This paper presents two novel compensation circuits for leakage current and power supply noise (PSN) in phase locked loop (PLL) using a nanometer CMOS technology. The leakage compensation circuit reduces the leakage current of the charge pump circuit which becomes more serious problem due to the thin gate oxide and small threshold voltage in nanometer CMOS technology and the PSN compensation circuit decreases the effect of power supply variation on the output frequency of VCO. The PLL design is based on a 32nm predictive CMOS technology and uses a 0.9V power supply voltage. The simulation results show that the proposed PLL achieves a 88% jitter reduction at 440MHz output frequency compared to the PLL without leakage compensator and its output frequency drift is little to 20% power supply voltage variations. The PLL has an output frequency range of $40M{\sim}725MHz$ with a multiplication range of 11023, and the RMS and peak-to-peak jitter are 5ps and 42.7ps, respectively.

본 논문에서는 12펄스 위상제어 정류기 및 수동 필터와 능동필터로 구성된 KCCH 싸이클로트론 전자석용 고정밀, 고안정 전류 전원장치를 위한 각 구성 부분의 제어 및 설계 특징은 다음과 같다. 12펄스 싸이리스터 컨버터의 출력전압 제어를 위하여 아날로그 phase-locked oscillator 점호방식과 함께 부하에 비해 빠른 동특성을 가지는 내부 전압제어 루프를 구성하여, 입력전원과 변압기의 불평형에 의해 발생하는 저차고조파를 줄어들게 하였다. LC 수동필터와 MOSFET으로 구성된 능동필터를 직렬로 연결하여 출력전압 리플을 허용치 이하로 낮추었다. 12펄스 컨버터 출력전압 리플의 최대 peak-to-peak값이 0.1% 이하가 되도록 수동필터 값을 설계하였으며 설계과정을 제시하였다. 16bit D/A와 A/D에 의해 디지털로 제어되는 pass bank MOSFET 레귤레이터는 출력리플의 slow drift 제어와 설정치 값의 정확한 제어를 가능하게 한다. 또한 MOSFET는 전압 구동형 소자이며 turn-on 전류 도통 시에 양의 저항계수를 갖기 때문에, 첫째 전류 구동소자에 비해 간단한 구동회로를 가지며, 둘째 소자의 병렬 연결이 용이하다는 이점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 전류 전원장치 각 부분의 설계에 대하여 상세한 설계결과를 제시하며, 실험결과를 통하여 제안된 설계방식의 우수한 정적 및 동적 특성을 입증한다.

Two sinusoidal voltage-controlled oscillators using linear operational transconductance amplifiers are presented in this paper: One is based on the positive-feedback bandpass oscillator model and the other on the negative-feedback Colpitts model. The bandpass VCO consists of a noninverting amplifier and a current-controlled LC-tuned circuit which is realized by two linear OTA's and two grounded capacitors, while the Colpitts VCO consists of an inverting amplifier and a current-controlled LC-tuned circuit realized by three linear OTA's and three grounded capacitors. Prototype circuits have been built with discrete components. The experimental results have shown that the Colpitts VCO has a linearity error of less than 5 percent, a temperature coefficient of less than rm 100 ppm/$^{circ}C$, and a $pm1.5 Hz $frequency drift over an oscillation frequency range from 712Hz to 6.3kHz. A total harmonic distortion of 0.3 percent has been measured for a 3.3kHz oscillation and the corresponding peak-to-peak amplitude was 1V. The experimental results for bandpass VCO are also presented.

The primary wave energy conversion by a three-dimensional bottom-mounted oscillating water column (OWC) wave power device in regular waves has been studied. The linear potential boundary value problem has been solved following the boundary matching method. The optimum shape parameters such as the chamber length and the depth of the front skirt of the OWC chamber obtained through two-dimensional numerical tests in the frequency domain have been applied in the design of the present OWC chamber. Time-mean wave power converted by the OWC device and the time-mean second-order wave forces on the OWC chamber structure have been presented for different wave incidence angles in the frequency-domain. It has been shown that the peak period of $P_m$ for the optimum damping parameter coincides with the peak period of the time.mean wave drift force when ${\gamma}=0$.

Post-tensioned precast segmental bridge columns have shown high level of strength and ductility, and low residual displacement, which makes them suffer minor damage after earthquake loading; however, there is still lack of confidence on their lateral response against severe seismic loading due in part to their low energy dissipation capacity. This study investigates the influence of major design factors such as post-tensioning force level, strands position, columns aspect ratio, steel jacket and mild steel ratio on seismic performance of self-centring segmental bridge columns in terms of lateral strength, residual displacement and lateral peak displacement. Seismic analyses show that increasing the continuous mild steel ratio improves the lateral peak displacement of the self-centring columns at different levels of post-tensioning (PT) forces. Such an increase in steel ratio reduces the residual drift in segmental columns with higher aspect ratio more considerably. Suggestions are proposed for the design of self-centring segmental columns with various aspect ratios at different target drifts.

This paper presents an experimental study on a 1/2 scale steel frame with archaized-style under the pseudo-dynamic loading. Four seismic waves, including El Centro wave, Taft wave, Lanzhou wave and Wenchuan wave, were input during the test. The hysteresis characteristic, energy dissipation acceleration response, displacement response, strength, stiffness and strain were analyzed. Based on the experiment, the elastoplastic dynamic time-history analysis was carried out with the software ABAQUS. The stress distribution and failure mode were obtained. The results indicate that the steel frame with archaized-style was in elastic stage when the peak acceleration of input wave was no more than 400 gal. Under Wenchuan wave with peak acceleration of 620 gal, the steel frame enters into the elastoplastic stage, the maximum inter-story drift was 1/203 and the bearing capacity still tended to increase. During the loading process, Dou-Gong yielded first and played the role of the first seismic fortification line, and then beam ends and column bottom ends yielded in turn. The steel frame with archaized-style has good seismic performance and meets the seismic design requirement of Chinese code.

The right and left atrial pressures are important parameters in automatic control of a total artificial heart (TAH) within normal physiological ranges. Our TAH is composed of a moving actuator, right and left ventricles and the interventricular space enclosed by a semi-rigid housing. During operation of the TAH, the jnterventpicular space's volume is changed dynamically by the difference between the ejection volume of one ventricle and the inflow volume of the other. Therefore, the changes in pressure of the interventricular space is related to both atrial pressures. We measured the interventricular pressure (IVP) waveform using a pressure sensor and attempted to indirectly estimate the changes of atrial pressures. This method has an advantage that the sensor does not contact the blood directly. Furthermore, the IVP waveforms have its zero baseline in each pump cycle, thus the pressure measurements are free from the transducer drift problems by measuring the peak pressure from these baseline values. From the In vitro experiments, we found that the IVP waveform contained several useful parameters such as negative peak, dP/dT on the initial break, the area enclosed by the profile in each stroke, which are associated with atrial pressures and the filling conditions of the ventricles. The measured atrial pressures were linearly related to the negative peak of the interventricular pressure.

The objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of 1/12 scale upper-wall lower-frame reinforced concrete structure subjected to earthquake excitations. For this purpose, Taft N21E earthquake accelerogram was simulated by using 4m$\times$4m shaking table. When the input acceleration is compared to that of output, it was found that simulation of shaking table is satisfactory. From the test results with peak ground acceleration(PGA) 0.22g, which corresponds to 0.11g in prototype by the similitude law, it can be observed that the model responded in elastic behavior and that large interstory drift occurred at the lower part of the structure.

The primary objective of this study is to summarize results from previous experimental tests on laboratory specimens of RC/steel frames with masonry infills, in order to develop fragility functions that permit the estimation of damage in typical non-structural components of RC frame buildings, as a function of attained peak interstory drift. The secondary objective is to derive loss functions for such non-structural components, which provide information on the probability of experiencing a certain level of monetary loss when a given damage state is attained. Fragility curves and loss function developed in this study can be directly used within the FEMA P-58 framework for the seismic performance assessment of RC frame buildings with masonry infills.

자성체 코어의 비선형 특성을 이용하여 DC와 AC 전류를 측정하는 Zero-Flux Current Transformer는 정밀 전류 측정용으로 많이 연구되고 있다. Zero-Flux Current Transformer는 DC 대전류 측정에 합당하며 저 전류 측정에 사용될 경우 소모전류, 안정되고 첨예한 필터 제작, magnetic modulator에 의한 zero point drift, 자화 전류가 비대칭일 때 출력 등과 같은 문제가 해결되어야 한다. 그리고 상용으로 사용하기 위하여 Hand-Held Type으로 제작되어야하며 동작시의 소모전류가 작고 정확도가 우수하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 자화 전류가 비대칭일 때 출력을 zero로 만들기 위하여 사용하는 필터와 복잡한 회로로 구성된 magnetic modulator 부분을 여러개의 peak detector를 사용하여 AC와 DC를 측정하는 클램프미터를 개발하였으며 그 특성에 대한 내용을 기술하였다.
