This paper presents design and analysis of an HID lamp ballast for a fast turn on characteristics and stable operation. It produces a high open circuit voltage for the ignition and it is controlled to supply effectively the power required to shorten the warm-up period after the breakdown. The lamp modeling by empirical data is presented. It is very effective in the designing of the control loop in the steady-state operating region. A stable operation of the lamp power regulation in the steady state is achieved, which is crucial for the long life time and constant light output. Stability analysis of the system is performed and the results are verified through various simulation results and the hardware experiments.

The convergence of fixed and wireless networks in data communication is providing the necessary driver for M2M commerce to take-off. The opportunities provided by M2M Commerce areonly limited by imagination. Automotive Fleet and Freight, Tolling, Water and Power Metering, Supply Chain Management including Asset Management, Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics, Energy Management and Access Control and Security are among the many M2M applications that are currently getting rolled out. ARC Group expects the worldwide solutions market to be worth in excess of US$ 100 billion by 2007. In addition, operator revenues worldwide from the transport of Telematics data alone will rise from US$ 3.5 billion in 2002 to US$ 78 billion by 2007. This paper discusses some of the lifestyle and business opportunities provided by M2M Commerce in the new ear of network convergence. It also provides some case studies to demonstrate the benefits of M2M Commerce across the supply chain. The key focus of the paper is on achieving enhanced lifestyle, cost reduction, improved profitability and enhanced customer relationship management through M2M Commerce.

In this paper, we introduce an ubiWarehouse system for the management of automobile parts. Because automotive parts are very various in kinds according to companies, models and manufacture year, it's hard to find exactly the desired parts and to control goods in stock. To solve this problem, we propose the model of context recognizer in which context data are expressed in a systematic type of 5W1H. And initial context data are grouped and integrated, and some conflict context information is solved. Finally user's intention is interpreted and served. As a result, the proposed system can be used to enhance conveniency and correctness of the management of various kinds of part's.

Failure of connecting rod in automotive engine may cause catastrophic situation. The corner radius at small end has an effect on stress raising. To investigate the stress distribution in connecting rod during operation, the finite element analysis was used by giving possible maximum tension and compression. Excessive sizing after forging connecting rod may result in the tensile residual stress which lower the fatigue life and cause premature failures. It was shown that when the sizing amount is too large, the location of high tensile residual stress coincide with that of high stress amplitude during operation through the elastic-plastic finite element analysis. The endurance limit moves down due to the surface finish and decarburization, which combines with the movement of resultant stress points to dangerous range. It was concluded that the precise control of sizing and enough corner radius are necessary to a reliability of connecting rod.

In this paper, research on the mold design of motor housing produced by the HPDC process was conducted using computer simulations and experiments. Recently, automobile parts have been required to be light and have high strength. The die casting process was used to manufacture automotive motor housings. In the die casting process, the control of casting defects is very important. However, it has usually depended on the experience of the foundry engineer. For the analysis of the manufacturing process of motor housing, the finite element method is applied. Through the simulations using commercial software, the filling pattern and product defects could be confirmed. The analysis results obtained from the filling behavior of the casting process agreed with the experimental results. The computer simulation results of filling behavior were reflected in the optimal mold design of motor housing.

In the present paper, approximate coordinate transformations for simulation of turbulent flows with wall deformation, significantly reducing computational cost with little degradation in numerical accuracy, are presented. The Wavier-Stokes equations are coordinate-transformed with an approximation of Tailor-series truncation. The performance is evaluated by performing numerical simulations of a channel flow at Re$\sub$$\tau$/ = 140 with active wall motions of η$\sub$m/$\^$+/ $\leq$5. The approximate transformations provide flow structures as well as turbulence statistics in good agreement with those from a complete transformation [Phys. Fluids 12, 3301 (2000) ] and allow 25-30% savings in the CPU time as compared to the complete one.

In the development of new automobiles, the efforts to reduce environmental problems like air pollution have been risen. Blowby gas consists of about $20{\sim}35%$ of total amount of Hydrocarbon (HC), one of dangerous pollutants issuing from automobiles. A PCV valve is a very small component in an automotive engine but it is a very important part. Because that a PCV valve is used to control blowby gas and to recirculate it into a manifold automatically. Although it has very simple operating principle, designing a PCV valve is so difficult due to interaction between fluid and solid. In this study, our purpose is to develop a design program for a PCV valve and to verify its efficiency. Both Bernoulli equation and 4th order Runge-Kutta method were adopted to predict spool displacements and flow patterns. Comparing with experiments, it was found that both spool diameters and displacements were predicted well, however, flow rates showed a little differences because of the assumption of non viscous flow.

The Quality Function Deployment(QFD) is a Quality Management technique to maximize customers' satisfaction by reflecting customer requirements into all business processes, including concept definition, product planning, parts planning, process planning, production planning, and sales planning. The basic concept of the QFD is to translate customers' requirements appropriately into engineering characteristics, into parts characteristics, into process characteristics, and into specific requirements and activities in production. In this study, we reviewed and analyzed the application process of the QFD to the development of A2 FATC (Full Automatic Temperature Controller), an automotive component developed and produced by company A. It has been reported that by applying the QFD to the development of A2 FATC, company A. achieved 34% improvement in control robustness quality characteristic, 27% improvement in deviation quality characteristic, and 30% improvement in overall quality characteristics.

An electric vehicle operates at high currents and requires real-time monitoring of the entire system for ensuring efficiency and safety of the vehicle. Current sensors are applied to drive the motors, inverters, and battery control systems, and are the key components to ensure constant monitoring of the magnitude and waveforms of the operating current. In this study, a heat treatment process condition to influence the performance of Permalloy current sensors was developed; the correlation between the output capacity, low-temperature characteristics, and high-temperature characteristics of the current sensor was studied; and the process was optimized to meet the required output accuracy and temperature characteristics.

The use of tailor welded blanks (TWB) in automotive applications is increasing due to the potential of weight and cost saving. The object of this study is development of the front side member by static analysis and crash simulations. Accord-ing to the results , energy absorption and barrier force is very important parameter to control passenger safety and deforma-tion shape. A energy absorbability point of view, tailor welded blanks is most effective to absorb energy than non-twb. Non-TWB front side member and TWB applied front side member were simulated. It shows reduce stmping parts weight reduction and cost down.
