Recently, many researches on a diagnosis of stator winding insulation of large generators are reported. They mostly utilize a trend analysis of Partial Discharge (PD). In this paper, a novel on-line monitoring system for an insulation diagnosis is proposed. This system obtains the parameters such as Maximum Partial Discharge Magnitude (QM), Normalized Quantity Number (NQN) and Dynamic Stagnation Voltage (DSV) by continuous on-line monitoring of winding insulation. It is capable of diagnosing the insulation condition by analyzing the trend of PD and utilizing the database built by the system.

The dynamic model of a tractor-trailer system developed in the first part of this paper was verified in this article by comparing the simulated acceleration responses of the system with actually measured ones. A commercially available tractor and a trailer were used for the verification test. Values of the model parameters were measured or theoretically derived if the measurement was practically impossible. The tractor-trailer system was operated with different forward speeds over three equally spaced half-sine bumps on the flat concrete surface. Results of the verification tests showed that autospectra of the measured and simulated accelerations of the tractor-trailer system agreed well up to the frequencies slightly feater than the fundamental frequencies of the ground excitations and at the frequencies of engine excitations. The mean of normalized errors of the simulated responses to the measured ones was estimated to be less than 10% for all the test runs. The peak responses in the autospectra also coincided well both in the frequency and magnitude.

The high-speed wind tunnel test of rocket model was performed to investigate the effect of skirt configuration on aerodynamic load characteristics of nozzle. Test parameters were the length and diffusing angle of skirt. Test results showed that the gimbals actuator power could be reduced to 1/10 of that without skirt. The normalized test result was proposed to be used as database for skirt design.

The deformational response of plastic board drains installed to accelerate consolidation of soft soils, is examined as a problem of downdrag. The drain is modelled as a beam-column in which the axial load increases nonlinearly with depth. The soil response is represented by the Winkler medium whose coefficient of subgrade modulus increases linearly with depth. The governing equations for the drain-soil system are derived and solved as an eigenvalue problem. The critical buckling loads and the shape of the drain are obtained as functions of the normalized subgrade modulus of the soil at the top, the parameters signifying the variation of axial load along the length of the drain and the increase of subgrade modulus with depth. The derived deformed shapes of the drain are consistent with the observed ones.

High gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) is the most commonly used magnetic cell separation technique in biomedical science. However, parameters determining target cell capture efficiencies in HGMS are still not well understood. This limitation leads to loss of information and resources. The present study develops a bead-capture theory to predict capture efficiencies in HGMS. The theory is tested with CD3- and CD14-positive cells in combination with paramagnetic beads of different sizes and a generic immunomagnetic separation system. Data depict a linear relationship between normalized capture efficiency and the bead concentration. In addition, it is shown that key biological functions of target cells are not affected for all bead sizes and concentrations used. In summary, linear bead-capture theory predicts capture efficiency ($E_t$) in a highly significant manner.

Yielding is an important feature of the stress-strain behavior of clays. This study was performed to estabilish the yielding curves and properties for a marine caly from Jangheung. Chonnam Province . A series of tests was done by means of the various stress path tests. Results of the tests are as follows ; 1) The laboratory -determined Ko is very similar to that applied to the Jaky equation. 2) The shape of yielding curve is nealry symmetrical about the p' axis like other natural clays. 3) The critical state parameters, Mc and Me are the same for compression and extension tests which contrasts with the results of the isotropically consolidated soils. 4) The state boundary suface using the critical state paratmers can resresent the normalized yielding curve obtained by various stress path experiments.

This paper presents a performance analysis of an improved adaptive algorithm proposed by the authors recently. It is based on the normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm, which Is one of the major techniques to adapt the cofficients of a transversal filter. Generally, the performance of an adaptive algorithm is often discussed by investigating the mis-adjustment. In this paper, unlike these approaches, a novel analytical method is considered. letting the parameters so that the residual mean square error (MSE) after the convergence of the algorithm is equal to that of the NLMS algorithm, the MSE level is compared. It is shown that the theoretical analysis is agreed with the simulation results.

Most pattern classifiers have been designed based on the ML (Maximum Likelihood) training algorithm which is simple and relatively powerful. The ML training is an efficient algorithm to individually estimate the model parameters of each class under the assumption that all class models in a classifier are statistically independent. That assumption, however, is not valid in many real situations, which degrades the performance of the classifier. In this paper, we propose a minimum-error-rate training algorithm based on the MAP (Maximum a Posteriori) approach. The algorithm regards the normalized outputs of the classifier as estimates of the a posteriori probability, and tries to maximize those estimates. According to Bayes decision theory, the proposed algorithm satisfies the condition of minimum-error-rate classificatin. We apply this algorithm to NPM (Neural Prediction Model) for speech recognition, and derive new disrminative training algorithms. Experimental results on ten Korean digits recognition have shown the reduction of 37.5% of the number of recognition errors.

To determine operational requirement, the environmental condition for an equipment must be investigated, and to certify equipment's normalized operation, appropriate test must be carried out under the considered environmental condition. The actual environmental conditions to which equipment is likely to be exposed are normally complex and will comprise a number of environmental factors and corresponding parameters, When defining the environmental conditions for a certain application it is, therefore, necessary to list the factors involved and select the appropriate severity. The operational environment is structured in two separate such as requirements, guidance and test specifications. For the preparation to determine operational requirement, operational environment of railway signalling equipment is investigated.
