The optimum design parameters of several hydraulic systems are obtained using the complex method that is one kind of constrained direct search method. First, the parameters of lead-lag controller of the direct drive servovalve is designed using the complex method to satisfy the steady-state error requirement. Second, the optimum locating point of hydraulic cylinder Is determined to minimize the cylinder force in the operation range of rotational sluice gate. For the third application case, the optimum piston area of hydraulic cylinder is determined to minimize the man power to elevate the manually operated sluice gate.

The wireless sensor network (WSN) based on ad hoc network is applied to vehicle parking guide system without parking guide man at area or building with large scale of parking lots. The optimum number of cluster heads was derived for getting the minimum power consumption as well as time delay. Through the theoretical analysis of power consumption and time delay with the number of cluster heads in wireless sensor network, it was found that there exists the minimum point in the variation of power consumption and time delay according to the number of cluster heads.

In a conventional system, hydraulic unit pumps out pressurized oil when the power use is not even necessary. As a result, it causes much power loss. This study is on the proposal of new hydraulic unit which controls the revolution of the pump in order to produce proper power needed and to have good response characteristic. In addition, the existing control methods such as PID control method, fuzzy control method, and adaptive control method are applied to the proposed hydraulic unit. Then the best control method is selected and the controller is developed to realize minimum power loss.

In this paper, we describe a Control Element Drive Mechanism(CEDM) operation test using a Power Controller. By testing, we can catch the mechanical and electrical characteristics of CEDM and obtain the information about the improvement of CEDM and the design of CEDM power cabinet. The power controller for CEDM introduced in this paper can input firing angles directly into gate drive circuits of thyristors so that this method can be used to derive the maximum and minimum values of firing angles within available limits for a 3-phase half-wave rectifier. Angle inputs help us understand each coil's response characteristics. Since this power controller generates a serial sequence for CEDM insertion and withdrawal operations, we may judge whether CEDM works correctly as expected or not in each phase of a step movement.

In the present study, an attempt is presented to define the power spectrum of the saccades recorded in man by using bitemporal EOG. In this study, it was found that the estimated bandwidth of the spectrum of the saccades decreases for increasing saccade amplitude. This study could show a reference value about the minimum bandwidth needed to correctly measure even small saccades by bitemporal EOG. It also showed that EOG method is not appropriate to measure microsaccade.

This paper introduces the additional remote monitoring and remote setting functions needed to operate the distribution automation system effectively. we compare the additional functions with the old functions. The remote setting of minimum trip value of fault indicator is an example of additional function. It saves time and line-man's power. Also this paper describes the data transmission flow diagram for operation of distribution automation system using wireless communication method.

This paper discusses the ZVS/ ZVZCS Three-Level converter using the minimum auxiliary circuit. A primary auxiliary circuit, which consists of one coupled inductor is added in the primary circuit to provide ZVZCS conditions to primary switches. ZVS is for outer switches and ZCS or ZVS is for inner switches. Many advantages including simple circuit topology high efficiency, and low cost make this converter attractive for high power applications. The principle of operation, feature and design considerations arc illustrated and verified through the experiment with a 2kHz 400kHz IGBT based experimental circuit.

This paper presents a method of finding the optimal capacity of renewable energy in power system to prepare Kyoto-protocol. In order to determine the capacity of renewable energy, this paper finds a amount of CO2 emission and capacity of power reduction for each energy type. The proposed method performs economic dispatch including the existing facilities, renewable energy and Emission trading, and finds optimal capacity of renewable energy Power satisfying minimum total cost. Finally, the proposed idea is demonstrated with a case study.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the availability of acoustic emission method to the internal leak of the valves at nuclear power plants. The acoustic emission method was applied to the valves at the site, and the background noise was measured for the abnormal plant condition. From the comparison of the background noise data with the experimental results as to relation between leak flow and acoustic signal, the minimum leak flow rates that can be detected by acoustic signal was suggested. When the background levels are higher than the acoustic signal, the method described below was considered that the analysis the remainder among the background noise frequency spectrum and the acoustic signal spectrum become a very useful leak detection method. A few experimental examples of the spectrum analysis that varied the background noise characteristic were given.

In order primarily to establish the working stages in the reclamation works and to- analyze the working characteristics of man-power, the investigations for construction_ works were conducted on Echeon Largescale Reclamation Project Area. The results are summarized as follows; 1. The working chart on reclamation by man-power is Fig.IV-1. 2. The. ratio of actual working time to total varied with the total times, being 1.0 for less than 4 hours but about 0.9-0.83 for more than 5 hours. 3. Felling operations can be classified into three stages as truck-cutting, branch- cutting, and binding-up, of which results are in Table IV-2. The larger the diameter of stands, the more times for both the cutting operations are, but the moving time is constant to be about 15 sec. 4. Stumping and clearing works have the results prepared in Table IV-3. Between the stumping time and the diameter of stands d, there show highly significant positive correlations, expressed as t=2.212d -4.792. The more the ratio of small diameters to total, the more hastily the total hourly working results of each person are increased. 5. Working results for constructing drainage facilities and ridges are in Table IV-5. The labours for placing patches of grass are required more than twice or three times as much as those are showed in the established standards, and such the different results imply more investigation to be necessary. 6. Table IV-6 sholvs the results for plowing andh arrowing, that are less amount thant the standards. Therefore, more inverestigation should be prepared.
