM Cortex-M7, this design is able to digitize and analyze pulses from a radiation detector without the need to transform the input signal with some filter, obtains the maximum height of each of the digitized pulses, segmenting the information into channels to form a histogram and visualizing the LCD screen incorporated in the system. A continuous digitization methodology was used, which is in charge of the DMA and an ADC with a resolution of 12 bits at a speed of 3.6 MSPS. The system has a compact design and can open and save spectra in an SD memory built into the system. The MCA in MCU was tested with a NaI(Tl) Scintillation radiation detector, which allowed us to determine that the spectra obtained are similar compared to commercial MCA's. The results obtained show that the MCA in MCU is efficient for nuclear spectrometry, in addition to being very economical and low power consumption.

We designed and fabricated dichroic filters for high-power fiber lasers to protect the pumping laser diode from counterpropagating laser beams. The transmittance at laser diode wavelengths of 905 nm~925 nm was designed to be less than 0.1% and the transmittance at the fiber laser or Brillouin scattering wavelengths of 1020 nm ~ 1100 nm was designed to be more than 99.9%. Since oxide materials have good adhesion to the $SiO_2$ substrate, $SiO_2/Ta_2O_5$ were used as coating materials. The filter was fabricated according to our optimized design and its characteristics were compared with the theoretical design. As a result, the transmittance at laser diode wavelengths of 905 nm~925 nm was measured to be less than 0.1%, and the transmittance at the fiber laser or Brillouin scattering wavelengths of 1020 nm~1100 nm was measured to be more than 95.5%, which coincided well with the theoretical design considering processing errors. The filter was found to operate well over 1W of input laser power.

This paper presents a high-efficiency current mode class-D(CMCD) power amplifier for the 13.56 MHz band using a Guanella's 1:1 transmission-line transformer and filtering circuits at the output network. The second and third s are filtered out in the load network of the class-D amplifier. The implemented CMCD power amplifier exhibited a power gain of 13.4 dB and a high power-added efficiency(PAE) of 84.6 % at an output power of 44.4 dBm using the 13.56 MHz CW input signal. The second and third distortion levels were -50.3 dBc and -46.4 dBc at the same output power level, respectively.

This paper presents a 6~18 GHz 8-bit true time delay (TTD) circuit. The unit delay circuit is based on m-derived filter with relatively constant group delay. The designed 8-bit TTD is implemented with two single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches and seven double- pole double-throw (DPDT) switches. The reflection characteristics are improved by using inductors. The designed 8-bit TTD was fabricated using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. The measured delay control range was 250 ps with 1 ps of delay resolution. The measured RMS group delay error was less than 11 ps at 6~18 GHz. The measured input/output return losses are better than 10 dB. The chip consumes zero power at 1.8 V supply. The chip size is $2.36{\times}1.04mm^2$.

In this paper, we present a design method of a digital filter converting humming voice melody into MIDI data and a method of adapting it to a distributed multimedia I/O server. MuX uses device-independent DLMs(Dynamic Linking Module) for the inteliace with various I/O devices, and has wave-form audio DLM and MIDI DLM for audio interfaces. In order to expand the audio device interfacing ability of MuX system, we have designed and implemented a filter transforming human voice into MIDI messages. As the methods to input MIDI data are expanded to human voice in addition to MIDI files and MIDI instrument, someone who is not good at playing instruments can also generate the MIDI data, which enables our media interfaces to be used in various applications.

In this paper, an analysis and hysteretic controller design of a $3^{rd}$ order buck converter is presented. The proposed hysteretic controller consists of an inner current-loop, just like the conventional cascade control scheme, and an outer voltage-loop for load voltage regulation. Although it is possible to include an inner current loop from different branches of the converter, from the feasibility and operational point of view, the load side capacitor current would be the better choice. The addition of an inner current-loop improves the dynamic performance of the converter while preserving the robustness of the hysteretic control. The controller formulation and closed-loop converter performance analysis are validated through computer simulations. Few experimental results of the proposed converter are given and compared with the buck converter.

본 논문에서는 매트릭스 컨버터의 입력 필터를 설계하고 실험을 수행한 후 입력 파형 비교를 통하여 타당성을 검증하고 분석한다. 매트릭스 컨버터는 18개의 양방향 스위치로 구성되어 있으며, 출력 전압을 합성하기 위해 각각의 스위치가 실시간으로 빠르게 온-오프 한다. 이러한 스위칭 과정에서 고차 고조파가 발생하고, 이 고조파는 매트릭스 컨버터 주위에 연결된 각종 기기에 영향을 미친다. 이러한 영향을 줄이기 위해 설치한 것이 입력필터이다. 본 논문에서는 적절한 입력필터의 소자값을 계산해 내는 과정을 설명하고 이를 구현한 후, 실험을 통해 필터의 설치 전후의 입력 전류 고조파 왜곡율(THD) 등 파형의 변화를 비교하여 설계 값의 타당성과 필터의 적정성을 알아본다.

This paper presents a simple high efficiency full-bridge DC-DC converter using a series resonant capacitor. The proposed converter achieves the zero voltage switching of the primary switches under a wide range of load conditions and reduces the high circulating current in the freewheeling mode using the leakage resonant inductance and the series resonant capacitor. Thus, the proposed converter overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional full-bridge DC-DC converter and improves its overall system efficiency. Its structure is simplified by using the leakage inductance of the transformer as the resonant inductance and omitting the DC output filter inductance. Also it can operate over a wide range of input voltages. In this paper, the operational principle, analysis and design example are described in detail. Finally, the experimental results from a 650W (24V/27A) prototype are demonstrated to confirm the operation, validity and features of the proposed converter.
