The composting process is a suitable to dispose the livestock manure in terms of resources recovery. However the performence of composting process is greatly affected by the environmental conditions such as characteristics of manure, type of the bulking agent, initial moisture contents, temperature, recycle and so on. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimum environmental conditions of composting process for livestock manures. The analytical results indicated that no bulking agent was necessary for the cow manure because of the proper C/N ratio. However the pig manure required a bulking agent since the pig manure had not only low in C/N ration but poor ventilation characteristics. In addtion, the initial miosture content for optimum composting appeared to be about 60%. The temperature control was also an essential factor to enhance the activity of thermophilic microorganisms in the laboratory composting unit. It was further found that the recycle of composts may contributed the completion of composting precess as well as C/N ratio reduction and moisture control.

Compensation of temperature is very important to make high precision load cell. In this study, we developed a new type load cell. The structure of the load cell has four strain gauges on single side of the load cell beam. Also a new temperature compensation method was proposed and these characteristics were better than previous one. This study will offer application to other type of load cell and another sensors.

This paper presents an analysis of microwave device component. An H-Plane waveguide component with arbitrary shape is analyzed using finite element method(FEM) cooperated with boundary element method(BEM). The finite element method(FEM) is applied to the junction region and the boundary element method(BEM) to the waveguide region. For the application of BEM in the waveguide structure, a ray representation of the waveguide Green's function is used. The proposed technique was applied to the analysis of the waveguide inductive junction to compare the numerical result with the result of the mode matching technique. The comparison showed good agreements between the two results. Transmitted powers were also computed in T-junction waveguides for the various shape of the junction area.

In this paper, a new LMS algorithm with a fuzzy variable step size (FVS LMS) is presented. The change of step size ${\mu}$, at each iteration which is increases or decreases according to the misadaptation degree, is computed by a proportional fuzzy logic controller. As a result the algorithm has very good convergence speed and low steady-state misadjustment. As a measure of the misadaptation degree, the norm of the cross correlation between the estimation error and input signal is used. Simulation results are presented to compare the performance of the FVSS LMS algorithm with the normalized LMS algorithm.

In this paper, a new PID fuzzy controller (FC) is presented. The linguistic control rules of PID FC is separated into two parts : one is $e-{\Delta}e$ part, and the other is ${\Delta}^2e-{\Delta}e$ part. And then two FCs employing these rule base indivisually are synthesized. The control input to the process is decided by taking weighted mean of the outputs of two FCs. The proposed PID FC improve the transient response of the system and gives better performance than the conventional PI FC.

Bending fatigue tests were carried out on the specimenes with two different strength levels in order to investigate small crack growth rate. The main results obtained are as follows : (1) Small crack growth law, $da/dn=C{\sigma}_a{^n}a$ is useful several materials, but is not the rule applicable to all cases generally. (2) When da/dn in several specimens are equal, COD near the crack tip are also nearly equal. (3) Crack tip opening displacement(CTOD) is the main factor to control the small crack growth rate, and da/dn ${\propto}$ CTOD comes into being between the two. Accordingly, $da/dn=C({\sigma}_a{^2}/{\sigma}_s){^n}a^n$ shows the small crack growth rate being reflected crack closure phenomenon.

Using two current conveyors with the grounded capacitors and resistors, this paper proposed equivalent circuits which can realize the floating L and the floating FDNR. To find out their characteristics, we experiment with these circuits instead of the floating L of the low-pass filter and the floating FDNR of the high-pass filter respectively. Comparing theoretical values with experimental ones, values of the proposed floating L represent the error of 5 percents in the frequency range from 5 KHz to 25 KHz, and values of the floating FDNR represent the error of 5 percents in the range from 8 KHz to 25 KHz. So the proposed floating L and the FDNR circuits are expected to be implemented with current conveyors of an IC.

To analyze dynamic characterics for a motorcar, the creating and the hammering test methods are introduced. This paper has studied the method of computing the natural frequency of the impulse wave on a tire, the decay constant which determines the absorption capability for the impulsive force. Moreover we have examined the reliability for the decay constant calculated, in this paper theoritical results are agreed with the simulated ones.

핀끝이 절연 되었을 때와 절연되지 않았을 때의 두가지 경우에 대하여 삼각핀을 2차원적으로 해석하고 또한 삼각핀 끝의 온도를 단지 유한하다고 놓았을 때 이를 1차원적으로 해석하여 각각의 세가지 경우에 대한 핀으로 부터의 열손실과 핀중심을 따른 온도변화를 Biot number와 무차원적인 핀의 길이의 변화에 따라 비교 분석하여 구체적으로 삼각핀에 대한 핀끝의 영향을 보여준다. 결과들은 다음과 같다. 핀의 길이가 아주 짧을 경우 2차원적으로 해석한 핀끝이 절연되지 않았을 때의 열손실에 대한 같은 2차원적으로 해석한 핀끝이 절연 되었을 대의 열손실의 상대오차가 매우 크며 핀의 길이를 따른 무차원적인 온도변화는 1차원적으로 해석한 핀끝의 온도가 유한할 경우에 가장 낮은 값을 나타내며 2차원적으로 해석한 핀끝이 절연되었을 경우가 가장 높은 값을 나타낸다.

In this paper, an OPS(Optical Protection Socket) unit is designed and prototyped for the application in the optical CPN(Customer Premises Network). The OPS unit, which plays an important role in the CPN for the enhanced network reliability, is consisted of $1{\times}2$ optical fiber splitter, combiner, and $1{\times}1$ optical switch to be a hybrid-typed unit. Various considerations, about power burget and optical information loss have given the most practical design for OPS. From the measurement of the realized OPS unit, it has proved such as the pertinent switching delay time with minimum data loss, the perceptive ability on the ONU degradation, the switching ability on the ONU malfunction.
