Parabolic approximation wave models based on $Pad{\acute{e}}$ approximants are presented of which the $Pad{\acute{e}}$(15, 15) is shown to be applicable to incidence angle $80^{\circ}$ in comparison with the exact solution of a constant sloping bed. After introducing a systematic way of the derivation to the parabolic wave equation, parabolic models are obtained in this study upto the 15th order and several numerical results are given to wave transformation in a constant sloping bed.

This study was conducted to develop system for high speed rice transplanting machines. The control system includes a sensor detecting the tilt angle of the seedling bed, a micro-controller and a hydraulic system consisting of a double acting cylinder, a four-way three-position solenoid valve, a relief valve and a hydraulic pump. The levelling system shared the pump with the existing steering control, resulting in a tandem center circuit for the steering and levelling control systems. Using the input signal from the sensor, the micro-controller determined and generated the output signal to control the cylinder through the solenoid valve to keep the seedling bed always parallel to the water surface regardless of soil unevenness during the transplanting operations. Both an ON/OFF and a PWM control schemes were tested. When the flow rate was more than 1 ι/min in the ON/OFF control, the system showed unstable rolling. However, in the PWM control, the system worked stably although the flow rate was more than 1 ι/min. The PWM control showed a better performance when a large difference between the angle and the dead band of the control system occurred. The characteristics of tile system response to given tilt angles were predicted by a computer simulation. Both the ON/OFF and the PWM control systems worked well providing that the operating and waiting times were properly adjusted.

In this paper we propose a control system to preserve the interior angle between back section and upper leg section to be larger than 90 degrees using a single limit switch. To design the control system we analyze the kinematics of actuation mechanisms for the back section and the upper leg section, and find out an optimal solution for the controller design. Using a prototype control system we perform experiments to test the controller performance, and show that the interior angle between the back section and the upper leg section is always preserved larger than 90 degree. From the experimental results, we show the proposed control system is feasible to keep the body posture stability.

하천은 자연 상태에서 내부분 단일 하천이 아닌 몇 개의 지류가 본류와 만나는 복잡한 하천망을 구성하며 하류로 흘러간다. 이 때 본류와 지류가 만나는 합류부에서는 본류와 지류의 합류각도나 유량에 의해 수리학적인 특성이 매우 민감하게 변화한다. 수리학적 특성에서는 수심이나 유속 등의 흐름에 대한 분석이 있을 뿐 아니라, 유사이동에서의 침식이나 퇴적과 같은 하상변동도 중요하게 고려되어야 한다. 그러나, 지금까지 합류점에 내한 연구가 대부분 물의 흐름 해석에 관한 연구이며, 하상변화에 대한 연구가 상당히 부족하다. 본 실험 연구에서는 본류와 지류의 접근각도를 $60^{\circ},\;75^{\circ},\;90^{\circ}$로 변화시키면서 분석하였으며, 유량비는 1:0.2, 1:0.35, 1:0.5로 변화시키면서 분석하였다. 이때 사용한 모형수로는 본류와 지류의 폭을 1:0.8로 하였으며, 이동상 실험을 위해 입경 1mm인 균일 모래를 이용하여 실험하였다. 그 결과 침식되는 길이는 유량비 및 접근각도가 증가함에 따라 커지는 경향을 나타내고 있으며, 이는 합류부에서의 하상침식에 대한 개선방향으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되고 있으며, 또한 접근각도가 증가함에 따라서는 최심경사는 점차 증가하는 것으로 나타났으나, 유량비가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

The adjustment processes and responses of a series of mining pits by sand or gravel mining were investigated by laboratory experiments. The filling processes of the two pits were affected by the bars developed in the upstream of the channel. However, the bars were not developed and the bed was degradated in the downstream of the pits due to little sediment flow, which was trapped in the pits. The submerged angle of repose in the pits was nearly constant when the pits were being filled. After the filling processes of the pits were finished, the pit was speedily filled with sediment, and the bed was aggradated and migrated with speed. However, the angle of repose decreased. As the distance between the upstream pit and the downstream pit increased, the bed of the pit downstream was tailcutted and degradated. The migration speed of the pit decreased. However, the dimensionless pit depth increased as the distance between the pits increased. The dimensionless pit depth increased with time.

We investigated an early rehabilitation training system that increase the intensity of patient rehabilitation training to shorten the time it takes for patients to progress to a secondary rehabilitation training stage by allowing patients incapable of self-ambulation. It consisted of tilting bed, unstable platform using strong springs and training program for lower limb rehabilitation. We performed experimental study on the muscular activities of tibialis anterior(TA), soleus(SO), gastrocnemius(GA) in the lower extremities during training of straight line, circle, quardrangle pattern during tilting angle of $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$. The muscle activities were higher during tilting angle of $30^{\circ}$ than $60^{\circ}$. In straight line pattern, the muscle activities were higher by SO, GA and TA during medio-lateral direction, however, by TA, SO and GA during anterio-posterior direction. In circle and quardrangle pattern, the muscle activities were higher by TA, SO and GA during clockwise and counterclockwise direction. The results indicate that the early rehabilitation training system could be applied to improve the lower extremity muscular strength for elderly and patients, especially, stroke.

The flow rate of various sand through circular orifice can be measured from a knowledge of a few easily measurable properties of the system. These are the orifice column and particle diameters, the angle of inclination of the orifice with the horizontal and an angle of repose of the granular sand material. Straight lines were obtained when the logarithm of the flow rate was plotted versus the logarithm of orfice diameter. No influence of excessive compaction and bed height was observed and the flow rate increased with decrease of particle diameter. The profile of flow developed the edge of the aperture in a way independent of its size. Linear relationship was observed between the angle of inclination of the orifice and the flow rate.

Inductive power transfer (IPT) systems for electric vehicles generally require zero phase angle (ZPA) frequency tracking control to achieve high efficiency. Current sensors are used for ZPA frequency tracking control. However, the use of current sensors causes several problems, such as switching noise, degrading control performance, and control complexity. To solve these problems, this study proposes ZPA frequency tracking control without current sensors. Such control enables ZPA frequency tracking without real-time control and achieves stable zero voltage switching operation closed to ZPA frequency within all coupling coefficient and load ranges. The validity of the proposed control algorithm is verified on LCCL-S topology with a 3.3 kW rating IPT experimental test bed. Simulation verification is also performed.

The flow characteristics in the shallow open channel bends are investigated, whose total angles were 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 in degree, and whose bed frictions were relatively rough(C=30) and smooth(C=60), respectively. The terms analyzed in this study are the water surface profile, the distribution of velocity and the flow direction, relating to the various total angles in the bends. The maximum depth in the bends could be found at the outside section of the location of $15^{\circ}$ local angle from the bend inlet, having no relation to the total angle and bed friction. It is supposed that the path of maximum velocities is especially influenced by the bottom friction when the total angles are bigger than 150 in degree, approximately. The ratio of the superelevation to the velocity head seems to increase as the total angle of the bends increases. The flow direction is skewed to the inner side at the bend inlet, and skewed to the outside at the bend outlet, regardless of their total angles.
