We synthesized dendrimers containing light switchable units such as azobenzene group at the air/water interface. Their chemical structure was verified by using NMR study and UV spectroscopy. We firstly investigated the monolayer behavior and by light irradiation using $\pi$-A isotherm at the air/water interface. As a result, the monolayer of dendrimer with azobenzene group showed the reversible photo-switching behavior by the isomerization of azobenzene group in their periphery. This suggests that optical behavior and morphological change are affected by the functional group and the symmetric chain.

A plunge pool is often employed as an energy-dissipating device at the end of a spillway or a pipe culvert. A jet from spillways or pipes frequently generates a scour hole which threaten the stability of the hydraulic structure. Existing scour prediction formulas of plunge pool of spillways or pipe culverts give a wide range of scour depths, and it is, therefore, difficult to accurately predict those scour depths. In this study, a new experimental method and new sour prediction formulas under submerged circular jet for large bed materials with shallow tailwater depths were developed. A major variable, which was not used in previous scour prediction equations, was the ratio of jet size to bed material size. In this study, jet momentum acting on a bed particle and jet diffustion theory were employed to derive scour prediction formulas. Four theoretical formulas were suggested for the two regions of jet diffusion, i.e., the region of flow establishment and the region of established flow. The semi-theoretically developed scour prediction formulas showed close agreement with laboratory experiments performed on movable bed made of large spherical particles.

Carbody bolster must be a strong structural member of the underframe because it is in the direct line of weight transmission. On the other hand, carbody bolster is a heavy member that occupied about 20~25% in the weight of underframe. In order to reduce the weight of carbody bolster, we study the design factors such as bending stiffness, bending strength and deformation according to the change of carbody bolster's second moment of area. And we investigate the design factors of a total of 10 species of existing rail vehicles. The results of this study can be used as practicable method in designing carbody bolster in the future.

Chattering phenomenon is still a large drawback of VSS. To overcome this problem, various approaches have been reported. A new notion of sliding sector has been proposed recently. In this paper, fuzzy control with time-varying boundary layer using the sliding sector theory with continued input function in the sector is proposed. This paper analyzes the stability, using Lyapunov function on the sliding sector. Computer simulation for inverted pendulum results in elimination of the chattering phenomenon.

When two-link flexible arm is rotated about an joint axis, transverse vibration may occur. In this paper, vibration dynamics of flexible robot arm is modeled by using Bernoulli-Euler beam theory and Lagrange equation. Using the fact that matrix $\dot{D}$-2C is skew symmetric, new controllers which have a simplified structure with less computational burden is proposed. Lyapunov stability theory is applied to achieve a stable deterministic nonlinear controller for the regulation of joint angle.

An ultra-wideband (UWB) circular monopole antenna with a multiband-notched characteristic is proposed. The multiband-notched filter consists of three different sized folded slots, which are distinctly assigned for the notched band at the 3.5-GHz WiMAX, 5-GHz WLAN, and 8-GHz ITU bands. The proposed antenna results in a measured ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$ < -10 dB, which completely covers the UWB band (3.1 10.6 GHz) with three notched bands at 3.5, 5.5, and 8.0 GHz. The antenna yields an omnidirectional radiation pattern and high radiation efficiency.

A mobile antenna for multimedia communications with Ku-band geostationary satellite KOREASAT-3 and JSAT-2A is presented. The forward link of the satellite communication is 11.7 to 12.75 GHz, and the return link is 14.0 to 14.5 GHz. The mobile antenna is designed to be a stair structure using 24 active phased array elements in order to provide a low profile, and to be at a non-periodic array distance using the genetic algorithm. Also, the designed antenna uses the double beam forming method for stable satellite tracking. The fabricated mobile antenna is examined using various experiments to confirm its capability for practical application. From the measured results, the fabricated mobile antenna system is confirmed to have a good performance.

This paper presents a systematic approach to identify a linguistic fuzzy model for a multi-input and single-output complex system. Such a model is composed of fuzzy rules, and its output is inferred by the simplified reasoning. The structure and membership function parameters for a fuzzy model are automatically and simultaneously identified by GA (Genetic Algorithm). After GA search, optimal parameters for the fuzzy model are finely tuned by a gradient method. A numerical example is provided to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach. Comparison shows that the suggested approach can produce the linguistic fuzzy model with higher accuracy and a smaller number of rules than the ones achieved previously in other methods.

Image normalization is one of the important areas in pattern recognition. Also, log-polar images are useful in the sense that their image data size is reduced dramatically comparing with conventional images and it is possible to develop faster pattern recognition algorithms. Especially, the log-polar image is very similar with the structure of human eyes. However, there are almost no researches on pattern recognition using the log-polar images while a number of researches on visual tracking have been executed. We propose an image normalization technique of log-polar images using momentums applicable for affine-invariant pattern recognition. We handle basic distortions of an image including translation, rotation, scaling, and skew of a log-polar image. The algorithm is experimented in a PC-based real-time vision system successfully.

Manufacturing methods of Nano particles can be distinguished by top-down technology as physical method and bottom-up technology as chemical synthetic method. Top-down technology is a kind of method for making microstructure as like carving after forming a macroscopic structure in advance and its typical methods are ball milling, gas condensation method and so on. Nano Particles synthesized by bottom-up method have got to do dispersing process for using them as actual nano particles because their viscosity are very strong and so easy to shape cohesive substances. Therefore, this study is about a particle separating device which separates a certain constant size of grains processed already in mill and mixer because we mostly use media agitating mill as a device of milling and dispersing and we necessarily use very slight balls as media for manufacturing nano particles in the machine. The centrifugal device has been designed for passing and separating below a certain type of grain size after final process of particles in the mill.
