Light-triggered thyristors (LTTs) are essential components in high-power applications, such as HVDC transmission and several pulsed-power applications. Generally, LTT fabrication includes a deep diffusion of aluminum as a p-type dopant to form a uniform p-base region, which needs careful concern for contamination and additional facilities in silicon semiconductor manufacturing factories. We fabricated 4-inch 5,000 V LTTs with boron implantation and diffusion process as a p-type dopant. The LTT contains a main cathode region, edge termination designed with a variation of lateral doping, breakover diode, integrated resistor, photosensitive area, and dV/dt protection region. The doping concentration of each region was adjusted with different doses of boron ion implantation. The fabricated LTTs showed good light triggering characteristics for a light pulse of 905 nm and a blocking voltage (V_DRM) of 6,500 V. They drove an average on-state current (I_TAVM) of 2,270 A, peak nonrepetitive surge current (I_TSM) of 61 kA, critical rate of rise of on-state current (di/dt) of 1,010 A/㎲, and limiting load integral (I²T) of 17 MA²s without damage to the device.

The accurate evaluation of wind characteristics and wind-induced structural responses during a typhoon is of significant importance for bridge design and safety assessment. This paper presents an expectation maximization (EM) algorithm-based angular-linear approach for probabilistic modeling of field-measured wind characteristics. The proposed method has been applied to model the wind speed and direction data during typhoons recorded by the structural health monitoring (SHM) system instrumented on the arch Jiubao Bridge located in Hangzhou, China. In the summer of 2015, three typhoons, i.e., Typhoon Chan-hom, Typhoon Soudelor and Typhoon Goni, made landfall in the east of China and then struck the Jiubao Bridge. By analyzing the wind monitoring data such as the wind speed and direction measured by three anemometers during typhoons, the wind characteristics during typhoons are derived, including the average wind speed and direction, turbulence intensity, gust factor, turbulence integral scale, and power spectral density (PSD). An EM algorithm-based angular-linear modeling approach is proposed for modeling the joint distribution of the wind speed and direction. For the marginal distribution of the wind speed, the finite mixture of two-parameter Weibull distribution is employed, and the finite mixture of von Mises distribution is used to represent the wind direction. The parameters of each distribution model are estimated by use of the EM algorithm, and the optimal model is determined by the values of $R^2$ statistic and the Akaike's information criterion (AIC). The results indicate that the stochastic properties of the wind field around the bridge site during typhoons are effectively characterized by the proposed EM algorithm-based angular-linear modeling approach. The formulated joint distribution of the wind speed and direction can serve as a solid foundation for the purpose of accurately evaluating the typhoon-induced fatigue damage of long-span bridges.

합산 영역 테이블은 모든 픽셀에 대해 임의의 크기 사각영역의 이미지 필터링 처리를 일정시간 안에 가능케 한다. 이러한 특성은 각각의 픽셀에 대해서 주변 픽셀의 밝기의 합 혹은 평균을 필요로 하는 이미지 처리 적용 분야에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. 합산 영역 테이블의 생성은 단지 행 혹은 열 단위의 합만을 구하는 메모리 바운드 작업임에도 불구하고 기존 연구들은 이미 존재하는 데이터 병렬성만을 활용하기 위하여 대기 시간이 긴 전역 메모리에 과도한 접근을 하여야만 했다. 본 논문에서는 입력 데이터를 정방의 서브 이미지로 분할하고 매개 데이터를 이들 간에 파급시킴으로써 GPGPU 환경 적합한 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 통하여 기존 방법 대비 전역 메모리 접근 량을 거의 반으로 줄임으로써 주어진 메모리 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용한다. 결과에서도 성능이 대폭 향상되었다.

A novel control method with automatic tuning of PID controller parameters has been developed for efficient regulation of dissolved oxygen concentration in fed-batch fermentations of Escherichia coli. Agitation speed and oxygen partial pressure in the inlet gas stream were chosen to be the manipulated variables. A heuristic reasoning allowed improved tuning decisions from the supervision of control performance indices and it coule obviate the needs for process assumptions or disturbance patterns. The control input consisted of feedback and feedforword parts. The feedback part was determined by PID control and the feedforward part is determined from the feed rate. The proportional gain was updated on-line by a set of heuristics rules based on the supervision of three performance indices. These indices were output error covariance, the average value of output error, and input covariance, which were calculated on-line using a moving window. The integral and derivative time constants were determined from the period of output response. The specific growth rate was maintained at a low level to avoid acetic acid accumulation and thus to achieve a high cell density. The specific growthe rate was estimated from the carbon dioxide evolution rate. In fed-batch fermentation, the simutaneous control of dissolved oxygen concentration (at 0.2; fraction of saturated value) and specific growth rate (at 0.25$hr^{-1}$) was satisfactory for the entire culture period in spite of the changes in the feed rate and the switching of control input.

This paper presents a feedforward control algorithm for the EGR and VGT systems of passenger car diesel engines. The air-to-fuel ratio and boost pressure are selected as control indicators and the positions of EGR valve and VGT vane are used as control inputs of the EGR and VGT controller. In order to compensate the non-linearity and coupled dynamics of the EGR and VGT systems, we have proposed a non-linear model-based feedforward control algorithm which is obtained from static model inversion approach. It is observed that the average modeling errors of the feedforward algorithm is about 2% using stationary engine experiment data of 225 operating conditions. Using a feedback controller including proportional-integral, the modeling error is compensated. Furthermore, it is validated that the proposed feedforward algorithm generates physically acceptable trajectories of the actuator and successfully tracks the desired values through engine experiments.

주기적으로 변하는 압력이 탈수상태의 HEMA 콘택트 렌즈에 작용하여 진동이 발생하는 경우, 렌즈상의 임의의 위치에서 파형과 평균진폭을 예측할 수 있는 미분방정식과 컴퓨터 프로그램을 유도하였다. 중심부분의 두께 0.08mm, 직경 14mm, 곡율반경 8mm 렌즈의 고유 공진진동수는 추가질량감소법에 의해 5730 Hz으로 측정되었다. 진동에 주로 관여하는 렌즈의 유효반경의 측정값과 고유 공진 진동수값으로부터 base curve를 가지고 있는 상태에서 렌즈의 탄성율(Young's modulus)을 구할 수 있었으며, 본 실험에 사용한 렌즈에서는 그 값이 $4{\times}10^9$ Pa으로 구해졌다. 파동방정식과 탄성이론에 기초를 두고 유도한 컴퓨터 모델을 작동하여 렌즈의 유효 반경, 렌즈두께, damping, 압력진폭, driving 압력의 진동수 등의 변수가 진동에 미치는 영향을 모사하였다. 렌즈의 유효반경이 클수록, 렌즈의 두께가 얇아 질수록 공진진동수는 낮아지며, 공진진동수 감소에 따라 평균진폭의 급격한 증가가 예측되었다. 외부 압력의 진동수가 렌즈의 고유진동수의 정배수에 접근하는 경우 diaphram의 진동 파형은 원호형에서 파도 또는 종(bell)형으로 전환되며 결과적으로 중심부근의 진폭이 갑자기 상승하게 될 것으로 예상된다.

This paper discusses the appropriate duration for basic gust wind speeds in wind loading codes and standards, and in wind engineering generally. Although various proposed definitions are discussed, the 'moving average' gust duration has been widely accepted internationally. The commonly-specified gust duration of 3-seconds, however, is shown to have a significant effect on the high-frequency end of the spectrum of turbulence, and may not be ideally suited for wind engineering purposes. The effective gust durations measured by commonly-used anemometer types are discussed; these are typically considerably shorter than the 'standard' duration of 3 seconds. Using stationary random process theory, the paper gives expected peak factors, $g_u$, as a function of the non-dimensional parameter ($T/{\tau}$), where T is the sample, or reference, time, and ${\tau}$ is the gust duration, and a non-dimensional mean wind speed, $\bar{U}.T/L_u$, where $\bar{U}$ is a mean wind speed, and $L_u$ is the integral length scale of turbulence. The commonly-used Durst relationship, relating gusts of various durations, is shown to correspond to a particular value of turbulence intensity $I_u$, of 16.5%, and is therefore applicable to particular terrain and height situations, and hence should not be applied universally. The effective frontal areas associated with peak gusts of various durations are discussed; this indicates that a gust of 3 seconds has an equivalent frontal area equal to that of a tall building. Finally a generalized gust response factor format, accounting for fluctuating and resonant along-wind loading of structures, applicable to any code is presented.

The quality of the effluent from an activated sludge aeration tank can deteriorate when the substrate removal rate decreases due to an abrupt reduction in the DO concentration, which is affected by such operating conditions as the loading rate, temperature, wastewater composition, and so on. In this research, a DO control system that includes a PI (proportional-integral) controller/Hiraoka controller was developed and applied to a pilot-scale activated sludge process, then its acceptability was estimated. The applicability of the respiration rate to DO control was also estimated. The respiration rate indicated a variety of input organic loading rates, which is the main disturbance to the DO concentration in an aeration tank. When the influent concentration incrementally decreased and increased between CODcr 1,000 mg/l and 100 mg/l, the control system with a PI controller exhibited a good llperformance-the average DO concentrations were 2.00$\pm$0.14 mg/l and 1.88$\pm$0.15 mg/l (set value was 2.0 mg/l), respectively, and the settling time was just 10 minites. When the control system was operated for 4 days, the DO concentration was 1.99$\pm$0.18 mg/l and 32.6% of the air flowrate was saved. However, the fluctuations in the respiration rates and air flowrates were severe, which could be harmful to the stability of the biomass and mechanical stability of the blower. A possible approach to solve this problem may be the simultaneous control of the loading rate and DO concentration.

페이딩 통신로에서의 통신용량은 가우스 잡음 통신로에서의 통신용량보다 줄어든다. 더욱이 정보전송을 위해 신호를 변조할 때에는 통신용량이 더욱 줄어질 것이 예상되거나 이에대한 통신용량값은 구하기가 매우 어렵다. 잡음 통신로에서의 다상 위상변조(M-ary PSK) 신호에 대한 통신용량을 구하는 식은 기존에 유도되어 있는데 복소적분석을 이용하는 관계로 매우 복잡하다. 그러므로 본논문에서는 다상 위상변조 신호의 평균심벌오율을 이용하여 간단하게 통신용량을 구하는 식을 유도하였다. 그리고 유도된 식을 이용하여 가우스 잡음 통신로 뿐만 아니라 Rician 페이딩 통신로와 m-분포 페이딩 통신로에 이TDj서의 다상 위상변조 신호의 통신용량을 각각 구하였다. 본논문에서 구한 가우스 잡음 통신로에서의 통신용량값은 기존 문헌에 구해져 있는 통신용량값과 거의 같다는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 M-ary PSK 신호의 통신용량은 신호 대 잡음 전력비(SNR)가 커짐에 따라 심벌당 비트 수(log M)에 수렴한다는 것도 알아냈다.
