The assessment of the potential for the design of marine renewable energy systems is reviewed and the current situation for marine renewable energy is promising. The most studied forms of marine renewable energy are ocean wind energy, ocean wave energy and tidal energy. Wind turbine generators include mostly horizontal axis type and vertical axis type. But also more exotic ideas such as a kite design. Wave energy devices consist of designs converting wave oscillations in electric power via a power take off equipment. Such equipment can take multiple forms to be more efficient. Nevertheless, the technology alone cannot be the only step towards marine renewable energy. Many other steps must be overcome: policy, environment, manpower as well as consumption habits. After reviewing the current conditions of marine renewable energy development, the authors analyzed the key factors for developing a strong marine renewable energy industry and pointed out the huge potential of marine renewable energy.

The fuzzy-neural hybrid control system utilizing the fuzzy-neural network(FNN) will be presented in this paper. The basic structure of the controller is the parallel combination of a conventional P-controller and a FNN. Such a combination can guarantee the stability of a plant at initial stage before the rules are completely created. And a method how to automatically tunning the parameters of the FNN will be proposed with error back-propagation(BP) algorithm. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed strategy will be verified by computer simulations using a two DOF robot manipulator.

At the altitudes above 3km, the wind is three to four time faster and less variable than at the current MW sized wind turbine hub height of around 100m. In addition, power generation from wind turbines installed on the ground is intermittent because local wind conditions are affected by local topography and artificial structures. The wind energy researchers and engineers are now looking for revolutionary ideas to utilize high altitude wind resources in-creasing the capabilities of wind turbine installations. This article presents and discusses several concepts for wind energy exploitation from wind at high altitudes. The concepts presented in this paper make use of lifting bodies, called wings or kites, connected to a tether that stetches into the higher regions of the atmosphere.

The implementation of a insect-based flying microrobot has been previously proposed as using magnetic force. The flying principle of a butterfly is different from that of a airplane, which obtain lifting force above the wings by a air stream with low pressure. Butterflies obtain lifting force below the wings by flapping. They can fly when drag during the down stroke is greater that during the up stroke. The structure of flying microrobot must satisfy these condition. And that must be manufacture lightly and keep balance for rising to the air sufficiently. Moreover the efficiency of an electromagnet is high and the flux density is sustained uniformly and widely Nevertheless these condition is satisfied, the implementation of a flying microrobot is very difficult as the flying microrobot has to fly without guides or sensor. We propose differently a new model il] comparison with that other paper has suggested. This imitates the form of the Korean shield-shaped kite.

Ground connection began by experimenting lightning with the use of a kite and it means electric appliances, communication equipments, measuring instruments and so on connecting the Earth in order to flow away overcharged electricity. There are two kinds of earth connection: Power Ground and Signal Ground. Power Ground is for preventing an electric shock and in general there's no current in the connector. However in an accident, there's a quick flow of electricity out to the Earth. Signal Ground is not only for the safety of appliances but also for the safety of equipment operation. This paper is about connection for noise and interference reduce in order to prevent wrong operation and distortion of signal in the electrical appliances which can take place in cable TV.

Fuzzy logic rule-based controller has many desirable advantages, which are simple to implement on the real time and need not the information of structure and dynamic characteristics of the system. Thus, nowadays, the scope of the application of the fuzzy logic controller becomes enlarged. But, if the controlled plant is a time-varying and nonlinear system, it is not easy to construct the fuzzy logic rules which usually need the knowledge of an expert. In this paper, an approach in which the logic control rules can be self-organized using genetic algorithm will be proposed and the effectiveness of the proposed method will be verified by computer simulation of the 2 d.o.f. planar robot manipulator.

The purpose of this study is to understand the current status of 'One Book, One City' community-wide reading campaign by analyzing the characteristics of the books selected during the past fifteen years. According to the lists of 'One Book, One City' Reading Promotions Projects' available from the website of the Library of Congress, the Center for the Books, a total of 1,037 books were selected by 2,220 'One Book' programs. Major findings are as follows: First, 278 books (26.8%) and 759 books (73.2%) were selected by more than two 'One Book' programs and one program, respectively; Second, three most popular books were To Kill a Mockingbird (chosen in 84 programs), Fahrenheit 451 (in 53 programs), and The Kite Runner (in 50 programs); Third, with the wide diffusion of 'One Book' campaigns, the selection of unique books by individual 'One Book' programs has increased, and the impact of the books selected by 'Seattle Reads' and 'One Book, One Chicago' has gradually decreased.

A kite in Japanese is the octopus. The reason is that when they saw the tail of the kite, they remembered the foot of octopus. And this kinds of associative action is called a mitate(見立て) in Japanese. Mitate is similar to metaphor, but these two concepts are somewhat different in causing laugh. Korean and Chinese comedic story's metaphor cause laugh by similarity of two things, but Japanese comedic story's mitate cause laugh by dissimilarity of two things. Chinese and Korean comedic stories focus on 90%'s similarity of two things, but Japanese comedic stories focus on 10%'s dissimilarity of two things. So, in this paper, I tried to consider the mitate of comedic stories of East Asia, and I found that there are the following three features. First, we can see the tendency of Chinese and Korean comedic stories's mitate concern on the human body's physical weakness. But, Japanese comedic stories subject to not the human body's physical weakness but the human's professional or identification temperament. Second, East Asian's comedic stories mitate which related character and word play came from the method of decomposition of Chinese characters, for that area's people have used Chinese characters for a long time. However, there are different cases in Japanese comedic story's Chinese characters mitate, where that characters mitate is combined with two different type's characters, for example, to associate one Chinese character and another Japanese characters, hiragana or katakana. Third, there are next type's mitate which came from misunderstanding of Chinese characters, it can be seen in Chinese and Korean comedic stories. Perhaps, this pattern related with Chinese three syllable's character pattern, which is a Chinese traditional word and character play.

It is known that an aircraft with delta-wings which are attached to the body at a large angle like a kite or a hang glider has a measure of maneuverability and stability. Aircrafts of this kind can fly stably. Even if engine trouble occurs, it will not fall and might be able to land. In this paper, one of the conventional control methods, PID control, is applied to the aircraft with LQ local control block. This is based on an idea that the aircraft flies so stably that the automatic control system might be realized by a simple controller. The proposed PID controller consists of several sub-controllers which are constructed to each system neglecting the interference. In addition, the LQ control is involved as a local loop of the aileron and rudder control in order to increase stability of the attitude when circling. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through 3D computer simulations and experiments of the flight path control.
