In the current very deep submicron technology era, fault tolerant mechanisms perform an essential function to cope with the effects of soft errors. To evaluate the effectiveness of the fault tolerant mechanism, reliability engineers use simulated fault injections using either saboteur modules or mutants in the simulation model. However, the two methods suffer from both inefficiency in the simulation mechanism and difficulties with the experimental setups. To overcome these inefficiencies, we propose the Verilog-based simulated fault injection (VFI) technique. VFI has the following advantages. First, modification of the design model is unnecessary. Second, the fault injection simulation procedure is simple and efficient. Third, various types of fault injection experiments can be performed. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, we developed a VFI environment using the ICARUS Verilog Simulator. From the experimental results, we were able to qualitatively evaluate the reliability of the target simulation models and to assess the effectiveness of the employed fault-tolerance mechanisms.

This paper reports that a DDD system controlled by Stored Program Control(SPC) method was constructed and performance testresults were presented using a microprocessor instead of using conventional Wired Program Control(WPC) method. It is shown that the system was designed using a STD O/G unit which has only Point to Point(PTP) access function due to selector driving method as a O/G repeater of this system without any modification. When the system is adopted to a toll exchange system for medium and / or small city, it is expected that the system can be made with small size, high reliability and no use of conventional selector switches. It is also predicted that variation of communication route can be easily realized by simple program modification.

The position control of flexible joint manipulator is investigated by applying the self-organizing fuzzy logic controller (SOC) proposed by Procyk and Mamdani. The SOC is a heuristic rule-based controller and a further extension of an ordinary fuzzy controller, which has a hierachy structrue which consists of an algorithm being identical to a fuzzy controller at the lower ollp and a learning algorithm accomodating the performance evalution and rule modification function at the upper ollp. This form of control can be used in those complex systems which have been too difficult to control or which in the past have had to rely on the experience of a human operator. Even though the significant dynamic coupling of the motors and links on the flexible joint manipulator, the performance of command-following is good by applying the proposed SOC.

Pig organ is thought to be the most suitable nonhuman organ for xenotransplanstation. However, one of the major constraints to using pig organs for xenotransplantation is human natural antibody-mediated hyperacute rejection (HAR). Elimination of a(1,3) galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) from the pig is expected to be a solution to the problem of hyperacute rejection. ry1any efforts have made characterization of GGTA1 in structure and function. improvement in the technique of DNA transfection of somatic cells and advancement of the pig NT, a specific modification has been made to one copy of the GGTA1 gene by Missouri group in 2002. To date because homozygousity of the genetic modification has been achieved in this gene, the role of gala(1,3) gal specific natural antibody in HAR and the efficacy of xenotransplantation in a nonhuman primate model will be addressed. If other genes are found to be involved in rejection of pig donors by primates, the technology will be available to modify those genes so that rejection can be overcome.

The Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm has become on of the most widely used methods for nonlinear unconstrained optimization, since 1965. Recently, this algorithm has been reevaluated and many papers on this algorithm are being published. The MATLAB computer software, highly renown in engineering, also provides the Nelder-Mead algorithm and the Denis-Woods modification with FMINS function. The authors made C++ code of these algorithms and compared with FMINS on the convergence behavior and the exactness of solutions. It shows that MATLAB's FMINS is inferior to author's C++ code. So, FMINS should be corrected for every user.

The traveling salesman problem has been studied for many years since the model can be used for various applications such as vehicle routing, job sequencing, clustering a data array, and so on. In this paper one of the typical exact algorithms for TSP, Minty's, will be modified to improve the performance of the algorithm on the applications without losing simplicity. The Little's algorithm gives good results, however, the simple and plain Minty's algorithm for solving shortest-route problems has the most intuitive appeal. The suggested Minty's modification is based on the creation of penalty-values on the matrix of a TSP. Computer experiments are made to verify the effectiveness of the modification.

An increasing attention is paid to STEP-NC, the next generation CNC controller interfacing STEP-compatible data. In this paper, we first propose an Architecture for the STEP-NC (called FBCC: Feature Baled CNC Controller) accepting feature code compatible with STEP-data, and executing NC motion feature by feature while monitoring the execution status. The main thrust of the paper has been to develop an automatic on-line tool path generation and modification scheme for milling operation. The tool path it generated iota each feature by decomposing into a finite number of primitive features. The key function in the new scheme is haw to accommodate unexpected execution results. In our scheme, the too1 path plinker is designed to have a tracing capability iota the tool path execution so that a new path can be generated from the point where the operation is stopped. An illustrative example is included to show the capability of the developed algorithm.

Many efforts have been devoted on chemical modification of graphene layer to modulate its electrical properties. In the previous report, laser irradiation on the CYTOP(perfluoropolymer) doped graphene layer induces chemical modification of it, resulting in the insulating I-V characteristics. While the results strongly denoted C-F bond formation after irradiation, the detailed process of photo-induced chemical change is not known yet. To probe this, we utilized synchrotron based SPEM (scanning photoelectron emission spectroscopy) in NSRRC, Taiwan. We irradiate the sample by photon of 614 eV in a stepwise manner as a function of time. As photon irradiation increased, difluoride moieties in the CYTOP was broken, and then formed mono-fluoride with carbon atoms consisting graphene layer.

The authorized form is called the heading must be unique and consistent. Without both uniqueness and cosistency, retrieval from the bibliographic database will not be optimal and in some cases may even be impossible. But the authority control is extremely expensive, because it is labour-intensive and dependent on professional investigation and judgement. In fact, it is by far the most expensive function in all of bibliographic control. The processes used to determine the form of access points. maintain. use. and evaluate very accurate authority records reduce the efficiency to generate or merge bibliographic items without modification from any national level bibliographic utilities as well as individual library. In this paper non-authority control system was suggested to solve the disadvantages of authority work. The apparent advantages of the non-authority control system are it is easy to determine the heading, input the bibliographic data. integrate the access points into an existing file, and generate and merge bibliographic data without modification. In addition, non-authority control system can be transmitted into online information retrieval system conducted with a mixture of controlled vocabularies and natural language.

Sub-frame is a key component to damp the vibration of engine-born and isolate the input force from a ground. To enhance the performance of the sub-frame of vehicle, its structure should be designed to be a high performing mechanical filter that exclude the low frequency vibration elements. In this paper, a contribution analysis based on the frequency response function(FRF) is introduced to detect a high sensitive position of the target sub-frame and its results are validated with a SDM(structural dynamic modification) analysis.
