This paper describes current controlled PWM technique of IPM synchronous motors for a wide variety of speed control applications. The IPM synchronous motors have a saliency, in which the q-axis inductance is larger than the d-axis inductance. As a consequence, there exists a reluctance torque component Thus when this component is added to the torque component produced by the stator currents and the air-gap flux, IPM motor drives are readily applicable where full torque Is required up to full or base speed. They are however limited in their ability to operate in the power limited regime where the available torque is reduced as the speed is increased above its base value. This paper reviews the operation of the IPMSM drives when they are constrained to be within the permissible envelope of maximum inverter voltage and current to produce the rated power and to provide this with the highest attainable rotor speed. The wide variety of speed control strategy is analyzed and the performance is investigated by the computer simulation using actual parameters of a drive system. Simulation results are given and discussed.

In this paper, an integrated approach is proposed to generate gouging-free Cartesian tool paths for machining sculptured surfaces from 3D measurement data. The integrated CAD/CAM system consists of two modules : offset surface module an Carteian tool path module. The offset surface module generates an offset surface of an object from its 3D measurement data, using an offsetting method and a surface fitting method. The offsetting is based on the idea that the envelope of an inversed tool generates an offset surface without self-intersection as the center of the inversed tool moves along on the surface of an object. The surface-fitting is the process of constructing a compact representation to model the surface of an object based on a fairly large number of data points. The resulting offset surtace is a composite Bezier surface without self-intersection. When an appropriate tool-approach direction is selected, the tool path module generates the Cartesian tool paths while the deviation of the tool paths from the surface stays within the user-specified tolerance. The tool path module is a two-step process. The first step adaptively subdivides the offset surface into subpatches until the thickness of each subpatch is small enough to satisfy the user-defined tolerance. The second step generates the Cartesian tool paths by calculating the intersection of the slicing planes and the adaptively subdivided subpatches. This tool path generation approach generates the gouging-free Cartesian CL tool paths, and optimizes the cutter movements by minimizing the number of interpolated points.

The purpose of this study is to accomplished an in-site evaluation method for existing building insulation status using Infra-red camera and to consider improvement performance to prevent condensation and draw the optimum insulation design method for building using simulation tool. The research contents of this study are to evaluate validity and suitability of building insulation defect survey using Infra-red camera for apartment housing with temperature and heat flow pattern analyze method. Based on this research, the three corners, weak part in condensation, were selected in apartment building and conducted simulation by three-dimensional steady state. From the results, it is required to strengthen insulation design, and it is founded that existing insulation system typically applied to most Korean apartment housings have serious insulation defect that insulation is disconnected by structural components at the joints of wall-slab and wall-wall in envelope. Thus, it is considerate to need a concrete technology improvement.

Ventilation through air vent system in a building envelope is expected to be an effective measure to release solar radiation. An external surface of a wall absorbs solar radiation and transfers it to the air in the cavity. The warmed air gets buoyant force. So when openings are provided at the top and bottom of the cavity, the warmed air is released through the top opening and cooler outside air replaces the space in the cavity. This reduces the further heat transmission into the built environment. This natural ventilation effect seems to be steady and strong. So because of the cavity and the openings, the cooling load reduction by natural ventilation is believed to be considerable.

This study is on the analysis of power output of transparent thin-film PV windows which are integrated into the building envelope instead of traditional windows. 3 installation angles of vertical, horizontal and $30^{\circ}C$ inclination are investigated. To measure power output of PV windows, full scale mock-up house was designed and constructed. The power performance of PV window system was analyzed for horizontal angle, declination angle and vertical angle according to incline angle. Monitoring data are gathered from November 2006 to August 2007 and statistical analysis is performed to analysis a characteristics of power performance of transparent PV windows. Results show that annual power output of PV window with horizontal angle is 844.4kWh/kWp/year, declination angle 1,060kWh/kWp/year and vertical angle 431.6 kWh/kWp/year.

This paper deals with supersonic vehicle. A supersonic vehicle has very complicated and high nonlinear thrust characteristics with respect to outer and inner environment during operation. For this reason, supersonic vehicle has many maneuver constraints and allows to operate within more narrow flight envelope. In this paper, trajectory optimization of supersonic vehicle is accomplished. The trajectory optimization problem is formulated by a discrete parameter optimization problem and the operation constraints are considered during trajectory optimization. It is shown that results of trajectory optimization give senses to fuel supply and nozzle throttle area control into effectiveness. Furthermore, general operation direction and its application for supersonic vehicles are discussed.

A non-steady group combustion model of a spherical droplets cloud has been developed to access the non-steady effects of collective behavior of fuel droplets on combustion characteristics and cloud structure. A system of conservation equations of droplets cloud in axisymmetric spherical coordinate was solved by numerical methods for n-Butylbenzene(C$_{10}$ / $H_{14}$) It was found that the effect of initial droplet size on combustion characteristics is dominated compare with effects of cloud size and number density of droplets. For dense droplets cloud, external group combustion mode is established during main part of cloud life time, and internal and single droplet combustion modes are simultaneously established for the dilute droplets cloud. Radius of cloud and external envelope flame are slowly decreased during main part of cloud life time, and suddenly decreased at end of combustion period.d.

High rise office buildings represent one of the most energy-intensive architectural typologies. The growth of urban population necessitates sustainable high rise towers that lessen environmental impacts and energy consumption. Among various sustainable strategies, the integrated design is long known to be an important process that has great impact on building's sustainability. The framework for this paper is based on the case study of integrated towers that are located in different climate zones. The paper specifically addresses to what extent climate conditions influence the design of a high rise building and what kinds of the climate integrated design has been implemented. Qualitative case studies were carried out using published data and architectural drawing set. The technical work presented in the paper is based on computer simulation that examines the insolation analysis using hourly recorded weather data. The analysis results revealed that the site and building envelope integration and the site and building service systems have shown the most frequently employed in the integrated towers through the implementation of renewable resource integration, high performance envelopes and sustainable building service systems. Internal comfort and further energy saving in the integrated towers are offered through an automatic building management system. Due to the dynamic climate conditions, integration of building systems requires a sophisticated approach to building sustainability.

With the change in Earth's ecosystems due to climate change, a number of studies on zero energy buildings have been conducted globally, due to the depletion of energy and resources. However, most studies have concentrated on residential and office buildings and the performance predictions were made only in the design phase. This study verifies the zero-energy performance in the operational phase by acquiring and analyzing data after the completion of an exhibition building. This building was a retention building, in which a renewable energy system using a passive house building envelope, solar photovoltaic power generation panels, as well as fuel cells were adopted to minimize the maintenance cost for future energy-zero operations. In addition, the energy performance of the building was predicted through prior simulations, and this was compared with actual measured values to evaluate the energy performance of the actual operational records quantitatively. The energy independence rate during the measurement period of the target building was 123% and the carbon reduction due to the energy production on the site was 408.07 tons. The carbon reduction exceeded the carbon emission (331.5 tons), which verified the carbon zero and zero-energy performances.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a causal agent of the chronic liver infection. To understand HCV morphogenesis, we studied the assembly of HCV structural proteins in insect cells. We constructed recombinant baculovirus expression vectors consisting of either HCV core alone, core-E1, or core-E1-E2. These structural proteins were expressed in insect cells and were examined to assemble into particles. Neither core-E1 nor core-E1-E2 was capable of assembling into virus-like particles (VLPs). It was surprising that the core protein alone was assembled into core-like particles. These particles were released into the culture medium as early as 2 days after infection. In our system, HCV structural proteins including envelope proteins did not assemble into VLPs. Instead, the core protein itself has the intrinsic capacity to assemble into amorphous core-like particles. Furthermore, released core particles were associated with HCV RNA, indicating that core proteins were assembled into nucleocapsids. These results suggest that HCV may utilize a unique core release mechanism to evade the hosts defense mechanism, thus contributing to the persistence of HCV infection.
