In this paper, we suggest an Iris recognition system with an excellent recognition rate and confidence as an alternative biometric recognition technique that solves the limit in an existing individual discrimination. For its implementation, we extracted coefficients feature values with the wavelet transformation mainly used in the signal processing, and we used neural network to see a recognition rate. However, Scale Conjugate Gradient of nonlinear optimum method mainly used in neural network is not suitable to solve the optimum problem for its slow velocity of convergence. So we intended to enhance the recognition rate by using Levenberg-Marquardt Back-propagation which supplements existing Scale Conjugate Gradient for an implementation of the iris recognition system. We improved convergence velocity, efficiency, and stability by changing properly the size according to both convergence rate of solution and variation rate of variable vector with the implementation of an applied algorithm.

In recent days, the inverter is widely used at the industrial applications. In the range lower than 100[kW], IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is most widely used as the switching device. In that case of IGBT, the rising time and the filling time are very short(about $200[ns]{\sim}300[ns]$). Especially for motor control applications, the switching frequency is required to be increased for better dynamic performance of the drive. However, the higher switching frequency leads to the unexpected problem occurs such as voltage spike due to stray inductance in the bus at switching instant. In this paper, a new methodology for reducing the stray inductance existing in the bus that induces the voltage spike will be presented.

This paper proposes a new islanding detection method for inverter-interfaced distributed generators (DG). To detect islanding conditions, this paper calculates the phase angle variation of the system voltage by using the phase-locked loop (PLL) in the inverter controllers. Because almost all inverter systems are equipped with the PLL, the implementation of this method is fairly simple and economical for inverter-interfaced DGs. The detection time can also be shortened by reducing communication delay between the relays and the DGs. The proposed method is based on the fact that islanding conditions result in the frequency and voltage variation of the islanded area. The variation depends on the amount of power mismatch. To improve the accuracy of the detection algorithm, this paper injects small low-frequency reactive power mismatch to the output power of DG.

Thermo-plastic has generally bad electrical characteristics at high temperature comparing to thermoset-plastics when the plastic apply to electrical power apparatus as an electrical insulator. To solve the problem, we study engineering plastics such as Polyamide and Polyphthalamide as a base resin. And filler of the engineering plastics is glass fiber. Electrical characteristics studied are permittivity, loss factor and breakdown strength according to temperature and frequency of measuring signal. Electrical characteristics of Polyphthalamide has good temperature and frequency dependency comparing to those of Polyamide.

In this article, the scattering effect around a microphone is studied by using boundary element method, because it is hard to find the scattering experimentally. The scattering problem is defined by impinging an obstacle, i.e. a solid cylinder, with an incident plane wave. From this analysis, the scattering is numerically calculated by varying the microphone shape, the incident angle and the distance between microphones. It is found that the scattering effect of a microphone increases as the frequency increases and is not considerable in the low frequency region. However, it is noted that there might be the pressure distortion above 4 kHz due to the scattering in microphone measurement.

This study examined small-size specimen's effectiveness that is used to evaluate floor impact sound performance. Floor impact sound level of small-size specimen is higher than full-size. This is due to excessive impact power of Bang machine. Impact hammer that has small impact power relatively can solve this problem. But, according to the size of specimen, mode shape and frequency that influence to structural borne sound is changed. Slab mode of full-size specimen was changed to frequency design of resilient materials. But in case of small-size specimen, there is no change of vibration mode by resilient materials change, Vibration mode of small-size specimen is the same. Therefore, it is not proper that use small-size specimen in floor impact sound estimation.

This paper presents a method of seismic analysis for a cylindrical liquid storage structure on horizontally layered half-space considering the effects of the interior fluid and exterior soil medium in the frequency domain. the horizontal and rocking motions of the structures are included in this study. The fluid motion is expressed in terms of analytical velocity potential function which can be obtained by solving the boundary value problem including the sloshing behavior of the fluid as well as deformed configuration of the structure. The effect of the fluid is included in the equation of motion as the impulsive added mass and a frequency-dependent convective added mass along the nodes on the wetted boundary with structure. The soil medium is presented using the 3-D axisymmetric finite elements and dynamic infinite elements. The present method can be applied to the structures embedded in ground as well as on ground since it models the soil medium directly as well as the structure. For the purpose of vertification dynamci characteristics of a tank on homogeneous half-space is analyzed. Comparison of the present results with those by others shows good agreement.

In this article the frequency response analysis of curved magneto-electro-viscoelastic functionally graded (CMEV-FG) nanobeams resting on viscoelastic foundation has been carried out. To this end, the study incorporates the Euler-Bernoulli beam model in association with Eringen's nonlocal theory to incorporate the size effects. The viscoelastic foundation in the current investigation is assumed to be the combination of Winkler-Pasternak layer and viscous layer of infinite parallel dashpots. The equations of motion are derived with the aid of Hamilton's principle and the solution to vibration problem of CMEV-FG nanobeams are obtained analytically. The material gradation is considered to follow Power-law rule. This study thoroughly investigates the influence of prominent parameters such as linear, shear and viscous layers of foundation, structural damping coefficient, opening angle, magneto-electrical field, nonlocal parameter, power-law exponent and slenderness ratio on the frequencies of FG nanobeams.

In computing eigenvalues for a large finite element system it has been observed that the eigenvalue extractors produce eigenvectors that are in some sense more accurate than their corresponding eigenvalues. From this observation the paper uses a patch type technique based on the eigenvector for one mesh quality to provide an eigenvalue error indicator. Tests show this indicator to be both accurate and reliable. This technique was first observed by Stephen and Steven for an error estimation for buckling and natural frequency of beams and two dimensional in-plane and out-of-plane structures. This paper produces and error indicator for the more difficult problem of three dimensional brick elements.

We have developed an one-dimensional (ID) inversion program that can invert multiple frequency small-loop EM data from horizontal coplanar (HCP) and vertical coplanar (VCP) configurations. The inverse problem is solved using least-squares method with active constraint balancing (ACB) method and Jacobian matrix is calculated analytically. Tests using synthetic data from simple ID models indicate that conductivity and depth of each layer can be estimated properly when both real and imaginary data are used together.
