This paper presents an isolated bidirectional dc/dc converter based on primary parallel isolated boost converter (PPIBC). This topology is an efficient solution in low voltage high power applications due to its ability to handle high currents in the low voltage side. In this paper, the converter has been modeled using non-ideal components and operated without any additional circuitry for startup using a digital soft-start procedure. Simulated and measured loop gains have been compared for the validity of the model. On-the-fly current direction change has been achieved with a prototype interconnecting two battery banks. A second prototype has been constructed and tested for supercapacitor operation in constant power charge mode.

Nowadays, the increasing global competition forces manufacturing enterprises to apply new technologies such as laser welding to manufacturing of their products. In case of automotive industries, they interest in assembly system for BIW (Body in White) carrying out laser welding. In this paper, the method of implementation for digital laser welding assembly system is proposed. Based on the requirements of assembly tasks obtained through product analysis, process modeling is executed by using the IDEF0 and UML model. For digital assembly system, the selected components are modeled by using 3D CAD tools. According to the system configuration strategy, lots of the alternative solutions for the assembly system of welding side panels are generated. Finally, the optimal laser welding system is chosen by the evaluation of the alternative solutions with TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method.

An n-point design is maximal fan if all the models with n-terms satisfying the divisibility condition are estimable. Such designs tend to be space filling and look very similar to the ″Latin-hypercube″ designs used in computer experiments. Caboara, Pistone, Riccomago and Wynn (1997) conjectured that a maximal fan design on an integer grid exists for any n and m, where m is the number of factors. In this paper we examine the relationship between maximal fan design and latin-hypercube to give a partial solution for the conjecture.

In this study, molecular size distribution of natural organic matter (NOM) after ozonation was measured and its effect on adsorption capacity of activated carbon was investigated. According to the results, the molecular size of NOM was limitedly changed. Specifically, the molecular size of NOM between 5,000 to 10,000 Da were slightly decreased with increasing ozone doses. The adsorption capacity after ozonation was evaluated using Freundlich isotherm with ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) which simulated the multi components adsorption. Further, mini-column test was conducted. The Freundlich constant, K was reduced after ozonation and the non-adsorbable fraction was increased with ozonation. However, no correlation between K and ozone doses was found. The present study also agreed with the correlation between adsorption capacity and pore size characteristics of activated carbon.

It is well known to diesel engineers that the heat release pattern is one of the most important factors affecting engine performance. Thorough research in heat release pattern has materially helped the progress in high-speed diesel engine development . This paper is based on the research conducted at KAIST and Daewoo Heavy Industry last year. The purpose of this paper is to determine the heat release pattern in combustion chamber of MAN M type, the famous low-noise engine. Thermodynamic cycle simulation was performed using Whitehous-Way's heat release pattern with modified coefficients and Annand's heat transfer model. Instantaneous temperature and pressure of gas in cylinder could be determined by the numerical solution of simultaneous equation of mass conservation, equation of energy conservation, and state equation of ideal gas. Calculated results were compared with measured values in some details emphasizing upon the factors affecting rate of heat release. The agreement was fairly good and revealed why M type should have lower burning velocity at the early part of combustion in spite of high injection rate. Additional results by parametric studies were given in relation to fuel injection conditions for further application to engine development.

A screening method has been developed for detecting sulfamethazine(SMZ) contamination of meat or feeds by using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled protein A (Prot AHRP)and an indirect competitve enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The assay is based on competitve binding of guinea pig anti-SMZ with SMZ in smaple and SMZ-gelatin conjugate(SMZ.GEL). Percent binding (B.Bo$\times$100) was calculated from the absorbance in the absence (B0) and presence (B) of SMZ. By the sandard curve prepared by plotting log(SMZ) vs percent binding of each known reference solution, the detection limit was 1.0ppb or less. Cross reacton with sulfadimethoxine, sulfaguaniding, sulfamerazine, sulfamthoxpyridazine, sulfanilamide, sulfisomidine and sufisoxazole were not observed. But sulfamerazine crossreacted in the test. The EC-50 value (concentration causing 50% inhibition of color development compared with blank) of sulfamerazine was 2.0 ppm. Further quality control will make the ELISA system ideal for the detection of SMZ in meat or feeds.

Segmental mandibulectomy causes severe functional disability and cosmetic problem. Many methods of reconstruction have been used but none of these procedures provides the ideal solution. There has been increased interest in the possibility of preserving a portion of the mandible and still carrying out a adequate tumor resection. We experienced four cases of marginal with sagittal mandibulectomy in patients with floor of mouth. buccal. and soft palate carcinoma, and sagittal mandibulectomy in 8 patients with tonsillar carcinoma and a case of marginal mandibulectomy in tonsillar cancer patient. In all cases mandible facing the tumor were successfully resected and repair of the mandible. postoperative facial contour were satisfactory. We think. that these sagittal procedures are oncologically sound in its removal of tumor. biomechanically secure and maximize postoperative rehabilitation while maintaining the normal contour of the face.

During the development process of a thermal-hydraulic system code, a non-regression test (NRT) must be performed repeatedly in order to prevent software regression. The NRT process, however, is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Thus, automation of this process is an ideal solution. In this study, we have developed a program to support an efficient NRT for the SPACE code and demonstrated its usability. This results in a high degree of efficiency for code development. The program was developed using the Visual Basic for Applications and designed so that it can be easily customized for the NRT of other computer codes.

The product rate variation problem, to be called the PRVP, is to sequence different type units that minimizes the maximum value of a deviation function between ideal and actual rates. The PRVP is an important scheduling problem that arises on mixed-model assembly lines. A surge of research has examined very interesting methods for the PRVP. We believe, however, that several issues are still open with respect to this problem. In this study, we consider convex bipartite graphs, perfect matchings, permanents and balanced sequences. The ultimate objective of this study is to show that we can provide a more efficient and in-depth procedure with a graph theoretic approach in order to solve the PRVP. To achieve this goal, we propose formal alternative proofs for some of the results stated in the previous studies, and establish several new results.

In this study, we first define user requirements to fulfill the reconnaissance and the search missions, by analyzing the system characteristics and operation environment. By investigating the design technology level, the development and procurement costs, the strong system design concepts and possible alternatives will be proposed. To analyze the system requirements, the Quality Function Deployment of the systems engineering approach will be implemented. The promising design alternatives that satisfy the user requirements are extracted by constructing the Morphological Matrix, then the best design concept will be obtained using the Pugh Concept Selection Matrix and the TOPSIS(Technique of Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution).
