  • This paper proposes a simple control strategy based on the discontinuous PWM(DPWM) to balance the DC-link voltage of three-level Neutral-Point-Clamped(WPC) inverters at low modulation index. New DPWM methods in multi-level inverter are also introduced. The proposed DPWM method changes the path and duration to flow the neutral point current out of or into neutral point of the DC-link and it makes the overall fluctuation of the DC-link voltage zero during a sampling time of reference voltage vector. Therefore, the voltage of the DC-link can be balanced fairly well and also the voltage ripple of the DC-link is reduced significantly. Moreover, comparing with conventional methods, the proposed strategy is very simple. The validity of the proposed DPWM method is verified by experiment

  • The implementation of a simple analog in-phase combiner is presented for a high capacity radio relay system with space diversity. It provides good performance in terms of simple hardware and easy control, and measured results are in good agreement with simulated ones. To suggest practical applications, signatures with/without diversity are measured for STM-1 signal of 64-QAM radio relay system combined with a 13-tap equalizer, and they provided more than 25 dB fade depth at 10$^{-3}$ BER under the frequency selective fading condition.

  • In this paper, we prove existence of infinitely many positive and concave solutions, by means of a simple approach, to $3^{th}$ order three-point singular boundary value problem {$x^{\prime\prime\prime}(t)=\alpha(t)f(t,x(t))$, 0 < t < 1, $x(0)=x'(\eta)=x^{\prime\prime}(1)=0$, (1/2 < $\eta$ < 1). Moreover with respect to multiplicity of solutions, we don't assume any monotonicity on the nonlinearity. We rely on a combination of the analysis of the corresponding vector field on the phase-space along with Knesser's type properties of the solutions funnel and the well-known Krasnosel'ski$\breve{i}$'s fixed point theorem. The later is applied on a new very simple cone K, just on the plane $R^2$. These extensions justify the efficiency of our new approach compared to the commonly used one, where the cone $K\;{\subset}\;C$ ([0, 1], $\mathbb{R}$) and the existence of a positive Green's function is a necessity.

  • This paper provides the engineer with a simple design method dealing with situations arise where in-situ reinforced concrete joints are cast between hollow core units. Using finite element method, hollow core slabs with wide in-situ RC joints under point load and line loads are analysed. In addition, some important behavioural characteristics of the floor slab subjected to line and point loads are investigated. In-situ reinforced concrete joint causes reduction of load distribution for remote units because distance to the remote units from the point of load is increased, while the portion of load distribution carried by loaded unit increases. Also, it was turned out load distribution factors for point load and line loads are almost same. Finally, we suggest a simple analytical method, which can determine load distribution factors using normalized deflections by regression analysis for design purposes.

  • Distribution-free estimation methods are proposed for slope, $\beta$ in the simple linear regression model. In this paper, we suggest the point estimators using the sequential slope based on sign test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Also confidence intervals are presented for each estimation methods. Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to compare the efficiency of these methods with least square method and Theil´s method. Some properties for the proposed methods are discussed.

  • Nuclei with the spin quantum number not smaller than unity have not only the nuclear magnetic moment but also the electric quadrupole moment. The quadrupole moment couples with the electric field gradient (EFG) to produce the nuclear quadrupole interaction. It is well known that two independent parameters, i.e. the quadrupole coupling constant (QCC) and the asymmetry parameter ($\eta$) together with the principal axis directions can fully describe the interaction and are very sensitive to the local symmetry and structure of the solid. In order to obtain quantitative estimates of the EFG tensor for various simple ionic configurations surrounding the nucleus under consideration, we employ the simple point charge approximation and apply the calculated results to some real crystals. General agreement is rather satisfactory.

  • This paper deals with the creation of a new, low-cost point/position tracking system that can measure deformations in engineering structures with simple commercially widespread cameras. Though point tracking systems do exist today, such as Stereo Pattern Recognition (SPR) and Projection Moir$\acute{e}$ Interferometry (PMI) systems, they are far too costly to use to analyze small, simple structures because complex optical components such as large flashes, high-resolution cameras and data acquisition systems with several computers are required. We developed a point tracking system using commercial cameras. This system used IR LEDs and commercial IR CCD cameras to minimize the interference posed by other extraneous light sources. The main algorithm used for this system is an optical point tracking algorithm, which is composed of the point extraction algorithm and the point matching algorithm for 3-D motion estimation. a series of verification tests were performed. Then, the developed point tracking system was applied to measure deformations of an acrylic plate under a mechanical load. The measured deformations of the acrylic plate matched well with the numerical analysis results. The results indicate that the developed point tracking system is reliable enough to measure continuous deformed shapes of various engineering structures.

  • As the maximum power operating point (MPOP) of photovoltaic (PV) power systems changes with changing atmospheric conditions, the efficiency of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is important in PV power systems. Many MPPT techniques have been considered in the past, but techniques using microprocessors with appropriate MPPT algorithms are favored because of their flexibility and compatibility with different PV arrays. Although the efficiency of these MPPT algorithms is usually high, it drops noticeably in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions. In this paper, we proposed a new MPPT control method called improved perturb and observe method (ImP&O), anda simple voltage and current characteristic equation of a PV array for PV array simulator. Experimental results verify the accuracy and excellent performance of the proposed MPPT method. ImP&O algorithm is very simple, and has successful tracked the MPOP, even in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions.

  • This paper proposes a simple space vector PWM (SVPWM) scheme including overmodulation operation for 3-level NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) Inverters. The proposed scheme features a simple decision and calculation procedure for determining switching times in the overmodulation range by utilizing the duty calculation method used in 2-level inverters and the minimum phase error projection method widely employed in motor drive systems. The proposed scheme does not need to detect the angle of the reference vector or calculate trigonometric functions to determine the magnitude of the voltage vector. The magnitude of the angle of the new reference voltage vector is decided in advance with the help of the Fourier Series Expansion to extend the linearity of the output voltage of 3-level inverters in the overmodulation region. Experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed SVPWM scheme including overmodulation operation for 3-level NPC inverters.
