In this study, heat transfer characteristics of vertical fixed bed with air flowing through were experimentally investigated. The experiments were conducted for cases where heat was transfer steady state conditions from an immersed cylindrical heated to the surrounding fixed ved of steel balls. Based on the experimental data, the optimum conditions for heat transfer augmentation have been determined and shows in empirical forms. For the same power loss, comparison of heat transfer effect between the fixed bed and single phase forced convection device indicates that both miniaturization of heat exchange device and heat transfer augmentation at low flow velocity are possible by application of the fixed bed to heat exchangers. The present results could provide a useful design information for the heat exchangers where fixed beds are used.

This study is aimed to analyze the floe patterns and thermal characteristics by computer simulation under the variations of fire strength for the logitudinal tunnel, from which flow and heat distributions are predicted in the longitudinal tunnel. Through the results of numerical computations, followings are found; one is that the volume flow rate is discontinuously increasing as closer to fire location, and the other is that a critical design to get the faster flow rate is required because of existence of backlayer flow for the high fire strength in view of safety for the people in fire of the tunnel.

We present a novel chromatic dispersion measurement method using a spectral domain interferometer for single mode optical fiber over a wide spectral range (200 nm). This technique is based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer using a white light source and spectrometer. A phase was directly retrieved from a measured spectral interferogram to obtain relative group velocity, chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope. The measured results with the proposed method were compared with those obtained using a conventional measurement method. Those results have good agreement with each other. Our proposed method can simply, accurately, and quickly (< 500 ms) measure chromatic information for a short length of optical fiber as well as optical device.

Non-linear behavior of rock under compression can be predicted by a crack model. Crack growth in rock renders rock anisotropic. The degree of anisotropy is explained in terms of elastic moduli as a function of load level. In this study, we calculate the changes of elastic moduli due to crack growth numerically by using a crack model and compare these values with experimental results obtained from the measurement of ultrasonic wave velocities. Image processing technique is used to obtain the initial crack information needed for the numerical calculation of elastic moduli.

A condition monitoring methodology for rotating machinery is proposed based on multivariate statistical analysis. The CMS usually are using the vibration signal amplitude such as acceleration RMS, peak and velocity RMS to detect machine faults but the information is not so enough that CMS cannot perform reliable monitoring. So new parameters are added such as shape factor, crest factor, kurtosis and skewness as time domain parameters and spectrum amplitude of rotating frequency, $2^{nd}$ harmonics and gear mesh frequency etc. as frequency domain parameters. Many parameters are combined to represent the machine state using the Hotelling's $T^2$ statistics. The proposed methodology is tested in laboratory and the on-line experiment has shown that the proposed methodology offers a reliable monitoring for rotating machinery.

A robot manipulator is usually operated in two modes: free and constrained motion modes, depending on whether the robot is in contact with an environment or not. At the moment of contact, an impact occurs and can exert harmful effects to the robot or the object. In case of teleoperation, since a user may give an inadequately excessive velocity command to the slave due to insufficient visual information, the robot nay collide the object with an excessive speed and it possibly deteriorates the robot's performance causing vibrations and at worst, shortens its lifetime by its fracture. In this article, a new algorithm is proposed by introducing a command signal modification method on the basis of impedance control and validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by performing simulations and experiments.

In this paper, we propose a new manipulator control scheme based on the CMAG neural network. The proposed control consists of two components. The feedforward component is an output of trained CMAC neural network and the feedback component is a modified sliding mode control. The CMAC accepts the position, velocity and acceleration of manipulator as input and outputs two values for the controller : One is the nominal torque used for feedforward compensation(M1 network) and the other is the inertia matrix related information used for the feedback component(M2 network). Since the used control algorithm guarantees the robust trajectory tracking in spite of modeling errors, the CMAC mapping errors due to the memory limitation are little worth consideration.

A theoretical self-consistent thermoelectric model has been developed for optimal thermal design in the self-signal processing infraed detectors. The model is achived by employing the coupled thermoelectric equation which allows which allows the simultaneous investigation of the termal and electrical aspects of device behavior. The thermal limitation of detectivity and responsivity are determined by the enegy gap, carrier concentration, lifetime, and mobility as a function of the temperature. The calculated results indicate that the detectivity is decreased at bias fields above about 50 V/cm, because the performence is limiting by temperature when the bias voltage reached the level associated with Joule heating. It has been also found that the improvement in the mid-band modulation transfer function(MTF) may be restricted by increasing the bias fields. Further, the important paramerers in the thermal optimization of SPIR detector, such as temperature in the device, ambipolar velocity, element thickness and length, are also considered. The analytical study provides a mathematical basis for optimal design of such a photoconductive IR detector and the agreement between the experimental and theoretical results are seen to be good.

In this paper we design the robust impedance controller of the robot manipulator with time delay. The designed controller considers time delay in the position loop and stabilizes the closed-loop system. The performance of a controller can be easily degraded by external disturbances. To improve the performance when external disturbances exist, we use the disturbance observer to handle the disturbances in the velocity loop and provide robustness to the control system. To show the validity of the designed controller, several experiments are performed for the 5-DOF robot manipulator equipped with the wrist force/torque sensor system.
