Static Characteristics of the system, such as weight, center of gravity etc., are inspected and regulated through the whole design process of a light weight torpedo system, and the nominal condition of the characteristics is prescribed for standardization of manufacturing and fabrication. It is possible that a real system or assembled system has different static characteristics from that of the nominal condition. It is required to evaluate the tolerance of the static characteristics within which the performance of the system should not be contaminated by the static characteristics. In this paper, an evaluation method of the tolerance is described for light weight torpedo systems. The method is to check on the performance and related critical parameters of light weight torpedoes. The checking items are composed of general conditions of underwater mobile systems such as stability and dynamic sensitivity and specified performance requirements for light weight torpedoes.

In this paper, we propose an efficient control method that can be transformed into a general building control problem for building structure control using these reliability criteria. To facilitate the calculation of controller H∞, an efficient solution method based on Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) is introduced, namely H∞-based LMI control. In addition, a self-tuning predictive grey fuzzy controller is proposed to solve the problem caused by wrong parameter selection to eliminates the effect of dynamic coupling between degrees of freedom (DOF) in Self-Tuning Fuzzy Controllers. We prove stability using Lyapunov's stability theorem. To check the applicability of the proposed method, the proposed controller is applied and the control characteristics are determined. The simulation assumes system uncertainty in the controller design and emphasizes the use of acceleration feedback as a practical consideration. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed controller is impressive, stable, and consistent with the performance of LMI-based methods. Therefore, an effective control method is suitable for seismic reinforcement of civil buildings.

This paper presents an adaptive variable weights tuning system for an integrated chassis control with electronic stability control (ESC) and active front steering (AFS) for lateral stability enhancement. After calculating the control yaw moment needed to stabilize a vehicle with a controller design method, it is distributed into the tire forces generated by ESC and AFS using weighted pseudo-inverse-based control allocation (WPCA). On a low friction road, lateral stability can deteriorate due to high vehicle speed. To cope with the problem, adaptive tuning rules on variable weights of the WPCA are proposed. To check the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation was performed on the vehicle simulation package, CarSim.

The stability of omeprazole in the aqueous solutions containing loxoprofen or Sodium bicarbonate was examined at room temperature. Loxoprofen or Sodium bicarbonate (60 mg) was added to omeprazole (600 ${\mu}g$/ml) solution to check the stability profile. Then, the solution was kept at room temperature for 80 hours. The concentration was assayed at each concentration by stability-indicating High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Aliquots of the solution were withdrawn at specified time intervals and assayed by chromatographic analysis for intact omeprazole. The relation between omeprazole concentration and peak area was linear from 5 to 160 ${\mu}g$/ml. The analysis method was precise with relative standard deviation (% RSD) no greater than 3.05 %. The remaining percentage-time curves revealed that omeprazole was degraded rapidly as functions of time and temperature following pseudo first-order kinetics. In conclusion, the stability of omeprazole was significantly affected by liquid solutions mixed with alkalizer (Sodium carbonate) or the NSAIDs (loxoprofen).

Objectives : It is sure that standardization of medical instruments is very important and necessary. Cupping therapy is one of the traditional oriental medical method, and it is necessary to set up a standard of cupping therapy and instruments. Methods : We select 3 major cupping instrument makers according to a questionnaire survey of 2001 oriental medical doctors. Dae Gun is A maker, Han Sol is B maker, Dong Bang is C maker. And with these air pumps we make experiments on stability by an inner impact test and a falling test. With these cups we check stability by an inner impact test and a disinfection test. And to know function of these instruments we test a negative pressure and maintain attached cups until 5 to 10minutes. Results : All results of experiments(impacted test, disinfection test, falling test) on stability of cups and air pumps are suitable for medical instrument. And the efficiency of 3 major makers shows various results. Negative pressure of B group is the highest, C group is the second, A group is the lowest. Pressure maintenance test shows A and C group is comparatively up to the experimental standard(<10%), B group is comparatively below the experimental standard(<10%). Conclusions : Results show stability of cups and air pumps is suitable for medical instruments. And negative pressure of cupping and maintenance of pressure show various results. So it is necessary to set up a standard negative pressure of cupping and maintenance of pressure.

The maintenance for the stability of tunnel, especially on downtown area, careful check must be considered during construction stage and after. Moreover we have to achieve the stability of tunnel by ground improvement and reinforcement when ground condition is bad or tunnel failures under the various ground conditions. In this paper, it is presented the case of tunnel failure and the state of restoration by ground reinforcements at seoul subway $\bigcirc$-$\bigcirc$ construction site. For the purpose of ground reinforcement, first, curtain wall was established by chemical grouting. Secondly, cement milk grouting was carried by upper part of tunnel crown. Also Boreholes loading test and tunnel monitoring were carried by in failure site for the long term stability of tunnel.

Strengthened glass is widely used in the display industry for the smart phone and the tablet PC's, the market of which shows steady growth. The strengthened glass is prone to the fracture due to the machined surface defects such as crack and notch. The surface defects are caused mostly by the vibrations of the laser cutter. In this study, the vibrations of the laser cutter were investigated through the frequency response experiment and the computer simulation. The main reasons of the structural vibrations were analyzed, and further the design alterations were deduced and applied to the machine to check the effects of those alterations and to eventually improve the structural stability. The result shows that simple design modifications without major structural change can substantially suppress the vibrations, and improve the quality of the machined surface.

The aim of this study was to develop new protein/peptide depot system instead of poly(DL-lactic acid-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres. Pullulan was chemically modified by the addition of acetic anhydride (pullulan acetate; PA) and then investigated as new depot system for protein/peptide delivery. PA microspheres (PAM) with lysozyme as a model protein were prepared by w/o/w double emulsion method. The microspheres had a mean size of 10-50 mm with a spherical shape. The size distributions reduced with increasing the degree of acetylation. The loading efficiency of lysozyme was also increased. Lysozyme aggregation behavior in the microsphere was monitored to estimate the change of protein stability during preparation step. The ratios of protein aggregation in PAMs are lower than that of PLGA microsphere, in particular, PA 5 showed lowest as about 16%. The result indicated that the increase of acetylation suppressed the aggregation of protein. The release profiles of lysozyme from PAMs were significantly different. High acetylation effectively improved lysozyme release kinetics by reducing initial burst release and extending continuous release over a period of time. To check the effect of preservation for structural stability of lysozyme, the activity of lysozyme released from PA 5 was also observed. The activity of lysozyme was maintained almost 100% for 25 day. Therefore, PAM may become to a useful carrier for delivery of protein/peptide drugs, if it will be supported by biocompatibility and biodegradability results.

The main objective of this paper is to compare economical effectiveness of typical methods for checking stability in principal components of steel cable-stayed bridges. Elastic and inelastic buckling analyses are carried out for frame-like numerical models of cable-stayed bridges. The axial-flexural interaction equations prescribed in AASHTO Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) are used in order to check the stability of principal components. Parametric studies are performed for numerical models which have the center span length of 300m, 600m, 900m and l200m with different girder depths. Peak values of the interaction equations are calculated at the intersection point between girders and towers. These peak values are considered as a major factor to design of principal components of cable-stayed bridges. As a result, more economical design for girders and towers can be feasible using the inelastic buckling analysis. In addition, LRFD codes are more economical about 20% on the average than ASD codes for all numerical models of cable-stayed bridges.
