This paper proposes a novel topology and control algorithm for a three-phase line-interactive UPS system with active power-line conditioning capability. This paper presents a simple and systematic control algorithm to regulate the source current and the load voltage of the proposed UPS system using PQR transformation. A parallel inverter operating as a controlled voltage source regulates the source current sinusoidal by controlling the applied voltage on an ac line inductor. The series inverter operating as a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) compensates for the main source voltage and rides through the output load voltage to be balanced and harmonic-free. Both of the series and parallel inverters always act as controllable voltage sources independently, so that the three-phase output voltages can transfer seamlessly between normal mode and backup mode. The proposed UPS system has high operation efficiency and high usage of the converter capacity, and good endurance against voltage transients or EMI noise resulted from the mains. The feasibility of the proposed UPS system has been investigated and verified through computer simulations and experiments by a 60kVA prototype UPS.

This paper describes implementation of an application-specific DSP for OFDM modem systems. The proposed instructions can support computations of various blocks in OFDM systems. The Data ALU is specially designed and optimized for the proposed instructions. Performance comparisons show that the number of clock cycles improves over 10 % compared with Carmel DSP and over 50% compared with TMS320C62X for FFT computation. However, the size of the DSP is much smaller than existing DSPs. The proposed architecture is implemented using iPROVE FPGA board and verification is performed using assembly programs that implement most of OFDM blocks. The SQNR value of FFT output is about 71 dB.

The incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) sch.mes used in wireless communications was discussed. Concatenated coding used in IR-HARQ sch.mes provided a new array of possibilities for adaptability in terms of decoding complexity and communication time versus reliability. The value of the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters were transformed into actions taken by the link layer protocol in terms of adaptive coding strategies. The IR-HARQ protocol was found to be an efficient and fault tolerant link layer protocol.

This paper provides a reliable H∞ state feedback controller design method for singular systems with/without time-varying delay satisfying asymptotic stability with H∞ norm bound and all actuator failures occurred within the prescribed subset. The sufficient condition for the existence of a reliable H∞ controller and the controller design method are presented by linear matrix inequality (LMI), singular value decomposition, sch.r complements, and changes of variables. Since the obtained sufficient condition can be expressed as an LMI form, all variables can be calculated simultaneously. A numerical example is given to illustrate the validity of the result.

We present a new state-space approach for designing a dynamic output feedback control law which stabilizes a class of linear time invariant systems. All the states of the given system are not measurable and only the output is used to design the stabilizing control law. In the design sch.me, however, we first assume that the given system can be stabilized by a feedback law composed of the output and its derivatives of a certain order. Beginning with this assumption, we systematically construct a dynamic system which removes the need of the derivatives. The actual order of the constructed dynamic feedback controller is the dimension of the output times the order of derivatives that are necessary. Therefore, it may be useful for order reduction of dynamic controllers. A set-point regulation problem for a magnetic levitation system is also solved without using the velocity measurement.

The inspection of steam-generator tubes in nuclear power plants needs to collect test signals in a highly radiated region that is not accessible by humans. In general, a robot equipped with a camera and a test probe is used to handle such a dangerous environment. The robot moves the probe to right below a tube to be inspected and then the probe is inserted into the tube. The inspection signals are acquired while the probe is pulling back. Currently, an operator in a control room controls all the process remotely. To make a fully automatic inspection system, first of all, a control mechanism is needed to position the probe to the proper location. This is so called a hand-eye coordination problem. In this paper, a hand-eye coordination method for a robot has been presented. The proposed method consists of the two consecutive control modes: rough positioning and fine-tuning. The rough positioning controller tries to position its probe near a target place using kinematics information and the known environments, and then the fine-tuning controller tries to adjust the probe to the target using the image acquired by the camera attached to the robot. The usefulness of the proposed method has been tested and verified through experiments.

This paper presents a design and performance tests of in-plane gimbal-structured Z-axis gyroscope. The device is manufactured by conventional surface micro machining process using 15μm-thickness epitaxially grown polysilicon. The total size of the device is 4.8mm × 4.8mm in area including 1mm × 1mm core gyro structure and pads for wire bonding. It is designed as two-gimbaled structure which separates inner and outer gimbals. This leads two nearly identical modes of gyroscope, i.e. driving and sensing mode, to mechanically decoupled ones, resulting in enhanced performance. Experiments are accomplished through frequency analysis and dynamic tests using a detection circuit, a vacuum chamber and a rate table. Through experiments, it is confirmed that the designed gyroscope has 0.003 deg/sec resolution, 0.00095 deg/sec/√Hz noise equivalent density, 0.57% FSO nonlinearity error and 0.02 deg/sec bias stability.

The use of simple and extremely accurate voltage buffers to drive two MOS transistors in triode region is employed to obtain a very linear voltage-to-current conversion. Transconductance can be simply and precisely adjusted using DC level shifters. Measurement results of a balanced transconductor fabricated in a 0.5-μm CMOS technology show a -54 dB THD at 100 kHz for 80-μA peak-to-peak outputs, using a 2-V supply. Silicon area is 0.07 mm2 and static power consumption is 0.92 mW.

In most spine surgeries, the physician directly performs the surgical operation with help of specially designed surgical tools along with off-line CT images and possibly with fluoroscopic images that provide the on-line status of current surgical operation for patient However, the surgical procedure generally requires accurate operational skills and intuition of the physician. Sometimes, trifling errors or misjudgments during surgical operation could result in unrecoverable damages to patients. To cope with these problems, robotic technology has been incorporated into the surgical operations in various levels [1-3]. In this paper, a robotic system for percutaneous spine surgery, called SPINEBOT, is developed. The expected roles of SPINEBOT are to provide the guide for the K-wire, to help the physician to locate and orient the position of surgery more accurately, and to compensate for respiration movement of the patient's body during operation. A preliminary experiment has been conducted with a mockup environment of surgical operation. The experimental results confirm that the SPINEBOT is not only able to guide by accurately pointing and orienting the specified location, but also successfully compensate the emulated respiratory movement of the patient.
