In this study, we proposed duty executions to confine a robot in a specific place with multiple robots. The proposed method involved the use of a role classifier for assigning labor roles, behavior selector for each robot, and a collaboration manager for handling complex situations. Further, we verified the validity of the proposed method by performing simulations to confine a robot in the specific location by using multiple robots.

In the following paper, new architectural algorithm of clock and data recovery circuit is proposed for 622.08 Mbps optical communication receiver. New algorithm makes use of charge pump PLL using voltage controlled ring oscillator and extracts 8-channel 77.76 MHz clock signals, which are delayed by i/8 (i=1,2, ...8), to convert and recover 8-channel parallel data from 662.08 Mbps MRZ serial data. This circuit includes clock genration block to produce clock signals continuously even if input data doesn't exist. And synchronization of data and clock is doen by the method which compares 1/2 bit delayed onput data and decided dta by extracted clock signals. Thus, we can stabilize frequency and phase of clock signal even if input data is distorted or doesn't exist and simplify receiver architecture compared to traditional receiver's. Also it is possible ot realize clock extraction, data decision and conversion simulataneously. Verification of this algorithm is executed by DESIGN CENTER (version 6.1) using test models which are modelized by analog behavior modeling and digital circuit model, modified to process input frequency sufficiently, in SPICE.

Vehicle behavior is determined by forces and a torques generated at the ground contact surface of the tire. Various tire models are used to calculate the forces and torques acting on the tire. The brush model calculates the forces and torques with fewer coefficients than other tire models. However, owing to fewer degrees of freedom in calculating the forces, this model has limitations in precisely expressing measured data. In this study, this problem was addressed by adding the least parameters to the friction coefficient and tire properties of the brush model, and the proposed model was validated.

Ultrasonic atomic force microscopy(Ultrasonic-AFM) can be used to obtain images of the elastic properties of a subsurface and to evaluate the elastic properties by measuring the contact resonance frequency. When a tip is in contact with the sample, it is necessary to understand the cantilever behavior and the tip-sample interaction for the quantitative and reliable analysis. Therefore, precise analysis models that can accurately simulate the tip-sample contact are required; these can serve as good references for predicting the contact resonance frequency. In this study, modal analyses of the first four modes were performed to calculate the contact resonance frequency by using a spring model, and the deformed shapes of the cantilever were visualized at each mode. We presented the contact characteristics of the cantilever with a variety of contact conditions by applying the contact area, contact material thickness, and material properties as the parameters for the FEM analysis.

Despite advances in technology, crushing accidents still occur during emergency evacuations of crowded public spaces. To prevent crushing accidents, it is necessary to understand the flow of pedestrians during evacuation scenarios through experiments. Since experiments with humans can generate real accidents, we performed experiments on rodents to approximate human behavior. To trigger an emergency evacuation response, we applied electrical stimulation to the feet of the rodents. Although electrical stimulation has been applied to mice in many experiments, studies on the intensity and pattern of electric stimulation required to evoke a rapid evacuation response in mice is still lacking. In this study, we experimentally investigated how the evacuation flow of mice changes according to the amplitude, event, and duration of electric stimulation.

Studies on the deformation behavior of materials subjected to impact loads have been carried out in various fields of engineering and industry. The deformation and fracture of members for these machines/structures are known to correspond to the intermediate strain-rate region. Therefore, for the structural design, it is necessary to consider the dynamic deformation behavior in these intermediate strain-rate ranges. However, there have been few reports with useful data about the deformation and fracture behavior at intermediate strain-rate ranges. Because the intermediate strain-rate region is located between quasi-static and high strain-rate regions, it is difficult to obtain the intermediate strain-rate using conventional reasonable test equipment. To solve this problem, in this study, the measurement reliability of the constructed drop-bar impact tensile test apparatus was established and the dynamic behavior at the intermediate strain-rate range of carbon steels was evaluated by utilizing the apparatus.

To make a basepaper for multipurposed seed paper, old news print (ONP) and mixed office waste paper (MOW), modified and unmodified with a commercial cellulase, were investigated. Each handsheet was applied with different chemicals such as insecticides, germicides and herbicides. The interactions behaviors of chemicals used with base papers were evaluated by means of the contents of chemicals impregnation and dissolving behaviors in water and soil. The ONP and MOW treated with the cellulase had higher impregnation and dissolving capacities in both water and soil than untreated ONP and MOW. However, the modified ONP showed lower impregnation and dissolving capacities compared to the modified MOW. The content of impregnation of chemicals would be affected with the degree of microfibrils produced by the modification treatment. Otherwise, dissolving capacities of chemicals depend on the affinity of the residual lignin in the paper.

A simple method of isotherm determination for HPLC is discussed. The equilibrium-dispersive model describing the behavior of elution peaks in HPLC for single component is solved numerically by using PDE solver Macsyma$^{(R)}$(Macsyma Inc., Arlington, MA, USA.) and compared to the experimental data obtained in overloaded isocratic chromatography with caffeine as model species. The effect of sample concentration and flow velocity on the band profiles of elution peaks are described.

This paper presents a neutral point deviation compensating control algorithm applied to a 3-level NPC converter under generalized unbalanced ac input conditions. The neutral point deviation is analyzed with a focus on the current flowing out of or into the neutral point of the dc-link in 3-level NPC converter. The model of neutral point deviation and neutral current are also constructed. The positive and negative sequence components of the pole voltages and ac input currents are employed to accurately explain the behavior of 3-level NPC converter and its impact on neutral point deviation. This paper includes the harmonic characteristic of neutral point current under various imbalance AC operating conditions.

In this paper a predictive current control strategy is adopted in the D.C motor drive using dual converter. It is a kind of feedforward control working without overshoot within very short settling time. The difference to the well-known PI current control lies in considering the computer's ability of pre-calcurating the converter's behavior. By simulation it is shown that the predictive current control solve the problems of optimal PI current control, such as overshoot and settling time.
