Problems that satisfy various constraints while maintaining weight balance in ships or aircraft were studied. In addition, a study was conducted to solve the problem with a mathematical method under the condition that the shape and weight of the load are the same and the m×n (m and n are all odd) mesh structures. The problem is that the existing mathematical weight balancing method is not suitable for circular structures. In this paper, we studied the load stowing problem in a circular space where objects are loaded at the vertices of N equilateral polygons. Assuming that all N conformal polygons have an even number of angles, it was proved that a loading method that always maintains weight balance regardless of the variety of number of loads. By providing the structure and loading method of the drone loading ship, we showed that our method was appropriate.

The clustering environment with heterogeneous workstations provides the cost effectiveness and usability for executing applications in parallel. Load balancing is considered a necessary feature for a cluster of heterogeneous workstations to minimize the turnaround time. Previously, static load balancing that assigns a predetermined weight for the processing capability of each workstation, or dynamic approaches which execute a benchmark program to get relative processing capability of each workstation were proposed. The execution of the benchmark program, which has nothing to do with the application being executed, consumes the computation time and the overall turnaround time is delayed. In this paper, we present efficient methods for task distribution and task migration, based on the relative load index. We designed and implemented a load balancing system for the clustering environment with heterogeneous workstations. Turnaround times of our methods and the round-robin approach, as well as the load balancing method using a benchmark program, were compared. The experimental results show that our methods outperform all the other methods that we compared.

The clustering environment with heterogeneous workstations provides the cost effectiveness and usability for executing applications in parallel. The load balancing is considered as a necessary feature for the clustering of heterogeneous workstations to minimize the turnaround time. Since each workstation may have different users, groups. requests for different tasks, and different processing power, the capability of each processing unit is relative to the others' unit in the clustering environment Previous works is a static approach which assign a predetermined weight for the processing capability of each workstation or a dynamic approach which executes a benchmark program to get relative processing capability of each workstation. The execution of the benchmark program, which has nothing to do with the application being executed, consumes the computation time and the overall turnaround time is delayed. In this paper, we present an efficient task distribution method and implementation of load balancing system for the clustering environment with heterogeneous workstations. Turnaround time of the methods presented in this paper is compared with the method without load balancing as well as with the method load balancing with performance evaluation program. The experimental results show that our methods outperform all the other methods that we compared.

This paper proposes HWbF(Hit and WLC based Firewall) design which consists of an PFS(Packet Filter Station) and APS(Application Proxy Station). PFS is designed to reduce bottleneck and to prevent the transmission delay of them by distributing packets with PLB(Packet Load Balancing) module, and APS is designed to manage a proxy cash server by using PCSLB(Proxy Cash Server Load Balancing) module and to detect a DoS attack with packet traffic quantity. Therefore, the proposed HWbF in this paper prevents packet transmission delay that was a drawback in an existing Firewall, diminishes bottleneck, and then increases the processing speed of the packet. Also, as HWbF reduce the 50% and 25% of the respective DoS attack error detection rate(TCP) about average value and the fixed critical value to 38% and 17%. with the proposed expression by manipulating the critical value according to the packet traffic quantity, it not only improve the detection of DoS attack traffic but also diminishes the overload of a proxy cash server.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of regularly strength exercise of spine in teenagers with tutor. Method: Study subjects were 24 middle school students. They were arranged to 2 groups(n=12, respectively). Then experimental group did regularly strength exercise of spine as the handout maneuver during 50min/day and 1day/week in 8 weeks with tutor, but control group did regularly exercise of spine as same maneuver without tutor. For muscle strength of both extensor and flexor of lumbar, the balancing ability and weight distribution index were measured before and after the intervention. Results: For muscle strength of both extensor and flexor of lumbar, there was not significant differences after the intervention, but both flexor and extensor increase mean value of muscle strength than control group. For balancing ability and weight distribution index, there were not significant difference after intervention(p>.05), but experimental group show a tendency to decrease in a few position than control group. Conclusion: When teenagers regularly exercise for spine strengthening for a long time with tutor, it may be increased muscle strength of lumbar and trunk balance.

This paper contains impulsive maneuver which considers fuel consumption balance of chief satellite and deputy satellite in satellite formation flying. Thrust input is obtained by Lagrange' Multiplier method which is constructed by cost function with weight parameter of each satellite. Energy matching constraint is applied for boundedness of relative orbit, and theoretical solutions are verified by simulation results. Simulations are divided into two scenarios, with or without air-drag effect. This paper's results are expected to be used in real satellite formation flying, when fuel-balancing impulsive maneuver for relative orbit boundedness is needed.

In this paper, a new steering system for a self-balancing electric scooter is proposed with an intuitive steering command input method, where the steering command is generated from the rider's motion of shifting body to move the center of gravity toward the rotational direction. For the purpose, weight distributions on the rider's feet are measured using force sensors placed beneath the rider's feet, and the difference is applied to a steering control system. Stability of the steering system and resultant radius of gyration is investigated by modeling the steering system in consideration of the rider's motion and centrifugal force. The proposed steering system is applied to experiments, and the results are presented to prove the validity of the proposed method.

An industrial vibratory conveyor system is devised for large-scale feeding by the low-power, using natural frequency of the system. The important thing in this system is to determine the natural frequency and to drive by it. The purpose of this study is to build up reliance on the system with changing of element parameters for vibration characteristics of balancing type vibratory conveyor by using F.E.M. modeling. For investigating the natural frequency, modal testing is performed by using impact hammer, accelerometer and LMS/Vibration Analysis System. Experimental results are compared with F.E.M results. The results of the comparisons within the errors of less than 2 percent can verify the reliability of the F.E.M. analysis of the system. Also we can verify that the characteristics of natural frequency have linearly decreased(-6%) as adding the mass($50{\sim}600kg$). We can find that controlling driving frequency is necessary for triggering the natural frequency, but natural frequency is less affected by adding the mass on the balancing weight.

This paper focuses on the zero-voltage/zero current transition voltage equalization circuit for the series connected battery cell. By adding auxiliary resonant cells at the main switching devices such as MOSFET or IGBT, zero current switching is achieved and turned off loss of switching elements is eliminated and by the voltage/second balancing of the inductor, zero voltage switching can be applied to switching element. Transformer coupling between battery cells and ZVZCT (Zero Voltage Zero Current Transition) switching method allow the fast balancing speed and high frequency operation, which reduces the size and weight of the circuit. The validity of the battery equalization is further verified using simulation involving four lithium-ion battery cell models.

For the purpose of high outlet pressure, compactness and low vibration and noise, 2 stage reciprocating air compressors can have various cylinder arrangement: opposed, in-line, and V type. This paper presents an effective method to calculate the inertia forces and to design counter weight. This method is based on the complex representation for the orbital behavior of the compressor shaft. This method helps to find the optimal balancing rate easily to reduce the inertial force or moment. This paper shows that the residual inertia forces of the single throw shafts and the residual inertia moments of the double throw shafts remain to be imbalanced.
