This paper presents the effects of a virtual mass with a low-pass filter on stability boundaries of a virtual spring in the haptic system with first-order hold. A virtual mass is required to improve the realism of a virtual environment. However the second derivative of a displacement of a haptic device is needed while the inertia forces are computed, which causes the reflective force to change quickly and then makes the haptic system unstable. A low pass filter is added to resolve this problem and the stability region of a haptic system depends on the characteristics of the filter. In this paper the finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is applied as one of low pass filters and the effect of the FIR filter on the stable region of a haptic system with first order hold is analyzed. When compared to stable region of the system without the FIR filter, the region of available virtual mass is increased by 20% and the maximum of the stable virtual spring is reduced by 32%, irrespective of the sampling time. Besides it is shown that the stable region of a virtual spring is proportional to the inverse square of the sampling period.

Gamma-ray must be detected and processed immedietely after generation of it in the circumstances where it exists. Software methology may be used to process randomly generated signals, but its memory size and processing time become large. By the way, the hardware circuit to detect randomly generated signals is generalized in industrial site, while those circuits are not able to answer to the cases whose amplitude are very small and also speed high. We researched and developed hardware based peak-hold circuit that is able to detect peaks of gamma-ray signals through direct reading out their values by ADC at the time of maximum reaching for the small amplitude and high speed signals, and proposed and estimated its results in this paper. This peak-hold circuit is adequate to use in the radiation circumstances in which the gamma-rays are heavy because its circuit can catch high speed signals efficiently without software signal processing supports.

A virtual rigid is modeled as the parallel structure of a virtual spring and a virtual damper. The reflective force from the virtual model is designed to be as large as possible to improve the realism of the virtual environment while maintaining the stable interaction. So, it is important to analyze the stability boundary of the virtual spring and damper. In the previous researches, the stability boundary is analyzed based on the zero-order-hold (ZOH) method, but it is analyzed based on the first-order-hold (FOH) method and the virtual damper in the paper. The boundary value of the stable virtual damper is inverse proportional to the sampling time and the maximum value of stable virtual stiffness is inverse proportional to the square of the sampling time. And the maximum value in the FOH method is increased to 110% of the value in the ZOH method. If the virtual damper is smaller than about 50% of the boundary value of the virtual damper in the FOH method, the stable virtual stiffness in the FOH method is several times larger than that in the ZOH method.

In this paper, we propose an efficient methodology to fix timing violation in ECO step for ASIC process. Timing violation can occur from various reasons and the major cause is inconsistent correlation between EDA tools. The most frequent violation is setup time and hold time violation. First, we analyzed the reason of violation creation, and then proposed the adjusting method for overcome them. Each violation can be fixed by increasing data required time or decreasing data arrival time. We proposed the detailed technique on a case basis. It is difficult to execute these methods by routine of algorithm or principle. Therefore ASIC engineer needs to apply these technique to violation as conditions of the implemented design.

Thermoplastic resin takes place stress relaxation and creep according to temperature and time. In room temperature, time dependent deformation (TDD) of polymer was carried out at previous study. In this study, it evaluates time dependent deformation to relate temperature. Nanoscale indents can be used as cells for molecular electronics and drug delivery, slots for integration into nanodevices, and defects for tailoring the structure and properties. Therefore, it is important to control pattern depth for change of indent depth by creep when using Nanoindenter. For evaluating TDD at high temperature, it is occurred thermal-nanoindentation test by changing hold time at maximum load. Temperature is putted at $90^{\circ}C$, hold time at maximum loads are putted at 1, 10, 50, 100, 200, 300 and 500s.

The use of internal-model-based linear controller, such as resonant controller, is a well-established technique for the current control of grid-connected systems. Attractive properties for resonant controllers include their two-sequence tracking ability, the simple control structure, and the reduced computational burden. However, in the case of continuous-designed resonant controller, the transient performance is inevitably degraded at a low switching frequency. Moreover, available design methods for resonant controller is not able to realize the direct design of transient performances, and the anticipated transient performance is mainly achieved through trial and error. To address these problems, the zero-order-hold (ZOH) characteristic and inherent time delay in digital control systems are considered comprehensively in the design, and a corresponding hold-equivalent discrete model of the grid-connected converter is then established. The relationship between the placement of closed-loop poles and the corresponding transient performance is comprehensively investigated to realize the direct mapping relationship between the control gain and the transient response time. For the benefit of automatic tuning and real-time adaption, analytical expressions for controller gains are derived in detail using the required transient response time and system parameters. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

Purpose: To observe the effectiveness of the practical instruction sheet and the educational video for left-sided breast treatment in a patient receiving deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) technique. Two parameters, simulation time and patient satisfaction, were assessed through the questionnaire. Methods: Two different approaches, which were the instruction sheet and educational video, were combinedly used to assist patients during DIBH procedures. The guideline was assigned at least 1 week before the simulation date. On the simulation day, patients would fill the questionnaire regarding their satisfaction with the DIBH instruction. The questionnaire was categorized into five levels: extremely satisfied to dissatisfied, sequentially. The patients were divided into four groups: not DIBH technique, DIBH without instruction materials, the DIBH with instruction sheet or educational video, and DIBH with both of instruction sheet and educational video. Results: Total number of 112 cases of left-sided breast cancer were analyzed. The simulation time during DIBH procedure significantly reduced when patients followed the instruction. There was no significant difference in simulation time on the DIBH procedures between patient compliance via instruction sheet or educational video or even following both of them. The excellent level was found at 4.6 ± 0.1 and 4.5 ± 0.1, for patients coaching via instruction sheet as well as on the educational video, respectively. Conclusion: Patient coaching before simulation could potentially reduce the lengthy time in the simulation process for DIBH technique. Practicing the DIBH technique before treatment is strongly advised.

The results of control law design for a tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle that has a nacelle mounted wing extension (WE) are presented in this paper. It consists of a control surface mixer, stability and control augmentation system (SCAS), hold mode for altitude / speed / heading, and a guidance mode for preprogram and point navigation which includes automatic take-off and landing. The conversion corridor and the control moments derivatives between the original tilt-rotor and its variant of the nacelle mounted WE were compared to show the effectiveness of the WE. The nacelle conversion of the original tilt-rotor starts when the airspeed is greater than 30 km/h but its WE variant starts at 0 km/h in order to reduce the drag caused by the high incidence angle of the WE. The stability margins of the inner loop are presented with the optimization approach. The outer loops for the hold mode are designed with trial and error methods with linear and nonlinear simulation. The main control parameter for altitude control of the helicopter mode is thrust command and it is transferred to the pitch attitude command in airplane mode. Otherwise, the control parameter for the speed of the helicopter mode is the pitch attitude command and it is transferred to the thrust command in airplane mode. Therefore the speed and altitude hold mode are coupled to each other and are engaged at the same time when an internal pilot engages any of the altitude or speed hold modes. The nonlinear simulation results of the guidance control for the preprogrammed mode and point navigation are also presented including automatic take-off and landing in order to prove the full control law.
