In this paper, instead of the conventional PD controller for balancing control of two wheeled inverted pendulum robots, an improved PD controller using the neural network is proposed and implemented for performance verification. First, a two wheeled inverted pendulum robot system is constructed for experiment. Next proper gains of the conventional PD controller according to users' weights are obtained for balancing the robot by use of the trial and error method. The PD gains based on the trial and error method are generalized through the neural network. Experiment results show that the PD controller based on the neural network has better performance than the conventional PD controller.

A net-shape forming of small and complex-shaped metal parts by metal injection molding (MIM) has economic advantages in mass production, especially for STS 316L valve fitting. STS 316L offers excellent corrosion resistance, but it has poor machinability, which is a limitation in using it for a cost-effective production where both forging and machining are employed. Simulation and experimental analysis were performed to develop a MIM STS 316L 90° elbow fitting minimizing trial and error. A Taguchi method was used to determine which input parameter was the most sensitive to possible defects (e.g. sink mark depth) during the injection molding. The final prototype was successfully built. The results indicate that the simulation tool can be used during the design process to minimize trial and error, but the final adjustment of parameters based on field experience is essential.

For improving the flow capacity of pipeline system the hydraulic inspection method was developed conducting on-site with survey of pipeline facility such as diversion work, air vent, etc. and pipe network analysis. The pipe network analysis method determine pipe diameter with trial and error. The validity of the hydraulic inspection method proved adapting on S-district pipeline system.

In this study, characteristics of the problem solving process of the balancing redox equations was ana-lyzed by mental capacity and problem solving methods, and the pertinent teaching and learning guidance for oxidation-reduction unit was suggested. Participants were 79 senior high school students and 57 science high school students. Tests were conducted to measure the mental capacity, the understanding of the oxidation-reduction concepts and the com-pletion of the balancing redox equations. The framework was made to find the patterns of failure and success. As the analysis of the influence on the performance of mental capacity,understanding of the oxidation-reduction concepts, and problem solving methods, students who had lower understanding of oxidation-reduction concepts selected the trial and error method, and their performance were influenced by mental capacity. The students that had higher understanding of the oxidation-reduction concepts had good performance by using oxidation number method regardless of their mental capacity. As the results of analysis for the patterns, the success patterns of solving the problems, those of mostly the sci-ence high school students, were the cases of using oxidation number method well and lessening problem solving steps. The patterns of failure in solving problems by using trial and error method showed that students had mistakes in cal-culating, errors in making unknown equations, no consideration for all variables, or stopped solving the complicated problems. The patterns of failure in solving problems by using oxidation number method showed that many students had wrong oxidation number or no consideration for mass and charge balance.

Quadratic weighting matrices have an effect on the transition and steady state responses in a LQ tracking problem. They are usually decided on trial and error in order to get a good response. In this paper a method is presented which calculates a steady - state deviation without solving Riccati equation. By using this method, a new procedure for selecting the weighting matrices is proposed when a tolerance on the steady - state deviation is given.

In industrial practice caliber design in shape rolling depends on the designer's experience which in general is obtained through costly trial-and error process. Demonstrated in this paper is an application of the finite element method to the determination of optimal caliber shapes in shape rolling of LM-Guide.

The PI controller has many trial-and-error steps for gain design. This paper proposes a new design concept. In this method, a degree of stability and Kharitonov theory are applied and the controller gain is directly expressed by system parameters and current controller's bandwidth. Simulation results for permanent magnetic synchronous motor(PMSM) driving systems confirm the validity of proposed method.

Mold platen are one of the most important structural components of the injection molding machine. Mold platen had been designed, and manufactured based on the experience and the method of trial and error. Recently, as the computer progress, the numerical simulation method using commercial finite element analysis code has been used to analyze the characteristics of components. It's a urgent problem to reduce the weight of mold platen while preserving the safety and reliability for the structual failure. Finite element analyses to establish basic design technologies and reducing the weight of mold platen were carried out. As result, we are obtained the about 10% reducing the weight for mold platen.

The Standardized Plant Analysis Risk-Human Reliability Analysis (SPAR-H) method is a widely used method in human reliability analysis (HRA). Performance shaping factors (PSFs) refer to the factors that may influence human performance and are used to adjust nominal human error probabilities (HEPs) in SPAR-H. However, the PSFs are assumed to be independent, which is unrealistic and can lead to unreasonable estimation of HEPs. In this paper, a new method is proposed to handle the dependencies among PSFs in SPAR-H to obtain more reasonable results. Firstly, the dependencies among PSFs are analyzed by using decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Then, PSFs are assigned different weights according to their dependent relationships. Finally, multipliers of PSFs are modified based on the relative weights of PSFs. A case study is illustrated that the proposed method is effective in handling the dependent PSFs in SPAR-H, where the duplicate calculations of the dependent part can be reduced. The proposed method can deal with a more general situation that PSFs are dependent, and can provide more reasonable results.

Color is an imfortant factor for interior design. But both selecting the appropriate color and combinating many color are not easy. Actually designers spend much time searching interior images published in magazine to refer to previous cases of the color combination. And the side up, they undergo a process to try to search own hoping color in the interior design example of the magazine. As an alternative to avoid this inefficient process, this study provides a method to show good cases of color combination. This method can reduce trial and error in the determination the color combination.
