The development of adaptive control algorithms for possibly nonminimum phase systems has been hampered by singularities that may arise in the control law. To solve this problem, one securing convergence of the estimates to their true values by inducing persistency of excitation in the plant signals using direct adaptive control method and indirect adaptive control method, and another in which the estimates are adequately modified to meet the controllability requirements using indirect adaptive control method, without persistency of excitation. This paper presents an adaptive scheme that achieves regulation without persistent excitation condition using direct adaptive control method and reduces estimation algorithms with direct estimation of controller parameters without estimation of plant parameters.

The resistance characteristics of a trimaran are studied, varying the bottom profile and transom stern of the main hull. The bottom profile is varied in three cases (convex, flat, concave). Using the experimental and numerical methods, the resistance performance of each hull form is compared. The experiments are carried out in ship model basin, and the numerical simulations are performed by a finite-difference method, based on the Marker and Cell scheme. Euler and continuity equationsare used for the governing equations of the flaw field around a trimaran with transom stern. The agreement of both results is good. The optimal bottom profiles for transom stern are presented for law-speed and high-speed regions, respectively.

A comprehensive simulation model for the transport process of fully coupled moisture and multi-species in non-saturated concrete structures is proposed. The governing equations of moisture and ion diffusion are formulated based on Fick's law and the Nernst-Planck equation, respectively. The governing equations are modified by explicitly including the coupling terms corresponding to the coupled mechanisms. The ionic interaction-induced electrostatic potential is described by electroneutrality condition. The model takes into account the two-way coupled effect of moisture diffusion and ion transport in concrete. The coupling parameters are evaluated based on the available experimental data and incorporated in the governing equations. Differing from previous researches, the material parameters related to moisture diffusion and ion transport in concrete are considered not to be constant numbers and characterized by the material models that account for the concrete mix design parameters and age of concrete. Then, the material models are included in the numerical analysis and the governing equations are solved by using finite element method. The numerical results obtained from the present model agree very well with available test data. Thus, the model can predict satisfactorily the ingress of deicing salts into non-saturated concrete.

This paper investigates the constant-level luffing and time optimal control of jib cranes. The constant-level luffing, which is the sustainment of the load at a constant height during luffing, is achieved by analyzing the kinematic relationship between the angular displacement of a boom and that of the main hoist motor of a jib crane. Under the assumption that the main body of the crane does not rotate, the equations of motion of the boom are derived using Newton's Second Law. The dynamic equations for the crane system are highly nonlinear; therefore, they are linearized under the small angular motion of the load to apply linear control theory. This paper investigates the time optimal control from the perspective of no-sway at a target point. A stepped velocity pattern is used to design the moving path of the jib crane. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the time optimal control, in terms of anti-sway motion of the load, while luffing the crane.

The multivariate statistical analysis, using the multiple linear regression(MLR), have been applied to analyze and predict the flash points of binary systems. Prediction for the flash points of flammable substances is important for the examination of the fire and explosion hazards in the chemical process design. In this paper, the flash points are predicted by MLR based on the physical properties of pure substances and the experimental flash points data. The results of regression and prediction by MLR are compared with the values calculated by Raoult's law and Van Laar equation.

Purpose: This study is a case study of a small-mid sized hospital to promote a full-scale remodeling to ensure the quality and competitiveness of the medical services and trying to arrange the remodeling characteristics of small-mid sized hospital which is suffering from aging facilities as well as chronic congestion and lack of spaces. Methods: Research was conducted by consultation with hospital executives and each department operators, and on-site investigation, Results: The result of this study can be summarized into two points. The first one is that existing statistical value like area per bed, in the remodeling of the small-mid hospitals may not mean much. planners have to verify the necessary room space areas in close consultation with the department operators. And after confirming layout possibilities, they have to create the program. The second one is that remodeling planning can be a realistic plan with structural and installation diagnosis at the same time. If so, it is advisable to proceed architectural design from the beginning for cost and time savings. Implications: This results can be applied to small-mid hospitals to apply to the medical law revision and others.

In this paper, a digital current mode control is designed for the power converter applications. The designed digital current mode controller is derived analytically from the continuous time small signal model of the power converters. Due to the small signal model based derivations of the control law, the designed control method can be applicable to boost, buck, and buck-boost converters. It is also proven that the controlled power converter employing the designed digital current mode controller is always stable regardless of an operating conditions. In order to show the usefulness of a designed controller, experiments are carried out using a 16bit DSP micro-processor, TMS320LF2406A.

We want to find a timestamping method which improves efficient performance and have high-level security to send secured messages in the digital signature and the law of e-commerces. Our paper shows a H-binary tree of time stamp to use a time stamp protocol with high suity and performance in the packets of sending messages. We implement and analyze the protocols, show to compare with previous RSA methods. Our proposed protocol has O(log n) time complexity and high-performance.

This paper presents the surface flashover characteristics to simulate the poor contact between an anode and a solid dielectric in a $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas (8/2) under a non-uniform field. The surface flashover voltage of the $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas revealed the irregular tendency that was not in accordance with the Paschen's law with an increasing gap of the poor contact. In addition, the insulation performance of the $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas at 0.6MPa was comparable to that of $SF_6$ gas of 0.1MPa based on the insulation performance on the poor contact. These results are able to apply the insulation design of eco-friendly gas insulation switchgear considering the internal faults.

In this paper, authors described on localization development's results about an electric igniter in thermal battery with a pyrotechnic heat sources. Especially, the development test and evaluation(DT&E) process and the methods in the developments of the electric igniter which is parts of a domestic thermal battery on K-PSAM was in charge of government and developed for defense of a local areas in Korea. We have proposed a process of design and manufacture on the electric igniter.
