The dependence of the ignition timing in an HCCI engine on intake temperature and pressure, equivalence ratio, and fuel species is investigated with a zero-dimensional model combined with a detailed chemical kinetics. The accuracy of the model is evaluated by comparing measured and computed results in a propane-fueled HCCI engine. It is shown that the peak pressure values are reproduced within 10% and ignition timing within 5$^{\circ}$ CA. The heat loss through the walls is found to affect significantly on the ignition timing for different inlet conditions. It is also shown that for the propane-fueled engine, the tolerance in intake temperatures is 20-25K and the tolerance in intake pressure is about 1 bar for stable operation without misfire or too early ignition. Comparison of propane and heptane fuels indicates that the tendency to misfire when heptane is employed as the fuel is less than that when propane is employed with the same wall temperature conditions. However, the heptane-fueled engine may have a lower compression ratio to avoid too early ignition and hence lower efficiency. For the selected set of engine parameters, stable operations might be achieved for the heptane-fueled engine with twice as much tolerance in intake temperatures as for the propane-fueled engine.

The fuel injection amount and timing along with the ignition timing for the gasoline engine of a racing car were adjusted using an electronic control unit (ECU), and the engine performance was evaluated through an acceleration test. The fuel map for the fuel injection amount and ignition map for the ignition timing were derived. Using the transient throttle control, the air-fuel ratio could be maintained at a constant value even in the case of a sudden throttle operation. In the flat shift, ignition blocking was more effective than fuel blocking. In a 75 m acceleration test, the required duration without and with ECU control was 4.47 s and 3.99 s, respectively. Notably, the acceleration could be improved by approximately 10.7% when the ECU control was implemented.

Boryeong Seadike located at southwestern seashore of Korean peninsula completed in 1997. Sluice gate operation can be an important factor to maintain lake water quality and reduce retaining time of pollutants within lake. The lake water quality simulation model, WASPS was adopted and tested to find out proper gate operation timing and discharge amount. From the simulation of sluice gate operation, the results showed that the later the time of discharge for loosing 1 day successively to 6 days, the better the quality of water. Discharge amount showed relatively minor changes of water quality. This means that pollutants flowed into lake from watershed do not have enough time to mix up with deep water when the gate opened at early time. About 3 days delay of discharge caused the dilution effect to stabilize the lake water quality in case of Boryeong freshwater lake.

In this paper, a comprehensive design of HBC(Human Body Communication) system for capsule endoscope is presented. First, we propose a method of combining the signals received from multiple patches attached to the body of patient through differential operation and derive the signal SNR mathematically. To synchronize HBC transmission signal sent from capsule, we analyzed coarse timing synchronization method using PN code and fine timing synchronization performance among Manchester, NRZ and RZ modulation method using ZCD(Zero Crossing Detector). In addition, we evaluated the equalization performance of HBC signal frame in Rician and Rayleigh channel environments by applying LMS and RLS algorithm.

Multi-ports register could shared several instructions at the same time in read operation. We address a formal methods for describing timing analysis and resource restriction in pipeline super scalar process that having multi-Port registers. First, we specify in-order pipeline instructions, and then, extend timing analysis in out-of-order super-scalar. In this case, we find instruction pairs in any cycle which can execute same time, We use ACSR(Algebra of Communicating Shared Resources), a branch of formal methods based on process algebra, for instruction specification and modelling.

HCCI (Homogeneous Charged Compression Ignition) hydrogen engine has relatively narrower operation range caused by backfire occurrence due to the rapid pressure rising by using higher compression ratio and significant reaction velocity. In this study, to grasp of backfire process and characteristic in the HCCI research hydrogen engine, in-cylinder pressure, intake pressure and backfire limit range are analyzed with compression ratio and intake valve open timing, experimentally. As the result, it is observed that knock is occurred just before backfire occurrence in HCCI hydrogen engine but not spark igntion type, this phenomenon is always the same for the above variables. Also backfire limit range are expanded up to 50% for the more retarding intake valve open timing in this operating conditions.

This paper propose a novel scheme called selective evaluation to improve convergence of ACO (ant colony optimization) for feature selection. The scheme cutdown the computational load by excluding the evaluation of unnecessary or less promising candidate solutions. The scheme is realizable in ACO due to the valuable information, pheromone trail which helps identify those solutions. With the aim of checking applicability of algorithms according to problem size, we analyze the timing requirements of three popular feature selection algorithms, greedy algorithm, genetic algorithm, and ant colony optimization. For a rigorous timing analysis, we adopt the concept of atomic operation. Experimental results showed that the ACO with selective evaluation was promising both in timing requirement and recognition performance.

Lean burn gasoline engine is recognized as a promising way to meet better fuel economy. Lean burn engine is classified into port injection and direct injection(DI), DI is more active technique for improving fuel economy with ultra-lean operation, Nowadays, port injected lean burn engine has been produced by many Japan maker. Also, DI engine is also possible for production owing to improvement in control technique of spray, flow air fuel ratio. DI engine uses either homogeneous stoichiometric mixture or stratified mixture by controlling injection timing to be early or late respectively. HM(homogeneous mixture) is worse than SM(stratified mixture) in view of ultra-lean operation in partical load and Nox reducion by using EGR control. But, HM has advanteges in cold starting and emission reduction during transient operation, This paper describes experimental variables and bench test results of HM GDI engine.

Unlike voice communication, data transmission, can be seriously affected by transient channel impairments. In some cases, timing synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver may not be recovered in the presence of these kinds of impairments without a forced reinitialization process. Therefore, it is highly desirable for data communication equipment to have an efficient timing loss detector for robust recovery. In this paper, one such detector is proposed for data transceivers haying a secondary channel embedded in the main channel. A known sequence multiplexed with the secondary channel data is repeatedly sent through the embedded secondary channel. For continuous watch-dog like operation, the detection is sequentially performed based on a modified up/down counter scheme. The performance of the proposed detector is analytically evaluated In closed form.

The Fontan operation is commonly practiced for the physiologic correction of univentricular heart diseases. However, for the patients who have risk factors against this operation, it is recommended to take the initial palliative operation rather than going to the Fontan operation at once. The proper timing to the Fontan operation after palliation is decided by assessing several factors such as patient's age and other risks of maintaining palliative state, etc. Usually, the Fontan operation is done relatively early after palliation stage. Here, we report a 36 years old-adult-female with univentricular heart disease who underwent the successful Fontan operation at 17 years after unidirectional Glenn procedure.
