As one of the methods for recycling the FRP from the waste ships, separation of roving layer from the mat has some merits in a sense of the eco-friendly and economical recycling process. Similar characteristics, however, between the roving and the mat even with different ratio of the resin and the glass and the thickness of the roving, much thinner than the mat, make the mechanically automatic differentiation difficult. In this study spectrochemical differentiation between the two layers has been made using boiling concentrated sulfuric acid, methanol and isopropanol solution saturated with KOH, or hydrogen fluoride (HF) solution. Furthermore efficiently coloring water-soluble dye following the HF treatment makes the roving layer more distinguishable photophysically. The layer differentiation and the automatic layer distraction move up the date of simple and automatic separation process for the waste FRP.

The automatic system for $^{67}Ga$ production using for the diagnosis of malignant tumor has been developed. A solvent extraction and an ion exchange chromatography were used for the separation $^{67}Ga$ from the irradiated enriched $^{68}Zn$. This system consisted of a solvent separation unit which was composed of micro conductivity cells, air supply tubes, solvent transfer tubes, solenoid valves and glasses, a PLC based controller and a PMU user interface unit for automation. The radiation exposure to the workers and the production time can both be reduced by employing this system during the $^{67}Ga$ production phase. After all, the mass production of $^{67}Ga$ with high efficiency was possible.

In the present paper, a current technical progress for recycling of used steel can is described. The developed technology was a kind of pre-treatment through an automatic equipment system to increase recycling and melting efficiency of used steel co. The process consisted of several unit processes such as breaking of steel can bale, removing dust, separation of aluminum can, delacquering, and compressing to bale. Also, aluminum powders were recovered as a by-product at the delacquering step. The process was carried out automatically through by use of the developed equipment system. The automatic system could be very available in mass treatment of used steel can.

The production of plum jangachi requires the cleaning of plums, immersion in saltwater, separation of seed and pulp, removal of impurities, and addition of sugar. In most farms, the separation of plum seed and pulp is carried out manually, requiring considerable labor, which is why plum jangachi is expensive. To solve this problem, this study designed and manufactured automatic, semi-automatic plum seed and pulp separators. During the design process, the characteristics were compared, and the machine power was determined through on-site test after manufacture. As a result, automatic machines used plums 180° arrayed and six reverse-edged blades, semi-automated plums 180° arrayed, and six blades, each with a 68% and 57% pulp recovery rate and a machine power of 80 kg/h and 62 kg/h respectively. Overall, the mechanization of plum processed food will reduce labor and increase the market value of plums compared to the previous method.

The Growing Self-Organizing Map (GSOM), an extended type of the Self-Organizing Map, is a widely accepted tool for clustering high dimensional data. It is also suitable for the clustering of short DNA sequences of phylogenetic genomes by their oligonucleotide frequency. The GSOM presents the result of the clustering process visually on a coloured map, where the clusters can be identified by the user. This paper describes a proposal for automatic cluster detection on this map without any participation by the user. It has been applied with good success on 20 different data sets for the purpose of species separation.

The combine harvester is considered as an important but complicated and costly machine. The appropriate size of combine has to be developed to use efficiently in Korea. But the combine is such a complicated machine that a complete design model to develop a new type is impossible without understanding the relationship between each factor. The combine capacity is generally limited by the cleaning shoe performance. So a design model for a cleaning shoe has to be developed first for the complete combine design. The objective of this research was to develop a cleaning model of head-feeding combine to predict grain separation from chaff and broken straw on a sieve. A developed physically based model can explain the situation which can happen during separation process. A test apparatus based on the field going machine was developed. The test materials were paddy rice and barley. The data obtained were analyzed by the hand and the video camera. The developed model was verified as an adequate model through the test with $R^2$ of 0.934 and 0.837. The model can be used to evaluate design and operation alternatives of combine and also applied to the automatic control of separation unit of combine with a loss monitering sensors.

These experiments were carried out to develop new techniques for In Vitro separatin of X-and Y-bearing spermatozoa. The bull semen was applied to the various Gel-Columns filled with swellen Sephadex G-50 Fine and then elutriated wtih Locke solution (elutriation rate; 1ml/3-4min., 1ml/1-2min.). Elutriated solution was fractionated into 1ml by automatic Fraction Collector and spermatozoa included in each fraction were subjected to the estimation of viability and recovery rate, and to B-body test. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows: 1. When the column size and the elutriation rate were adjusted to 15$\times$1.6cm and 1ml/3-4min., respectively, the highest sperm concentration was obtained from the 8th to the 12th fraction. 2. As a trend, the viability of spermatozoa was improved by chromatography, and the degree of improvement ranged 5 to 10 percentage. 3. The average recovery rate of spermatozoa applied to column was 73.2 percentage and ranged 52.6 to 81.3 percentage. 4. The lowest rate of B-body bearing spermatozoa following chromatography was obtained when the column size and the elutriation rate were adjusted to 15$\times$0.8cm and 1ml/1-2min., respectively.

It needs several large reservoirs and long time to remove suspended solid like steel fines and iron oxide in hot rolling coolant. If removing rate of suspended solid in rolling coolant is improved by using high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) system, the productivity of working process can be increased and the area of reservoir can be reduced. Pre-treatment process that react magnetic floc with inorganic and organic flocculant in coolant was studied. Horizontal type superconducting HGMS system was manufactured successfully, which was constituted with automatic filter transportation apparatus, 6 T He-free superconducting magnet system and water circulation system. The solid suspension removal ratio in hot rolling coolant was increased by flocculation with inorganic and organic flocculant.

This paper presents an automatic conversion of machining data from the orthographic views of press mold by feature recognition rule. The system includes following 6 modules : separation of views, function support, dimension text recognition, feature recognition, dimension text check and feature processing modules. The characteristic of this system is that with minimum user intervention, it recognizes basic features such as holes, slots, pockets and clamping parts and thus automatically converts CAD drawing details of press mold into machining data using 2D CAD system instead of using an expensive 3D Modeler. The system is developed by using IBM-PC in the environment of AutoCAD R12, AutoLISP and MetaWare High C. Performance of the system is verified as a good interfacing of CAD and CAM when applied to a lot of sample drawings.

Signal separation and transmission are essential for automatic breeding management of domestic animals. Electronic identification system could transmit the signal of an individual within a defined range to a personal computer by an electromagnetic signal recognition method. Signals for individual recognition were originated by controlling 12 tri-state pins of IC(PT2262) in a transmitter. PT 2262 can generate 4,096 codes. These encoded signals were modulated and transmitted with wireless lines from the transmitter. Then they were demodulated in a receiver, and the signals were transmitted to the micro-processor through an interface and were identified in a PC.
