We analyzed the thermal and mechanical behaviors of micro reformer for the purpose of design verifications and modification of micro channels. The reformer designed for hydrogen generation from methanol is essential to PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane) type fuel cell. For the mobile applications, the size and the simplicity would be the most critical issues. We utilized silicon process for micro reformer to obtain the thickness thinner than 2 mm thick. We have used commercial simulation software, IDEAS, to analyze the thermal and mechanical characteristics of micro reformer structure. The heat generation rates of heaters, heat transfer rates, and fluid temperatures are derived from thermal equilibrium relation and these values were used for thermal boundary conditions. We also analyzed the thermal stresses, thermal deformations to examine the possibility of failure.

Recently, with the merits of simplicity, ease of mass production and cost effectiveness, a roll-to-roll (R2R) forming process is tried to be employed in the manufacturing of the circuit board, barrier ribs and other electronic device. In this study, the roll-to-roll process for the forming of micro-pattern in electronic device panel is designed and analyzed. In the preliminary experiments, two major defects, i.e., crack near the dimple wall and wrinkling on outside region of dimple, are found. The study on the crack prevention is carried out in previous works by authors. In this study, the cause of wrinkling and modification of tooling to prevent the wrinkling is studied. The main cause of wrinkling is considered to be the uneven material flow along the rolling direction. To reduce or to retard the wrinkling initiation, a dummy shape on outside the pattern is introduced. From the finite element analysis results, it is shown that the dummy shape can reduce the uneven material flow significantly. Finally the effect of dimensions of the dummy shape on material flow is investigated and the optimum dimensions are found.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of mountain-valley wind on heat island formed in urban area which is located around valley mouth. The meteorological observations were carried out over the Dalbi-valley under a clear summer pressure patterns, and some consideration were tried from the results. In order to make clear the climatological characteristics and air-mass modification process of the mountain-valley wind over the valley, the meteorological observations were done simultaneously at two points. The observational points were located at the breast and valley mouth parts, respectively. The results were as follows: First, it was found that the valley wind was observed through the daytime, and it was replaced by a mountain wind after sunset. Second, the heat budget is also investigated with observation data. The sensible heat flux over the breast of Dalbi-valley reached to about $200 W/m^2$ during daytime, which is a little more than one third of net radiation. On the other hand, the sensible heat flux represented negative values during nighttime. But the sensible heat flux over the valley mouth covered by asphalt showed plus value(about $20{\sim}30 W/m^2$) during the nighttime.

In this paper, an auxiliary power supply (APS) for railroad cars is proposed. The APS can reduce the number of devices required to supply power through structural modification and operates at a high switching frequency by application of a SiC device. The voltage stress on the device in the proposed circuit can be reduced to less than half of the input voltage of the system; thus, a device with low breakdown voltage can be designed. By adapting a SiC device instead of an IGBT device, the proposed circuit can reduce switching and conduction losses and operate at a high switching frequency, thereby reducing output voltage and inductor current ripples in the proposed circuit. The theoretical analysis results of the proposed APS are verified with a 40 kW computer-based simulation and a 2 kW experiment.

It is hard to expect excellent electrical, mechanical and chemical properties from most of the composite materials presently used as insulators due to insufficient wettability property caused by the difference of interfacial properties between the matrix material and the reinforcer. Therefore, various interfacial coupling agents have been developed to improve the interfacial properties of composite materials. But if the wettable coupling agents are used outdoor for a long time, change in quality takes place in the coupling agents themselves, bringing about deterioration of the properties of the composite materials. In this study, composite materials were put to dry interfacial treatment by use of plasma technology. It has been presented that the optimum parameters for the best wettability of the samples at the time of generation of plasma were oxygen atmosphere, 0.1 torr of system pressure, 100 W of discharge power, and 3 minutes of discharge time. Also, the surface resistance rate and dielectric property were improved.

This paper represents a new type low power High Frequency technological ion source (HF TIS) for ion - beam processing: the surface modification of materials, cleaning of surface, sputtering, coating of thin films, and polishing. The operational principle of HF TIS is based on the excitation of electrostatic waves in plasma located in the external magnetic field. Low power HF TIS with diameter 92 rom gives the opportunity to obtain beams of inert and chemically reactive gases with currents range from 5 to 150 mA (current density $0.015\;~\;3.5\;mA/\textrm{m}^2$) and ion beam energy 100 ~ 2500 eV at a HF power level 10 ~ 150 W. Three grid concave type ion optical system (IOS) is used for extraction and formation ofion beam.n beam.

This paper describes the statistical analysis method of predicting the ship resistance. The equation for the wavemaking resistance coefficient is derived as the principal dimensions and sectional area coefficients by using the wavemaking resistance theory and its regression coefficients are determined from the regression analysis of the resistance test results. The equation for the form factor is derived by purely regression analysis of the principal dimensions, sectional area coefficients and resistance test results. Also, it is shown that the wavemaking resistance can be minimize by varying the sectional area curve without changing the principal dimensions of the ship. This methods were applied to the resistance prediction of a bulk carrier. And the, the modified hull form with minimum wavemaking resistance was obtained and the reduction of effective power was confirmed by the resistance test.

Properties of a protease purified from Sarcodon asparatus(Berk.) S. Ito have been investigated. The enzyme displays as a glycosylated serine protease. The sequence for the 21 amino acids of the N-terminal side in the enzyme was determined by automated sequence analysis. The sequence was V-T-T-K-Q-T-N-A-P-W-G-L-G-N-I-S-T-T-N-K-L-.

XML schema is widely used as an effective tool for organizing and validating XML data. Although W3C released XQuery and XQuery Update Facility as the standard methods for searching and updating XML data, there is no consideration about providing facilities for updating XML schema itself until now. So users can only update an XML schema file directly by using editors. However, the direct update has several problems: It cannot prevent user's illegal update; it is hard to apply to the XML schemas stored in databases, needs much time to analyze schema, and is likely to make syntactic errors. In this paper, we propose an XML schema update facility, which enables creation, deletion and modification of XML schema by using commands.
