Laser welding is widely used for precision welding because of superior mechanical properties and high productivity. Generally the accuracy of the welding is determined by the distribution of the bead which is affected by the structural vibrations of the equipment. This study was originated to stabilize a laser welding machine to minimize the bead distribution for the precise joining. The structural properties of the laser welding machine have been investigated to analyze the major factors of the vibrations to cause the bead distribution. The ideas for the design improvement have been applied to the simulation model to identify the effects and further to achieve the stability design and to minimize the bead distribution. The result shows that a few simple design alterations can substantially suppress the structural vibrations and improve the welding accuracy. The procedure used for this study can also be applied to similar welding equipments for improving the structural stability and the welding accuracy.

This paper is the first part of the study on the accuracy improvement of numerical analysis of steel welds. The aim of this paper is to raise the accuracy of thermal analysis results, such as the shape and size of the weld cross section and the hardness distribution in HAZ(Heat-Affected Zone). It is known that the factors affecting on the accuracy are thermal properties, metallurgical properties and welding heat source model. It was found that the arbitrary distributed heat source model should be used to predict practical weld cross section shape and size. Also, in order to improve the prediction accuracy of HAZ hardness distribution, it was essential to consider 2 CCT(Continuous Cooling Transformation) diagrams in calculating volume fraction of transformed phases. One is the peak temperature being around melting temperature. The other is the peak temperature being around metallurgical transformation temperature.

Respiration rate is one of the important vital signs. Photo-plethysmography (PPG) measurement especially on a finger has been widely used in pulse oximetry and also used in estimating respiration rate. It is well known that PPG contains respiration-induced intensity variation (RIIV) signal. However, the accuracy of finger PPG method has been controversial. We introduced a new technique of enhancing motion artifact by respiration. This was achieved simply by measuring PPG on the thorax. We examined the accuracy of these two PPG methods by comparing with two existing methods based on thoracic volume and nostril temperature changes. PPG sensing on finger tip, which is the most common site of measurement, produced 6.1 % error. On the other hand, our method of PPG sensing on the thorax achieved 0.4 % error which was a significant improvement. Finger PPG is sensitive to motion artifact and it is difficult to recover fully small respiratory signal buried in waveform dominated by absorption due to blood volume changes. Thorax PPG is poor to represent blood volumes changes since it contains substantial motion artifact due to respiration. Ironically, this inferior quality ensures higher accuracy in terms of respiration measurement. Extreme low-cost and small-sized LED/silicon detector and non-constrained reflection measurement provide a great candidate for respiration estimation in ubiquitous or personal health monitoring.

In case high strength steels are applied for press-formed automotive parts, it is very difficult to secure forming accuracy due to large springback compared to moderate strength steels. In this study, a repetitive step-wise forming analyses based on secant method was proposed as the die design method for mandrel(bending tool) for the 2-axis bending equipments. A bending die with circular mandrel was designed for the DP780 blow motor case of which diameter and thickness are 70.8mm and 2.0mm respectively. Forming tests were performed to verify the validity of established die design and the results were compared with that of conventional HGI(Hot galvanized iron steel) blow motor case. For additional improvement in forming accuracy, an elliptical mandrel was proposed and its validity was verified using forming analyses based on secant method.

The projection approximation subspace tracking (PAST) is one of the attractive subspace tracking algorithms, because it estimatesthe signal subspace adaptively and continuously. Furthermore, the computational complexity is relatively low. However, the algorithm still has room for improvement in the subspace estimation accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to improve the subspace estimation accuracy using a normally ordered input vector and a reversely ordered input vector simultaneously.

The accuracy of sample-and-hold amplifiers (SHA's) empolying a CMOS process in limited by nonideal factors such as linearity errors of an op amp and feedthrough errors of switches. In this work, after some linearity improvement techniques for an op amp are discussed, three different SHA's for video signal processing are designed, simulated, and compared. The CMOS SHA design techniques with a 12-bit level accuracy are proposed by minimizing cirucit errors based on the simulated results.

The performance of machine tools is qualified by many test procedures given by the national/international standards or respected organisations. Among them, test regarding circular-interpolation accuracy is getting to be one of the important acceptance tests at the production level. Machine tool systems are composed of many mechanical and electronical sub-systems so that it is not easy to improve dynamic performance by examining only one particular part. Instead, overall systematic approach encompassing all the contributing elements is necessary to achieve good results. In this study, measures taken in circular accuracy improvements will be explained case by case.

Both the accuracy and stability of the clock get from the GPS receiver are considered in the range of pps. And we verified the system clock stability of a micro-controller system using the pps pulse supplied by the GPS receiver. In complex system of digital processing, the rack of precise timing signal may cause the serious problem or breakdown accident. To get rid of these undesirable problems, we introduced VCXO circuit to a micro-controller system to preserve high accurate clock stability.
