For Pneumatic system control, we need a data transmission system with high speed and high realibility for information interchange between main computer and solenoid valves and I/O devices. This paper presents a set of design techniques for a data communication system that is mainly used for pneumatic system control. For this purpose, we first designed hardware modules for an interface between central control module and local node that handles the operation of solenoid valves. In addition we developed a communication protocol for construction of RS-485 based multidrop network, and this protocol is basically designed with a kind of polling technique. Finally we evaluated performance of the developed system. The field test results show that, even under high noise environment, the data transmission of 375Kbps rate is possible up to 1,000m without using repeater. In addition, the system developed in this research is proved to be used easily for extension of a communication network because of its module structure.

The multi-stage control valve is one of the devices which controls cavitation and high pressure drop. To attain the high pressure drop, the conventional control valves adopted the multi-stage trim to avoid the occurrence of local cavitation in valves. This work studied the effect of divergence angle on the characteristics of multi-stage trim. Pressure drop and flow characteristics was calculated for the 1 passage of multi-staged trim by using the FLUENT 6.3.26. The result showed that the pressure drop is significantly influenced by the divergence angle of multi-stage trim. In addition, the pressure drop increased consistently as the Reynolds number and divergence angle increases.

This study deals with the position control of a hydraulic cylinder system operated by two port 3-way high speed solenoid valve in Pulse-Width-Modulation mode, instead of using conventional electro-hydraulic servovalve. Due to the complexity and the relatively poor reliability of the servovalve, an actuator using simpler and more study high speed solenoid valve will be presented. The high speed solenoid valve acts as converters of electronic pulse signal to hydraulic ones. It has been pointed out that there are practical problems to be solved in the PWM system, that is (1) accuracy of positioning control becomes considerably insufficient because the system is affected by on/off action of the solenoid valves, and (2) serious nonlinerality appears in the valve characteristics as a result of the switching behavior of the valves. As a method to overcome these defects, the differential PWM driving method of a hydraulic cylinder that improved the steady-state-error, flow rate nonlinearity in simple PWM, and the hydraulic hunting of dead time compensated-PWM driving is proposed in this study.

We present a passive flow-rate regulator, capable to compensate inlet pressure variation and to maintain a constant flow-rate for precise liquid control. Deflection of the parallel membrane valves in the passive flowrate regulator adjusts fluidic resistance according to inlet fluid pressure without any external energy. Compared to previous passive flow-rate regulators, the present device achieves precision flow regulation functions at the lower threshold compensation pressure of 20kPa with the simpler structure. In the experimental study, the fabricated device achieves the constant flow-rate of $6.09{\pm}0.32{\mu}l/s$ over the inlet pressure range of $20{\sim}50$ kPa. The present flow-rate regulator having simple structure and lower compensation pressure level demonstrates potentials for use in integrated micropump systems.

In this paper, proportional modulator which controls the second pressure of the pneumatic system was studied and proportional operating of modulator was gotten by two digital valves that have a fast dynamic characteristics and were controlled by PWM operating method. In order to more precision pressure control, this modulator consist of not only high speed two digital valves but also pressure sensor, measurement equipment and controller having a microprocessing function. In this study, for the development of the new proportional modulator, various research such as PWM control method, test equipment manufacturing, testing and evaluation were accomplished.

Prosthetic valve replacement has resulted in marked improvement in the functional status of many patients with valvular heart disease. But valve failure from various causes has necessitated re-replacement of prosthetic valve in some of these patients. This selective group of patients has many inherent problems. This report presents our experience with seven patients who received re-replacement of prosthetic valve in the Seoul National University Hospital from 1981, to 1983. The patients included one woman and six men in the range of 9 and 49 years old. As the first valve operations, there were five MVR using tissue valves, one DVR [Bjork-Shiley and Ionescu-Shiley valve] and one case of modified Bentall operation with composite graft [Ionescu-Shiley valve]. Reoperations on prosthetic valve failure were performed 17 to 54 months after the first operation [mean 34 months]. Amon8 seven patients, there were two cases of prosthetic valve endocarditis and five cases of primary tissue failure. Gross calcification of the xenograft was found in two children with Ionescu-Shiley valve. All except one had relatively successful operative results. The unsuccessful one died intraoperatively from low output syndrome.

Piezoelectric micro-pump should contain the physical running parts like check valves for acquiring the unilateral motion of fluid from the alternating motion of actuators. But the check valves raise many problems such as abrasion or exhaustive destruction by the recursive mechanical displacement To solve these problems, we propose a novle type piezoelectric valveless micro-pump using peristaltic motion due to the traveling wave excitation. Proposed pump model is consisted of two piezoelectric ceramic plates, elastic metal body, caps for covering flow path, rubber rings for sealing tightly and disk springs for the pressurization of pump body.

The linear accelerator of Pohang Accelerator Laboratory(PAL) will drive a top-up mode operation in PLS-II(Pohang Light Source-II). Due to this kind of the operation mode, the electron gun is expected to have shorter life time of the cathode. Further in the PLS-II, two gate valves will be installed in front of the electron gun. The distance between the pre-bunching section and the electron gun will increase by 400 mm compared to the existing system due to the insertion of these gate valves. As a result the incident electron beam. One of the goals to improve the beam pulse width is by incorporating suitable biased voltage. In this paper, we will present test results of beam pulse width as a function of different biased voltage and focusing solenoid coil.

The left ventricular filling flow is now considered as an indicator which can be used for early diagnosing of cardiovascular diseases. Because the understanding of left ventricular flow physics is critical for this purpose, the downstream flow characteristics of the artificial heart valve are investigated using particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. In this study, we investigated the wake characteristics of flows passing through three different artificial valves (St.Jude medical bileaflet mechanical valve. Bjork-Shiley monostrut mechanical valve and St.Jude medical Biocor bio valve). The downstream flow field has remarkably altered according to the different valves. SJM MHV has the flow field similar to the pulsating circular jet and BS MHV has oblique pulsating jet. SJM BHV shows the similar flow field of clinical data of normal heart.

Result of St. Jude Medical valve replacement are presented in 106 patients who underwent operation from January 1985 through July 1989. The patient were 52 males and 56 females. Total 136 of St. Jude Medical valves were implanted; 91 in mitral position, 45 in aortic position. The hospital mortality rate was 5.7%o[6 patients] and the late mortality rate was 2.0%[2 patients]. The causes of death were low cardiac output in 5, iatrogenic right ventricular rupture in 1, heart failure in 1, ventricular arrhythmia in l. And, the causes of valve related complication were anticoagulant related hemorrhage in 5 patients[0.03% /patient-year] and thromboembolism[0.01% /patient-year] in 2 patients. In conclusion, the performance of the St. Jude Medical valve compare most favorably with other artificial valves. But it remains still hazards of mechanical prosthesis such as thromboembolism and anticoagulant related hemorrhage.
