This paper combines fuzzy concepts with an existing dynamic performance isolation technique in order to improve the response time performance of a Web server supporting differentiated services. A load balancing mechanism based on the fuzzy control technique is developed in such a way that ambiguous situations caused by workload estimation of cluster-based Web servers, client request rates, and dynamic request rates can be represented in an effective way. In addition, we verify that the fuzzy-based performance isolation technique improves the performance and robustness of differentiated service systems efficiently through comparing 95-percentile of response time between the fuzzy-based Performance isolation technique and the existing one, which do not use the fuzzy concept.

Flow divider valve, a kind of hydraulic control valve to divide the flow from one input line to two output line uniformly, should be able to keep the constant flow to output lines despite of the change load or supply pressure. Having 5-10% flow diving error in commercial hydraulic products is one of main source of the accumulated error caused hydraulic system problem and demands the development of flow divider valve to control flow more accurately, In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of flow divider valve are investigated by the numerical estimation of the spool motion considered the external supply force. The optimum design of flow divider valve are proposed to reduce the flow diving error. For the dynamic characteristics analysis, the change of sectional area of fixed and variable orifice, and spool are studied when the input signal is accepted to a constant load.

In this study the modal characteristics and responses of an asymmetric structure with added viscoelastic dampers were investigated for design parameters such as eccentricity of stiffness and added dampers, the loss factor of the damping materials used. For modal characteristics, variation of the quantities such as natural frequencies, modal damping ratios, modal participation factors, and dynamic amplification factors were observed, and displacements at flexible and stiff edges, and at center of mass were obtained. Based on the results, the problem of the optimum damper distribution to minimize the torsional effects was addressed, and the proposed method for optimum damper distribution was applied to a multi-story structure to verify the applicability Finally the effect of viscous and viscoelastic dampers were compared by varying the loss factor of the viscoelastic material.

This paper proposes integrated chassis control (ICC) with electronic stability control (ESC) and active rear steering (ARS). Direct yaw moment control is used to generate a control yaw moment. A weighted pseudo-inverse-based control allocation (WPCA) method is adopted to distribute the control yaw moment into tire forces, generated by ESC and ARS. Simulation-based tuning of variables weights in the WPCA is used to enhance the yaw moment distribution performance. Simulations using the vehicle simulation software $CarSim^{(R)}$ show that the proposed ICC is effective in improving maneuverability and lateral stability.

We present a ternary microfluidic multiplexer unit, capable to address three flow channels using a pair of control lines with two different threshold pressure valves. The previous binary multiplexer unit addresses only two flow channels using a pair of control line with identical threshold pressure valves, thus addressing $2^{n/2}$ flow channels using n control lines. The present ternary multiplexer addressing three flow channels using a pair of control lines, however, is capable to address $3^{n/2}$ flow channels using n control lines with two different threshold pressure valves. In the experimental study, we characterized the threshold pressure and the response time of the valves used in the ternary multiplexer. From the experimental observation, we also verified that the present ternary multiplexer unit could be operated by two equivalent valve operating conditions: the different static pressures and dynamic pressures at different duty ratio. And then, $3{\times}3$ well array stacking ternary multiplexers in serial is addressed in cross and plus patterns, thus demonstrating the individual flow channel addressing capability of the ternary multiplexer. Thus, the present ternary multiplexer reduces the number of control lines for addressing flow channels, achieving the high well control efficiency required for simple and compact microfluidic systems.

This paper describes a fault-tolerant driving control strategy for an independent steer-by-wire system in sixwheel-drive/six-wheel-steering vehicles. An algorithm has been designed to realize vehicle maneuverability that is as close as possible to that of non-faulty vehicles by inducing high slip ratio of the wheel through a faulty steer-by-wire system in order to reduce the lateral tire force, which is resistant to the yaw motion. Considering the transition of the longitudinal tire force of a wheel with a faulty steer-by-wire component, the longitudinal tire forces are optimally distributed to the other wheels. Fault-tolerant driving performance has been investigated via computer simulations. Simulation studies show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the maneuverability of a vehicle with a faulty steer-by-wire system as compared to the optimal traction distribution method.

This paper presents unified chassis control (UCC) to improve the vehicle lateral stability. The unified chassis control implies combined control of active front steering (AFS), electronic stability control (ESC) and continuous damping control (CDC). A direct yaw moment controller based on a 2-D bicycle model is designed by using sliding mode control law. A direct roll moment controller based on a 2-D roll model is designed. The computed direct yaw moment and the direct roll moment are generated by AFS, ESP and CDC control modules respectively. A control authority of the AFS and the ESC is determined by tire slip angle. Computer simulation is conducted to evaluate the proposed integrated chassis controller by using the Matlab, simulink and the validated vehicle simulator. From the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed unified chassis control can provide with improved performance over the modular chassis control.

위상배열 안테나 시스템에서 빔 제어 기술은 이동통신 및 위성통신시스템, 비행하고 있는 임의의 비행체의 위치를 고도의 정확도를 가지고 추적하는 군사용 레이더 시스템이나 항공사의 통신 시스템, 선박이나 차량간의 충돌을 방지하기 위한 충돌방지 시스템 등에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 위상배열 안테나 시스템에서 위상천이기를 이용하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 이 방법은 원리적으로 간단하지만 실제 구현할 때 위상천이기를 제어하기 위한 제어 신호와 DC 바이어스 라인들 그리고 전력분배기로 구성되어 있기 때문에 전체 회로가 복잡해진다. 뿐만 아니라 현재로서는 위상천이기의 가격과 삽입 손실 때문에 저렴하고 높은 이을 갖는 위상 배열 안테나 시스템을 구현하기가 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 위상천이기를 사용하지 않고 발진기들의 결합을 이용함으로써 이와 같은 단점을 극복하면서 배열 안테나의 복사 빔을 제어할 수 있는 결합발진기 배열 안테나의 최근 기술동향을 분석하고 여러 기술들의 장단점을 기술한다.

한국천문연구원에서는 우주물체 전자광학 감시체계(OWL: Optical Wide-field Patrol) 구축사업을 통해 북반구 3개소와 남반구 2개소에 0.5m급 관측시설을 설치, 운영할 계획이다. 이 시설은 국적위성과 우주잔해물을 감시하여 궤도정보를 획득하는 것을 목적으로 한다. OWL 관측소는 관측, 자료처리 등 일련의 과정을 자동으로 수행하는 무인감시 시스템이기 때문에 각종 기기들에 대한 전원 제어와 네트워크 연결, 작업 상태 확인 등 관측과 관련된 제반사항 역시 모두 자동으로 이루어진다. 따라서 이들 기기들에 대한 전원 제어 및 네트워크 연결은, 관측소 운용 측면에서 뿐만 아니라 향후 유지 관리를 고려할 때 단순화시켜야할 필요가 있다. 우리는 이 발표를 통해 완전개폐형 돔과 OWL 관측소에 설치될 서브시스템 및 주요 기기들에 대한 전원분배, 제어, 네트워크 연결, 그리고 사이트 보드를 통한 이종 인터페이스 통합에 관한 내용을 소개한다.
