Many researchers have developed the measurement technique of in-cylinder flow characteristics and found the effect of intake port geometries on engine performance. The flow characteristics of four-valve cylinder head were examined in a steady flow rig for different intake ports. Tumble intensity of intake configurations with different entry angles were quantified with a tumble meter. The velocity and angular momentum distributions in the tumble adaptor were measured under steady conditions with PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry). We have obtained the results that flow structure becomes complicated by valve interference at low valve lift. As the valve interferences were reducing and the flow pattern changed to large vortex structure with tumble direction, intake ports with different entry angles have different tumble centers. Tumble eccentricity of intake port with low entry angle was large, so that the port had relatively much angular momentum compared to others which was expected to improve combustion performance.

An Experiment was carried out to study burr minimization in drilling on the inclined exit surface. Several different drills, exit surface angles and cutting conditions were selected to determine their influences on burr formation. In drilling operation, there are not only flat exit surfaces but also inclined exit surfaces which is described as inclination angle. Inclination of exit surface causes a quiet different burr formation when comparing with flat surface. Burr formation mechanisms are analyzed according to the drill geometries and cutting conditions. Several schemes for burr minimization on inclined exit surface were proposed. Burr geometry in each drill and cutting condition are measured by laser measurement system.

The purpose of this paper is to study on the control of a self-activated cable spooling system for towed away handling winch using a hydraulic servo driving unit and a cable position measurement mechanism. To design a controller of the cable spooling system, it is carried out the analysis of the hydraulic servo system and derived the relationship of a parameters through the control theory. Also, it is derived from the control specfications using settling rotation angle and spooling safety ratio proposed to the analysis for the behavior of the system. The cable spooling system is tested and evaluated to validate the performance of the controller.

There are four flexor muscles at elbow-biceps brachii, brachialis, brachioradialis, pronator teres. Muscle exertion force depends on the following conditions : elbow angle, external workload, and endurance time. The objectives of this study are to investigate the variations of the recruitment patterns of four muscles, and to analyze the changes of the role assigned to each muscle during elbow flexion. For three elbow angles, the transition point of type F motor unit of each muscle is inferred and the changes of the role assigned due to exertion level are identified by electromyographic analysis. The results showed that the recruitment pattern of biceps brachii is constant but those of other muscles are varied depending on elbow angle and exertion level. An EMG multiplexor is developed and simultaneous measurement of electromyographic signals of four elbow flexors is possible.

The production of metal strip with uniform thickness and flatness are two important problems associated thin strip rolling. The thickness and flatness of strip are affected by the flattening of contact surface between strip and roll, the elastic recovery and the bending of roll. Especially, the flatness of the strip is greatly affected by bending deflection of roll. The roll must be designed considered the elastic deformation of roll. This study describes the measurement of thickness and flatness of strip and shows the crown roll for producing flat strip. But it is difficult to produce the crown roller. The cross rolling that is a simple method which can produce the flat strip is introduced and it is found the optimal cross angle for improvement of flatness of plate. These problems are solved by the MARC code on the basis of elastic-plastic material and the updated Lagrangian formulation.

To clarify the structure of a diesel spray, a transient non-evaporating diesel spray injected under different ambient pressure and different injection pressure was studied. Spray tip penet- ration and spray angle were measured by taking the high speed shadowgraph of spray and Sauter mean Diameter(SMD) was also measured by light scattering technique at different positions along the spray axis and at different time from the start of injection. The effects of the operating parameters on the spray shape and SMD were investigated. By increasing the injection pressure, the spray tip penetration and the spray angle increased and the change of the ambient pressure also resulted in the considerable change in the shape of the spray. The analysis of SMD measurement showed that the atomization is a process that continues in sp- ace and time. As the injection pressure increases SMD decreases rapidly and with the increa- se of the ambient pressure the atomization process ends faster than the lower ambient press- ure and at lower pressure the atomization process continues to much farther downstream and far afterward.

Buck power factor correction (PFC) converters, compared with conventional boost PFC converters, exhibit high efficiency performance in the entire range of universal line voltage. This feature has gotten more attention for eliminating the zero crossing dead angle of buck PFC rectifiers. Furthermore, bridgeless structures for the reduction of conduction losses have been proposed. The aim of this paper is to introduce a single-phase buck rectifier that simultaneously has unity power factor (PF) and bridgeless structure while operating in the continuous conduction mode (CCM). For this purpose, two auxiliary flyback converters without any active switches are applied to a bridgeless buck rectifier to eliminate the zero crossing dead angle and achieve unity power factor, low total harmonic distortion (THD) and high efficiency. The operation and design considerations of the proposed rectifier are verified on a 150W, 48V prototype using a conventional peak-current-mode control. The measurement results show that the proposed rectifier has nearly unity power factor, THD less than 7% and high efficiency.

In this paper, we describes PID-neural network controller for the rotary inverted pendulum. PID control is applied to many fields but has some problems in nonlinear system due to a variation of parameter. So, we should desing the controller which is adjusted PI parameters by the neural network which is learned by backpropagation algorithm. And we show that on-line control is possible through the PID-neural network controller. The angle of the pendulum is controlled and then the position of the rotating arm is also controlled to maintain with in the set point. Measurement of the pendulum angle is obtained using a potentionmeter. The objective of the experiment is to design a PID-neural network control system that positions the arm as well as maintains the ivnerted pendulum vertical. Finally, we describe the actual experiment system and confirm the experimental results.

In this study, spray characteristics of the pressure swirl atomizer have teen investigated. Four atomizers with the different orifice diameter and five tangential ports with the different inlet number were fabricated. For the purpose of the measurement of the mean drop sine, Malvern particle sizer was used. And also discharge coefficient was measured and spray cone angle was measured by using shadow graphy method. As a result when the injection pressure was increased, mean drop size was decreased. And the dominant factor which influence on the spray characteristics of pressure swirl atomizer was orifice diameter.

This paper presents the spray characteristics of the gun type burner nozzle with bio-diesel blending rate. The burner nozzle used in this experiment is a pressure swirl type nozzle. For the spray characteristics, visualization of spray was conducted to obtain the spray angle, and laser diffraction spectroscope (LDS) was used for the measurement of the droplet diameters. The results showed that the $D_{max}$, SMD and spray angle were decreased with increasing the bio-diesel blending rate and BD30 (30% bio-diesel blending rate) could be found to be the maximum blending rate for using without any modification of the gun type burner of the homesize kerosene fuel boiler.
