We have studied electro-optic characteristics to improve viewing angle of the in-plain switching (IPS) liquid crystal display using an compensation film. The IPS mode shows relatively large light leakage and color shift in diagonal directions in a dark state. To solve this problem, we have compensated the low contrast ratio in diagonal directions using one optimized discotic film and adjusting TAC films of polarizers. The compensated IPS mode shows wide viewing angle characteristics that region of CR 50:1 is over $60^{\circ}$ of polar angle in all directions. The optimized IPS cell exhibits much better performances than other methods do in terms of CR and color uniformity.

In this paper, we study how the viewing angle characteristics of a bend cell can be compensated by uniaxial films such as positive a-plate, negative c-plate and circular polarizer. Especially, it is confirmed how the circular polarizer composed of a quarter-wave plate and a linear polarizer enhances the viewing angle characteristics by the $Poincar\acute{e}$ sphere representation. Also, additional compensation film is designed to improve the viewing angle characteristics of the cell by the $Poincar\acute{e}$ sphere representation.

Surface characterization of materials has been considered critical in the development of biomaterials, as many unfavorable responses from the body occur at the interface between a material and the body component. The contact angle measurement is one means to characterize the surface properties and to correlate them to the biocompatibility of materials. In this paper, surface characteristics of silk fibroin/S-carboxymethyl kerateine, representative fibrous proteins, were investigated by contact angle measurements of ESCA. The biocompatibility of the blends was evaluated based on minimal interfacial free energy concept, and compared with other potential biomaterials. It was also hypothesized that the enhanced surface polarity of the blends was generated from the conformational transition of proteins. This approach to evaluate the biocompatibility of materials based on surface characteristics may find wide utility in many biomedical applications.

Both ratio error and phase angle error in voltage transformer(VT) depend on values of burden of VT used. A method of evaluation for linearity of ratio error and phase angle error in VT measurement equipment have been developed using the standard resistance burdens, with negligible AC-DC resistance difference less than $10^-6$. These burden consists of five standard resistors, with nominal resistance of 100 $\Omega$, 1 k$\Omega$, 10 k$\Omega$, 100 k$\Omega$, and 1 M$\Omega$. The developed method has been applied in VT measurement equipment of industry and the validity of the developed method has been verified by showing the consistency of the result of linearity obtained using VT with wide ratio error.

In wide angle diffuser, the cross-sectional area increases so rapidly that separation can be avoided only by using boundary layer control. In this study, an experimental and numerical study is performed on performance of a diffuser with guide damper. A series of measurements were carried out to investigate the characteristics of diffuser for different divergence angle(${\phi}=7^{\circ}, \;10.5^{\circ}\;and\; 14^{\circ}$) of guide damper and angle of ${\phi}=10.5^{\circ}$ was through to be the best among three cases. Judging from the results, guide damper can be used as an effective means of improvement for diffuser performance.

We studied the viewing angle characteristics of a negative dielectric anisotropy nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the new vertical-alignment (VA)-1/6 cell on a rubbed polyimide (PI) surface. Good voltage-transmittance (V-T)characteristics using the new VA-1/6 cell without a negative compensation film were obtained. The iso-viewing angle characteristics using the new VA-1/6 cell without the negative compensation film can be achieved.

The characteristics of the response time and the viewing angle on twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal display (LCD) and amorphous (a)-TN-LCD without rubbing were investigated. To measure the tansmission-voltage, response time, and viewing angle characteristics, we prepared three kinds of LC cells and then studied the surface liquid crystal alignment effect. It was found that the response time on A-TN-LCD was fast compared to the TN-I-CD, and the weak anchoring strength was attributed to the fast response time on a-TN-LCD. Also, we obtained the wide viewing angle characteristics on a-TN-LCD. The liquid crystal alignment of LCD device for electro-optical characteristics is discussed in the present paper.

In this paper, A fuzzy logic based turn-off angle compensator for torque ripple reduction in a linear switched reluctance motor is proposed. The turn-off angle, as a complex function of motor speed and current, is automatically changed for a wide speed range to reduce torque ripple. Simulation results are presented that show ripple reduction when the him-off angle compensator is used.

In the case of projection type display, it needs to use the screen in order to project the image clearly and wide viewing angle. We have been developing the step in type display system using the smoke screen. However, the image with smoke screen was flickered by gravity and air flow. Then we considered to reduce the flicker of the image and we found that flicker can be reduced and viewing angle becomes more large. This time we report the large viewing angle step in type display system using screen made up with very small particle size smoke and flow controlled nozzle. Hence, at first we considered the most suitable particle for the screen and then the shape of screen and then we constructed the array of flow controlled smoke screen. By the results of experiment we could get considerably high contrast flicker-less image and get the viewing angle more than $60^{\circ}$ by this flow controlled nozzle attached new type smoke screen and make clear the efficiency of this method.

The present paper deals with the problems of yaw angle effects on podded propulsor performance. The study aims at providing insights on characteristics of podded propulsors in azimuthing condition. In this regard, a wide numerical simulation that concerned yaw angle effect measurement on podded propeller performance was performed. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) based solver is used in order to study the variations of hydrodynamic characteristics of podded propulsor at various angles. At first, the propeller is analyzed in open water condition in absence of pod and strut. Next flow around pod and strut are simulated without effect of propellers. Finally, the whole unit is studied in zero yaw angle and azimuthing condition. Structured and unstructured mesh techniques are used for single propeller and podded propulsor. The performance curves of the propeller obtained by numerical method are compared and verified by the experimental results. The characteristic parameters including the torque and thrust of the propeller, the axial force and side force of unit are presented as function of velocity advance ratio and yaw angle. The results shows that the propeller thrust, torque and podded unit forces in azimuthing condition depend on velocity advance ratio and yaw angle.
