Speed control of kerosene engine by the combination of a manual throttle and centrifugal weight type governor is not adequate for evaluating energy requirements in laboratory and field performance tests. This paper describes an engine speed control system. This system consists of Apple-II microcomputer, step motor set to the throttle shaft directly, step motor driving and interfacing circuit, engine performance data acquisition system for measuring load, speed and time and potentiometer as speed adjustor. The performance of this system was successful in maintaining engine speed within ${\pm}37$ rpm of reference speed indicated by computer and potentiometer.

In order to collect the engine performance data accurately, rapidly and reliabily, the microcomputer-based engine performance test system was developed and tested. The system measures engine shaft torque and speed, fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature, engine shaft power and fuel consumption ratio. The system consisted of 32 channels 8 bit A/D converter, time clock, dynamic strain amplifier and signal conditioning circuits to amplify and filter the electrical signal from transducers. Most of transducers were devised for low cost, easy setting and self-manufacturing. The system has been installed on a small kerosene engine (DAEDONG NA50B).

This study was conducted to develop an electro-hydraulic three-point hitch control system using an electro-hydraulic servo valve and microcomputer and to investigate the performance of the three-point hitch control system through indoor and field experiments. 1. The results from indoor experiments coincided with those from computer simulation reported in the previous paper. However, the draft control with the value 4 of Kd showed a slight sustained oscillation after it reached the draft set. 2. From the field experiments, it appeared that the RMS errors increased with the ground speed of tractor. In position control, the three-point hitch control system with electro-hydraulic servo valve showed better performance than that with on-off electro-magnetic valve in the ground speed less than 1.6 m/s. In draft control, however, there was no significant differece in performance between those two systems. 3. In depth control, the both types of electro-hydraulic three-point hitch control system showed better performance than the conventional mechanical-hydraulic three-point hitch control system.

This paper describes the design of portable arrhythmia monitor and associated algorithm for automated diagnosis based-on microcomputer in the ambulatory ECG recording, analysis, and transmitting to a hospital host computer immediately through the telephone system. The device differs from Molter recorder in that it does not store normal ECG signals but captures and alarms the ECG during suspected abnormal periods and selected temporal epochs to a central hospital site. This porta file arrhythmia monitor makes use of a general purpose computer and software will be changed to meet the custom requirements of individual physicians and patients. At present it is very obvious that each cardiologist has his own method of analyzing ECG recordings and utilizes past experience more than the firm quantitative analysis of data.

The ALU of CMOS microcomputer have been designed with the 3um design rule for CMOS polysilicon gate and Its cells were layed out. The operation of circuits were simulated with EDAS_P. The widths and lengths of gates In the circuit were determined using SPlCE. The carry delay of the ALU was Improved by Manchester carry method. The results of logic and circuit simulation were in good agreement with expected circuit characteristics.

This paper describes the design of digital signal processing system for the automatic diagnosis of ECG. The system comprises analog hardware, digital hardware, and control system by microcomputer. Also, since digital signal processing system can be equipped easily in microcomputer for the compact size(Single board), We expect to develop the Portable ECG Automatic Diagnosis System using this System.

This paper suggests several simple and efficient algorithms for detecting the ECG Signal by Microcomputer's software. The ECG signal detection was performed with the Linear Approximation and the feature extraction. The linear transformation approximates a given waveform by a piecewise-linear function with a preset upper bound on the absolute error between the functional values of the original function and the approximation. And the feature extraction from ECG signal, the features are different wave amplitudes, durations and interwave intervals, used the slope, the amplitude and time-Duration of ECG Sinal.

The images which are scanned by CCTV are converted to digital signal and 6502 Microcomputer processes data by Transform coding. Thus data is reduced to $64{ imes}64$pixels and input by outer memory using same address with inner one for the fast process. Hadmard Transform, Weighted Hadamard Transform which is weighted in the center of matrix and Haar Transform are programmed by assembly language and every Transform is dome within one second.

Microcomputer-based PID governor which can be provided either stability or rapid response for small hydro power plant at low cost is developed and adapted to the 5 KW model hydro power for the performance test. The effects of PID gains on stability boundaries of the hydraulic turbine generating system is investigated. For the optimum selection of the PID gains, general equations are derived on the base of the experiments. This control system has a good performance at the model of hydro power plant. For the prediction of the control system, a mathematical model was developed and the results of the simulation using this model was matched with the experimental results.
