This paper presents a localization system based on the use of electric compass and tracking IR light source. Digital RGB(Red, Green, Blue)signal of digital CMOS Camera is sent to CPLD which converts the color image to binary image at 30 frames per second. CMOS camera has IR filter and UV filter in front of CMOS cell. The filters cut off above 720nm light source. Binary output data of CPLD is sent to DSP that rapidly tracks the IR light source by moving Camera tilt DC motor. At a robot toward north, electric compass signals and IR light source angles which are used for calculating the data of the location system. Because geomagnetic field is linear in local position, this location system is possible. Finally, it is shown that position error is within ${\pm}1.3cm$ in this system.

The performance of an OLED(organic luminescent emitting device) fabrication system strongly depends on the design of the evaporation cell-source. Trends in display sizes have hauled the enlargement of mother glass substrates. The enlargement of substrates requires the improvement and the enlargement of the effusion cell-source for OLED evaporation process. The deposited layers should be as uniform as possible, and therefore it is important to know the effusion profile of the molecules emitted from the cell-source. Conventional 2D DSMC algorithm cannot be used for simulating the new concept cell-source design, such as a linear source. This work concerns the development of 3D DSMC (direct simulation Monte Carlo) analysis for simulating the behavior of the evaporation cell-sources. In this paper, the 3D DSMC algorithm was developed and the film thickness profiles were obtained by the numerical analysis.

Measurement techniques for the in-duct source characteristics of fluid machines can be classified into direct method and load method, according to whether the technique employs an external acoustic source or not. It has been known that the two methods yield different results and the load method used to come up with a negative source resistance, in spite of the fact that a very accurate prediction of radiated noise can be obtained by using any result. This paper is focused to the effect of time-varying nature of fluid machines on the output result. For this purpose, a simplified fluid machine consisting of a reservoir, a valve and a pipe is considered as representing a typical linear, periodic, time-varying system and the measurement techniques are simulated by utilizing the Hill equation and its steady-state forced response. In the load method, the source impedance turns out being dependent on the valve impedance at the calculation frequency and the valve and load impedances at other frequencies as well.

This paper represents the numerical analysis on effect of the environmental velocity for circular heating source with heat generation. In general heating system, the oil and sheath heater is widely used, but these systems have many problems. So, the heating source with carbon ingredient has been researched in many country about manufacture, thermal and electrical properties. In this research, a circular heating source was studied through numerical analysis on several conditions of unsteady state, beat generation and environmental velocity. The temperature distributions at steady state is appeared as a non-linear pattern with variations of environmental velocity. So, the correlation equation between temperature at steady state and environmental velocity was obtained.

In this study, the heat source distributions at the end side and the center of the electrode are analyzed to estimate the electrical stress due to the harmonics from the nonlinear loads. The governing equation at the analysis area of low voltage condenser are numerically solved using the finite element software package to analyze the effects of heat source distribution due to the 5th and 7th harmonics, which can exist normally in the distribution network and can be applied to the low voltage condenser. Finally, the heat source distribution from the harmonics is compared and analyzed with the heat source distribution from the fundamental component of the applied voltage.

Source separation is a statistical method, the goal of which is to separate the linear instantaneous mixtures of statistically independent sources without resorting to any prior knowledge. This paper addresses a source separation algorithm which is able to separate the mixtures of sub- and super-Gaussian sources. The nonlinear function in the proposed algorithm is derived from the generalized Gaussian distribution that is a set of distributions parameterized by a real positive number (Gaussian exponent). Based on the relationship between the kurtosis and the Gaussian exponent, we present a simple and efficient way of selecting proper nonlinear functions for source separation. Useful behavior of the proposed method is demonstrated by computer simulations.

The paper presents controller optimization algorithm for a 12-pulse voltage source converter (VSC) based high voltage direct current (HVDC) system. To get an optimum algorithm, three methods namely conventional-Zeigler-Nichols, linear-golden section search (GSS) and stochastic-particle swarm optimization (PSO) are applied to control of 12 pulse VSC based HVDC system and simulation results are presented to show the best among the three. The performance results are obtained under various dynamic conditions such as load perturbation, non-linear load condition, and voltage sag, tapped load fault at points-of-common coupling (PCC) and single-line-to ground (SLG) fault at input AC mains. The conventional GSS and PSO algorithm are modified to enhance their performances under dynamic conditions. The results of this study show that modified particle swarm optimization provides the best results in terms of quick response to the dynamic conditions as compared to other optimization methods.

In this paper, the operation regions of a three-phase voltage-source PWM converter are defined: linear modulation region, allowed current region, linear control region, unity power-factor region, and power-factor decreasing region. Particularly, the power-factor decreasing region is first examined and defined as the region where both the sinusoidal input current control and the stable DC link voltage regulation can not be obtained with a unity power-factor operation. To avoid these undesirable effects, the optimal current vector is derived, which ensures the sinusoidal input current and the stable DC link voltage regulation with maximum power-factor available, and, in consequence, it extends the operation region of the PWM converter. The validity of the proposed control scheme is proved by the computer simulation.

The mathematical model of a three-phase voltage source pulse-width modulation (PWM) DC/AC inverter is non-linear, and in view of the traditional linear control strategy it can not meet the requirements of designing a high-performance inverter. What's more, when the loads are not pure resistive loads, the inverter further requires that the controller possess high-performance. This paper proposes a nonlinear control strategy for the inverter called Passivity-based Control. We can alter the inverter model in three-phase abc coordinate to two-phase synchronous rotating dq coordinate for establishing the port-control Hamiltonian (PCH) model for this system. We can control the distribution of energy in the system to achieve the control aim. Simulation results show that the passivity-based control method can make this system possess a level of high-performance that is both robust and dynamic.

There are a number of practical uses for devices which are capable of piping large amounts of light: illumination of areas where there would be maintenance, safety, or security problems with electronic light sources; piping sunlight into indoor areas for illumination; and the conversion of high luminous efficacy, good color quality, high intensity discharge lamps into more acceptable linear of area sources of light. Prism light guides are hollow structures which pipe light by means of total internal reflectin(TIR). These devices are unique in their ability to combine the efficiency of TIR with the relatively low cost of hollow structure. An important application stems from their ability to transform a point source of light such as an incandescent or discharge lamp into a linear or area source of light or illumination. We report the development of an economical, flexible prismatic film for fabricating the light guide wall. This guide geometries and films are currently under development.
