A double-end rod hydraulic cylinder is widely used with a steering valve for the steering control system in large tractors. For the development of automatic steering controller, the feasibility of using a proportional control valve replacing the conventional manual steering valve to control the position of hydraulic steering cylinder was investigated in terms of the max. overshoot, the steady-state error and the rise time. A simulation model for the electrohydraulic steering system with load using AMESim package was developed to be valid so that the proper control algorithm could be chosen through the computer simulation. It could be concluded that the P-control algorithm was sufficient to control the electrohydraulic steering system, where the control frequency should be no greater than 20 Hz at the P-gain of 5. In particular, the performance of the developed steering controller was satisfactory even at the conditions of varying flow rates and loads.

It is very important to evaluate the reliable nonlinear modulus characteristics of soils not only in the analysis of geotechnical structures under working stress conditions but also for the soil dynamic problems. For the evaluation of modulus characteristics of soils, various tests have been mostly employed in laboratory. However, different testing techniques are likely to have different ranges of reliable strain measurements, different applied stress level, and different loading frequencies, and the modulus of soils can be affected by these variables. For reliable evaluation, therefore, those effects on the modulus need to be considered, and measured values should be effectively adjusted to actual conditions where the soil is working. In this paper, to evaluate the modulus characteristics of soils, laboratory testing such as free-free resonant column (FF-RC), resonant column (RC), torsional shear (TS), static TX, and cyclic M/sub R/ tests were performed. The effects of strain amplitude, loading frequency, loading cycles, confining pressure, density, and water content on modulus were investigated. It is shown that the FF-RC test, which is simple and inexpensive testing technique, can provide a reliable estimation of small strain Young's modulus (E/sub max/), and the modulus evaluated by various laboratory tests are comparable to each other fairly well when the effects of these factors are properly taken into account.

PTCR(Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity) thermistor in thin film BaTiO$_{3}$ system was prepared by using radio frequency(13.56 MHz) and DC magnetron sputter equipment. Polycrystalline, surface structure, and R-T(Resistivity-Temperature) characteristics of the specimens were measured by X-ray diffraction(D-Max3, Rigaku, Japan), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy: M.JSM84 01, Japan), and insulation resistance measuring system (Keithley 719), respectively. Thin films characteristics of the thermistor showed different properties depending on the substrate even with the same sputtering condition. The thin film formed on the A1$_{2}$O$_{3}$ substrate showed a good crystalline and a low resistivity at below curie point. However, the thin films prepared on slide glass and Si wafer were amorphous. The thicknesses of the three samples prepared under the same process conditions were 700[.angs.], 637.75[.angs.], and 715[.angs.], respectively.

I show that when the observables (π_E, t_E, θ_E, π_s, µ_s) are well measured up to a discrete degeneracy in the microlensing parallax vector π_E, the relative likelihood of the different solutions can be written in closed form P_i = KH_iB_i, where H_i is the number of stars (potential lenses) having the mass and kinematics of the inferred parameters of solution i and B_i is an additional factor that is formally derived from the Jacobian of the transformation from Galactic to microlensing parameters. Here t_E is the Einstein timescale, θ_E is the angular Einstein radius, and (π_s, µ_s) are the (parallax, proper motion) of the microlensed source. The Jacobian term B_i constitutes an explicit evaluation of the "Rich Argument", i.e., that there is an extra geometric factor disfavoring large-parallax solutions in addition to the reduced frequency of lenses given by H_i. I also discuss how this analytic expression degrades in the presence of finite errors in the measured observables.

Together with the GPS-based approach, geo-location through mobile communication networks is a key technology for location-based service. To save the cost, most geo-location system is implemented on the existed network service, which has a cellular structure. Still, multilateration is limited in cellular structure because it is difficult for the mobile terminal to acquire distance measurements from multiple base stations. This low hearability in the receiver is caused by co-channel interference and multipath environment. Therefore, hearability enhancement is necessary for multilateration under multipath and interference environment. Former time domain based hearability methods were designed for real signals. However, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal, which its usage has been increased in digital wireless communication, is a complex signal. Thus, different hearability enhancement method is needed for OFDM signals. This paper proposes a hearability enhancement method for forward-link multilateration using OFDM signals, which employ interference cancellation and multipath mitigation. A novel interference cancellation and multipath mitigation strategy for complex-valued OFDM signals is presented that has an iterative structure. Simulation results show that the proposed multilateration method provides the user's position with an accuracy of less than 80m through the mobile WiMAX cellular network in multipath environment.

Two-tier femtocell networks, consisting of a conventional cellular network underlaid with femtocell hotspots, play an important role in the indoor coverage and capacity of cellular networks. However, the cross- and co-tier interference will cause an unacceptable quality of service (QoS) for users with universal frequency reuse. In this paper, we propose a novel downlink interference mitigation strategy for spectrum-shared two-tier femtocell networks. The proposed solution is composed of three parts. The first is femtocells clustering, which maximizes the distance between femtocells using the same slot resource to mitigate co-tier interference. The second is to assign macrocell users (MUEs) to clusters by max-min criterion, by which each MUE can avoid using the same resource as the nearest femtocell. The third is a novel adaptive power control scheme with femtocells downlink transmit power adjusted adaptively based on the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) level of neighboring users. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively increase the successful transmission ratio and ergodic capacity of femtocells, while guaranteeing QoS of the macrocell.

This study determined the acoustic target strength (TS; dB) of black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegeli off the southern coast of Korea. For the ex-situ measurements, 200 kHz split beam transducers were used, and a Kirchhoff-ray mode (KRM) model acoustic model was used for the calculation. The fork length and total weight of the black seabream ranged from 6.4 to 30.8 cm and 6.4 to 683.8 g. respectively 200 kHz, the TS could beexpressed as a function of fork length as: $TS_{max}=20log_{10}(FL)-60.35(R=0.92)$ and $TS_{avg.}=20log_{10}(FL)-66.89(R=0.88)$. These TS results for black seabream can be used for estimating the biomass of fish in acoustic surveys in coastal areas.

A compact ultra-wide band antenna with a quadruple band-notched characteristic is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a slotted trapezoid patch radiator, an inverted U-shaped band stop filter, a pair of C-shaped band stop filters, and a rectangular ground plane. To realize the quadruple notch-band characteristic, a U-shaped slot, a complementary split ring resonator, an inverted U-shaped band stop filter, and two C-shaped band stop filters are utilized in this antenna. The antenna satisfies the -10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth requirement in the frequency band of 2.88-12.67 GHz, with a band-rejection characteristic in the WiMAX (3.43-3.85 GHz), WLAN (5.26-6.01 GHz), X-band satellite communication (7.05-7.68 GHz), and ITU 8 GHz (8.08-8.87 GHz) signal bands. In addition, the proposed antenna has a compact volume of $30mm{\times}33.5mm{\times}0.8mm$ while maintaining omnidirectional patterns in the H-plane. The experimental and simulated results of the proposed antenna are shown to be in good agreement.

Using the Si/SiGe layer grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy(SSMBE) on the LOCOS-patterned wafers, an emitter-base self-aligned hterojunction biplar transistor(HBT) with the polysilicon-emitter and the silicon germanium(SiGe) base has been fabricated. Trech isolation process, planarization process using a chemical-mechanical poliching, and the selectively implanted collector(SIC) process were performed. A titanium disilicide (TiSi$_{2}$), as a base electrode, was used to reduce an extrinsic base resistance. To prevent the strain relaxation of the SiGe epitaxial layer, low temperature (820${^\circ}C$) annealing process was applied for the emitter-base junction formation and the dopant activation in the arsenic-implanted polysilicon. For the self-aligned Si/SiGe HBT of 0.9${\times}3.8{\mu}m^{2}$ emitter size, a cut-off requency (f$_{T}$) of 17GHz, a maximum oscillation frequency (f$_{max}$) of 10GHz, a current gian (h$_{FE}$) of 140, and an emitter-collector breakdown voltage (BV$_{CEO}$) of 3.2V have been typically achieved.
