The THz devices for practical use should operate at room temperature, be small in size, and have high output power. Therefore, this study was focused on gallium nitride (GaN), which possesses excellent material properties, such as wide bandgap characteristics and heteroepitaxy on Si substrates. The GaN-based oscillators and receivers are expected to be compact, operate at room-temperature, and act as a high-power device for the THz-band devices. However, GaN has crystal defects, which can cause instability in device operations. A double dielectric structure patch antenna composed of Silicon Nitride (SiN) and Benzo Cyclo Butene (BCB) with different dielectric constants was proposed to realize a GaN-based THz transmitter and receiver. The antenna characteristics were investigated using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The results showed that the SiN has little effect on the radiation, whereas the BCB is strongly responsible for the radiation. Comparing the absolute gain between the double dielectric structure and the conventional structure using the SiN, it was confirmed that the double dielectric structure can improve the absolute gain.</p>","PeriodicalId":50539,"journal":{"name":"Electronics and Communications in Japan","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50128529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel hybrid commutation method, which is suitable for the WPT system with a resonant characteristic, is proposed to avoid the commutation failure of the matrix converter. The strategy of the proposed hybrid commutation is based on an estimation of the current direction considering the resonant characteristics and elimination of commutation in the critical area. The proposed commutation method achieves an AC input-current total harmonic distortion (THD) of 4.7% with the resonant three-phase load without a current sensor on the high-frequency side.

However, indication on a care tag may peel off or the tag may come off due to deterioration over time. Discrimination of the material from the fabric itself is not easy for a general person. Estimating the material of an object is one of the challenging tasks in computer vision. This paper deals with the identification of cloth materials using computer vision. We studied a method to discriminate the fabric material from the image of clothing taken by a smartphone camera. First, we investigated the relationship between image resolution and discrimination accuracy using a convolutional neural network (CNN). As a result, we observed that the accuracy changes with resolution and that the resolution at which the accuracy is highest differs depending on the material. Based on these results, we proposed a fabric material discrimination method using multi-resolution images by combining two CNNs. As a result of the evaluation experiment, the proposed method discriminated six kinds of fabric materials with 87.1% accuracy, and the accuracy was significantly higher than that of the comparison method without using multi-resolution images.</p>","PeriodicalId":50539,"journal":{"name":"Electronics and Communications in Japan","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50126085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to this method, the output is estimated by extracting data from the database similar to the current situation. On the other hand, a database-driven control system has been proposed in which the JIT is equipped with a learning algorithm. This method calculates the control parameters using a database and has the scheme to learn the control parameters to minimize the control error. This paper proposes a new design method for soft sensors which uses a database-driven approach.
