본 논문에서는 표면 근전도(surface electromyogram : SEMG)와 근육모델링을 이용하여 신경근육 접합부(neuromuscular junction, NMJ)의 종판(end plate) 폭(widths)과 분포(distribution)에 따른 운동단위(motor unit, MU)수를 추정하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 MU-시뮬레이터(motor unit simulator)와 EPZ-시뮬레이터(end plate zone simulator)를 설계하고, 본 연구에서 제안된 방법과 기존방법들을 비교하였다. 제안된 MU-시뮬레이터로 시뮬레이션 된 SMUAP(single motor unit action potential : 단일운동단위활동전위)와 CMAP(compound muscle action potential : 복합근활동전위)은 검출된 근신호와 유사하였다. EPZ-시뮬레이터는 신경근육 접합부의 종판 폭과 분포를 바꾸어 가면서 운동단위수를 추정하기 위하여 설계하였다. 실험결과 운동단위 수는 약 450 개, 근섬유수 약 340 개, 종판 폭은 약 6 mm이고, 종판분포는 불규칙하게 분포된 것 (randomly distributed)으로 추정되었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법은 인간 근육의 생체조직검사로 측정한 운동단위의 수와 비교 가능한 결과가 나왔다.

Generally, the principle function of simulator control loading system is to provide the pilot or student with the "feel" of the actual aircraft flight control systems during flight, taxing, and in malfunction. Flight control "feel" is the resistance felt by the pilot when moving a control stick or pedal, coupled with the amount of control surface deflection, and hence aircraft response, resulting from the input. Therefore, the control loading servo must be capable of performing to some general list of requirements derived from real aircraft control forces. In this paper, we deal with a $\mu-controller$ design for a control loading system of the flight simulator. For this, we derive a frequency response of the hydraulic system from the identification data and then design a controller using a $\mu-synthesis$ method. Under the same condition of simulation, $\mu-controller$ provides the superior performance than PID controller.than PID controller.

In this study, we present a novel method for estimating the information of MU(motor unit) which is the basic element of human muscle by using surface EMG. Some of the method developed in this field could only estimate the numbers of MU that is activated. However, in our study the MU-simulator based on the line source model was designed to estimate the MU information including the numbers of MU and muscle fiber, conduction velocity, MU diameter, fiber diameter, and end plate position. The SMUAP(single motor unit action potential) detector was designed and CMAP(compound muscle action potential) by electrical stimulus was recorded. With these data, the MU-simulator can estimate the MU information by varying muscle paramater settings through MSE(mean square error) method. Our results shows that the proposed method can be comparable with the method of anatomical studies. Moreover, our system can be utilized to build a tool for diagnosis and treatment assessment of neuromuscular patients.

This paper describes the development of integrated simulator for traction power supply system with GUI (Graphic User Interface). This simulator consists of a lot of calculation modules such as TPS, time table, line constant, and power supply system analysis. Each module has input and output structure respectively. The proposed simulator is tested on both high speed railway line and metropolitan subway line. The test has confirmed the function of the developed simulator.

The wear of engine valve and seat insert is one of the most important factors which affect engine performance. Because of higher demands on performance and the increasing use of alternative fuel, engine valve and seat insert are challenged with greater wear problems than in the past. In order to solve the above problems, a simulator was developed to be able to generate and control high temperatures and various speeds during motion. The wear simulator is considered to be a valid simulation of the engine valve and seat insert wear process with various speeds during engine activity. This work focuses on the different degrees of wear at three different singular test speeds (10 Hz, 25 Hz & multi-Hz). For this study, the temperature of the outer surface of the seat insert was controlled at 350$^{\circ}C$, and the test load was 1960 N. The test cycle number was $6.0{\times}10^6$. The mean ($\pm$standard error) wear depth of the valve at 10 Hz and 25 Hz was 45.1 ($\pm$3.7)$\mu$m and 81.7 ($\pm$2.5)$\mu$m, respectively. The mean wear depth of the seat insert at 10 Hz and 25 Hz was 52.7 ($\pm$3.9)$\mu$m and 91.2 ($\pm$2.7)$\mu$m, respectively. In the case of multi-Hz it was 70.7 ($\pm$2.4)$\mu$m and 77.4 ($\pm$3.8)$\mu$m, respectively. It was found that higher speed (25 Hz) cause a greater degree of wear than lower speed (10 Hz) under identical test condition (temperature, valve displacement, cycle number and test load). In the wear mechanisms of valves, adhesive wear, shear strain and abrasive wear could be observed. Also, in the wear mechanisms of seat inserts, adhesive wear, surface fatigue wear and abrasive wear could be observed.

In this paper, the authors have implemented a blood flow simulator and a blood flowmeter probe using self-mixing effect of the laser diode. The purpose of the blood simulator is to simulate microvascular blood flow in tissue. It consists of melinex film (thickness = $125{\mu}m$) which has similar optical characteristics to epidermis and porous polyethylene filter (Vyon, porosity 35%, mean pore size $50{\mu}m$, thickness=1 mm) which has similar optical characteristics to dermis. The blood flowmeter probe consists of laser diode(5 mW, 780 nm wavelength), CD lens(focal lenght 12 mm), current-to-voltage converter, highpass filter, and preamplifier. It doesn't need optical fiber, therefore, implementation of the probe is simpler than conventional probe using optical fiber.

A full two-dimensional MOSFET simulator utilizing the Mixed Particle Monte Carlo method is introduced. Particle simulation for both electrons and holes are self-consistently coupled with Poisson 's equation. To demonstrate the performance of the simulator, steady state and transient state solutions of the terminal characteristics and the internal physical quantities are obtained for 0.25$\mu$m MOSFETs with three different structures` conventional single drain, LDD and GOLD MOSFET structures.

To improve the DIBL characteristics of deep sub micron BC PMOSFETs, the methods of DCI(Deep Channel Implantation) and Hale Implantation have been reported. In this study, using the process simulator TSUPREM4, we simulated the 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 0.45$\mu\textrm{m}$ gate length BC PMOSFETs applying the both methods to improve the DIBL characteristics, and their electric characteristics were compared to find the mothod suitable far deep sub-half micron BC PMOSFETs, using the device simulator MEDICI. So we found out that the method of Halo Implantation could be applied to deep sub-half micron BC PMOSFETs for 255 Mbit DRAM.
