This paper proposes a new position detection method for train speed control using the PDOA(Phase Difference of Arrival). This method aims to apply to AGT(Automated Guide way Transit) systems, operated with driverless. So it is absolutely required to range, calculate and decide a train position precisely. This system consists of VRS (Vehicle Radio Set) and WRS(Wayside Radio Set). The VRS transmits a wireless signal to the WRS, the controller calculate a straight line with the PDOA. Next step calculate an exact position using track DB. This paper includes the concept, configuration, analysis and results of this method.

It is discussed how to determine the home location of idle vehicles in an AGVS with a loop guide path in a way of maximizing the request-call response probabilities for all demand. Optimal home position is selected by solving the simultaneous equations easily. Static positioning strategy is analyzed in which a single home position is allocated to which every vehicle is routed whenever it becomes idle. The cases of unidirectional guidepath is considered only. We provide a numerical example to illustrate the search algorithm developed for the case and compare the searched optimal solutions with the others.

This paper describes the design guide and its assessment process to be applied to the launcher vehicle exterior design. A launcher vehicle design is required to meet three kinds of design attributes; symbolic quality, usability, and aesthetic quality. The launcher vehicles referred to in this paper are assessed by the elements in the guidelines. A set of assessment process and methods is derived to evaluate how well the three design attributes are applied in the actual launch vehicle design. An example of assessment is shown at the last part of this paper. By this way designers can take various criteria into account integratively and select the final design. High design satisfaction and pride of the operators and the nation can be assured in the end.

This paper proposes a new position detection method for train speed control using the Phase Difference of Arriving. This method aims to apply to Automated Guide-way Transit systems, to be operated without driver. So it is absolutely required to range, calculate and decide a train position precisely. This system consists of Vehicle Radio Set(VRS) and Wayside Radio Set(WRS). The VRS transmits a wireless signal to the WRS and the controller calculate a straight line and curve line with Phase Difference of Arriving(PDOA) and an exact position using track date-base is calculated at next step.

Dental treatment under general anesthesia is considered a good way for behavioral control in disabled patients. General anesthesia for disabled patients sometimes requires difficult airway management. In this case, intra-oral camera is great helpful to intubation. Originally, the intra-oral camera is designed to facilitate diagnosis dental disease. The intra-oral camera is very efficient on intubation. Laryngeal photo taken by Intra-oral camera can be good guide for difficult intubation. In this report, an 11-year-old boy with chromosomal anomaly received dental care under general anesthesia. And he had a potentially difficult airway. We achieved nasotracheal intubation successfully with intra-oral camera.

Gantry mechanisms have been widely used for precision manufacturing and material handling in electronics, nuclear, and automotive industries. Dual-drive servo mechanism is a way to increase control bandwidth, in which two primary axes aligned in parallel are synchronously driven by identical servo motors. With this mechanism, a flexible coupling (compliance mechanism) is often introduced in order to avoid the damage by the servo mismatch between the primary drives located at each side of gantry. This paper describes the design guidelines of the dual-drive servo mechanism with focus on its dynamic characteristics and control ramifications. That is, the effect on the system bandwidth which is critical on the system performance, the errors and torques exerted on guide ways in case of servo mismatch, the vibration characteristics concerned with dynamic error and settling time, and the driving force required at each axis for control are thoroughly investigated.

Recently, researches on precision machining of nato-order, especially in the field of optical components and semi-conductors have been under development very actively. A accuracy of machining and positioning in a critical issue in ultra-precision machining. This paper proposes a new positioning system which can give excellent dynamic characteristics and reduce errors in horizontal, vertical, pitching, and yawing motions. In this paper, we suggest a connecting mechanism (the couplings) to reduce motion errors such as chatter and runout while preserving the positioning accuracy. We verified the good performance in the new connecting systems with various coupling types, which we classified into the fixed type, the spring type, the aeroctatic-nozzle type, and the aeroctatic-porous type according to the way of reducing the chatter and error.

Micro/meso cutting is getting more important in the fields of precision machining technology. A micro-turning lathe is one of parts to consist the Micro Factory. It accepts stepwise motion actuators that are used for feeding system instead of the conventional mechanism. It is consisted of two Piezoelectric ceramics; one is for feeding the slider, and the other is for clamping the slider in the guide way of the body. The linearity and positional accuracy of the actuators are good enough for high precision motion. The spindle unit is operated with DC motor on the top of the slider. The motion is communicated with miniaturized linear encoder attached on each side of axis. A mono crystal diamond tool is used for cutting tool. This micro-lathe has been made a machining experiment to see the characteristics of micro-machining.

In this paper, a new type of inchworm motion actuator is introduced. This is consisted of two piezoelectric ceramics; one is for moving the slider, and the other is for clamping the slider in the guide way of the body. The linearity and positional accuracy of the system is good enough for the high precision motion. Since the system is more compact than the conventional system using three piezoelectric ceramics, it is applicable fur the micro-machine or MEMS. However, the effort for reducing the vibration, velocity discrepancy in the motion direction, and compensating the hysteresis behavior is additionally needed.
