The requirements of coil spring fer higher fatigue strength have been increased to achieve the weight reduction of a vehicle. As the possible increase in fatigue strength by using the conventional shot peening treatment is found to be limited, it is necessary to modify the shot peening treatment. The warm shot peening is a shot peening treatment carried out within warm temperature range. The aim of this paper is to analyze some experimental results concerned with the effect of warm shot peening and to discuss the mechanism of warm shot peening in detail. By the results of rotating bending fatigue test, the fatigue strength of test specimen increases up to 23.8% in the production condition of warm shot peening at 200$\^{C}$ compared with conventional shot peening. The major reason why the warm shot peening is effective to the improvement of fatigue strength is the increase of a compressive residual stress distribution, which can be caused by more effective deformation under the condition of warm temperature.

Endovaginal and endorectal receiver only surface coil were designed for MR imaging(MRI) and $^1H$ MR spectroscopy(MRS) for the uterine cervix and the prostate. The shape of endovaginal coil wire was rectangular with round comer. The shape of endorectal coil wire was long elliptic shape during insertion and circular shape after insertion. Conventional spin echo and fast spin echo sequences were used as T1 and T2 weighted imaging sequences, respectively. 3D volume localized in vivo $^1H$ MR spectroscopy of the human cervix and prostate was performed using PRESS or STEAM localization method. Using home-built endvaginal and endorectal coils, excellent T1 and T2 images were obtained to visualize early cervical and prostate tumors. 3D volume localized in vivo $^1H$ MRS was useful to differentiate the cancerous tissue from the normal tissue.

An induction heating (IH) resonant converter, as well as its coil design method, is proposed in this study to improve the heat capability of low- and high-resistance IH vessels. Conventional IH resonant converters have been designed only for heating high-resistance containers designed for IH application. Thus, the primary current in the resonant tank becomes extremely high to transfer the rated power when the converter heats the low-resistance vessel. As a result, the rated power cannot be transferred due to overcurrent flows against the rated switch current. Hence, the optimal number of coil turns and proper operating frequency to heat high- and low-resistance vessels are proposed in this study by analyzing an IH load model. Simulation and experimental results using a 2.4 kW prototype resonant converter and its IH coil validate the proposed design.

A coupled magnetic resonance system (CMRS) using compact coil sets with core driven by a class-E inverter was proposed. The source and load coils of conventional CMRS were replaced with two coils containing core so that the system can be quite compact in size and easy to design due to a resonance frequency for all resonant tanks regardless of coupling factor. Experiments for 500 kHz switching frequency show 40% system efficiency.

This paper proposes a looperless tension control algorithm which is robust to disturbance and tensional variation in rolling process using SVR(Support Vector Regression). Hot rolling process which is global technology to coil steel after continuous finishing process for welded bars followed by roughing mill process, becomes hot issue. Finishing mill process not only makes it possible to produce ultra thin steel strip(0.8 mm) but enhance the quality of terminals of coil, which increases the productivity due to faster process. Constant tension control between stands in hot rolling process is essential to enhance the quality of steel. Sensorless tension control is under research by some advanced companies to replace the conventional tension control method because in continuous finishing mill process, it is impossible to install the looper used in conventional control system. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Generally superconducting generators(S. G.'s) will be classified into 2 types according to their field coil shape. The first one is race-trace type and the other is saddle type. Race-track type S.G.'s have almost the same structure with conventional salient pole generators which are being used as largely small scale machines with more than 4 poles. On the other hand saddle type S.G.'s correspond to conventional cylindrical generators with 2 poles used for large turbines in power plants. In this paper 1MVA S.G. with saddle type field coil is electromagnetically designed and based on the research results from development of 30kVA S.G. with race-track type field oils in our group. other parts such as cooling systems and power leads are presented.

Many nuclear power plants have experienced unscheduled shutdown due to the leakage of steam generator tubes. The leakages are normally due to the crack, possibly stress corrosion cracking (SCC) near the tube expansion at the top of tubesheet or at the tangential point of the row-1 U-bend region. The conventional eddy current technique, which makes use of a differential bobbin coil, has been found to be inadequate for the early detection of SCC. During the in-service inspection, therefore, it is a general practice that the rotating pancake coil (RPC) is used for detecting the cracks. Even in using RPC, however, it is difficult to determine the depth of the cracks quantitatively. This paper attempts to determine the detectability and sizing ability of RPC technique for axial or circumferential cracks at the tube expansion region. The simulated cracks with various dimensions were fabricated by electro-discharge machining (EDM) method. Experimental results are discussed with theoretical calculations.

The state feedback-based position controller for the voice coil motor(VCM) used in precise automated manufacturing processes is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The proposed controller has advantage over the conventional cascade-type P-PI controller in terms of the gain selection and the controller interference. The feasibility of the presented idea is verified by experimental results on a designed VCM.

The object of this experimental study is to investigate the effect on frost prevention and delay by the method of alternating the function of outdoor coil rows under the frost conditions ($2^{\circ}C/1^{\circ}C$). The heat pump system with the new method can make frost delay time longer and eliminate frost effectively. It is withstand over 280 minutes without a conventional defrosting method. Maximum COP in case of adopting new method is 13% higher than that in case of reverse cycle defrosting method. Also in case of moving air injection duct faster, the frost delay time is lengthened and its COP is enhanced more.
