For reliability analysis of caisson type quay walls, an approach to include the phase difference between the caisson motion and the dynamic earth pressure is proposed. Present approach. which uses the phase difference parameter, may over-estimate earth pressure. But the proposed approach considers the phase angle instead of the phase difference in estimating resultant external load. Therefore. it is more reasonable than the previous one. Accordingly, calculation of probability of failure becomes more accurate. Numerical example is used to compare the two approaches.

This study is concerned with the development of efficient p-median approach to nondegenerate cell formation(CF) in group technology(GT) manufacturing. Unlike most of existing CF methodologies allowing degenerate cells or families that contains no parts or machines, this study attempts to find cell configuration where each machine cell contains at least two or more machines processing at least two or more parts so as to fully utilize the similarity in designing and processing parts. Nondegenerate CF seeks to minimize both the exceptional elements outside the diagonal block and the voids within the diagonal block. To find nondegenerate cells, a two-phase p-median methodology is proposed. In phase 1, the classical p-median model is implemented to find initial cells. In phase 2, bottleneck machines and parts are reassigned until no further degenerate cells and families are found. Test results on moderately medium-sized CF problems show the substantial efficiency of the proposed approach.

The decision directed (DD) approach is widely used to determine a priori SNR from noisy speech signals. In conventional speech enhancement systems with a DD approach, a priori SNR is estimated by using only the magnitude components and consequently follows a posteriori SNR with one frame delay. We propose a phase-dependent two-step a priori SNR estimator based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) in the log-mel spectral domain so that we can consider both magnitude and phase information, and it can overcome the performance degradation caused by one frame delay. From the experimental results, the proposed estimator is shown to improve the output SNR of enhanced speech signals by 2.3 dB compared to the conventional DD approach-based system.

U.S. is constructing EPAA(European Phased Adaptive Approach) as a part of BMDS(Ballistic Missile System). The purpose of EPAA is to protect European NATO territory from Iranian ballistic missile threats. EPAA project consists of three phase, $1^{st}$ phase is completed as deploying transportable forces such as aegis BMD ships at the mediterranean, and $2^{nd}$ phase is on going. In this paper, the concept, characteristics, current status and future works of EPAA are surveyed and described.

The early phase of design intrinsically contains multiple sources of uncertainty in describing design, and nevertheless the decision-making process at this phase exerts a critical effect upon drawing a successful design. This paper proposes a set-based design approach for multi-objective design problem under uncertainty. The proposed design approach consists of four design processes including set representation, set propagation, set modification, and set narrowing. This approach enables the flexible and robust design while incorporating designer's preference structure. In contrast to existing optimization techniques, this approach generates a ranged set of design solutions that satisfy changing sets of performance requirements.

A design method for a teleoperator robot system is presented in this paper. The control system consists of two phases; approach phase and contact one. The end-effector position of the estimated slave robot and the contact force between the end-effector and wall are displayed on the monitors at control site, using which the operator controls the teleoperator system. The approach phase controller is designed using Smith's principle and the contact one designed based upon the structured singular value ${\mu}$ in order to increase the robustness of the system. The uncertainatices such as communication time delay and the variations of system parameters are considered as a muliplicative pertubation. Computer simulations are conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed design method. It is found that desirable control performance, especially in the contact phase, is obtained if the control mode is switched into contact phase when the estimated position of the slave robot end-effector is in front of the wall.

This paper reviews various bulk-type cloud microphysics parameterizations (BCMPs). BCMP, predicting the moments of size distribution of hydrometeors, parameterizes the grid-resolved cloud and precipitation processes in atmospheric models. The generalized gamma distribution is mainly applied to represent the hydrometeors size distribution in BCMPs. BCMP can be divided in three different methods such as single-moment, double-moment, and triple-moment approaches depending on the number of prognostic variables. Single-moment approach only predicts the hydrometeors mixing ratio. Double-moment approach predicts not only the hydrometeors mixing ratio but also the hydrometeors number concentration. Triple-moment approach predicts the dispersion parameter of hydrometeors size distribution through the prognostic reflectivity, together with the number concentrations and mixing ratios of hydrometeors. Triple-moment approach is the most time expensive method because it has the most number of prognostic variables. However, this approach can allow more flexibility in representing hydrometeors size distribution relative to single-moment and double-moment approaches. At the early stage of the development of BMCPs, warm rain processes were only included. Ice-phase categories such as cloud ice, snow, graupel, and hail were included in BCMPs with prescribed properties for densities and sedimentation velocities of ice-phase hydrometeors since 1980s. Recently, to avoid fixed properties for ice-phase hydrometeors and ad-hoc category conversion, the new approach was proposed in which rimed ice and deposition ice mixing ratios are predicted with total ice number concentration and volume.

This paper presents a digital controller for a single phase UPS inverter under two main considerations: (i) the overall system shall keep very low AC-voltage tracking error as well as no phase delay over different load conditions, and (ii) the digital controller shall be employed at a fixed sampling time. We propose that the former can be achieved by the proposed controller using the error-state approach and the latter can be dealt with by the socalled characteristics ration assignment.

This study proposes a stepwise approach to product safety management(PSM), of which roadmap consists of five phases. ISO 9001 QM model is assumed as the first-phase model and each higher-phase model is built by adding a corresponding module to the lower one. In the phase order, those modules are CCMS, a failure to warn, manufacturing defect and design defect. The progress in PSM of a domestic food company is discussed.

In this paper, the characteristics of frequency dependent dispersion are analyzed for the phase shifters in Ku-band phased array antenna system using full-wave method, SDA(Spectral Domain Approach).The design technique of asymmetric coupled-line phase shifter with dielectric overlay is proposed. The compared results of phase responses are shown with conventional symmetric coupled-line Schiffman phase shifter. The experimental results verify the improvement of broadband characteristics by the increasing bandwidths and the decreasing phase deviations.
