The current-fed DC-DC converter, which is known as the most stable DC-DC converter, has a two-winding reactor in series with the input. In this paper the new multi-output DC-DC converter circuit, in which the 2nd winding of the reactor is creating the 2nd output, while the 2nd winding is feeding the energy to input in the current-fed converter, is proposed. The steady state characteristics of the new circuit are clarified. And it is found that the maximum value exists in the 2nd output.

This study analyzed a life test method for a power take-off (PTO) gearbox. An engine transfers mechanical power (rotation and torque) to a hydraulic pump through a PTO Gearbox with one input shaft and three output shafts. PTO gear box durability under high loads over long time periods was tested using dynamometers. In order to reflect the rated operating conditions, power must be distributed to each output shaft, and experiments were conducted under various conditions to verify the characteristics of the distributed power. An accelerated life test was designed using speed and torque as acceleration factors. Also, efficiency tests were conducted under various load conditions. Also, a lubrication oil composition analysis was performed to analyze gearbox wear status.

In this study, we identify contribution of structure-borne-noise of vehicle HVAC system using Multi-Dimensional spectral analysis (MDSA) method. Firstly, to identify the applicability of MDSA method, the case of HVAC system was modeled with four input / single output system. The four inputs which is given vibration data is composed of blower, evaporator, heater and duct. The single output is noise data from driver's seat. When the blower motor is operating, we analyze the contributions of four input / single output. As a result of experiment, we identify efficiency of systems modeled with four input / single output through ordinary coherence function (OCF) and multiple coherence function (MCF).

This paper is concerned with the theoretical estimation of the single-input single-output(SISO) positive position feedback(PPF) controller and the derivation of the stability conditions for the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) PPF controller. Although the stability condition for the SISO PPF controller was derived in the earlier works, the question regarding the performance estimation of the SISO PPF controller has never been studied theoretically. Hence, the SISO PPF controller for the single degree-of-freedom system was first investigated and then control parameters including gain, the filter frequency, and the damping factor of the PPF controller were analyzed in detail thus providing the design methodology for the SISO PPF controller. In the case of real structure. there are infinite number of natural modes so that some modes are to be controlled by a limited number of actuator and sensor. Based on the theoretical results on the SISO PPF controller, the stability condition for the multi-input multi-output PPF controller was derived when only the few number of modes are to be controlled. The control spillover problem is also discussed in detail.

In this paper, we propose a new computationally efficient joint iterative multi-input multi-output (MIMO) detection scheme using a soft interference cancellation and minimum mean squared-error (SIC-MMSE) method. The critical computational burden of the SIC-MMSE scheme lies in the multiple inverse operations of the complex matrices. We find a new way which requires only a single matrix inversion by utilizing the Taylor series expansion of the matrix, and thus the computational complexity can be reduced. The computational complexity reduction increases as the number of antennas is increased. The simulation results show that our method produces almost the same performances as the conventional SIC-MMSE with reduced computational complexity.

The mathematical model of a air-conditioning system is generally very complex and difficult to apply to controller design. In this paper, simple models applicable to the controller design are obtained by modeling the air-conditioning system by single-input single-output between compressor speed and indoor temperature, and by multi-input single-output between compressor speed, indoor fan speed and indoor temperature. Using these empirical models, model predictive control(MPC) technique was implemented for indoor temperature control of the air-conditioning system. It has been shown from various experiments that the indoor temperature control based on the MPC scheme yields reasonably good tracking performance with smooth changes in plant inputs. this multi-input multi-output MPC approach can be extended to multi air- conditioning systems where the conventional PID control scheme is very difficult to apply.

Process monitoring of output variables affecting final performance have been mainly executed in semiconductor manufacturing process. However, even earlier detection of causes of output variation cannot completely prevent yield loss because a number of wafers after detecting them must be re-processed or cast away. Semiconductor manufacturers have put more attention toward monitoring process inputs to prevent yield loss by early detecting change-point of the process. In the paper, we propose the method to efficiently monitor functional input variables in multi-phase semiconductor manufacturing process. Measured input variables in the multi-phase process tend to be of functional structured form. After data pre-processing for these functional input data, change-point analysis is practiced to the pre-processed data set. If process variation occurs, key variables affecting process variation are selected using contribution plot for monitoring efficiency. To evaluate the propriety of proposed monitoring method, we used real data set in semiconductor manufacturing process. The experiment shows that the proposed method has better performance than previous output monitoring method in terms of fault detection and process monitoring.

This paper discusses a model reference adaptive control for a multi-input multi-output continuos system in matrix fraction description. The controller is of Monopoli-Narendra type with a time-varying gain matrix in the parameter adaptation law. The transfer matrix of the given plant with an adjustable controller is made to approach to that of the reference model asymptotically. It is shown that, under some plausible assumptions such as on the knowlidge of an interactor matrix, the algorithm for a single-input single-output system can be appropriately extended to a multi-input multi-output system. The convergence of an adaptation law is estavlished with some stability theory and stability of the overall system is asserted by an analytical investigation.

As a result of the recent advances in magnetic materials, the Magnetic Amplifier(Magamp) technique is one of the reliable and cost-effective postregulation method for multiple-output power supply. This is true for high-current postregulated output since at highter output current the efficiency of linear postregulation is unacceptably low, while the complexity of more efficient switch mode postregulator is associated with a significant cost. Magamp have some advantages of higher power density, simple control circuit, good regulation, high frequency and high performance. In this paper, Operation principle of proposed approach and a performance of magamp control circuit with TL431 is described. The comparative analysis of magamp circuit and buck regulator circuit with 20W load condition is conducted. Experimental verifications on multi-output flyback converter are conducted. Simulations and experimental results show that the proposed approach is efficiency and voltage regulation of the auxiliary output is excellent.

In this paper, a wide-input range CMOS multi-mode rectifier for wireless power transfer system is presented. The output voltage of multi-mode rectifier is sensed by comparator and switches are controlled based on it. The mode of multi-mode rectifier is automatically selected by the switches among full-wave rectifier, 1-stage voltage multiplier and 2-stage voltage multiplier. In full-wave rectifier mode, the rectified output DC voltage ranges from 9 V to 19 V for a input AC voltage from 10 V to 20 V. However, the input-range of the multi-mode rectifier is more improved than that of the conventional full-wave rectifier by 5V, so the rectified output DC voltage ranges from 7.5 V to 19 V for a input AC voltage from 5 V to 20 V. The power conversion efficiency of the multi-mode rectifier is 94 % in full-wave rectifier mode. The proposed multi-mode rectifier is fabricated in a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process with an active area of $2500{\mu}m{\times}1750{\mu}m$.
