This paper deals with the development of an interface program for automatic plate forming, which can exchange information between the heating line information generation program and the automatic heating apparatus. In this paper, the performance of the developed interface program has been verified from the view point of numerical position control. By applying the interface program to the operation of the automatic heating apparatus, an experiment of line heating has been conducted for several steel plate models. Based on the experimental results, a simplified relation to estimate angular distortion has keen derived as a natural characteristic of the present automatic heating apparatus. As a result of the present study, the prototype of the automatic plate forming system has been constructed, and its application to the real surface models found in the ship will be presented in the near future.

Material handling equipment such as container cranes and transtainer cranes have made larger and faster to improve the efficiency of container handling. As conditions of use in container terminal have become severe, and also the automation level required has become higher. For the high level automation for transtainer crane, the following characteristics have to be developed 1) Container Terminal Operation & Planning System with high efficiency. 2)Autosteering System of transtainer crane with precise position sensing system using image processing and feedback control system. 3)Automatic Position Identification System with transponder. We have developed an AGSS(Automatic Gantry Steering System) of transtainer crane with image processing technology preferentially. In this paper, the system will be introduced.

생산분야에 있어서의 기술혁신은 1980년대에 들어 급속적으로 확대되었으며 NC 공작기계와 Robot등의 기기와 Software 그리고 더 나아가서 통신 System과 연결되어 더욱 종합적인 고도의 생산 시스템이 개발, 구축 되어가고 있다. CIM(Computer integrated manufacturing)은 상기한 여거 시스템의 구성요소를 최대한으로 통합 화시킨 것이다. 다시 말하면, 기계 가공 중심의 Image를 가지고 있는 FMS와 가공, 조립의 종합적인 자동화를 추구하는 PA(Process Automation-처리과정의 자동화)와 제조에 관련된 OA(Office Automation)를 포함하게 된 것을 CIM이라고 생각하게 된 것이다. Computer에 의한 계측설계와 생산기술 그리고 더 나아가서 생산관리를 종합적으로 한 것이다. 그러한 의미로 볼 때, CIM은 가장 넓은 영역을 포함하는 생산개념이라고 말할 수 있다.

Computer Intergrated Manufacturing (CIM) is an emerging technology which aims at the total automation of a manufacturing system. Despite the extensive research on CIM in this decade, total automation seems to be far from reality for many reasons. In this study, the problems of implementing a CIM system are analyzed and a solution method is suggested. A set of software has been developed and tested for a workstation cotroller which controls closely integrated equipment in the low level of a flexible manufacturing system. The functions of the programs are communications between machines and computers and control of workstation scheduling. The software group is developed on IBM OS/2 operating system with 'c' language to enhance the portability. The usage of the software is presented to users through the Presentation Manager which is menu handler of OS/2 system. Although the software is developed for limited machine equipment, the scheme can be adopted to various machines due to the generality.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing on the organizational changes of the university libraries. Results of the analysis, that is, factors that cause the library organization to change, are as follows 1. Changes in library size physical facilities, growth and diversity of library collections, change in personnel organization, role enrichment and faculty status for librarians, management pattern of library director, change in financial su n.0, pport. 2. Change in program : change in goals and objectives, expansion of service programs, enhancement of library functions. 3. Library automation : introduction and development of many library automation projects. 4. Introduction of information technology : development and distribution of computer and related software, telecommunication, and new media. 5. Changes in user needs : many-sided demands for collections, spaces, and services. 6. Many other environmental factors related to library organization.

A class of robust control for flexible joint manipulators with nonlinearity mismatched uncertainty is designed based on Lyapunov approach. The uncertainties are unknown but their values are within certain prescribed sets. No statistic information of the uncertainties is imposed. The control which utilizes state transformation via virtual control is proposed. The resulting robust control guarantees practical stability for the transformed system and later the stability for the original system is proved. The designed robust control is implemented by experiments in a 2-link flexible joint manipulator.

This paper introduces the key features of NCS (Network based Control System), which is quite a new concept in the industrial automation market. Two control systems "DCS" and "PLC" have been recognized as control systems used for process and factory automation during the past decades. However, the market requires more complex functionality, such as monitoring and operation, alarm handling and notification from remote locations using the Web or e-mail. Besides enhancing functionality, interoperability between each device and system is highly required since network and engineering tools provided by many vendors do not cooperate with each others, so that lots of conversion, reconfiguration and reprogramming are required when expanding systems. NCS can meet this requirement, installing leading-edged IT technology using international standards for network and engineering environment. NCS, which is a harmony of web functionality, networkability and a reliable control function, enables information integration and responding to the market's requirements with agility and high reliability.

This paper presents how it is effective to use many features for improving the speed and the accuracy of the visual servo systems. Some rank conditions which relate the image Jacobian and the control performance are derived. It is also proven that the accuracy is improved by increasing the number of features. Effectiveness of the redundant features is evaluated by the smallest singular value of the image Jacobian which is closely related to the accuracy with respect to the world coordinate system. Usefulness of the redundant features is verified by the real time experiments on a Dual-Arm Robot manipulator made in Samsung Electronic Co. Ltd

IEEE 802.15.4 specification which defines low-rate wireless personal area network(LR-WPAN) has application to home or building automation, remote control and sensing, intelligent management, environmental monitoring, and so on. Recently, it has been considered as an alternative technology to provide multimedia services such as automation via voice recognition, wireless headset and wireless camera for surveillance. In order to evaluate capability of voice traffic on the IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN, we supposed two scenarios, voice traffic only and coexistence of voice and sensing traffic. For both cases we examined delay and packet loss rate in case of with and without acknowledgement, and various beacon period varying with beacon and superframe order values. In LR-WPAN with voice devices only, total 5 voice devices could be applicable and in the other case, i.e., coexisted cases of voice and sensor devices, a voice device was able to coexist with about 60 sensor devices.

To solve the internal security problem such as human error and bad faith, the automation of computer system management is significant. For this purpose, we focus attention in the automation of Mail Delivery Service. Today, requirement for reliable mail delivery system becomes larger and larger. However, existing systems are too strict about their configuration. Hence, we propose the method based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) to achieve proper MX record ordering. A measure on validity of the design of system, such as network topology number of servers and so on, is also obtained as side benefit. In order to verify the usability of the presented method, we did on a small model of mail delivery system. As a result, we show that RL is available for determination of the proper MX record ordering. Additionally, we suggest that it is also available for comparing validity of setting of MTA and the network design.
