The two-stage linear discrimination analysis (TSLDA) is a feature extraction technique to solve the small size sample problem in the field of image recognition. The TSLDA has retained all subspace information of the between-class scatter and within-class scatter. However, the feature information in the four subspaces may not be entirely beneficial for classification, and the regularization procedure for eliminating singular metrics in TSLDA has higher time complexity. In order to address these drawbacks, this paper proposes an improved two-stage linear discriminant analysis (Improved TSLDA). The Improved TSLDA proposes a selection and compression method to extract superior feature information from the four subspaces to constitute optimal projection space, where it defines a single Fisher criterion to measure the importance of single feature vector. Meanwhile, Improved TSLDA also applies an approximation matrix method to eliminate the singular matrices and reduce its time complexity. This paper presents comparative experiments on five face databases and one handwritten digit database to validate the effectiveness of the Improved TSLDA.

We have investigated operation of a 1:2:2 asymmetric 3-stage Doherty PA(Power Amplifier) and implemented using the Freescale's 4 W, 10 W PEP LDMOSFETS at 1 GHz. By employing the three peak efficiency characteristics, compared to the two peak N-way Doherty PA, the asymmetric 3-stage Doherty can overcome the serious efficiency degradation along the backed-off output power region and maximize the average efficiency for the modulation signal. To maximize the efficiency characteristic, the inverse class F PA has been designed as carrier and peaking amplifiers. Furthermore, to extract the proper load modulation operation, the adaptive gate bias control signal has been applied to the two peaking PAs based on the envelope tracking technique. For the 802.16e Mobile WiMAX(World Interoperability for Microwave Access) signal with 8.5 dB PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio), the proposed Doherty PA has shown 55.46 % of high efficiency at an average output power of 36.85 dBm while maintaining the -37.23 dB of excellent RCE(Relative Constellation Error) characteristic. This is the first time demonstration of applying the saturated PA and adaptive gate bias control technique to the asymmetric 3-stage Doherty PA for the highly efficient transmitter of the base-station application.

In a two-stage two-level balanced nested design, type I error rates for the parametric tests and the rank transformed tests for the main effects and the nested effects are in overall similar to each other. Furthermore, powers for the rank transformed statistic for the main effects and the nested effects in a two-stage two-level balanced nested design are generally superior to powers for the parametric statistic When the effect size and the sample size are increased, we can find that powers increase for the parametric statistic and the rank transformed statistic are dramatically improved. Especially for the case of the fixed effects in the asymmetric distributions such as an exponential distribution, powers for the rank transformed tests are quite high rather than powers for the parametric tests.

In this study, flow structure in a two-stage centrifugal compressor for a turbo-chiller with the refrigerant, R134a, was numerically investigated at the design point of the compressor using a commercial code. Flow characteristics in the passages of impeller, diffuser and return channel were analyzed in detail including velocity vector, secondary flow, Mach number and pressure contours in blade spanwise and meridional plane for each stage. The estimation on the one-dimensional output from the preliminary design and three-dimensional shape of the impeller blade and the meridional shape of the return channel were performed through the flow analysis, while some numerical schemes and techniques including Multiple Frames of Reference technique, real gas property data and inlet boundary condition changes, which were used in CFD, were compared with their features. The results will be used as reference data for a new design of 3-D impeller shape to improve R134a compressor performance.

In this paper, a simple scheme of two-stage free-space photonic swiching system for nonblocking optical interconnections has been investigated using holgorams. The multistage system requires a smaller number of interconnections for a given number of inpuut-output nonblocking ports than the single stage system does. Here hologram elements were used to change interconnection beam paths. In order to increase the idffraction efficiency of the hologram elements in photographic plates, a bleaching technique was used, which converts the amplitude hologram to the phase hologram. To show sthe feasibility of our optical interconnection system, it was implemented using the bleached hologram arrays and an LCTV spatial light modulator, and the sytem as a photonic switching system was demonstrated.

Multistage amplifiers have become appropriate choices for high-speed electronics and data conversion. Because of the large number of high-impedance nodes, frequency compensation has become the biggest challenge in the design of multistage amplifiers. The new compensation technique in this study uses two differential stages to organize feedforward and feedback paths. Five Miller loops and a 500-pF load capacitor are driven by just two tiny compensating capacitors, each with a capacitance of less than 10 pF. The symbolic transfer function is calculated to estimate the circuit dynamics and HSPICE and TSMC 0.18 ㎛. CMOS technology is used to simulate the proposed five-stage amplifier. A straightforward iterative approach is also used to optimize the circuit parameters given a known cost function. According to simulation and mathematical results, the proposed structure has a DC gain of 190 dB, a gain bandwidth product of 15 MHz, a phase margin of 89°, and a power dissipation of 590 ㎼.

Comprehensive study on the control system design for a RTP process has been conducted. The purpose of the control system is to maintain maximum temperature uniformity across the silicon wafer achieving precise tracking for various reference trajectories. The study has been carried out in two stages: thermal balance modeling on the basis of a semi-empirical radiation model, and optimal iterative learning controller design on the basis of a linear state space model. First, we found through steady state radiation modeling that the fourth power of wafer temperatures, lamp powers, and the fourth power of chamber wall temperature are related by an emissivity-independent linear equation. Next, for control of the MIMO system, a state space modeland LQG-based two-stage batch control technique was derived and employed to reduce the heavy computational demand in the original two-stage batch control technique. By accommodating the first result, a linear state space model for the controller design was identified between the lamp powers and the fourth power of wafer temperatures as inputs and outputs, respectively. The control system was applied to an experimental RTP equipment. As a consequence, great uniformity improvement could be attained over the entire time horizon compared to the original multi-loop PID control. In addition, controller implementation was standardized and facilitated by completely eliminating the tedious and lengthy control tuning trial.

Stage transformation characteristics of Li, K and Na-graphite deintercalation compounds (GDICs) were studied under consideration of a deintercalation mechanism of the intercalants between carbon layers. Li-graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) synthesized by a controlling temperatures and pressures have been spontaneously decomposed in the atmosphere. By X-ray differaction analysis the $d_{001}$-values of stage 1 and 2 were identified to be 3.71 and 7.06 $\AA$, respectively. After 6 weeks, the deintercalation reaction of the Li-GICs ceased and only residual compounds could be observed. K-GICs were synthesized by the modified two-bulb method resulting in structural stabilities and stage transitions. By X-ray diffraction analysis the very stable K-graphite residue compounds were observed after 10 weeks. Na-GICs with stage 1 and 2 were synthesized using the high temperature and pressure technique. The temperature dependence of a deintercalation reaction and a thermal stability of Na-GICs were discussed. The structure changes of the Na-GDICs depending on heating rates were identified by X-ray diffraction. According to the deintercalation process, the stage transformations could be attributed to irregular deintercalations of the GDICs with disordered stage.

An alternative technique to control multilevel inverters with vector approximations has been presented. The innovative control method utilizes specially designed two-dimensional hysteresis comparators to simplify the implementation and improve the resultant waveform. The multistage inverter designed with maximum number of levels is operated in such a way to approximate the reference voltage vector by exploiting the large number of multilevel inverter vectors. A three-stage inverter with the main high voltage stage made of three phase, six-switch and singly-fed inverter is considered for application to the proposed design. The proposed control concept is to maintain a higher voltage stage state as long as it can lead to a target vector. High and medium voltage stages controllers are based on surface hysteresis comparators to hold the switching state or to perform the necessary change to achieve its reference voltage with minimal switching losses. The low voltage stage controller is designed to approximate the target reference voltage to the nearest inverter vector using the nearest integer rounding and adjustment comparators. Model simulation and prototype test results show that the proposed control technique clearly outperforms the previous control methods.
