Recently, number of smart material are investigated and widely used in civil construction and other industries. Present study investigates the application of smart semi-active piezoelectric friction damper (PFD) made with piezoelectric material for the seismic control of the horizontally curved bridge isolated with lead rubber bearing (LRB). The main aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of hybrid system and to find out the optimum parameters of PFD for seismic control of the curved bridge. The selected curved bridge is a continuous three-span concrete box girder supported on pier and rigid abutment. The PFD is located between the deck and abutments or piers in chord and radial directions. The bridge is excited with four different earthquake ground motions with all three components (i.e. two horizontal and a vertical) having different characteristics. It is observed that the use of semi-active PFD with LRB is quite effective in controlling the response of the curved bridge as compared with passive system. The incorporation of the smart damper requiring small amount of energy in addition with an isolation system can be used for effective control the curved bridge against the dynamic loading.

In this paper, an effective method for selecting significant input variables in building ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) for nonlinear system modeling is proposed. Dominant inputs in a nonlinear system identification process are extracted by evaluating the performance index and they are applied to ANFIS. The availability of our proposed model is verified with the Box and Jenkins gas furnace data. The comparisons with other methods are also given in this paper to show our proposed method is superior to other models.

As post-harvest processes of onions are carried by a 20 kg-net package which results in high-cost and low-efficiency, especially, the insufficient drying and physical damage of onions after harvesting leads to a huge second loss in storage, we had developed a low-cost, high-efficiency post-harvest bulk handling machinery system by collecting onions on a farm using ton-bags, drying with forced air circulation, and sorting/packaging. The post-harvest bulk handling machinery system consisted of 6 devices, and this study designed an automatic feed hopper with a feeding rate control device, an inclined belt conveyor with a two-step chute, and an automatic pallet unloading device for feeding onions into the sorting/packing line. This study also analyzed the performance and control of the total system. The device had 1-ton handling capacity, but the operational condition was set to increase the capacity. The three-step filling method of pallet by the velocity control of the inclined belt conveyor was applied in the post-harvest bulk handling machinery system for the prevention of physical damage. If one worker was set to operate the total system, the time required to complete one palletized load was approximately 5 minutes and 5 seconds. The calculated daily handling capacity was approximately 94 tons, when the daily actual working time was 8 hours. When the developed system was applied to the managerial size of 2,000 ton, the processing cost per ton of the system was decreased by 19.5%, compared with the existing 20 kg-net package-based handling. The developed post-harvest bulk handling machinery system would be a good substitute for the rapid decline and aging of rural labor.

This paper presents the result of a study on the starter control for a turbo generator. Because a starter in gear box type turbo-generator system is composed of gearbox and brush DC motor, it should be replaced with High Speed Generator(HSG)) in HSG type Turbo-generator. There-ore, it is necessary to design a new starting algorithm and starter. In gearbox type system, brush DC motor is rotated to the designed speed using low voltage-high current battery power. After brush DC motor speed is increased to several times by gearbox, gas turbine engine can be rotated to designed starting speed. If we implement a starter with High Speed Generator(HSG), it is necessary to drive high-speed generator to high-speed motor. High-speed generator with permanent magnet on rotor has a low leakage inductance fur driving high-speed rotation, and it is necessary high DC link voltage for inverter when High-speed generator is driven to high speed. This paper presents result of development of the boost converter for converting high voltage DC from low battery voltage and design of the inverter for controlling a high frequency current to be injected to motor winding. Also, we show performance of the designed starter by driving the turbo generator.

A soilless culture system with the precise control of nutrient solution was developed and the time changes of ionic contribution to EC reading was analyzed. The measuring device designed was able to wash electrodes cleanly and to measure the pH and EC of nutrient solution stably in the box. The nutrient supply system using metering device was also able to control the EC and pH within ${\pm}0.05mS/cm$ and ${\pm}0.05$, respectively. Under the EC control, activity coefficients of all ions decreased with time as ionic concentrations of $SO_4$, Mg and Ca increased due to the selective nutrient absorption by plants. Time changes of ionic contribution to EC reading could be calculated using equivalent ionic conductivities and activity coefficients obtained by numerical analysis.

Permission delegation is an important research issue in access control. It allows a user to delegate some of his permissions to others to reduce his workload, or enables others to complete some tasks on his behalf when he is unavailable to do so. As an ideal solution for controlling read access on outsourced data objects on the cloud, Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) has attracted much attention. Some existing CP-ABE schemes handle the read permission delegation through the delegation of the user's private key to others. Still, these schemes lack the further consideration of granularity and traceability of the permission delegation. To this end, this article proposes a flexible and fine-grained CP-ABE key delegation approach that supports white-box traceability. In this approach, the key delegator first examines the relations between the data objects, read permission thereof that he intends to delegate, and the attributes associated with the access policies of these data objects. Then he chooses a minimal attribute set from his attributes according to the principle of least privilege. He constructs the delegation key with the minimal attribute set. Thus, we can achieve the shortest delegation key and minimize the time of key delegation under the premise of guaranteeing the delegator's access control requirement. The Key Generation Center (KGC) then embeds the delegatee's identity into the key to trace the route of the delegation key. Our approach prevents the delegatee from combining his existing key with the new delegation key to access unauthorized data objects. Theoretical analysis and test results show that our approach helps the KGC transfer some of its burdensome key generation tasks to regular users (delegators) to accommodate more users.

In this paper, we have designed a Fingerprint Recognition System based on the Embedded LINUX. The fingerprint is captured using the AS-S2 semiconductor sensor. To extract a feature vector we transform the image of the fingerprint into a column vector. The image is row-wise filtered with the low-pass filter of the Haar wavelet. The feature vectors of the different fingerprints are compared by computing with the probabilistic neural network the distance between the target feature vector and the stored feature vectors in advance. The system implemented consists of a server PC based on the LINUX and a client based on the Embedded LINUX. The client is a Tynux box-x board using a PXA-255 CPU. The algorithm is simple and fast in computing and comparing the fingerprints.
