The energy-transmitting boundary, which is used in the well-known finite element method (FEM) program FLUSH, is quite efficient for the earthquake response analysis of buildings considering soil-structure interaction. However, it is applicable only in the frequency domain. The author proposed methods for transforming frequency dependent impedance into the time domain, and studied the time domain transform of the boundary. In this paper, first, the estimation methods for both the halfspace condition under the bottom of the soil model and the pseudo three-dimensional effect were studied with the time domain transmitting boundary. Next, response behavior when using the boundary was studied in detail using a practical soil and building model. The response accuracy was compared with those using viscous boundary, and the boundary that considers the excavation force. Through these studies, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed time domain transmitting boundary were confirmed.

The equivalent electroacoustic circuit approach has been conventionally used for estimating the absorption coefficient of a single layer perforated plate system. When the single layer system is extended to the multiple layer ones, however, it is found that an analogy error has been involved in the equivalent electroacoustic parallel circuit approach proposed by previous investigators. The analogy error is demonstrated by the corrected equivalent electroacoustic circuit approach in this study.

An EMI emission of 42" AC-PDP panel is studied in this paper. First, the EMI emission level is roughly estimated using both simple electric dipole type and magnetic dipole type radiator model. The value of current required for estimation has been obtained from Fourier Transform of the measured current in time domain. Second, we investigate which type of EMI radiation is dominant by FEM calculation of the wave impedance. The result shows that electric dipole type radiation is dominant EMI source.

The estimation of the work of heart can be treated as one of the most important parameters for determining the amount of circulating blood needed for harmonious metabolism in the human body. By monitoring the work of heart, one can detect increased work load of heart and start the treatment at the early stage of CHF. Thus it is necessary to estimate the work of heart. The contractility of the left ventricle, the second important parameter for representing the motion of heart, can be estimated through information on the work of heart. In this study, the modified Windkessel model, which has been used for a measure of vascular hemodynamic impedance parameters, was adapted to estimate the work of heart.

Initial velocity model close to real velocity structure of the subsurface governs the quality of image of prestack depth migration. Geophysicists employ velocity estimation tools such as velocity analysis (curvature method, coherency inversion), tomography and waveform inversion. We present a reflection tomography that parameterizes the subsurface into the movable blocks. By interpreting the depth-migrated section or stacked section, we can design an initial constant velocity model having only impedance boundaries. We use shooting-raytracing method that allows us to calculate the Jacobian-matrix efficiently.

Modeling of the battery for 42V Power-Net system is presented. For the Battery Management System(BMS) algorithm in a Mildhybrid vehicle, accuracy in SOC estimation is crucial. The battery model is needed for the BMS algorithm as well as system computer symulation for the energy management. The battery model was composed of impedance elements and the each element of the model is estimated by the analysis of the terminal voltage. The result of the model is confirmed by experimental data.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) models must be validated against a reference method in a representative population sample before they can be accepted as accurate and applicable. The purpose of this study was to compare the eight-electrode BIA method with DEXA as a reference method in the assessment of body composition in Korean adults and to investigate the predictive accuracy and applicability of the eight-electrode BIA model. A total of 174 apparently healthy adults participated. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study. FM, %fat, and FFM were estimated by an eight-electrode BIA model and were measured by DEXA. Correlations between BIA_%fat and DEXA_%fat were 0.956 for men and 0.960 for women with a total error of 2.1%fat in men and 2.3%fat in women. The mean difference between BIA_%fat and DEXA_%fat was small but significant (P < 0.05), which resulted in an overestimation of $1.2{\pm}2.2$%fat (95% CI: -3.2-6.2%fat) in men and an underestimation of $-2.0{\pm}2.4$%fat (95% CI: -2.3-7.1%fat) in women. In the Bland-Altman analysis, the %fat of 86.3% of men was accurately estimated and the %fat of 66.0% of women was accurately estimated to within 3.5%fat. The BIA had good agreement for prediction of %fat in Korean adults. However, the eight-electrode BIA had small, but systemic, errors of %fat in the predictive accuracy for individual estimation. The total errors led to an overestimation of %fat in lean men and an underestimation of %fat in obese women.

Recently, many people want to know their state of health, such as a body fat rate, anywhere and anytime. The Personal Digital Assistance(PDA) is the portable wireless apparatus that has become widely popular. There are many application areas of the IDA to be in mobile care devices. In this study, we developed the PDA based body fat measurement system, composed of a cradle type measurement module and a WindowCE operated software module, a regression equation for predicting lean body mass (LBM). Sixty-three weight-stable subjects (53 men, 10 women) aged 20∼32yr participated in this study. A regression model, LBM ＝ (0.0005＊Height2 - 0.0160＊Impedance ＋ 0.3920＊Weight - 0.0684＊Age - 5.8141＊Sex ＋ 25.984, was found. The correlation coefficient( r) of body fat rate between developed system and HTM1000plus(BionetTM) was 0.928. HTM1000plus is a commercially available and approved by KFDA. These results indicated that developed system is reliable for estimation of body fat rate. Although developed system is the PDA based miniaturized, it shows good performance comparing with other commercial product.

The magnetic saliency effect in surface-mounted permanent-magnet (SMPM) motors on the torque control at high speeds is first presented and analyzed in this paper. The d- and q- axes impedance are measured by proposed State-Filter. Measurement of the d- and q- axes impedance difference is performed to prove the existence of the magnetic saliency. Then, the saliency effects on the torque control performance in the flux weakening region are discussed. Based on the developed motor modeling with the reluctance torque, the proposed control adjusts the d- and q-axis current toward the operating point to track the commanded torque. The feasibility of the presented idea is verified by experimental results on a commercial 600[W] SMPM motor.
