In this paper, the stable region for missile guidance loop employing an integrated proportional navigation guidance law is derived. The missile guidance loop is formulated as a closed-loop control system consisting of a linear time-invariant feed-forward block and a time-varying feedback gain. By applying the circle criterion to the system, a bound for the time of flight up to which stability can be assured is established as functions of flight time. Less conservative results, as compared to the result by Popov criterion, are obtained.

When the manipulator consisting of high ratio gear reducers at its joints is used as the slave manipulator in teleoperated systems, its dynamic characteristics is much slower than that of the master manipulator and it is likely to encounter the saturation in the input magnitude. The control input saturation generates an windup phenomenon that the system stability and position tracking performance of the slave manipulator are to be deteriorated. This paper proposes an force reflecting control scheme and its design method which compensates the control input saturation with absolute stability. The proposed scheme is shown to give a stable force reflection while compensating for control input saturation effectively.

Recently, mobile-phone with camera module has an absolute majority in the released mobile-phones. For this trend, High precision of the plastic subminiature barrel which is the core part is needed significantly because the camera module of mobile-phone must have high performance. Therefore, Structural stability of the injection mold for plastic subminiature barrel has to be guaranteed. In this paper, structural analysis of injection mold for plastic subminiature barrel is performed. Finally, the deformation trend and stability of injection mold core are analyzed.

This paper presents an improved group of energy functions reflecting generator damping effects for multi-machine power systems by using Center of Inertia (COI) formulation as an extension of the previous work. Since rotor angles at the Stable Equilibrium Point (SEP) of post-fault systems are generally calculated in COI, system transient energy can be found without assumption of infinite or slack bus, which is a crucial drawback of the absolute rotor angle frame approach. The developed energy functions have a structure preserving property with which it is very flexible to incorporate various models of power system components, especially various load and generator models. The proposed damping-reflected energy functions are applied to the Potential Energy Boundary Surface (PEBS) method, one of the direct methods. Numerical simulation of WSCC 9-bus shows that conservativeness of the PEBS method can be considerably reduced.

This study has been conducted to evaluate the applicability of the control method in the dehumidification-integrated radiant floor cooling system in terms of stability of the room air temperature and the control variables through experiments. To do this, the relationship between the control variables in preventing floor surface condensation is first analyzed and the control method is predetermined through simulations. The results are as follows. First, it is necessary to determine the operation status of the dehumidification system according to the relationship between floor surface temperature and dew point temperature in the conditioned space. Second, outdoor reset with indoor temperature feedback control is better than on/off bang-bang control with respect to temperature stability in controlling the room air temperature and the possibility of energy savings. Finally, the humidity sensor can be located with the current thermostat in that there are small differences in absolute humidity in vertical distribution.

We make a studyof the hydrogen permeability and chemical stability of $Nb_{56}Ti_{23}Ni_{21}$ metal alloy membrane. For this purpose, we produced the $Nb_{56}Ti_{23}Ni_{21}$ membrane which has 10 mm diameter and 0.5 mm thick, and experiment the hydrogen transport properties under two kinds of feed gas ($H_2$ 100%; $H_2$ 60% + $CO_2$ 40%) at $450^{\circ}C$C with variation of absolute pressure.The maximum hydrogen permeation flux was $5.58mL/min/cm^2$ in the absolute pressure 3 bar under pure hydrogen. And each case of feed gases about gas composition, the permeation fluxes were satisfied with Sievert's law, and the hydrogen permeation flux decreased with decrease of hydrogen partial pressure irrespective of temperature and pressure. After permeation test, we experiment the stability and durability of $Nb_{56}Ti_{23}Ni_{21}$ alloy membrane for carbon dioxide by XRD analysis.

The silver nanofluids were synthesized by the pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method in a liquid-gas mixture. The size and microstructure of nanoparticles in the deionized water were investigated by a particle size analyzer (PSA), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Also, the synthesized nanofluids were investigated in order to assess the stability of dispersion of nanofluid by the zetapotential analyzer and dispersion stability analyzer. The results showed that the spherical silver nanoparticle formed in the deionized water and mean particle size was about 50 nm. Also, when explosion times were in the range of 20$\sim$200 times, the absolute value of zeta potential was less than -27 mV and the dispersion stability characteristic of low concentration silver nanofluid was better than the high concentration silver nanofluid by turbiscan.

To elucidate the effects of natural gums, i.e. carrageenan, locust bean gum and xanthan gum and synthetic gums, i.e. carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC) and methyl cellulose(MC) on the foaming properties of sodium caseinate, surface tension, absolute viscosity, turbidity, foaming ability, foam stability, and heat stability of the foams of the caseinate solutions with added gums were examined. The surface tension of sodium caseinate solution(5%) adding to gums at pH 4.0 and 5.0 were higher than those at pH 7.0 and 8.0. The viscosities of the solutions adding to gums(0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5%) ap pH 4.0, 5.0, 7.0 and 8.0 were 2.4~170.0, 2.5~190.0, 5.3~180.0 and 6.3~99.0 cps, respectively. Especially xanthan gums predominantly increased the viscosity. Turbidities were 97.3~98.2 at pH 4.0 and 5.0 and 93.0~95.8 at pH 7.0 and 8.0. Foaming abilities of the solution adding to xanthan gum, carrageenan and locust bean gum were increased, while those of CMC and MC were decreased. Additions of xantham gum, CMC and MC increased the foam stability, especially xanthan gum did predominantly. Xanthan gum, MC and locust bean gum were more effective than CMC and carrageenan for heat stability. For improving the foaming properties of sodium caseinate xanthan gum were best of five kinds of gums. Surface tensions and turbidities of the solution were related to foaming ability, and the viscosities were related to foam stability and heat stability.

The stability of titanium dioxide dispersion was evaluated by zeta ($\zeta$) potential and we intended to apply it for improvement of dispersion stability. Both theories related to $\zeta$ potential (electric double layer, electrophoresis, isoelectric point and electroosmosis) and a method to measure $\zeta$ potential were explained in this study. The change in $\zeta$ potential of $TiO_2$ dispersion was measured by means of Henry's function of Helmholtz-Smoluchowski's equation (H-S equation). The $\zeta$ potentials of $TiO_2$ dispersion were negative in all measured pH values ($3.0{\sim}9.0$), and absolute values of $\zeta$ potentials of $TiO_2$ increased as pH values increased. $TiO_2$ dispersion was maintained in pH 8.0 and 9.0 respectively. From these results, we suggest that $\zeta$ potentials have an effect on $TiO_2$ dispersion and absolute value of $\zeta$ potentials played an important role in the stability of $TiO_2$ dispersion in aqeous medium.

Poly-methylmetacrylate (PMMA) is mainly applied in the plastic manufacturing industry, but PMMA is weak and gradually got discolor. The strength of PMMA can be improved through organic-inorganic hybrid nano composites with inorganic nano particles such as, $SiO_2$ or ZrO. However, inorganic nano particles are mostly agglomerated spontaneously. In this study, the zeta potential is controlled using different types of organic solvent with different concentrations, dispersibillity of $SiO_2$ nano particles on the PMMA particle are analyzed. When 3 M acetic acid is used, absolute value of the zeta potential is higher, $SiO_2$ nano particle is well attached, and dispersed on the PMMA particle surface. Results indicate that the absolute value of the zeta potential affects the stability of $SiO_2$ dispersion.
