In this paper, we propose a novel wide band printed monopole antenna called the staircase bow-tie monopole antenna (SBMA). We apply an extraordinary method for an impedance matching to conventional bow-tie monopoles. So we get the SBMA with a very wide band. Our antenna is smaller than a quarter wavelength in size but provides a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of about 77.1 %. An antenna gain and a radiation pattern are about 1.7 dBi and omni-directional at 1.7 GHz, respectively.

A novel compact pattern diversity slot antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth applications is presented. This antenna consists of two modified coplanar waveguides that feed staircase-shaped radiating elements, wherein two different fork-like stubs are placed at the $45{\circ}$ axis. The measured results show that this proposed antenna operates from 2.3 GHz to 12.5 GHz, covering Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, and UWB. The performance of radiation patterns and the corresponding envelope correlation coefficient prove this antenna is suitable for MIMO/diversity systems. Also, the antenna's compact size makes it a good candidate for portable devices.

Many pressurization systems are designed and built with the goal of providing a smoke-free escape route in the event of a building fire. A secondary objective is to provide a smoke-free staging area for fire fighters. In the present study, a computer program is developed to calculate pressure loss and flow rate at several building elements such as a room, a ]tabby a staircase and an air supply shaft. By the program as the dosing tool for the pressurization system, the capacity of the injection fan is calculated, and the design method is proposed for the optimization of the fan capacity.

A thick-layered RP process, transfer-type variable lamination manufacturing using expandable polystyrene foam (VLMST) has been developed to have the advantageous characteristics such as high building speed, low cost for introduction and maintenance of VLM-ST apparatus, and little staircase surface irregularities of parts. However, VLM-ST has difficulty fabricating an axisymmetric shape and a large-sized freeform shape because of the limited sloping angles and small build size. The objective of this paper is to develop a multi-functional hotwire cutting system using EPS-foam (MHC). MHC employs a four-axis synchronized hotwire cutter with the structure of two XY movable heads and a turntable. In order to examine the applicability of the developed MHC apparatus, an axisymmetric shape, a polyhedral shape and a large-sized freeform shape were fabricated on the apparatus.

This paper itltroduces a simple stair-case PWM using the pseudo-sinusoidal method. In a configuration of controller, the value of sine as a fundamental factor divided into stair-case level and the three-phase PWM inverter is composed by digital compound for each value of stair-case level. The three-phase output pulse at a fixed carrier frequency and a variable reference frequency is obtained under the effect of reduced harmonics. In this experiment, using the power FET as the switching device, 0.5 H.P. induction motor operation is performed when the switching frequency is 20KHz.

A novel compact ultra wideband(UWB) antenna for UWB application is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna with $22mm{\times}26mm{\times}1.6mm$ covers the entire UWB bandwidth and has band notch characteristic for the frequency band of $5.15{\sim}5.825GHz$ limited by WLAN. The antenna has a concaved ground plane and staircase shape patch to achieve the wide bandwidth, and has an U shape slot with $\lambda/4$ length to notch the band. The return loss and group delay of the proposed antenna are measured.

In any rapid prototyping process, the layer by layer building process introduces an area error between the staircase and the surface line specified by the computer-aided design model. This affects the dimensional accuracy as well as the surface finish for different Road Widths. This paper describes a methodology for computing the area error for any Road Width by the fused deposition modelling system. This technique can be applied to determine the best Road Width of the part, based on the minimum area error. This technique is verified by comparing the results with the experimental measurements of the area error with Road Widths.

In this paper we provide three results involving large Schr$\ddot{o}$der paths. First, we enumerate the number of large Schr$\ddot{o}$der paths by type. Second, we prove that these numbers are the coefficients of a certain symmetric function defined on the staircase skew shape when expanded in elementary symmetric functions. Finally we define a symmetric function on a Fuss path associated with its low valleys and prove that when expanded in elementary symmetric functions the indices are running over the types of all Schr$\ddot{o}$der paths. These results extend their counterparts of Kreweras and Armstrong-Eu on Dyck paths respectively.

An image restoration problem with Poisson noise arises in many applications of medical imaging, astronomy, and microscopy. To overcome ill-posedness, Total Variation (TV) model is commonly used owing to edge preserving property. Since staircase artifacts are observed in restored smooth regions, higher-order TV regularization is introduced. However, sharpness of edges in the image is also attenuated. To compromise benefits of TV and higher-order TV, the weighted sum of the non-convex TV and non-convex higher order TV is used as a regularizer in the proposed variational model. The proposed model is non-convex and non-smooth, and so it is very challenging to solve the model. We propose an iterative reweighted algorithm with the proximal linearized alternating direction method of multipliers to solve the proposed model and study convergence properties of the algorithm.

This study was conducted to develop standards for evaluating what extent the physical environments of housing which can cope with the needs of the aging society. To set up the evaluation items of housing for the elderly, the evaluation items were formulated after analyzing the items or indices presented by the previous studies. This study was proceeded with in such an order as setting up the scope of evaluation, setting up the areas of evaluation, and setting up the items of evaluation. The scope of evaluation was limited to the indoor spaces of housing as it was thought that the elderly spend much more time at indoors, considering their physical characteristics. The areas of evaluation were composed of seven areas; general matters of housing(14 items), bedroom(35 items), living room(24 items), kitchen(29 items), bathroom(45 items), toilet(40 items), and staircase(15 items). The items of each area included those relevant to general matters, heating and ventilation, light source, openings, and related equipment. Therefore, the items of the evaluation areas were 202 in total.
