Model Based Predictive Control(MBPC) has been widely used in predictive control since 80's. GPC[1] which is the superset of many MBPC strategies a popular method, but GPC has some weakness, such as insufficient stability analysis, non-applicability to internally unstable systems. However, CRHPC[2] proposed in 1991 overcomes the above limitations. So we chose RHPC based on CRHPC for electric furnace control. An electric furnace which has nonlinear properties and large time delay is difficult to control by linear controller because it needs nearly perfect modelling and optimal gain in case of PID. As a result, those controls are very time-consuming. In this paper, we applied RHPC with equality constraint to electric furnace. The reults of experiments also include the case of RHPC with monotonic weighting improving the transient response and including unmodelled dynamics. So, This paper proved the practical aspect of RHPC for real processes.

Chondroitin sulfate was extracted by alkali method and enzyme method from shark cartilage. In extract system, various processing parameters such as concentration of alkali and alcarase, temperature etc, have been investigated for optimization condition. The pure chondroitin sulfate was obtained by UF membrane separation. The characteristics was also investigated with gel permeation chromatograpy(GPC). The molecular weight of chondroitin sulfate was $2.7\times10^4$ Da.

In this paper, an extension of model predictive controller for nonlinear process using Takagi-Sugeno(TS) fuzzy model is proposed Since the consequent parts of TS fuzzy model comprise linear equations of input and output variables. it is locally linear, and the Generalized Predictive Control(GPC) technique which has been developed to control Linear Time Invariant(LTI) plants, can be extended as a parallel distributed controller. Also fuzzy soft constraints are introduced to handle both equality and inequality constraints in a unified form. So the traditional constrained GPC can be transferred to a standard fuzzy optimization problem. The proposed method conciliates the advantages of the fuzzy modeling with the advantages of the constrained predictive control, and the degree of freedom is increased in specifying the desired process behavior.

In this paper, the Generalized Predictive Control(GPC) method based on Fuzzy Neural Networks(FNNs) is presented for the control of chaotic nonlinear systems without precise mathematical models. In our method, FNNs is used as the predictor whose parameters are tuned by the error between the actual output of nonlinear chaotic system and that of FNNs model. The parameters of GPC controller are adjusted via the gradient descent method where the difference between the actual output and the reference signal is used as a control error. Finally, computer simulation on the representative continuous-time chaotic system(Duffing system) is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our chaos control method.

The position control of the electro-hydraulic servo indexing system in a flexible forging machine was investigated. The role of an Electro-hydraulic servoindexing system is to rotate a workpiect fast and accurately to a desired position. Since the inertia of a workpiece changes during each forging step, an adapt control scheme could be adopted to the position control of the workpiece. A generalized predictive control method which depends on predicting the plant output over several steps ahead based on the assumption about future control actions is proposed. The perormance of the proposed GPC algorithm is investigated experimentally and compared with that of PID control. Experimental results show that the proposed GPC algorithm is satisfactory for the position control of the workpiece of an electrohydraulic indexing system.

The major difficulty in distillation column control lies in executing the set point tracking and the disturbance rejection, because of continuous changes in model order and dead time. For that, generalized predictive control(GPC) was applied to distillation column control. Recursive least square method was used to adjust the changes of model order and dead time. Quadratic progamming(QP) was used to solve the constraint problems in control action and the rate of control action. As a result of the simulation on the dynamic simulator(SPEEDUP) and the experiment on pilot plant, the ability of the set point tracking and the disturbance rejection was acceptable to apply to the real distillation column.

Engineering properties such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio of geopolymer concrete (GPC) and steel fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete (SFRGPC) have been obtained from standard tests and compared. A total of 15 specimens were tested for determining each property. The grade of concrete used was M 40. The percentages of steel fibres considered include 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%. In general, the addition of fibres improved the mechanical properties of both GPC and SFRGPC. However the increase was found to be nominal in the case of compressive strength (8.51%), significant in the case of splitting tensile strength (61.63%), modulus of rupture (24%), modulus of elasticity (64.92%) and Poisson's ratio (50%) at 1% volume fraction of fibres. An attempt was made to obtain the relation between the various engineering properties with the percentage of fibres added.

In this paper, a method for the design of robust adaptive controller using the heuristic rules of industrial engineers is presented. This scheme works on the basis of heuristic rules and includes a supervisor, a system identifier and a detuner. The supervisor detects onsetting instability based on the analysis of the amplitude and the trend of error signal, also selects running controllers. Upon detecting instability, the controller is switched to a PID algorithm and run recursively until stability is restored. Simultaneously, new input / output data is gathered and the system identifier runs to get critical sensitivity (kc) and critical period(tc). Based on the new values(kc, tc), a GPC controller is redesigned and normal GPC is finally run. The algorithm described in this paper belongs to the supervised adaptive control category with a limited use of heuristic rules. Finally, we show the robust of this scheme by simulated example.

3 Kinds of PEG-hEGF conjugate, PEG5-hEGF, PEG5-hEGF, PEG10-hEGF, were synthesized. Major fractions containing 2 chains of PEG were separated by preparative GPC. Molecular weight was estimated by GPC-MALLS, TOF-Mass and SDS-PAGE, and the data were well corresponding to calculated one. The cell proliferation effect of the conjugates was evaluated, Indicating that the conjugate bound to longer chain PEG exhibits lower activity. Selective modification of hEGF and activity preservation of PEG-hEGF conjugate are undergoing.

Graft site distribution of graft polymer was derived from a statistical model. Theoretical model was experimentally confirmed by preparing well defined graft polymer and using gel permeation chromatography(GPC). The results indicate that metalation of substrate polymer is statistically random process and anionic graft reaction products consist of ungrafted free side chain homopolymer; graft polymer with different number of graft chains and free backbone molecules when the averaged in the graft sites are small.
