A single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) DC-DC converter providing buck and boost outputs with a new switching sequence is presented. In the proposed switching sequence, which does not require any additional blocks, input energy is delivered to outputs continuously by flowing current through the inductor, which leads to high conversion efficiency regardless of the balance between the buck and boost output loads. Furthermore, instead of multiple output loop compensation, only the freewheeling current feedback loop is compensated, which minimizes the number of off-chip components and nullifies the need for the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output capacitor for loop compensation. Therefore, power conversion efficiency and output voltage ripples can be improved and minimized, respectively. Implemented in a 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS, the proposed SIMO DC-DC converter achieves high conversion efficiency regardless of the load balance between the two outputs with maximum efficiency reaching up to 82% under heavy loads.

PV Power Conditioning System (PCS) must have high conversion and low cost. Generally, PV PCS uses either a single converter or multilevel module integrated converter (MIC). Each of these approaches has both advantage and disadvantage. For a high conversion efficiency and low cost of PV module, this paper proposes series connection of module integrated DC-DC converter's output with PV panel. Output voltage of PV panel is connected to the output capacitor of flyback converter. Thus, converter's output voltage is added to the output voltage of PV panel. Isolated DC-DC converter generates only the difference voltage between the PV panel voltage and the required total output voltage. This method reduces power level of DC-DC converter and enhances the energy conversion efficiency compared with conventional DC-DC converter.

Multiple output converters (MOCs) are widely used for applications which require various levels of the output voltages due to their benefits in cost, volume, and efficiency. However, most of the MOCs developed so far can regulate only one output tightly and require as many secondary windings in the transformer as the number of the outputs. In this paper, a novel Time Division Multiple Control (TDMC) method to regulate all the outputs in high precision is proposed and applied for the multiple output battery charger based on the phase shift full bridge topology to charge a multiple number of batteries at one time. The proposed converter can charge three different kinds of batteries or same kind of batteries in different state of charges (SOCs) by using constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) charge mode independently. At the same time it can provide an even degree of tight regulation for each output to satisfy the strict ripple requirement of the battery. The validity and feasibility of the proposed method are verified through the experiments.

Photovoltaic(PV) system has been studied and watched with keen interest due to a clean and renewable power source. But, the output power of PV system is not only unstable but uncontrollable, because the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of PV system is still hard with the tracking failure under the sudden fluctuation of irradiance. Authors suggest that the optimal voltage for MPPT be obtained by only solar cell temperature. Having an eye on that the optimal voltage point of solar cell is in proportion to its panel temperature, with operating the power converter whose operating point keeps its input voltage to the optimal voltage imagined by the surface's temperature of PV panel, the maximum power point becomes tenderly possible to be tracked. In order to confirm the availability of the proposed control scheme. And both control methods are simulated not only on the various angle of sampling time of switching control, but also with the real field weather condition. As the results of that, the conversion efficiency between PV panel and converter of the proposed control scheme was much better than that of the power comparison MPPT control, and what is better, the output voltage of PV panel was extremely in stable when the optimal voltage for MPPT is obtained by only solar cell temperature.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the fluid intake and output (I&O) measurement methods in order to figure out more effective and easier method for medical patients Methods: 71 hospitalized patients participated in the study. In "liquid only (LO)" method, all amount of water was summed up including any liquid types of food and IV fluids. In "whole food(WF) intake," all liquid and solid food intake and IV fluids were added up. Results: The average amount of fluid intake was 2105.29 ml for LO method and 2523.54 ml for WF method. The average amount of fluid output was 2148.98 ml. The intra-class correlations (ICC) between the intake and output measures by the two different methods was 0.803 and 0.826, respectively. The correlation between the differences of intake/output and body weight change in two different methods was r=.347 (p=.003), and r=.376 (p=.001), respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that both LO and WF method may be useful in monitoring patients' fluid balance. Given the comparability of using LO over WF, it is suggested that measuring just liquid only intake as the indicator of patient's intake is applicable in clinical setting.

For the managements of the diagnostic X-ray equipments, the authors examined the output of single phase rectification assembly, Three phase rectification assembly and serial radiographic appartus, and got the following conclusions. 1. When the tube voltages in X-ray control panels ware compared to the measured values on the kVp pulse meter, only little differences were detected in all the X-ray equipments. And most of the equipments were all well managed within the internationally permitted limits, excepting the 12.02 % error at 120 kVp in three phase rectifying assembly. 2. As for the X-ray qualities affecting the X-ray images, the serial radiographic apparatus showed excellence, while the single phase rectification assembly were somewhat inferior to the others only maining the internationally recommended limits. 3. The tube voltage ranges where the X-ray output showed excellence were $100{\sim}200\;mA$ in serial radiographic apparatus, $200{\sim}350\;mA$ in three phase rectification assembly and $350{\sim}400\;mA$ in single phase rectification assembly respectively. 4. In the repeatability test of the X-ray equipments, CVs were in the range of $0.0029{\sim}0.049$, which is within the HEW or KS standards. Consequently all the equipments are thought to be well-manage. 5. This study on characteristics and output of the X-ray equipments was accomplished within a limited short time. Long-time researches on the function managements for the X-ray equipments should be followed along with the periodical checking the output for reduction of X-ray exposures to the patients or radio-technologists, and for maintanance and prediction of trouble of the equipments.

본 논문은 다중출력 스위칭-모드 전원 공급 장치에서 변압기 2차 측의 출력전압 안정을 위하여, 일반적으로 사용하는 선형 전압조절기의 피드백 보상기의 제어신호를 이용하여 부하 전류정보를 측정하고, 모든 부하가 경부하 상태일 경우에만 대기전력 모드로 동작하도록 하였다. 기존 방식은 주제어기 출력의 부하상태에만 의존하여, 나머지 2차측 출력의 부하상태와 상관없이 대기전력을 저감하기 위한 간헐 스위칭 모드 (burst mode) 제어로 들어가는 문제가 있다. 기존의 전류센서 혹은 저항을 이용하여 부하전류 정보를 얻는 방식이 아닌 선형전압 조절기를 이용하여 시스템을 저가격화 하였으며 모든 출력이 경부하일 경우에만 대기모드로 전환 하도록 하여 출력전압의 신뢰성을 향상시켰다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 제어기 회로의 동작원리를 설명하고 시뮬레이션으로 검증 하였으며 25W급 하드웨어를 구현하여 제안된 회로를 검증한다.

Van de Vusse reactor is known as a highly nonlinear chemical process and has been considered by a number of researchers as a benchmark problem for nonlinear chemical process. Various identification methods for nonlinear system are also verified by applying these methods to Van de Vusse reactor. From the point of view of identification, only the Volterra kernel of second order has been obtained until now. In this paper, the authors show that Volterra kernels of nonlinear Van de Vusse reactor of up to 3rd order are obtained by use of M-sequence correlation method. A pseudo-random M-sequence is applied to Van de Vusse reactor as an input and its output is measured. Taking the crosscorrelation function between the input and the output, we obtain up to 3rd order Volterra kernels, which is the highest order Volterra kernel obtained until now for Van de Vusse reactor. Computer simulations show that when Van de Vusse chemical process is identified by use of up to 3rd order Volterra kernels, a good agreement is observed between the calculated output and the actual output.

Herein, we consider uplink multiuser massive multiple-input multiple-output systems when multiple users transmit information symbols to a base station (BS) by applying simple space-time block coding (STBC). At the BS receiver, two detection filters for each user are used to detect the STBC information symbols. One of these filters is for odd-indexed symbols and the other for even-indexed symbols. Using constrained output variance metric minimization, we first derive a special relation between the closed-form optimal solutions for the two detection filters. Then, using the derived special relation, we propose a new blind adaptive algorithm for implementing the minimum output variance-based optimal filters. In the proposed adaptive algorithm, filter weight vectors are updated only in the region satisfying the special relation. Through a theoretical analysis of the convergence speed and a computer simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme exhibits faster convergence speed and lower steady-state bit error rate than the conventional scheme.
