The dimensional accuracy and global roughness between successive layers of VLM-s, which is a new rapid prototyping process using hotwire cutter and EPS foam, depend significantly on the operating parameters of hotwire cutter. In the present study, the effect of cutting angle on the kerf width and edge shape in hotwire cutting of EPS foam for the case of single-sloped cutting with one cutting angle was investigated. Through single-sloped cutting tests, the modified relationship between kerf width and effective heat input, considering the effect of the cutting angle, and the relationship between the melted area and the cutting angle were obtained. In order to investigate the effect of cutting angles on the thermal field in EPS foam, transient heat transfer analyses using single-sloped volumetric heat flux model and locally-conformed mesh were performed. Through the comparison between experimental and numerical results, it was shown that the proposed analysis model is needed to estimate the three-dimensional temperature distribution of the EPS foam for the case of single-sloped hotwire cutting.

To develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting mold, we produced anti-mold polyclonal antibodies by immunizing extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) of Aspergillus flavus or Penicillium citrinum in rabbits subcutaneously. Using the purified antibody (Ab) and Ab-HRP conjugate, a sandwich ELISA for EPS was established. The standard curve of the ELISA showed the detection limit for P citrinum EPS to be $0.003{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$. The cross-reactivities of the anti-P citrinum EPS Ab toward components of P citrinum such as EPS, liquid, and solid culture mycelium were 100, 10.5, and 0.58%, respectively, and those toward components of A. flavus such as EPS, liquid and solid culture mycelium, and spore were 300, 0.67, 0.29, and 0%, respectively. When the reactivities toward culture broths of 59 mold strains were tested by the sandwich ELISA, most of the Aspergillus (16 of 18) and Penicillium (14 of 16) strains along with one of the two Cladosporium strains gave positive signals in the culture broths even when diluted 1,000 fold, while the rest of species such as Fusarium, Absidia, Alternaria, and Candida gave negative signals. When the water extracts of 30 corn samples were analyzed by the sandwich ELISA, the EPS in the com could be detected in the concentration range of $0.1-1.6{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/g$.

The behavior and influence of EPS on membrane fouling by changing of hydraulic retention time was investigated, using lab. scale submerged membrane bio-reactor, which was operated with gravitational filtration and fed supernatant of primary sedimentation in waste water treatment plant as influent. The membrane was adopted micro-filter of polyethylene hollow fiber. EPS was analysed as polysaccharides and protein especially, into soluble and bound EPS separately. The concentration of soluble EPS was increased at short HRT, then membrane fouling was rapidly progressed and flux was depressed. The most of EPS clogged membrane pore were polysaccharides, while protein was important parameter affected on membrane fouling because of it's more accumulating in the more term operating.

Membrane fouling at different solids retention times (SRT) (7, 12 and 20 days) was studied under well-controlled conditions in a laboratory-scale aerobic submerged membrane bioreactor under constant biomass concentration using a synthetic high strength wastewater. An increase in SRT was found to improve membrane performance and this correlated to changes in the total production of bound extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and the composition and properties of bound EPS using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and floc sizes. A larger amount of total bound EPS was found at the lowest SRT (7 days) tested but the ratio of proteins (PN) to carbohydrates (CH) in bound EPS increased with an increase in SRT. Similarly, the quantity of soluble microbial products (SMP) decreased with an increase in SRT and the SMP PN/CH ratio increased with an increase in SRT. SMP concentrations positively correlated to the percentage of membrane pore blocking resistance. The quantity of total bound EPS and total SMP positively corresponded to the membrane fouling rate, while the PN/CH ratio in the bound EPS and SMP negatively correlated to the membrane fouling rate. The results show that both the quantity and composition of bound EPS and SMP and floc sizes are important in controlling membrane fouling.

Power steering of a car plays a role that reduce driver's handle control power. Lately, it is operated using oil pressure by most engine power. However, it is tendency that electrically power steering (EPS) is used recently instead of oil pressure type more for environmental and economical reason. In this paper SRM is designed and analyzed for EPS application.

This paper presents a design and characteristics analysis of an SRM drive for EPS application. A rack mounted EPS system is considered in this paper. In the unrestricted design conditions, motor parameters are determined for sufficient torque and speed with some restrictions. For the smooth torque generation and simple circuit of power system, 12/8 motor drive is considered. With FEM and magnetic circuit analysis, redesigned motor is simulated to meet the requirement of specifications. Effectiveness of the suggested SRM drive for EPS application is verified by redesigned motor drive tests.

EPS는 일반적으로 블록형태로 제조되어 토목공사에 이용되고 있으며, 재료특성상 초경량성 및 내압축성을 가지며 자립안정성이 우수하므로 연약지반상 성토재로 적용한 경우 침하 및 측방유동에 대한 대책공법으로 적용되고 있다. 현재 국내에서는 보온 재료로서의 시험 방법 및 품질 규정만이 KS에 규정되어 있고, 공학적 성토 재료로서 활용하기 위한 기준이 확립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 도로공사의 시험시공 및 제조사의 품질시험을 통하여 EPS 설계 기준을 마련하여 적용하고 있는데, 이것들은 주로 재료의 공장제품 즉, 새 제품에 국한되어 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 EPS 장기내구성에 주안점을 두어 교대측방유동 대책공법으로 EPS가 적용된 시공현장에서 채취한 EPS시료와 공장제품에 대해 반복재하시험, 동결융해시험, 흡수율시험 등을 통하여 공학적인 장기내구성을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 일축압축시험은 채취시료가 공장제품에 비해서 강도가 다소 작게 나타났으며, 삼축압축시험에서 채취시료와 공장제품 모두 일축압축 시험결과에서와 같이 구속응력은 축방향 변형량에 선형비례하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 응력-변형률 관계곡선의 양상은 구속압과 상관없이 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

제한통성 메탄올 자호세균인 Methylovorus sp. strain SS1은 최적 성장 조건하에서는 소량의 세포외 다당류(EPS)를 생산하였지만, 질소원이 결핍된 성장 조건하에서는 성장속도는 느렸지만 다량의 EPS를 생산하였다. EPS는 배지내의 탄소대 질소 비율이 5.2일 때 가장 많이 생산되었다. EPS 생산을 위한 최적 온도는 30^{\circ}C.$이고 최적 pH는 6.5였다. EPS는 탄수화물과 단백질 및 약간의 피루브산으로 구성되어 있었고, 환원당으로는 다량의 포도당과 소량의 mannose가 존재하였다. 에탄올을 처리한 EPS(EPSae)에는 에탄올을 처리하지 않은 EPS(EPSbe)에 존재하던 피루브산이 존재하지 않았고, EPS보다 단백질의 양도 적고 점성도 낮았다. EPSbe의 점성은 NaCl에 의해 큰 영향을 받았는데, 0.5%(w/v) 농도의 NaCl 용액에서도 점성이 크게 떨어졌으며, 높은 온도에서는 점성이 비가역적으로 크게 증가하였다. Gel filtration 방법으로 조사한 EPSae의 분자량은 $2.5{\times}$10^6$ - $3.5{\times}$10^6$이었다. 냉동건조한 다당류를 전자현미경으로 관찰하였을 때, EPSbe는 섬유모양을 하였고, EPSae는 벌집모양의 망상구조를 하고 있었다.
