In this paper, the characteristics of u-slot antennas are computed by changing the feed structure, and compared with the measured results. The impedance bandwidths of 13 %(255.1 MHz) and 30.7 %(602.1 MHz) are obtained for probe feed and L-strip feed, respectively. It is known that the designed L-strip feed can be used for increasing the bandwidth of u-slot antennas. In addition, it is shown that the designed L-strip feed u-slot antenna can be used for domestic PCS and IMT-2000 dual band applications.

This paper proposes an error compensation method that improves accuracy with geometry information of injection molding parts. Geometric information can give an improved accuracy in reverse engineering. Measuring data can not lead to get accurate geometric model, including errors of physical parts and measuring machines. Measuring data include errors which can be classified into two types. One is molding error in product, the other is measuring error. Measuring error includes optical error of laser scanner, deformation by probe forces of CMM and machine error. It is important to compensate these in reverse engineering. Least square method(LSM) provides the cloud data with a geometry compensation, improving accuracy of geometry. Also, the functional shape of a part and design concept can be reconstructed by error compensation using geometry information.

The resolution of analog sensor is determined by its sensitivity and amplitude of noise. This paper presents modeling of inductive gap sensor base on equivalent magnetic circuit and analysis of sensitivity. We can simulate static characteristic of inductive gap sensor using this model. Computer simulation show that sensor's sensitivity is affected by magnetic flux's leakage and fringing, and that they are affected by shape of sensor probe. Base on this, we designed shape of inductive position sensor probe.

This paper refers and implements XML Web services, which supports networked interchanges of moving object information. XML Web services are expected to be fundamental building blocks in the move to distributed computing on the Internet. As an interchange format, GML encodes semantics, syntax, and schema of geospatial and geoprocessing-related information resources. It can give great benefits to utilize raw data easily as an XML encoding format does. This paper proposes a full coverage of interoperable location trajectory services consisting of 3 independent modules: a moving object database, a data processing server, and a web services interface module. For communications, SOAP protocols and WSDL documents are used, which can guarantee an interoperability of a system regardless of different platforms and service channels. This paper also designs a GML data format that represents location information of probe cars.

Recently, the applications of unmanned system are steadily increasing. Unmanned automatic system is suitable for routine mission such as reconnaissance, environment monitoring, resource conservation and investigation. Especially, for the ocean environmental probe mission, many ocean engineers had scoped with the routine and even risky works. The unmanned surface vessel designed for sea probes can replace the periodic and routine missions such as water sampling, temperature and salinity measuring, etc. In this paper, an unmanned surface vessel was designed for ocean environmental probe missions. A classical and an adaptive fuzzy control system were designed and tested for the unmanned surface vessel. The design methodologies and performance of the surface vessel and fuzzy control algorithm were illustrated and verified with this unmanned vessel system designed for sea probes.

A method is described for the design and fabrication of the sensor interface circuits on the Clark electrodes for the dissolved oxygen(DO). The discussion includes a method for the +5 V single-supply driving for the sensor circuits, which has low power comsumption for the front-end electronics. DO probe under test is composed of the Clark electrode with silver anode, gold cathode and the electrolyte of half saturated KCI solution and the FEP teflon memtrance for the oxygen penetration. Typical polarograms for the DO probes by using this sensor circuit reveals high accuracy over 99% of the I to V conversion. Partial pressure of oxygen obtained from the polarograms are well suited to the results calculated. It is expected that the proposed sensor circuits can be utilized into the customized IC for the battery-driven small-size DO meters.

The paper contains design formulas and an execution algorithm for calculation of distributed parameters as well as wave and impedance parameters of a uniform transmission line using data of the line input impedance measurements by the OPEN-SHORT method. In difference from published before works on the OPEN-SHORT method application for line parameters determination, in which the lines with small losses are considered /1-3/, the obtained formulas allow to calculate parameters of transmission lines with arbitrary losses. It opens new possibilities of the OPEN-SHORT method utilization for development and application of the probe - type lossy dielectric media parameters meters based on transmission lines, including probe-type moisture material meters.

Measurements have been made in an automotive HVAC b1ower for two different centrifugal fans. This work is directed at improving the performance of a conventional forward-curved centrifugal fan for a given small blower casing. Mean velocities and pressure have been measured using a miniature five-hole probe and a pressure scanning unit connected to an online data acquisition system. First, we obtained the fan performance versus flow rates showing a significant attenuation of unstable nature achieved with the new fan rotor in the surging operation range. Second, aerodynamic characterizations were carried out by investigating the velocity and pressure fields in the casing flow passage for different fan operating conditions. The measurements stowed that performance coefficients are strongly influenced by flow characteristics at the throat region. The main flow features ware common in both fans, but improved performance is achieved with tole new fan rotor, particularly in lower flow rate legions. Based on the measured results, design improvements were carried out in an acceptable operation range, which gave considerable insight into what features of flow behavior ware most important.

A scratch tester was developed to evaluate the adhesive strength at interface between thin-film and substrate(silicon wafer). Under force control, the scratch tester can measure the normal and the tangential forces simultaneously as the probe tip of the equipment approaches to the interface between thin-film and substrate of wafer. The capacity of each component of force sensor is 0.1 N ${\sim}$ 100 N. In addition, the tester can detect the signal of elastic wave from AE sensor(frequency range of 900 kHz) attached to the probe tip and evaluate the bonding strength of interface. Using the developed scratch tester, the feasibility test was performed to evaluate the adhesive strength of thin-film.

Breast cancer detection using electrical impedance techniques is based on numerous experimental findings that cancerous tissues have higher electrical conductivity values than normal tissues. Lately, by taking advantage of the structure of current flows underneath a planar probe of array electrodes, a mathematical formula to find lesions from a measured trans­admittance map has been derived. In order to experimentally validate its mathematical analysis and the suggested lesion estimation algorithm, we developed a 256-channel trans-admittance scanner (TAS) for probing anomalies underneath a planar array of electrodes. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the TAS. Its performance together with the lesion estimation algorithm was evaluated using saline phantoms. Further studies are proposed to validate the system on human subjects.
