In the continuous casting process, mold level fluctuation Is the major cause of the surface and sub-surface defects. In the No.3 bloom continuous caster at Kobe Works, we ensured that the major cause of mold level fluctuation was mechanical hysteresis which existed in the driving system of mold level control. Moreover, we found out that it was possible to greatly Improve the stability of mold level by estimating this mechanical hysteresis and compensating It on-line. As a result of applying a new level control system based on this method, we got accurate control over good stability.

There are many intermediate web guides in cold rolling mills process such as CRM (cold rolling mill), CGL (continuous galvanizing line), EGL (electrical galvanizing line) and so on. The main functions of the web guides are to adjust the center line of the web (strip) to the center line of the steel process. So they are called CPC (center position control). Rapid process speed cause large deviation between the center position of the strip and the process line. Too much deviation is not desirable. So the difference between the center position of the strip and the process line should be compensated. In general, the center position control of the web is obtained by the hydraulic driver and electrical controller. In this paper, we propose modelling and several controller designs for web-guide systems. We model the web and guide by using geometrical relations of the guide ignored the mass and stiffness of the web. To control the systems, we propose PID controllers with their gains tuned by the Ziegler-Nichols method, the H$\_$$\infty$/ controller model-matching method, and the coefficient diagram method (CDM). CDM is modified for high order systems. The results are verified by computer simulations.

Hastelloy C-276, corrosion resistant alloy at high temperature, is used in chemical plant and power generation industry. In this study, process parameter of laser welding for welding property in Hastelloy C-276 using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser was studied. As the result of experiment, laser welding did not show segregation or crack at heat affected zone compared to conventional GTWA welding. The melting zone showed cell dendritic structure along with welding line. In addition, planer front solidification is occurred from welding structure, and it was progressed to cellular solidification. Optimal process parameter for butt welding was 1.2kW and 2.0 m/min for laser power and welding speed, respectively. While heat input, output density, tensile stress, and longitudinal strain was $441.98{\times}103$ J/cm2, $29.553{\times}103$ W/cm2, 768 MPa, and 0.689, respectively. Lap welding of the same material showed greater discrepancy in tensile property during 1 line and 2 line welding. For 1 line welding, tensile stress was about 320 MPa, and 2 line showed slightly larger tensile stress. However, strain was decreased by 20%. From this result, lap welding of the same material, Hastelloy C-276, with 2 line welding is considered to be more effective process than 1 line welding with consideration of mechanical property.

Composting by negative aeration is a reasonable proposition to control odor generated during composting process. Cattle manure and rice hulls mixtures were composted in a bin composting system by negative aeration. Continuous(CA) and intermittent(IA) aeration methods were applied to analyze the composting characteristics. The composting temperature and the ammonia emission during composting were investigated according to the aeration methods. The main problem for the negative aeration was the generation of condensate in the suction line of blower. The quantity of condensate was significant for continuous aeration. The aeration method should be modified to escape from the cooling effect of continuous aeration at the initial stage of composting. It took a longer time to finish a composting for intermittent aeration on account of lower aeration. It was concluded that the composting by negative aeration could be accomplished by either continuous or intermittent aeration method if the flow rate would be controlled more efficiently and the water vapor in suction line of blower could be removed effectively. Ammonia emission increased up to maximum value of 675ppm for continuous aeration while 300ppm for intermittent aeration. However, the cumulative value of ammonia emission was larger for intermittent aeration than for continuous aeration.

This paper presents an approach to the design of real time task scheduling for a line controller of continuous manufacturing process automation. The line controller has multiprocessor-based architecture with shared memory and is operated by firmware. This firmware contains menu-driven software supporting real-time database management and fuction-block control language. The multitasking line control processor performs the following three functions: 1) interprets the function block control language by virtue of shared memory in the database; 2) invokes an interupt service routine as required by external hardware; 3) detects errors and notifies the user. We propose real time task scheduling method.

In this paper, the design method of fuzzy neural network(FNN) controller using indirect adaptive control technique is presented for controlling chaotic nonlinear systems. Firstly, the fuzzy model identified with a FNN in off-line process. Secondly, the trained fuzzy model tunes adaptively the control rules of the FNN controller in on-line process. In order to evaluate the proposed control method, Indirect adaptive control method is applied to the representative continuous-time chaotic nonlinear systems, that is, the Duffing system and the Lorenz system. Simulations are done to verify the effectivencess of controller.

A flow injection analysis method (FIA), which analyzes sample conditions after injecting a sample and reagents into a continuous stream, are recognized as the most adequate analyzing method according to the increase of sampling frequency, the decrease of measuring time and the diversity of measuring targets. Specially, the FIA is considered to be used effectively for the control of a fermentation process to produce fermentation food and useful microbial production by activation of a fermentation industry for development of biological materials. In this study, a flow injection analysis sensor unit was developed for on-line monitoring of the fermentation process. The performance was verified by on-line measuring the concentration of glucose of the fermentation process of wine. The glucose concentrations of the samples were measured every 12 hours during the whole fermentation process and compared with those by a HPLC. The concentration relative errors of glucose on the fermentation process of wine showed below 30% within 72 hours and over 50% after the 72 hours. The sensor unit had potential to on-line monitoring of the fermentation process but some problems to overcome for an commercial application.

The continuous process systems usually consists of various components: driven rollers. idle rolls, load-cell and so on. Even a simple fault in a single component in the line may cause a catastrophic damage on the final products. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to diagnosis the components of the continuous systems. In this paper, an adaptive eccentricity compensation method is presented. And a new diagnosis method for transverse roll shape defects on rolling process is developed. The new method was induced from analyzing the rolling mechanism by using rolling force model, tension model, Hitchcock's equation, and measured delivery thickness of materials etc. Computer simulation results also show that the proposed diagnosis methods is very effective in the diagnosis of 3-D roll shape

In this paper, an implemenation of on-line continuous recognizer for cursive Hangul handwriting is explained. For the Hangul recognition system, we propose a high speed string matching. The editing process in our proposed string matching is accomplished by single editing path. And the matching results are stored in a heap structure and we decide the user comfortibility of unceasing writing during recognition owing to the high speed matching. In the experimental result, a recongition rate of 86.36% at 1.75 second/character over 21,076 characters collected from 50 persons are abtained. And it is shown that the proposed recognition system is operated properly for the on-line recognition for cursive handwring between graphemes.
