본 논문에서는 초기화 구간에서의 시간단축과 높은 암실 명암비를 얻을 수 있는 새로운 초기화 파형을 제시한다. 새로운 초기화 파형에서 첫 번째 subfield는 기존의 conventional 구동파형과 마찬가지로 초기화 구간에서 ramp-up구간과 ramp-down구간이 필요하지만, 두 번째 subfield부터는 단지 ramp-up구간만이 적용된다. 한 frame에 8개의 subfield를 적용할 경우, 기존의 구동파형의 배경광이 $0.40cd/m^2$로 측정되는 반면, 새로운 초기화파형을 패널에 적용할 경우 배경광이 측정되지 않는다. 이러하여 우리는 새로운 초기화파형에서 무한대의 암실 명암비를 얻을 수 있다. 또한 새로운 초기화파형에서는 ramp-down구간을 없앰으로써 첫 번째 subfield를 제외하고는 초기화 시간을 165us로 시간을 줄일 수 있다.

Accurate prediction of supersonic transition is required for the heat transfer estimation over supersonic double compression ramp flows. Correlation-based transition models were assessed for a supersonic double ramp problem. Numerical results were compared with experimental data from RWTH Aachen University. A parametric study on the nose bluntness was performed using a selected transition model. As the nose bluntness increases, the boundary layer thickness is increased and the triple point of shock interactions moves downstream. The peak magnitude of the heat transfer is consequently decreased with the nose bluntness.

Rollover accidents are a common occurrence on the highway ramp section. At highway ramp section, unexpected situations might occur due to demand on complex steering control unlike routine driving maneuver in the main streamline. Commercial vehicles have higher risk of rollover due to their high center of gravity. In this study, the lateral acceleration causing rollover would be found. In addition, sections would be classified as dangerous and safe ones by confirming the maximum lateral acceleration for various speed and curvature.

High frequency excitation terms in a cam profile can excite vibration of a cam follower system. In this paper, modified smoothing spline curves are used to reduce the high frequency terms. The essential difference between the proposed method and other existing approaches is its ability to make the principal cam motions smooth while still exactly satisfying boundary conditions of follower displacement, velocity and acceleration. The boundary values usually depend on the ramp properties of a cam. Our method, thus, allows designers to smooth the existing cam motion without any damages on its ramp areas. Because the ramp height, velocity and acceleration are maintained exactly, more radical smoothing is possible. An example shows that the proposed method can be a powerful tool of cam profile smoothing, which removes high frequency components in the cam profile excitations without any changes in ramp properties.

A high-speed signal processor for Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors using modified ramp modulation is implemented. The main idea for the signal processing is to find a modulation waveform that could induce a linear frequency change in a laser diode to linearize the relationship between the optical phase shift and measurand. It is found that the waveform could be modeled as the addition of a linear term and an exponential term. A signal processor adopting modified ramp modulation technique is implemented and evaluated to find linearity, drift and random walk of $<{\pm}1.5%$, $0.4^{\circ}C$, $5.28{\times}10^{-4}^{\circ}C/{\sqrt{Hz}}$.

We measured the transport properties of$ YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{x}$ ramp-edge junction fabricated with interface-engineered barrier. The current-voltage characteristics show a typical resistively-shunted junction like behavior Voltage noise measurement revealed that the main source of the 1/f noise is the critical current and resistance fluctuations. The analysis of the noise data showed that the critical current fluctuations increase with temperature, whereas the resistance fluctuations are almost constant, and both fluctuations are almost correlated. The smaller magnitude of the critical current and resistance fluctuations seems to result from the columnar-deflects.s.

Accelerated life tests (ALTs) are frequently used in manufacturing industries to evaluate the reliability of products within a reasonable amount of time and cost. Test units are subjected to elevated stresses which yield quick failures. Most of the previous works on designing ALT plans are focused on tests that involve a single stress. Many times more than one stress factor influence the product's functioning. This paper deals with the design of optimum modified ramp-stress ALT plan for Burr type XII distribution with Type-I censoring under two stress factors, viz., voltage and switching rate each at two levels- low and high. It is assumed that usage time to failure is power law function of switching rate, and voltage increases linearly with time according to modified ramp-stress scheme. The cumulative exposure model is used to incorporate the effect of changing stresses. The optimum plan is devised using D-optimality criterion wherein the ${\log}_{10}$ of the determinant of Fisher information matrix is maximized. The method developed has been explained using a numerical example and sensitivity carried out.

This paper presents a simple and fast delay metric RC-class interconnects under saturated ramp inputs. The RC delay metric under saturated ramp inputs, called FDM(Fast Delay Metric), can estimate delay times at an arbitrary node using a simple closed-form expression and is extended from delay metric under step input easily As compared with similar techniques proposed in previous researches, it is shown that the FDM technique complexity for a similar accuracy. As the number of circuit nodes increases, there will be a significant difference in estimation times of RC delay between the previous techniques based on two circuit moments and the FDM which do not depend on circuit moments.

This paper presents a method evaluating benefits of ramp metering strategies on freeway safety. Based on the traffic and the accident data collected on a 4.2 km (2.6 mile) section of Interstate highway 35-West in Minneapolis, U.S.A., the relationship between traffic variables and safety measures is investigated. An aggregate specification that could be used to predict accident frequencies on freeways is proposed as a multiple regression form. The specification includes 15 minutes volume and occupancy data, which are commonly available from surveillance and control systems. The primary variables that appear to affect the frequencies of freeway accident are: vehicle-miles of travel, entrance ramp volumes and the dynamic effect of queue building. A simulation method evaluating the dynamic effect of control strategies on safety is proposed next. The potential benefits of freeway ramp metering on freeway safety are finally investigated via a proposed method.
