Providing a uniform velocity distribution at the inlet of the experimental flume through removing eddies, air bubbles, swirling flow and excessive velocity fluctuations as quickly and efficiently as possible is very important for the accurate reproduction and measurement of both flow velocity and phenomenon in the test reach. In this study, the flow straightener (FS) using multiple parallel PC (ploycarbonate) tubes was developed to increase the accuracy of flow measurement by quickly eliminating excessive velocity fluctuations and air bubbles. It was confirmed through a series of hydraulic experiments that FS using PC tubes can reduce the turbulence intensity (TI) by nearly half under all experimental configurations. The FS of PC tubes with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 0.3 m can reduce the TI by more than 60% and the value can be maintained at about 2.4% that is in common at the inlet cross-section of the experimental flume. When the tube length is 0.3 m, the magnitude of TI decreases linearly as the tube diameter decreases, and it is desirable to keep the tube diameter at 20 mm to provide a definite flow conditioning effect. Small air bubbles formed at high flow conditions are found to grow in size and quickly rise to the free surface at the rising velocity of about 0.24 m/s due to increased buoyancy as they pass through the tubes. The removal function of air bubbles was not sensitive to the diameter and length of the PC tubes.

Parallel architecture based on the von Neumann computation model has a limitation as a massively parallel architecture due to its inherent drawback of architectural features. The data-flow model of computation has a high programmability in software perspective and high scalability in hardware perspective. However, the practical programming and experimentaion of date-flow architectures are hardly available due to the absence of practical data-flow, we present a programming environment for performing the data-flow computation on conventional parallel machines in general, loosely compled multiprocessor system in particular. We build an emulator for tagged token data-flow architecture on the iPSC/2 hypercube, a loosely coupled multiprocessor system. The emulator is a shallow layer of software executing on an iPSC/2 system, and thus makes the iPSC/2 system work as a data-flow architecture from the programmer`s viewpoint. We implement various numerical and non-numerical algorithm in a data-flow assembler language, and then compare the performance of the program with those of the versions of conventional C language, Consequently, We verify the effectiveness of this programming environment based on the emulator in experimenting the data-flow computation on a conventional parallel machine.

The three-dimensional structure of detonation wave propagating in a circular tube was investigated using a parallel computational code developed previously. A series of parametric study for a circular tube of a fixed diameter gave the formation mechanism of the detonation cell structures depending on pre-exponential factor, k. The unsteady results in three-dimension showed the mechanisms of two, three and four cell mode of detonation wave front structures. The detonation cell number was increased but cell width and length were decreased with increased pre-exponential factor k. In the all multi-cell mode, the detonation wave structure and smoked-foil records on the wall are made by the moving of transverse waves. The detonation wave front structures have the regular polygon and windmill shapes periodically.

In this paper, we propose an optical correlator system using volume holograms for database of matched filters. Optical correlator has high speed and parallel processing characteristics of optics. Matched filters are recorded into a volume hologram that can store data with high density, transfer them with high speed, and select a randomly chosen data element. The multiple reference images of database are prerecorded in a photorefractive crystal in the form of Fourier transform images, simply by passing the image displayed in a spatial light modulator through a Fourier transform lens. The angular multiplexing method for multiple holograms of database can be achieved by rotating the crystal by use of a step motor. Experimental results show that the proposed system can be used for the fingerprint recognition.

We propsoed a multiplexed optical correlation filter method for an optical parallel addition based on symbolic substitution. In the proposed mthod, we used redundant binary number which was easy to minimize the number of the symbolic substitution rules. We chose MACE filter which had very low sidelobes and good correlation peak compared with SDF filter as the optical correlation recognition filter and encoded input numbers properly to increase the discrimination capability. In order to minimize the number of symbolic substitution rules, sixteen input patterns were divided into six groups of the same addition results and six filters for recognizing the input patterns were used. these filters were multiplexed in two MMACE filter planes and the corresponding substitution method was proposed. Through the computer simulation, we confirmed the proposed method was suitable to implement the optical parallel adder.

In this paper, we propose a time constant control method for sieving local minimum problem of the multiuser detector using Hopfield neural network for synchronous multi-rate code division multiple access(CDMA) system in selective fading environments and its performance is compared with that of the parallel interference cancellation(PIC). We also assume that short scrambling codes of 256 chip length are used an uplink, suggest a simple correlation estimation algorithm and circuit complexity reduction method by using cyclostationarity property of short scrambling code.It is verified that multiuser detector using Hopfield neural network more efficiently cancels multiple access interference(MAI) and obtain better bit error rate and near-far resistant than conventional detector.

Calibration gas mixtures were prepared using dynamic volumetric method according to ISO 6145-5 and the uncertainty was evaluated. Ten identical capillaries with 0.25 mm in inner diameter and 50 cm in length were applied in this system. Dilution ratio of parent gas was determined by the number of capillaries that passes parent gas and that passes balance gas through. Capillaries were made of Teflon which had good chemical stability against adsorption of gaseous substances. Mechanical valves were introduced in this system in order to minimize the thermal effect of solenoid valves. Concentration of prepared gases were compared with master grade standard gases in cylinders made by RiGAS Co. and calibration of the instrument were completed using comparison method according to ISO 6143. Experimental results showed that the coefficient of variance of diluted oxygen standard gases showed less then 0.2% in most dilution range, that of diluted hydrogen sulfide standard gases showed less then 1.0%. Therefore, it is proven that the standard gases prepared by this system are appropriate to be used as a calibration standards in ambient monitoring, etc.
