  • A single DSP implementation of 3D sound movement is described. With the use of a realtime 3D acoustic image localization algorithm, an efficient approach is devised for synthesizing the 3D sound movement by interpolating only two parameters of "delay" and "gain". Based on this algorithm, the realtime 3D sound synthesis is performed by a commercially available 16-bit fixed-point DSP with computational labor of 65 MIPS and memory space of 9.6k words, which demonstrates that the algorithm call be used even for the mobile applications.

  • In the present study, we propose Monte Carlo simulation that takes into consideration the interface phenomena between liquid crystal and substrate. We use rigid model molecules of liquid crystal and substrate. Interface is generated using potential field that induces decomposition of molecules. We use hard spherocylinders as model liquid crystal molecules. Substrate is modeled as region composed of shorter spherocylinders. Our results show that there is a case in which nematic order is reinforced in the vicinity of rubbed substrate.

  • We have prepared polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) for DMFC from polymer mixture of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl alcohol-co-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) (AP-2) changing the AP-2 content. The proton conductivity(${\Box}$) and methanol permeability(P) of the PEMs increase with increasing AP-2 content because the water content of the PEMs increases with increasing AP-2 content. The proton permselectivity of the PEMs, which is defined as ${\Box}={\Box}/P$, indicates higher values than that of $Nafion{(R)}$117.

  • In high speed turbopumps, cavitation occurs and often causes the flow instabilities such as cavitation surge and rotating cavitation. The occurrence of these cavitation instabilities is considered to relate to dynamic characteristics of the cavitation, which are modelled using a cavitation compliance and a mass flow gain factor. Various types of cavitation such as a blade surface cavitation, a tip leakage vortex cavitation, and a backflow vortex cavitation occur at the same time in the inducer and the dynamic characteristics of each cavitation have not been clarified yet in experiments. Focusing on the blade surface cavitation as one of fundamental cavitation, we investigated the dynamic characteristics of the blade surface cavitation on a flat plate hydrofoil in experiments in the present study.

  • A self-organizing map (SOM) can be seen as an analytical tool to discover some underlying rules in the given data set. Based on such distinctive nature called topology-preserving projection, a new method for generating intermediate patterns was proposed. Then, following to this method, producing animation as a series of backward-projected patterns just like a flip book is tried in this article.

  • In this paper, a Pl controlled feedback closed-loop voltage regulation scheme of the three-phase squirrel cage rotor self-excited induction generator (SEIG) driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) such as a wind turbine is designed on the basis of the static VAR compensator (SVC) and discussed in experiment fer the promising stand-alone power independent conditioner. The simulation and experimental results of the three-phase SEIG with the simple SVC controller for its stabilized voltage regulation prove the practical effectiveness of the additional SVC control loop scheme including the PI controller with fast response characteristics and steady-sate performance improvement.

  • As a recent global trend, the majority of mega-size plant projects are delivered through EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contracts, where a single contract is awarded for engineering, procurement, and construction. Under this contracting mechanism, it is challenging for contractors to carry out the projects under traditional project management processes used in design-bid-build projects. A new EPC Plant, the POSCO Special Steel Plant in Changwon, was built successfully at the beginning of 2012 and it is currently in full-scale production. The project has encountered a number of major difficulties however, with some technical and managerial issues through its development process. As summarized in this paper, the authors (as project participants with the contractor) investigated it as a post construction analysis and recorded the Lessons-learned for future project management improvement.

  • We developed novel molecular dynamics and quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulators for the design of MgO protecting layer in plasma display panel. These simulators were applied to the investigations on the destruction processes of the MgO protecting layer as well as the evaluation of its second electron emission ability. From the simulation results, we successfully proposed new guidelines for MgO protecting layer with high durability and high second electron emission ability.
