This paper deals with an industrial application of a fuzzy feedback combined learning control to an industrial batch free radical polymerization reactor. As a result, the plant has reduced the batch reaction time by 50 minute and stabilized both by 40 percent reduction of the standard deviations of product qualities, such as the total solid content and the graft gum, and by 45 percent reduction of the standard deviation of the batch reaction end time.

Traditional statistical process control (SPC) applied to discrete part industry in the form of control charts can look for and eliminate assignable causes by process monitoring. On the other hand, engineering process control (EPC) applied to the process industry in the form of feedback control can maintain the process output on the target by continual adjustment of input variable. This study presents controlling and monitoring rules adopted by variable sampling interval (VSI) to change sampling intervals in a predetermined fashion on the predicted process levels under integrated EPC and SPC systems. Twelve rules classified by EPC schemes(MMSE, constrained PI, bounded or deadband adjustment policy) and type of sampling interval combined with EWMA chart of SPC are proposed under IMA (1,1) disturbance model and zero-order (responsive) dynamic system. Properties of twelve control rules under three patterns of process change (sudden shift, drift and random shift) are evaluated and discussed through simulation and control rules for integrated VSI EPC and SPC systems are recommended.

Machine switch type control panel is widely used for machine tools in Korea. They, however, have some difficulties in identifying the current operating status of machine tools especially when exposed to cutting oil. And also they have quality problems of operating failures. A new capacitor touch type machine control panel is developed and its reliability is predicted. MIL-HDBK-217F and Teclordia SR-332 are used for its reliability prediction and the prediction results are compared.

In this paper, a new variable structure controller (VSC) is presented. The presented VSC can be applicable to most mechatronic systems such as robotics. A VSC (or also called sliding mode control；SMC) algorithm is presented first, and next, a VSC with nonlinear integral control algorithms is presented. The algorithms use no linear approximation for the derivation of the control law or in the stability proof. It is shown that the robustness of the developed algorithms are guaranteed by the sliding mode control and that the algorithms are globally convergent.

EIA-709.1 Control Network Protocol is the basic protocol of LonWorks systems that is emerg-ing as a fieldbus device. In this paper the protocol is implemented by using VHDL with FPGA and C program on an Intel 8051 processor. The protocol from the physical layer to the network layer of EIA-709.1 is im-plemented in a hardware level,. So it decreases the load of the CPU for implementing the protocol. We verify the commercial feasibility of the hardware through the communication test with Neuron Chip. based on EIA-709.1 protocol which is used in industrial fields. The developed protocol based on FPGA becomes one of IP can be applicable to various industrial field because it is implemented by VHDL.

Recently, the importance of quality control on the online collaboration system is increasing, since it is realized that many participants do not guarantee the quality of online collaboration's output anymore. Hence in this paper, we propose the framework of quality control in order to assure the quality of output from online collaboration system. The proposed framework provides the solution strategies to overcome the challenges of current collaboration systems. To do that, first of all we define the basic process (create, initiate, discuss, complete) of the online collaboration system based on wiki-based system or open source project, and then we find the challenges in each online collaboration process, and propose the effective strategy to overcome these challenges with reference cases including Wikipedia, OSS project, etc.

Software linear and exponential acceleration/deceleration algorithms for control of machine axes of motion in industrial robots and CNC machine tools are proposed. Typical hardware systems used to accelerate and decelerate axes of motion are mathematically analyzed. Discrete-time state equations are derived from the mathematical analyses for the development of software acceleration/deceleration algorithms. Synchronous control method of multiple axes of motion in industrial robots and CNC machine tools is shown to be easily obtained on the basis of the proposed acceleration/deceleration algorithms. The path error analyses are carried out for the case where the software linear and exponential acceleration/deceleration algorithms are applied to a circular interpolator. A motion control system based on a floating point digital signal processor (DSP) TMS 320C30 is developed in order to implement the proposed algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that the developed algorithms and the motion control system are available for control of multiple axes and nonlinear motion composed of a combination of lines and circles which industrial robots and CNC machine tools require.

In footwear manufacturing systems, the upper parts of the shoes are manually sewed on a sub-line while bottom parts are produced by machines such as injection and molding machines on a sub-line before these two parts are combined into complete shoes on a final assembly line. The manual operations for the upper parts lead to a large variability in processing times, resulting in higher work-in-process inventory. In most footwear industries, production lines have been controlled by MRP-based push systems. Some industries attempt to introduce Kanban-based pull systems. This paper identifies the characteristics of the footwear manufacturing processes, and discusses the problems of the current control systems. As an operational alternative, a CONWIP-based control strategy is presented. Simulation experiments are performed to examine the performance of the control strategies.

This study presents the switching strategy between admission control and pricing control policies and clarifies the properties of the switching strategy in an M/M/1/K queueing system. In addition, this study demonstrates that employing the switching strategy can significantly improve the maximum total expected profit.

This paper is about the suggestion for the development in the commercialization for 3.6kW Class On-Board charger. It is suggesting non-insulation AC-DC Boost Power Factor correction circuit and insulation DC-DC resonant Converter for circuit design. In addition, Input AC voltage in the power supply is DCM control which can be designed to decrease the inductance for the inductor size to be reduced. DCM controls and Interleaved PFC can be designed to decrease the inductor size increasing the power conversions. Also, using the insulation DC-DC resonant converter, the efficiency can be increased. This system is verified using prototype hardware.
