EPS (Electric Power Steering) is important device for improving vehicle's dynamics and static performances. This paper deals with simulator design for C-EPS (Colum type-EPS), development assist and returnability control algorithm. First, C-EPS system model was simply designed because EPS system is complex control system that has many unknown variables. These parameters were simplified through assumptions. Second, C-EPS simulator was designed for development of control algorithm. This simulator has SAS (Steering Angle Sensor), dual torque sensor, dual load cell for measuring rack force, dual linear actuator for generating tire force and Data Acquisition System. Using this simulator, control methods ware tested. Third, control algorithm was designed for torque assist and returnability. Assist torque map and returnability torque map were found by lots of simulation test. These torque maps were tuned for EPS actuator control. The simulation result was compared with non-EPS system result. In this research, the C-EPS simulator was designed for development of control algorithm about torque assistant and returnability. Using this simulator, control algorithm was improved.

A new column type electric power steering system (EPS-TT) is proposed in this study. The remarkable features of EPS-TT are its opto-isolated torque sensor and assist torque control methodology. EPS-TT uses a uni-directional motor and two clutches. Full order and simplified models for EPS-TT are developed to evaluate the EPS-TT. A full car model is also used to investigate the vehicle responses. A PID control logic is designed to control the torque of the assist motor. Various sinusoidal inputs are applied to the system and the resulting performances are analyzed. The results prove that the performances achieved by the EPS-TT are improved compared to those of a conventional EPS-TT across the frequency domain. In addition, it is inexpensive and easy to control the motor. The results of the full order steering system model are similar to those simplified model, but the vehicle responses are slightly different.

The effects of packaging conditions on freshness extension of squash (Cucurbita moscata) were investigated during 7-day storage at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Weight loss of squash packed with corrugated paperboard box (control) was 5.5%, and those of LDPE (low density polyethylene, Ф0.02 mm), LDPE (Ф0.04mm) film and EPS (expanded polystyrene) box were 0.9%, 0.8%, and 1.1%, respectively. Firmness of EPS was 11% higher than that of control, chlorophill content of squash packed with EPS box was 18.9% higher, and total ascorbic acid content of squash packed with EPS box was 29.4% higher than that of control. Quality of packed squash was not different between EPS packages and LDPE packages. Decay of control was 1~2 pieces per box, but was not found in the LDPE, EPS box. Preferences in overall appearences of LDPE, EPS box was better than those of control.

EPS(Expanded Polystyrene) has been used in a variety of applications as a solution of difficult soil conditions encountered in construction activities. Although there has been significant worldwide growth in the use of EPS as a lightweight fill material, it has a few failure cases before and after the construction. This paper described the observed failures of EPS structures up In date around the world. Also, method of quality control was proposed for site monitoring.

Electric Power Steering (EPS) mechanism has become widely equipped in passenger vehicle due to the increasing environmental concerns and higher fuel efficiency. This paper describes the development of concurrent simulation technique and simulation integration technique of EPS control system with a dynamic vehicle system. A full vehicle model interacting with EPS control algorithm was concurrently simulated on a single bump road condition. The dynamic responses of vehicle chassis and steering system resulting from road surface impact were evaluated and compared with proving ground experimental data. The comparisons show reasonable agreement on tie-rod load, rack displacement, steering wheel torque and tire center acceleration. This concurrent simulation capability was employed fur EPS performance evaluation and calibration as well as for vehicle handling performance integration and synthesis.

Anti-diabetic effect of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced from submerged mycelial culture of Cordyceps sinensis (Cs) was studiedin a type II diabetic animal model (C57BL/6J ob/ob). This study was designed to determine whether Cs-EPS improves clinical symptoms of type II diabetes in ob/ob mice. After Cs-EPS treatment at doses of 200 mg/kg body weight, the fasting blood glucose levels decreased by 47% after 7 weeks compared with those of the control mice. According to the oral glucose tolerance test, the glucose levels recovered its baseline after 120 min in Cs-EPS-treated mice, although the blood glucose levels increased significantly after 30 min. On the other hand, the control group (not-treated) did not recovered its initial level of glucose after 120 min. Furthermore, food intake, body weight, total plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in ob/ob mice treated with Cs-EPS were significantly decreased, compared with those in control ob/ob mice. Cs-EPS treatment increased significantly the plasma insulin level and the expression of leptin mRNA in adipose tissue of Cs-EPS-treated ob/ob mice. From these results, it is demonstrated that Cs-EPS could be effective for regulating normal blood glucose levels by increasing the amounts of plasma insulin and leptin expression in ob/ob mice, indicating that this compound could be a candidate material as a dietary supplement to control hyperglycemia in patients suffering from type II diabetes.

EPS(Electric Power Steering) systems have many advantages over traditional hydraulic power steering systems in space efficiency engine efficiency and environmental compatibility. In this paper an EPS system control logic using a torque map is proposed. The main function of the EPS system is to reduce the steering torque exerted by a driver by assist of an electric motor. Vehcile speed steering torque and steering wheel angle are measured and fed back to the EPS control system where appropriate assist torque is generated to assist the operator's steering effort. Another capability of the EPS system for easy adaptation to different steering feels via simple tuning is demonstrated by the experiments. It will be also verified that the EPS system can also improve damping and return performance of the steering wheel by control of the assist motor.
