A mechanism for formation of surface reoxidation layer in Surface Boundary Layer Capacitor (SBLC) has been studied. SBLC were prepared by reduction of $BaTiO_3$ doped with $Bi_2O_3$ and electrode firing of silver paste containing $Bi_2O_3$ The apparent dielectric constant was in the order of $10^5$ and the insulation resistance larger than $10^6$$\Omega$ It can be expected that $Bi_2O_3$ dopant in $BaTiO_3$ plays the role of inhibition of grain growth and decreasing the resistivity of $BaTiO_3$. In order to confirm the process of surface reoxidation layer effects of atmosphere and annealing time in electrode sintering were investigated.

This paper presents Hybrid PI(HBPI) controller of IPMSM drive using fuzzy adaptive mechanism control. In general, PI controller in computer numerically controlled machine process fixed gain. They may perform well under some operating conditions, but not all. To increase the robustness, fixed gain PI controller, HBPI controller proposes a new method based self tuning PI controller. HBPI controller is developed to minimize overshoot and settling time following sudden parameter changes such as speed, load torque, inertia, rotor resistance and self inductance. The results on a speed controller of IPMSM are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed gain tuner. And this controller is better than the fixed gains one in terms of robustness, even under great variations of operating conditions and load disturbance.

In order to investigate the conduction characteistics of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film, several measurements have been carried out in the range of temperature between 5['c] and 25['c] as well as the field intensity between 10[MV/m] and 300[MV/m]. The whole range of the characteristics observed at 15['c] appears to be divided into five regions` the Ohmic conduction region due to ionic carrier below 40[MV/m], the region from 40[MV/m] to 70[MV/m] in which the conduction mechanism is attributed to Poole-Frenkel effect, the region from 70[MV/m] to 82[MV/m] in which the negative resistance characteristics are observed, then the region from 82[MV/m] which is dominated by Schottky effect and finally, the region from 240[MV/m] up to the point where dielectric breakdown occurs in which the mechanism is based on Flowler-Nordheim theory.

New insights in the complex metabolic pathways and its control mechanism for energy homeostasis have refined our understanding of the pathophysiology of obesity. It is now recognized that there are several additional regulatory mechanism such as peripheral signals including leptin, ghrelin, GLP-1 and PYY and cellular signals including uncoupling proteins and ${\beta}$ Adrenergic receptors, which contribute to the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure, respectively. In addition, the function of adipocyte as an endocrine organ in energy homeostasis has been recently emphasized. Recent findings suggest that elevated levels of adipokines, such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin and TNF-${\alpha}$, in addition to increased free fatty acid level could be related to the pathophysiology of insulin resistance in obesity. For effective treatments and prevention of obesity, further studies on the circuits of neural and endocrine interactions in the regulation of energy homeostasis are needed.

Structures and strengths of paper have been studied by analyzing fibers characteristics depending on refining methods. Mixing ratio of softwood and hardwood fibers and fibers characteristics have been analyzed for paper quality improvement. In this study flocculation and drainage of fibers were analyzed to improve the production efficiency and paper product's quality. Floc size and drainage rate depending on stock consistency and fines content were analyzed. Total amount of drainage during drainage process was measured quantitatively by using DI(drainage index). Floc size, viscosity of floc and dewatering times were also measured. In the case of refining load $2.8 kg_f$ , drainage was occurred by filtration mechanism rather than thickening mechanism because drainage resistance increased by fibrillation of fibers. Therefore, the drainage rate of $2.8 kg_f$ refining load stock was slower than that of $5.6 kg_f$.

Loading/Unloading(L/UL) mechanism has been considered to be an alternative to contact start-stop(CSS) mechanism which eliminates stiction and wear associated with frequent start and stop process. It has other advantages including increased areal density due to lower flying height, reduced power consumption, and improved shock resistance. In order for L/UL to be Implemented in Near-field recording system properly, dynamics of optical flying head must be understood and optimized. In this paper the dynamic characteristics during loading process is analyzed numerically to investigate the effect of design parameters such as loading speed. slider shape, and initia conditions on the dynamic reponses of flying head..

Wear test has been performed to evaluate the wear mechanism of Inconel alloys against ferritic stainless steels in room temperature water. By means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the worn surface and microstructure of subsurface layer have been examined. The wear at steady state conditions result in the formation of 5∼7${\mu}$m thick layers with fragmented microstructure. The thickness of these layers seems to depend on the ability of work hardening and deformation accommodation at the contact areas during wear. Therefore, in room temperature water, the wear rate is closely related with the wear resistance of these fragment microstructure which are generated after severe subsurface deformation.

In this paper, the failure mechanism of PTC heater were examined closely by failure analysis and based on it, accelerated life test were conducted. Finally, life distribution and acceleration model were established. The failure mechanism of PTC heater such as crack, increase of resistance due to heating were identified. Two acceleration factors such as temperature, humidity were chosen with two levels each and accelerated life test were done. Life distribution were identified as Weibull distribution with shape parameter 5.4 and Temperature-Humidity model was fitted as an acceleration model.

The sintered parts are mainly used for automobile industry, and a part of air conditioners. In automobile industry, the application range of sintered parts is very broad and use for a driving and a lubricating system. And air conditioner uses them for compressor. Grinding of compressor and pump parts is very difficult these days, because these parts use High hardness materials and require high precision grinding. Tool life has to be extended to decrease production cost. We analyzed processing mechanism and developed new grinding wheels for Double Disk Grinding. And, we introduce new truing technology that improved tool-life and precision.

Insulin stimulates glucose uptake in muscle and adipose cells primarily by recruiting GLUT4 from an intracellular storage pool to the plasma membrane. Dysfunction of this process known as insulin resistance causes hyperglycemia, a hallmark of diabetes and obesity. Thus the understanding of the mechanisms underlying this process at the molecular level may give an insight into the prevention and treatment of these health problems. GLUT4 in rat adipocytes, for example, constantly recycles between the cells surface and an intracellular pool by endocytosis and exocytosis, each of which is regulated by an insulin-sensitive and GLUT4-selective sorting mechanism. Our working hypothesis has been that this sorting mechanism includes a specific interaction of a cytosolic protein with the GLUT4 cytoplasmic domain. Indeed, a synthetic peptide of the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of GLUT4 induces an insulin-like GLUT4 recruitment when introduced in rat adipocytes. Relevance of these observations to a novel euglycemic drug design is discussed.
