We propose efficient scan testing method capable of reducing the test data and power dissipation for digital logic circuits. The proposed testing method is based on a hybrid run-length encoding which reduces test data storage on the tester. We also introduce modified Bus-invert coding method and scan cell design in scan cell reordering, thus providing increased power saving in scan in operation. Experimental results for ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show that average power of 96.7% and peak power of 84% are reduced on the average without fault coverage degrading. We have obtained a high reduction of 78.2% on the test data compared the existing compression methods.

Three-phase inductive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with DC reactor rated on 6.6 $KV_{rms}/200 A_{rms}$ has been developed in Korea. This system consists of one DC reactor, AC/DC power converter, and a three-phase transformer, which is called magnetic core reactor (MCR). This paper deals with the short-circuit analysis of the SFCL. The DC reactor was the HTS solenoid coil whose inductance was 84mH. The power converter was performed as the dual-mode operation for dividing voltage between the rectifying devices. The short-term normal operation (1 see) and short-circuit tests (2∼3 cycles) of this SFCL were performed successfully. In regular short-circuit test, the fault current was limited as 30% of rated short-circuit current at 2 cycles after the fault. The experimental results have a very similar tendency to the simulation results. Using the technique for the fault detection and SCR firing control, the fault current limiting rate of the SFCL was improved. From this research, the parameters for design and manufacture of large-scale SFCL were obtained.

Since the concept of a direct contact between bone and implants, without interposed soft- tissue layers, was reported by Dr. $Br{\aa}nemark$, there has been increasing necessity for correct under-standing of bone-implant interface and surrounding tissue response. Beside quality of bone, surgical technique, load applied to implants, one must consider implant materials, design and surface characteristics to obtain osseointegration. In this study HA plasma-sprayed implants, TPS implants and $Al_2O_3$ implants were inserted into the alveolar bone of dog and tissue response was observed with radiograph, stereoscope, light microscope, and scanning electron microscope. Results were as follows : 1. There was rapid and active bone formation in the region adjacent to HA plasma-sprayed implants but in the deep supporting bone only slight bone formation was seen. 2. There was considerable lamella bone formation in the region adjacent to TPS implants and the deep supporting bone became more compact. 3. There was some gap and sclerosing bone formation in the adjacent region of $Al_2O_3$ implants, but there was irregular new bone formation in the deep supporting bone. Therefore, it seems that $Al_2O_3$ is not adequate for osseointegrated implants.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sensory stimulation conducted by primiparas on mother-infant interaction, maternal self-esteem and infant temperament. Method: A non-equivalent control group post-test study design was used. The data were collected from December 1, 2001 to March 30, 2003. The participants were 39 primiparas with normal birth weight infants. They were divided into two groups, 20 mothers in the intervention group and 19 in the control group. The mothers in the intervention group were given instruction on sensory stimulation by the researcher, and the mothers, in turn, used this technique on their infants twice a day during the first 2 months of life. Both groups were measured for maternal self-esteem and infant temperament using the maternal self-report inventory (MSRI) and What My Baby Is Like (WBL) and a film was made of the feeding situation when each infant was between 8 and 10 weeks of age. Results: Compared to the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher scores in mother-infant interaction, maternal self-concept and infant temperament. Conclusion: This suggests that sensory stimulation conducted by primiparas may improve the mother-infant interaction, maternal self-esteem and infant temperament.

In this paper, it is presented a new technique to the design and real-time implementation of fuzzy control system based-on digital signal processors in order to improve the precision and robustness for system of industrial robot. Fuzzy control has emerged as one of the most active and fruitful areas for research in the applications of fuzzy set theory, especially in the real of industrial processes. In this thesis, a self-organizing fuzzy controller for the industrial robot manipulator with a actuator located at the base is studied. A fuzzy logic composed of linguistic conditional statements is employed by defining the relations of input-output variable of the controller, In the synthesis of a FLC, one of the most difficult problems is the determination of linguistic control rules from the human operators. To overcome this difficult, SOFC is proposed for a hierarchical control structure consisting of basic level and high level that modify control rules. The proposed SOFC scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, and suitable for implementation of real-time control. Performance of the SOFC is illustrated by simulation and experimental results for robot with eight joints.

Time dependent strain due to creep is a significant factor in structural design. Multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP) and artificial neural network (ANN) are used to develop two models for prediction of creep compliance in concrete. The first model was developed by MGGP technique and the second model by hybridized MGGP-ANN. In the MGGP-ANN, the ANN is working in parallel with MGGP to predict errors in MGGP model. A total of 187 experimental data sets that contain 4242 data points are filtered from the NU-ITI database. These data are used in developing the MGGP and MGGP-ANN models. These models contain six input variables which are: average compressive strength at 28 days, relative humidity, volume to surface ratio, cement type, age at start of loading and age at the creep measurement. Practical equation based on MGGP was developed. A parametric study carried out with a group of hypothetical data generated among the range of data used to check the generalization ability of MGGP and MGGP-ANN models. To confirm validity of MGGP and MGGP-ANN models; two creep prediction code models (ACI209 and CEB), two empirical models (B3 and GL 2000) are used to compare their results with NU-ITI database.

Accurate measurements of elastic constants are important from the view points of both science and engineering. The measurement can be viewed from scientific principle as a service tools for analyzing and improving the understanding of the nature of bondings between atoms and between ions. Also, from engineering perspective it would became an important factor to be definitely considered for the design of machinery equipments. In this investigation, two dynamic experimental methods of vibrations (acoustic method and Impulse technique method) are utilized and the results from the both methods are compared to obtain elastic constants data with a high degree of accuracy. The resonance frequencies obtained from the two methods are applied to both Euler and Timoshenko beam equations respectively, to determine the sources for possible differences.

The method of measuring skin active points is a technique for obtaining a lot of biometric information because it is measured with convenience, low cost and non-invasive methods. In this paper, we used in a three electrode measure method that has the advantage of measuring the impedance of the APs under the skin. The impedance measuring method is well illustrated by a simple model of an equivalent electrical circuit that correlates well with experimental results. The characteristic frequencies of APs are about 15-30HZ higher than that of surrounding skin and the values of measured reactance are about 35-77KΩ smaller. This technology analyzed accurately and objectively the reactance and characteristic frequency of APs and the surrounding skin using a non-invasive measuring system.

This paper proposes a novel current-based maximum power point tracking (CMPPT) method for a single-phase photovoltaic power conditioning system (PV PCS) by using a modified incremental conductance method. The CMPPT method simplifies the entire control structure of the power conditioning system and uses an inherent current source characteristic of solar cell arrays. Therefore, it exhibits robust and fast response under a rapidly changing environmental condition. Digital phase locked loop technique using an all-pass filter is also introduced to detect the phase of grid voltage, as well as the peak voltage. Controllers of dc/dc boost converter, dc-link voltage, and dc/ac inverter are designed for coordinated operation. Furthermore, a current control using a pseudo synchronous d-q transformation is employed for grid current control with unity power factor. A 3 kW prototype PV PCS is built, and its experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.
