The most general feature of contact zone among the mechanical components is elliptical circle. In particular, continuously variable transmission (CVT) of toroidal type has elliptical shape of contact zone under the elastohydrodynamic lubrication condition, where the power is transmitted by the shearing the efluid. Due to the traction of the shear behaviors of lubricant over the small elliptical contact zone, high power of torque is transmitted. During the power transmission, many kinds of mechanical movements occur such as squeezing, sliding, rolling and spinning. The spinning effect that is not common contact behavior in tribological components frequently makes significant abnormal wear damage. In this work, the analysis of elliptical contact of elastohydrodynamic lubrication with spin effect is performed, which will give very useful information to understand the traction behaviors in toroidal type of CVT system.

The structure of premixed turbulent flames in a constant-volume vessel was investigated using a microprobe method. The flame potential signal having one to eight peaks was detected in the case of turbulent flames, each of them being regarded as a flamelet existing in the flame zone. Based on this consideration, the flame propagation speed, the thickness of the flame zone, the number of flamelets and the separation distance between adjacent flamelets in the flame zone were measured. The experimental resuits of this work suggest the existence of "reactant islands" behind the flame front when the turbulence was intensified to some extent. The critical(lowest) ratio of turbulence intensity to the laminar burning velocity being found to be about 0.7 for the formation of reactant islands in this experiment.

Various concentration of formaldehyde solution (1%, 5%, 10%) were applied to cut pulp surface, for 3 minutes and the remaining pulp were carefully examined histo-pathologically. The result were as follows, 1. One week survival group which were treated by 1% formaldehyde solution showed seperation of odontoblast layer randomly and the weil's zone was undistinguishable. Deeper portion of this area was necrotic or coagulated. 2. Two week survival group which were treated 1% formaldehyde solution showed necrotic appearance spread from odontoblastic layer to weil's zone. 3. One and two week survival group which were treated 5% formaldehyde solution showed the odontoblastic layer was highly necrotic, under this zone empty net-work was seen. 4. One and two week survival group treated 10% formaldehyde solution showed complete destruction of pulp.

In this work, a deadlock avoidance strategy is proposed in order to effectively handle conflicts and deadlocks occurring in zone-control AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) systems. The basic idea is based on Capacity-designated Directed Graph (CDG) theory that was developed to avoid from deadlocks in manufacturing systems. However, to enforce the effectiveness of detecting impending and restricted deadlocks, AGV routings are explicitly described in Extended Directed Graph (EDG). From EDG, a non-conservative deadlock-avoidance strategy is derived. The superiority of the proposed strategy lies on the applicability to diverse AGV path configurations using zone control. Also, because of its insensibility and robustness, it can be effectively used when the system has randomness and stochastic nature.

A mathematical model for the analysis of roll gap phenomena in strip temper rolling process is described. The mechanical peculiarities of temper rolling process, such as high friction value and non-circular contact arc, low reduction and non-negligible entry and exit elastic zones as well as central restricted deformation (preliminary displacement or sticking) zone etc., are all taken into account. The deformation of work rolls is calculated with the influence function method and arbitrary contact arc shape is permitted. The strip deformation is modeled by slab method and the entry and exit elastic deformation zones are included. The restricted deformation zone near the neutral point is also considered. The concept and the calculation method of limiting preliminary displacement are used to determine the length of the central restricted deformation zone. The comparison of the model results with the measured mill data is also made.

This study was performed to evaluate the whole-body vibration and occupational noise for excavator drivers. Measurement, evaluation and assessment were based on the ISO 2631 and OSHA. Average vibration level was 0.65m/$s^2$(z axis) for breaking work and 0.36 m/$s^2$(z axis) for excavating work. Vibration levels during breaking work exceed the health guidance caution zone and this means that the drivers are exposed to potential health risks. Average daily noise exposure level was 86.4 dB(A) for breaking work and 84.6 dB(A) for excavating work.

This paper presents a nonlinear controller design for optical disk drive systems to improve anti-shock performance. The nonlinear anti-shock controller is added parallel to the original linear servo control loop. In the previous work, a dead-zone nonlinear element is used for the nonlinear controller and a PID control method is used for the linear controller. Although this parallel structure of the controller improves anti-shock performance, it has a narrow stability bound. In this paper, the dead-zone with saturation nonlinear element is proposed for the nonlinear controller. Since this nonlinear element improves stability margin, we can use higher slope gain of dead-zone than that of nonlinear controller using dead-zone only. In the linear controller design, it is shown that the lead-lag control has an improved stability margin over PID control. Numerical simulation results and experimental results show that the proposed method can get better performance to the external shock than previously proposed methods.

We present the case of a 45-year-old man with a history of benzene exposure who developed splenic marginal zone lymphoma. For 6 years, he had worked in an enclosed space cleaning instruments with benzene. He was diagnosed with splenic marginal zone lymphoma 19 years after retirement. During his time of working in the laboratory in the 1980s, working environments were not monitored for hazardous materials. We indirectly estimated the cumulative level of past benzene exposure using job-exposure matrices and technical assumptions. Care must be taken in investigating the relevance of occupational benzene exposure in the occurrence of indolent B-cell lymphoma. Because of the long latency period and because occupational measurement data do not exist for the period during the patient's exposure, the epidemiological impact of benzene exposure may be underestimated.

The theoretical propagation modes of radio waves in the area of Line of Sight(LOS) within Fresnel zone are searched for the available detection ranges in a Marine RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The structural LOS model to Earth's curvature is proposed and, the calculation method of horizontal distance in a specific radio frequency is also considered in this work As studying results, it is found that the height of antenna to cover the detection ranges and the influences of detection ranges by weather environments can be analyse with the theoretical methods.

At the moment many welfare complexes are being constructed in Korea as the welfare demand of contemporary society increases. However, there are a few useful guidelines for the planning of the welfare complexes. So it is not easy for the local governments to work out the proper plan for the construction of welfare complexes for their own. This study has been started in order to provide basic informations for the planning of Korean welfare complexes. The result of this study can be summarized into two points. The first one is that 8 welfare services (elderly, women, children, nursery, adolescence, handicapped, health care, public support) are necessary in general welfare complexes in local governments. The second one is that 4 welfare zones are desirable for the planning of welfare complexes. For example, the 1st zone is consist of welfare services for the adolescence, women and children, the 2nd zone for the elderly, handicapped, the 3rd zone for the public support and the 4th zone for the health care.
