This paper reviews the main drivers forcing change and progress in powertrains for passenger cars in the coming years. The environmental drivers of omissions and CO2 will force better technical performance, but customer demand for increased choice will force change in the basic engine design and provide opportunities for alternate configurations of powertrain. Gasoline engines will embody refinements of valve train actuations as well as developments in combustion, especially direct injection and possibly a lean booated form of direct injection. Nevertheless, the conventional, port injected engine will continue to be the dominant engine for some years to come. The high speed direct injection diesel will very soon supplant its indirect injection predecessor completely. It will take an increasing share of the total powertrain market as improved specific power and refinement make it even more attractive to the customer. Car manufacturers will provide diesel models to satisfy this customer demand as well as using the efficiency of the diesel to enable them to meet their fleet CO2 commitments. Both gasoline and diesel engines will see an increasing degree of electrification and partial hybridisation as efficient flywheel mounted electrical devices become available.

It is difficult for most of passenger cars to attach various types of suspensions. The modular experimental vehicle, which is designed to exchange suspension systems, has been developed to evaluate the effect of design changes of a suspension upon ride and handling characteristics of a vehicle. In order to enable the assemblage between modules, the experimental vehicle design is based on a space frame construction through finite element analysis. Moreover, module frames and brackets are designed using three-dimensional solid modeler to check the interference between each part of a vehicle. Steady-state and transient road tests were performed. Multibody dynamic model and simplified linear vehicle model are made to compare with the tests. The results of simulations and tests show the performance and validity of this experimental vehicle.

One of the most important issues in post-genome era is identifying functions of genes and understanding the interaction among them. Such interactions from complex biochemical pathways, which are very useful to understand the organism system. We present an integrated biochemical pathway database system with a set of software tools for reconstruction, visualization, and simulation of the pathways from the database. The novel features of the presented system include: (a) automatic integration of the heterogeneous biochemical pathway databases, (b) gene ontology for high quality of database in the integration and query (c) various biochemical simulations on the pathway database, (d) dynamic pathway reconstruction for the gene list or sequence data, (e) graphical tools which enable users to view the reconstructed pathways in a dynamic form, (f) importing/exporting SBML documents, a data exchange standard for systems biology.

In this paper we consider the well-known semiparametric proportional hazards (PH) models for survival analysis. These models are usually used with few covariates and many observations (subjects). But, for a typical setting of gene expression data from DNA microarray, we need to consider the case where the number of covariates p exceeds the number of samples n. For a given vector of response values which are times to event (death or censored times) and p gene expressions (covariates), we address the issue of how to reduce the dimension by selecting the significant genes. This approach enable us to estimate the survival curve when n < < p. In our approach, rather than fixing the number of selected genes, we will assign a prior distribution to this number. The approach creates additional flexibility by allowing the imposition of constraints, such as bounding the dimension via a prior, which in effect works as a penalty. To implement our methodology, we use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. We demonstrate the use of the methodology to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) complementary DNA(cDNA) data.

We developed a database system to enable efficient and high-throughput transposon analyses in rice. We grow large-scale mutant series of rice by taking advantage of an active MITE transposon mPing, and apply the transposon display method to them to study correlation between genotypes and phenotypes. But the analytical phase, in which we find mutation spots from waveform data called fragment profiles, involves several problems from a viewpoint of labor amount, data management, and reliability of the result. As a solution, our database system manages all the analytical data throughout the experiments, and provides several functions and well designed web interfaces to perform overall analyses reliably and efficiently.

Chlorination dosage in water treatment plant of field is determined by chlorination demand experiment through two or three hours after raw water was sampled in inflow. It is impossible to continuously control for real time because the sampled water is adapted chlorination dosage after water treatment process had been proceeded. Therefore in this study, we will design informal chlorination demand system, this designed system will be experimented as to water quality and accuracy of control in various conditions. Throughout these experimental results, we will revise the system and the revised system is enable to optimal control of chlorination dosage. Finally, we have developed chlorination demand system, which can automatically determination of chlorination dosage to be determined according to variety of raw water quality inflow in water treatment plant.

Terrain recognition ability is crucial to the performance of legged robots in an outdoor environment. For instance, a robot will not easily walk and it will tumble or deviate from its path if there is no information on whether the walking surface is flat, rugged, tough, and slippery. In this study, the ground surface recognition ability of robots is discussed, and to enable walking robots to recognize the surface state and changes, a central moment method was used. The values of the sensor signals (load cell) of robots while walking were detected in the supported section and were analyzed according to signal variance, skewness, and kurtosis. Based on the results of such analysis, the surface state was detected and classified.

SunPower's corporate mission is to reduce the installed cost of solar electricity 50% by 2012. As part of that mission, the company is continually exploring novel technologies that might enable progress towards the goal. This paper describes SunPower's efforts to decrease the levelized cost of electricity for solar power plants through the use of bifacial cell and system technology. The results of the first production run of SunPower bifacial cells and modules are presented. Future bifacial system development plans are reviewed.

Manufacturing condition is one of the most important factors in precision manufacturing. In this study, we optimized minimizing the Z vibration acceleration using RSM(response surface methodology) by table of orthogonal array. RSM was well adapted to make the analytical model of the minimum vibration acceleration and enable the objective function to be easily created and a great deal of the time in computation to be saved. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed optimization procedure using RSM can be easily utilized to solve the optimization problem of manufacture condition.

We diagnosis two patients who have severe vertigo and gait inbalance as ‘dizziness due to retention of phlegm’ (痰暈) and gave Zexie-tang(澤瀉湯). They improved enable to walk balance and no more vetigo. Therefore we could assume that Ku-ren-xuan-mao(苦人眩冒) which is the main symptom of Zexie-tang means the vertigo and gait imbalance due to vestibular disorder.
