We report a nickel optical MEMS switch, being able to rotate through a large angle and to accommodate multiple channels. The proposed optical switch consists of a thin nickel mirror and two torsion springs supporting the mirror. The torsion springs are designed using a finite element method (FEM) such that plastic deformation of the thin nickel is avoided during the large torsion actuation. For switching speed improvement, transient vibration of the released mirror is suppressed by optimizing the mirror design and a fast switching response of $200\;{\mu}s\;(pull-down)/300\;{\mu}s\;(pull-up)$ is demonstrated.

Calmodulin (CaM), a ubiquitous calcium-binding protein, regulates diverse cellular functions by modulating the activity of a variety CaM-binding proteins (CaMBPs). Because eukaryotes have multiple CaMBPs, it is important to isolate and characterize them in different tissues and conditions. So far a number of CaMBPs have been identified through classical screening methods. Many classes of proteins have been predicted to bind CaMs based on their structural homology with already known targets. In an effort to develop a method for large-scale analysis of CaMBPs in Arabidopsis, we have generated a transgenic plants overexpressing AtCaM2-GFP. We performed protein pull-down assay to test whether exogenously expressed AtCaM2-GFP proteins can interact with CaMBPs. The exogenously expressed AtCaM2-GFP could strongly interact with a CaMBP, AS1 protein. This result suggests that AtCaM2-GFP in transgenic plants may interact with many CaMBPs in plant cell. Therefore, we will be able to isolate kinds of CaMBPs by using these transgenic plants in many different tissue and environments.

This paper develops the dynamic equivalents program combined with graphic user interface(GUI), to solve the stability of large power system. The p개posed method is coherency-based dynamic equivalents for transient stability studies. The program also provides with pull-down menu and Hangout help information for users. The developed dynamic equivalents program is suitable for the transient stability studies of a large power system with lots of data. The dynamic equivalents demonstrated over the New England system with 39 buses and 10 generators.

A common problem for manufacturing industries, especially consumer goods industries, is how to establish standardized procedures for loading finished goods onto pallets or containers for subsequent storage and distribution. Utilizing previous research results on the palletizing problem, this paper develops micro-computer based programs which generate an optimum loading pattern leading to the minimum amount of unused pallet or container space. Development of pallet layout chart is also included in the computer programs. The results are displayed by computer-graphic. For the users who are unfamiliar with pallet loading problem and computer system, pull-down menu and user-computer interactive data input procedures are adopted.

In this paper, an operating system is designed for NC controllers. Host computer is the IBM-PC, and the controller panel is designed in graphics mode to look easily for users. Pull-down menu is selected, which is useful to minimize a mistake made by users, so users can use NC controller more effectively. Also, many functions are proposed, such as NC editor for programming the NC program directly, simulation function for testing editted NC program, and new key-pad that appropriates for the functions of OS.

The information with regard to the working rance of lathe, cutting tool, cutting condition is managed as detabase system for turning operation. Date with regard to the working range of lathe, cutting tool, cutting condition are stroed by the DBMS(Data Base Management System) and can be added, modified, deleted and retrieved. Data stored in database system are searched to select the most proper cutting tool and cutting condition with the input data fed from the design stage. The system developed in this work is operated by the pull down menu on the IBM PC/AT personal computer, or compatible series.

This paper presents the new algorithm for fault analysis and this algorithm obtains requisite term for fault analysis by the two-port network technique. Therefore, the fault calculation time is composed of only few fundamental arithmetic calculation. The graphic user environment for fault analysis is implemented in mouse-oriented user interface with window and pull-down menu. The result of the algorithm proved to be identical with the sample system in Ref.[8]. this package can be a useful tool for fault analysis.

This paper presents the new algorithm for fault analysis and the fault analysis package for executing this algorithm. This algorithm obtains requisite term for fault analysis by the two-port network technique. Therefore, the fault calculation time is minimized because ${Y_{BUS}}^{-1}$ calculation time is removed. And, the graphic user environment for fault analysis is implemented in mouse-oriented user interface with window and pull-down menu. Therefore, this package can be a useful tool for fault analysis.

Sine CAM structure is regular structure as that of RAM of PLA, CAM generator program is easy to implement. This program outputs CAM layout in the form of CIF(Caltech Intermediate Format) and graphic display program is debugging or displaying CAM generator output, which are implemented on PC/AT with MS C(5.0) graphic library and C language. CIF parser is programmed with YACC(Yet Another Compiler Compiler) and LEX (Lexical Analyzer) in order to flat the CIF data. For the purposed of plotting the layout output using ROLAND XY plotter is developed. By combining these program described above, from CIF generation to layout plotting can be executed on pull-down menu according to user's option.

The ubiquitous plasma membrane $Na^+/H^+$ exchanger 1 (NHE1) is rapidly activated in response to various extracellular stimuli and maintains normal cytoplasmic pH. Yeast two-hybrid screening was used in order to identify proteins interacting with NHE1 using its cytoplasmic domain as a bait from HeLa cDNA library. One of the interacting cDNA clones was human Lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB). In vitro translated LDHB was pulled down together with GST-NHE1.cd protein in the GST pull down assay, confirming the interaction in vitro. LDHB antibody immunoprecipitated endogenous LDHB together with NHE1 from H9c2 cells, validating cellular interaction between NHE1 and LDHB. Subsequent analysis revealed that the overexpression of LDHB increased intracellular PH, implying opening of the NHE1 transporter. Moreover, overexpression of LDHB activated caspase 3 and induced cell death, consistent with the expected phenotype of hyper-activation of NHE1. Collectively, our data indicate that LDHB modulates NHE1 activity via physical interaction.
