In this research, 9 SAW welding specimens with 1 hour post-heat treatment (PH1) and 2 hours (PH2) were experimented to confirm the weldability and the joint performance of 60mm thickness HSA800 steel. SAW tests with PH1 & PH2, including weld impact test, bend test, hardness test, macroscopic test, and microscopic test, had a good test results. However, from the chemical composition test results, P composition was not satisfied with Korean Industrial Standards(KS). According to the weld-zone tensile tests, 2 hours post-heat SAW is recommended because the mechanical characteristics of SAW PH2 were better than those of SAW PH1.

A neuromuscular control system of a myoelectric prosthetic hand (PH) constitutes a nonlinear system with a dead zone whose magnitude is equal to its joint angle when the PH just grasps an object. This is because the neuromuscular control system remains an open-loop system until the PH grasps the object but it constitutes a feedback control system after the PH griped the object in which a torque induced in the fingers of the PH is fed back. To improve the transient performance of the control system, it is desirable to make the feed-forward gain as large as possible, so long as the stability of the system is not impaired. It is also desired that the control system remains stable even when the PH lifts a heavy or rigid object, because this makes the closed loop gain large and leads to the closed system unstable. According to the theory of stability analysis of nonlinear systems, we can only know the sufficient conditions that the system should be stable. Thus the nonlinear theory on stability is insufficient to be used to design the neuromuscular control system for improving its transient responses. This paper shows that the nonlinear system with a dead zone can be approximated to a linear feedback system and that well-known methods of analysis and design on linear control systems can be applicable. It is also shown through various simulation results that errors induced by approximation are practically negligible and thus the design methods are quite accurate.

The practical design methodology of a three-phase dual active bridge (3ph-DAB) converter applied to low voltage direct current (LVDC) applications is proposed by using a mathematical model based on the steady-state operation. An analysis of the small-signal model (SSM) is important for the design of a proper controller to improve the stability and dynamics of the converter. The proposed lead-lag controller for the 3ph-DAB converter is designed with a simplified SSM analysis including an equivalent series resistor (ESR) for the output capacitor. The proposed controller can compensate the effects of the ESR zero of the output capacitor in the control-to-output voltage transfer function that can cause high-frequency noises. In addition, the performance of the power converter can be improved by using a controller designed by a SSM analysis without additional cost. The accuracy of the simplified SSM including the ESR zero of the output capacitor is verified by simulation software (PSIM). The design methodology of the 3ph-DAB converter and the performance of the proposed controller are verified by experimental results obtained with a 5-kW prototype 3ph-DAB converter.

We report on the fabrication of two-dimensional Silicon On Insulator (SOI) photonic crystal (PhC) superprism. To optimize the design of 2-D SOI PhC superprism, the photonic band structures (TE-polarization) for triangular lattices and the dispersion surfaces were calculated and analyzed by the plane wave expansion method. Dense 2-D SOI PhC superprism nanostructures with taper input and output waveguide microstructures were successfully fabricated by nanoimprint lithography, followed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching.

Rational parameterization of curves and surfaces is one of the main topics in computer-aided geometric design because of their computational advantages. Pythagorean hodograph (PH) curves and Minkowski Pythagorean hodograph (MPH) curves have attracted many researcher's interest because they provide for rational representation of their offset curves in Euclidean space and Minkowski space, respectively. In [10], Kim presented the characterization of the PH curves in the Euclidean space and analyzed the relation between the class of PH curves and the class of rational curves. In this paper, we extend the characterization of PH curves in [10] into that of MPH curves in the general Minkowski space and consider some generalized MPH curves satisfying this characterization.

Powder injection molding(PIM) is widely used for many parts in the field of automotives, electronics and medical industries, due to the capability of net shaping for complex 3-D geometry. Powder injection mold design for the dental scaler tip, a component of medical appliance, was presented. In comparison with conventional machining process, powder injection molding has many advantages, specially in price and dimensional stability, for molding dental scaler tip which has complex geometry. Both product design and mold design for dental scaler tip were presented. A PIM feedstock was made of stainless series(17-4PH, 316L, 440C) powder and a wax based binder. The 'rapid mold' concept was applied to manufacture the various forms and materials of dental scaler tip including vibration characteristics.
