In this paper, we propose real time transient stability assessment and energy margin estimation using fuzzy approximate reasoning. The proposed method used rotor angle, kinetic energy and acceleration power of generators at clearing time as fuzzy input. In order to calculate energy margin in transient energy function (TEF), we obtained controlling unstable equilibrium point (UEP) using mode of disturbance procedure (MOD). The proposed algorithm is tested on 4-machine, 6-bus, 7-line power system to prove of effectiveness.

Real-time driving simulation is a comprehensive technology that can be applied effectively to vehicle and traffic safety improvement, by reproducing various driving conditions and situations realistically in a safe and controlled environment. This paper describes PC-based real-time driving simulation technology in terms of design factors and simulation components. It also introduces Kookmin University Driving Simulators developed based on these considerations, which have been applied effectively to ABS HILS and a human factor study concerning sudden acceleration accident reconstruction.

In this paper, missile homing guidance laws to control the impact angle and time are proposed based on the polynomial function. To derive the guidance commands, we first assume that the acceleration command profile can be represented as a polynomial function with unknown coefficients. After that, the unknown coefficients are determined to achieve the given terminal constrains. Using the determined coefficients, we can finally obtain the state feedback guidance command. The suggested approach to design the guidance laws is simple and provides the more generalized optimal solutions of the impact angle and time control guidance.

In this paper, we present a case study of vibration suppression based on the application of active damping to the small boring process of a boring bar with diameter below ${\Phi}12$. The proposed active damping system consists of an acceleration sensor for real-time monitoring of the vibration signal, a driver for phase control in a computer program, and piezoelectric actuators for damping. In this system, the vibration signals are detected by the acceleration sensor and sent to the computer as an input. The phase shift parameter of the natural frequency of the input signal is sent to the data acquisition board in the computer and calculated by the phase control program. This study confirmed the effectiveness of this damping system, and it opens up the possibility of the development of active damping systems for small boring processes.

This paper addresses the heading control of an offshore floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) using a resolved motion and acceleration control (RMAC) algorithm. A turret moored vessel tends to have the slewing motion. This slewing motion may cause a considerable decrease in working time in loading and unloading operation because the sloshing in the LNG containment tank might happen and/or the collision between FSRU and LNGC may take place. In order to deal with the downtime problem due to this slewing motion, a heading control system for the turret moored FSRU is developed, and a series of model tests with azimuth thrusters on the FSRU is conducted. A Kalman filter is applied to estimate the low-frequency motion of the vessel. The RMAC algorithm is employed as a primary heading control method and modified I-controller is introduced to reduce the steady-state errors of the heading of the FSRU.

Road loads data are indispensable in the evaluation of BSR (Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle) of automotive parts/modules. However, there are uncertainties on the best measurement locations for representative body motion and for seat systems. In the present study, we measure road loads at four different locations of a body. A-pillars on the driver and passenger sides and left and right frame fronts of the front passenger seat mountings are selected to study the acceleration behavior at different locations. The measurements are conducted with passenger cars driving local roads at 50km/hr. The measured time-acceleration data are then transformed into PSD (power spectral density) data to compare the characteristics of local accelerations. By defining the deviated acceleration components from rigid body motion, the stiffness of vehicle body could be simply expressed in a quantitative basis. Measured data from two different vehicles are presented to demonstrate their relative vehicle body stiffness.

The present work utilizes system identification technique for health monitoring of shear building, wherein Parametric State Space modeling has been adopted. The method requires input excitation to the structure and also output acceleration responses of both undamaged and damaged structure obtained from numerically simulated model. Modal parameters like eigen frequencies and eigen vectors have been extracted from the State Space model after introducing appropriate transformation. Least square technique has been utilized for the evaluation of the stiffness matrix after having obtained the modal matrix for the entire structure. Highly accurate values of stiffness of the structure could be evaluated corresponding to both the undamaged as well as damaged state of a structure, while considering noise in the simulated output response analogous to real time scenario. The damaged floor could also be located very conveniently and accurately by this adopted strategy. This method of damage detection can be applied in case of output acceleration responses recorded by sensors from the actual structure. Further, in case of even limited availability of sensors along the height of a multi-storeyed building, the methodology could yield very accurate information related to structural stiffness.

The objective of this study was to compare the unimanual and bimanual complementary movements of the affected upper extremity. Thirty participants living in Busan area with post-stroke hemiparesis were involved in this study. They were selected according to twelve criteria. We used the Fitmeter accelerometer to measure Signal Vector Magnitude, peak acceleration and peak deceleration. The movement time and Signal Vector Magnitude of bimanual complementary movement were less than those of unimanual movement(p<0.05). Therefore, we suggest that bimanual complementary movement is more useful, as for the kinematic aspect, than unimanual movement when a person with stroke perform activities of daily living.

This paper presents torque control of DC motor using the velocity profile based acceleration/deceleration controller for automatic guided vehicles (AGVs). This technique has some advantage; to reduce the damage of motors and to extend the life time of motors. First, we generate velocity profiles for three cases and design the state feedback controller using the generated velocity profile as a reference. The state feedback controller has servo system for solving regulation problem. For the verification, we apply the proposed method to control a cart position and shows some simulation result.

We have developed a large area ion shower doping system with an RF plasma ion source. The ion current density (i.e., doping concentration) increases with RF power and acceleration voltage. Using this technique, we investigated the optimum condition for ion doping of phosphorus in a-Si:H and poly-Si films. The optimum acceleration voltage and doping time are 6KV and 90sec, respectively, in a-Si:H films. Under this condition the electrical conductivity of ion-doped a-Si:H film is obtained ~10$^{-3}$/cm at room temperature. The sheet resistance decreases witnh acceleration voltage in ion-doped poly-Si, and a heavily-doped layer with a sheet resistance of 920$\Omega$/ㅁ is obtained by using ion doping and subsequent activation.
