In order to detect and suppress chatter in turning process, a stability control methodology was studied through manipulation of spindle speeds regarding to chatter frequencies, The chatter frequency was identified by monitoring and signal processing of sound pressure during turing on a lathe. The stability control methodology can select stable spindle speeds without knowing a prior knowledge of machine compliances and cutting dynamics. Reliability of the developed stability control methodology was verified through turing experiments on an engine lathe. Experimental results show that a microphone is an excellent sensor for chatter detection and control .

The knock in a spark ignition engine has been investigated to avoid the damage to the engine and unpleasant feeling caused by the pressure waves propagating across the combustion chamber. Knock intensity and knock onset angle were used as physical parameters to quantify the knock characteristics. The knock intensity is defined as a peak to peak value of the bank pass filtered combustion pressure signal and the knock onset angle is determined as the crank angle at which this signal exceeded the threshold level on each cycle. The cyclic variation of knock in four valve single cylinder engine was investigated with these two parameters. The location of autoignition was also examined by ion probes in the cylinder head gasket and squish region in the combustion chamber. For this measurement, a single cylinder engine was modified to accept the pressure transducer, 18 ion probes in the squish region and 8 ion probes in the specially designed PCB (Printed \ulcornerCircuit Board) cylinder head gasket.

A control system for a self-propelled boom sprayer to spray at uniform application rate was developed and evaluated. The ground speed of the sprayer was converted into voltage. The voltage was used as an input signal. Output signal was current of a servo motor, that controlled application pressure of the sprayer with a feedback control system. Spraying was executed at the pressure of 20~55 psi and the speed of 0.640~0.696 km/hr and 1.040-1.131 km/hr. Although the pressure and the speed of sprayer were changed continuously, application rate was tried to keep a nearly constant amount of 666.67 L/ha. This result showed that the developed control system for uniform application rate was adoptable for the self-propelled sprayer.

The model cavity scramjet engine experiments are carried out using T3 free-piston shock tunnel. Upstream hydrogen fuel is injected before the cavity with different injection pressure. OH planar laser-induced fluorescence is used to investigate the combustion zone and piezoelectric pressure transducers are used to define the pressure rise due to the combustion. Main combustion region is a mixing layer which is between air and fuel. Also high OH fluorescence signal is appeared in the shear layer above the cavity in high equivalence ratio. From the OH signal in the cavity, this fuel injection system can be a role as a flame-holder.

A new stroke output control algorithm with a fuzzy logic for an electrohydraulic left ventricular assist device(EH-LVAD) was developed. The EH-LVAD pumps out blood from left atrium actively. Excessive suction of blood may cause fatal damage in left atrium. The LVAD has to provide a maximal stroke output without collapse of left atrium. In this study a new fuzzy algorithm for predicting and detecting suction and doing proper action on LVAD without using an extra pressure sensor but with bellows pressure signal and motor current signal is developed. The performance of the fuzzy control algorithm is demonstrated by the results from mock circulatory experiments.

It is important to measure the somatic informations for stockbreeding automatization. This study was carried out for the development of wireless measurement system of sphygmus in living animals. In meauring sphygmus counting with the single-channel telemety system, a LED-photo transistor sensor showed more sensitivity to the change of blood pressure than a piezo-electric sensor based pressure sensor. The LED-photo transistor sensor resulted ${\pm}1.29%$ of measurement error of sphygmus counting. In the process of transmitting and receiving the blood pressure signal for counting sphygmus, noises were mixed with, and the noises made the counting almost impossible. Auto-correlation analysis technique was applied to the signal data to extract the sphygmus information, and the technique was proved to be very effective.

We develop a method to fabricate a flexible thin film audio systems using polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF). The system we designed showed the properties of increased flexibility, transparency, and sound pressure levels. As an input port of two terminals, transparent oxide thin film with a low resistivity is adopted. In order to provide dielectric insulation, a transparent insulating oxide thin film is coated to obtain double-layered structure. In the range of visible light, the output from the output of the system showed a increased and improved sound pressure level. The piezoelectric polymer film of PVDF is used to produce mechanical vibration due to the applied electrical voltage signal. An analog electric voltage signal is transformed into sound waves in the audio system.

It is important to train lower limb muscle strength using a tilting table to recover the lower extremity function of hemiplegia patients. It is known that the foot deformity and poor posture of hemiplegia patients can reduce the effectiveness of lower limb rehabilitation training. In this study, we developed a sensor system that can measure the foot pressure distribution of the patients for the load control of the lower extremity during lower limb rehabilitation training and it can be substituted for conventional high-cost technologies.

In order to make unmanned machining systems with satisfactory performances, it is necessary to incorporate appropriate condition monitoring systems in the machining workstations to provide the required intelligence of the expert. This paper deals with condition monitoring for chatter, tool wear and breakage during turning operation. To develop economic sensing and identiffication methods for turning processes, sound pressure measurement and digital signal processing technique were proposed. We suppressed chatter by stability control methodology, which was studied through manipulation of spindle speeds regarding to chatter frequencies. It was shown that tool wear and fracture were identified and to be estimated by using the wear indices. The validity of the proposed system was confirmed through the large number of cutting tests.
