This paper describes an algorithm for calculating load impedance by measuring voltage and current components using a VI sensor in a 13.56 MHz impedance automatic matching system. We propose an algorithm that improves the error rate by using an arbitrary complex calibration load instead of the conventional $50{\Omega}$ calibration load. The error rate is targeted to attain average values of $R_{IN}$ and $X_{IN}$ at 1% and 20% or less, respectively. First, the IF frequency is calculated using a mixer to reduce the error rate. Second, when the arbitrary complex load is used as the calibration load, the error rate $R_{IN}$ decreased from 4.7 % to 0.3 % on average, and $X_{IN}$ decreased from 102 % to 18.3 % on average.

This research presents the experimental and theoretical evaluations on circular steel-fiber-reinforced-concrete (SFRC) columns reinforced by glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) rebar under the axial compressive loading. Test programs were designed to investigate and compare the effect of different parameters on the structural behavior of columns by performing tests. Theses variables included conventional concrete (CC), fiber concrete (FC), steel/GFRP longitudinal rebars, and transversal rebars configurations. A total of 16 specimens were constructed and categorized into four groups in terms of different rebar-concrete configurations, including GFRP-rebar-reinforced-CC columns (GRCC), GFRP-rebar-reinforced-FC columns (GRFC), steel-rebar-reinforced-CC columns (SRCC) and steel-rebar- reinforced-FC columns (SRFC). Experimental observations displayed that failure modes and cracking patterns of four groups of columns were similar, especially in pre-peak branches of load-deflection curves. Although the average ultimate axial load of columns with longitudinal GFRP rebars was obtained by 17.9% less than the average ultimate axial load of columns with longitudinal steel rebars, the average axial ductility index (DI) of them was gained by 10.2% higher than their counterpart columns. Adding steel fibers (SFs) into concrete led to the increases of 7.7% and 6.7% of the axial peak load and the DI of columns than their counterpart columns with CC. The volumetric ratio had greater efficiency on peak loads and DIs of columns than the type of transversal reinforcement. A simple analytical equation was proposed to predict the axial compressive capacity of columns by considering the axial involvement of longitudinal GFRP rebars, volumetric ratio, and steel spiral/hoop rebar. There was a good correlation between test results and predictions of the proposed equation.

Crush energy characteristics of graphite/epoxy square tubes are experimentally studied. Effect of the ply orientation on the peak load and the average load is investigated by applying compressive load on the top of the composite square tubes under the stroke control with crosshead speed of 0.003mm/sec and 0.3mm/sec. in addition to the experimental survey, the finite element analysis is used to estimate the peak load of the composite square tubes with [0/90]₄ and [0/±45/90]₂. The first buckling mode of the tube is superimposed to the perfect geometry and the distributed compressive load is applied on the top of the tubes. The applied compressive load that make Tsai-Wu criteria equal to one is regarded as the peak load of the tubes. The experimental data shows that the square tube with [45/-45]₄ has the highest peak load and the square tube with [60/-60]₄ has the average sustained load. The measure peak load of the composite tubes with [0/90]₄ and [0/±45/90]₂agree well with the estimated peak load using the finite element analysis.

BP neural network model and multiple-regression model were composed for forecasting the special-days load. Special-days load was forecasted using that neural network model made use of pattern conversion ratio and multiple-regression made use of weekday-change ratio. This methods identified the suitable as that special-days load of short and long term was forecasted with the weekly average percentage error of 1∼2[%] in the weekly peak load forecasting model using pattern conversion ratio. But this methods were hard with special-days load forecasting of summertime. therefore it was forecasted with the multiple-regression models. This models were used to the weekday-change ratio, and the temperature-humidity and discomfort-index as explanatory variable. This methods identified the suitable as that compared forecasting result of weekday load with forecasting result of special-days load because months average percentage error was alike. And, the fit of the presented forecast models using statistical tests had been proved. Big difficult problem of peak load forecasting had been solved that because identified the fit of the methods of special-days load forecasting in the paper presented.

A distributed conference architecture with a new load control method has been suggested in this paper. A new event package in this paper enables to control conference load. Some additional elements for exchanging SIP messages between server and participants, and for distributing the load, have been added to new conference information data format. Furthermore to lessen the load, all conference servers share the processing of conference information data which should be transferred periodically to all participants. The suggested load control event package makes each server can get current load status of the overall servers. When load increases in one server SIP client requests are distributed by selecting a server which has the lowest load value, or new server is created to share the load. The performance of the proposed system has been evaluated by experiments. They shows 21.6% increase in average delay time, and 29.2% increase in average SIP message processing time.

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a modern approach for current computer and data networks. The increase in the number of business websites has resulted in an exponential growth in web traffic. To cope with the increased demands, multiple web servers with a front-end load balancer are widely used by organizations and businesses as a viable solution to improve the performance. In this paper, we propose a load-balancing mechanism for SDN. Our approach allocates web requests to each server according to its response time and the traffic volume of the corresponding switch port. The centralized SDN controller periodically collects this information to maintain an up-to-date view of the load distribution among the servers, and incoming user requests are redirected to the most appropriate server. The simulation results confirm the superiority of our approach compared to several other techniques. Compared to LBBSRT, round robin, and random selection methods, our mechanism improves the average response time by 19.58%, 33.94%, and 57.41%, respectively. Furthermore, the average improvement of throughput in comparison with these algorithms is 16.52%, 29.72%, and 58.27%, respectively.

The safety and the durability of the shock absorber as an automotive chassis part under the fatigue load can be predicted in this study. The fatigue life becomes constant from 0.5 to 0.75 at the change of load which is the amplitude load divided by average load. But its life is sharply decreased at the change of load from 0.75 to 1.5. The influence of fatigue life according to the change of load can be predicted by these results. As the value of maximum damage is 9.61 at the middle part of upper side on shock absorber under the concentrated load, there is the greatest possibility of destruction at this part. The spring of shock absorber becomes nearly the state of pure shear and the uniaxial or biaxial stress exists at the rest part of it under the fatigue load.

The power consumption in the low consistency (LC) refining is an important indicator for the optimal control of the process and it is composed of the net power and the no-load power. The refining efficiency and process characterization of LC refining are directly affected by power consumption. In this paper, the effect of pulp consistency and average fiber length on the power consumption and refining efficiency were studied through the LC refining trials conducted by an experimental disc refiner. It is found that the curve of power-gap clearance can be divided into constant power section, power reduction section, and power increase section. And the no-load power and the adjustable domain of loading applied by the refining plates will increase as the increase of pulp consistency, while the increase of net power is larger than that of no-load power which makes the increasing of refining efficiency. Meanwhile, the adjustable domain of loading applied by the refining plates can be slightly improved by increasing the average fiber length, but its effect on the no-load power in the LC refining process can be neglected. The study of power consumption in LC refining is of positive significance for the proper selection of pulp properties in LC refining, in-depth exploration of refining mechanism, and energy consumption reduction in refining.

A new control method for precision robust speed control of a PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) using load torque observer is presented. Using this system, we can more precisely evacuate of vestibular function. Until now a rotating chair system, so called 2D-stimulator, which has vertical rotate axis is used to make dizziness. However, an inclined rotating chair system witch is called 3D-stimulator is needed to obtain the precise dizziness data. This 3D-stimulator include unbalanced load caused by unbalanced center of mass. In this case, new compensation method is considered to obtain robust speed control using load torque observer. To reduce the effect of this disturbance, we can use dead-beat observer that has high gain. The application of the load to torque observer is published in for position control. However, there is a problem of using speed information such as amplifying effect of noise. Therefore, we can reduce a noise effect by moving average process. The experimental results are depicted in this paper to show the effect of this proposed algorithm.
