One of the obstacles for a magnetic bearing to be used in the wide range of industrial applications is the failure modes associated with magnetic bearings, which we don't expect for conventional passive bearings. These failure modes include electric power outage, power amplifier faults, position sensor faults, and the malfunction of controllers. Fault-tolerant magnetic bearing systems have been proposed so that the system can operate in spite of some faults in the system. In this paper, we designed a fault-tolerant magnetic bearing system for a turbo-molecular vacuum pump. The system can cope with the actuator/amplifier faults which are the most common faults in a magnetic bearing system. We implemented the existing fault-tolerant algorithms to experimentally prove the adequacy of the algorithms for industrial applications. As it turns out, the system can operate even with three simultaneously failing poles out of eight actuator poles.

Recently, a number of researches about linear magnetorheological(MR) damper using valve-mode characteristics of MR fluid have sufficiently undertaken, but researches about rotary MR damper using shear-mode characteristics of MR fluid are not enough. In this paper, we performed vibration control of shear-mode MR damper for unlimited rotating actuator of mobile robot. Also fuzzy logic based vibration control for shear-mode MR damper is suggested. The parameters, like scaling factor of input/output and center of the triangular membership functions associated with the different linguistic variables, are tuned by genetic algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fuzzy-skyhook controller for vibration control of shear-mode MR damper under impact force.

The acidic amino acids, aspartate and glutamate, which have a negative charge in physiological pH, possess the same transport system as neutral amino acids according to the competitive inhibitory studies with the neutral amino acids. The neutral amino acids cotransported with one H+ per molecule, and one K+efflux per one molecule for charge compensation (Cho,1994), but the acidic amino acids cotransported with two H+ per one molecule, and one K+ efflux per one molecule. The active transport system, which possess the same carrier but cotransported with the different number of H+, reported for the first time. from the results, we can see that one of cotransported H+ protonated at first carboxyl group of pK$_3$ of acidic amino acids, and then as a neutral form cotransported with H+ Therefore, Brassica possess two amino acids transport system for 20 amino acids, namely general - and basic amino acids transport system. The evolutionary meaning of amino acid carriers described with other reported plants.

Shock absorber has a great influence on the performance of the vehicle(ride comfort, manipulation, noise, vibration, turning, stability). Therefore, in this study we consider theoretically about general damper, variable damping oil damper, the control of vehicle Characteristics for the suspension, and undesirable phenomenon. And we measured the vibration/noise characteristics of shock absorber for the real car experimentation, strain change, and noise characteristics of shock absorber using experimental equipment. The study of domestic company and research institute on the vehicle shock absorber is active, but that of basis is not. So we think that they should be accomplished actively. Therefore, this paper will develop theoretical system on the vibration/noise characteristics of shock absorber by theoretical consideration and experimental result analysis of dynamic characteristics of shock absorber that were accomplished in this study. Then we will use it as the optimistic design data for shock absorber development.

In this paper, mathematical modeling and dynamic characteristics analysis of a continuously variable damper used for semi-active suspension systems are investigated. After analyzing the geometry of a typical continuously variable damper, models for various components including piston, orifices, spring, and valves are proposed and the flow equations during expansion and compression strokes are derived. To verify the mathematical models developed, the dynamic characteristics of the models are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and are compared with experimental results. It was confirmed that the developed models represent well the actual damper and can be used for control system design.

High-speed railway is important transportation in the world because it is very comfortable, environmental benefits, energy savings, etc. The increase of demand for high-speed railway influence to develop of new hish-speed trains. Many countries introduced new high-speed train in the market. It meets to the market's needs. They adopt new technology and systems like that active suspension, synchronous permanent magnetic motor, distributed drive system, aero acoustics, etc. In Korea, the project for R&D of new high-speed train is launched last year. We need analysis of technical trend of new high-speed trains in the world. This paper presents a overview of technical trend of new high speed trains and what is key issues in development of high-speed train. It is very useful to develop a next generation high-speed train in Korea.

반능동 현가 시스템의 장점은 능동 및 수동 현가 시스템의 장점을 모두 갖고 있다는 것이다. 즉, 반능동 시스템은 수동 현가장치에 비해 우수한 성능을 제공하면서 대형 액츄에이터나 큰 동력 원을 필요로 하지 않는다. 지금까지는 승차감 및 조향성능을 향상시키기 위한 능동 및 반능동 현가시스템에 관한 연구가 많이 이루어졌으나, 능동 또는 반능동 현가시스템을 이용하여 대형 차량의 주행 안정성을 향상시키고, 대형차량에 의해 주로 발생하는 도로의 파손을 줄이면서 차 량의 수송능력을 향상시키는 연구는 최근에 유럽과 미국의 대형트럭 제조업체와 정부 주도로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러므로 반능동 현가시스템에 의한 대형 트럭의 성능 향상 가능성 및 연구 개발도 승용차용 능동 및 반능동 현가시스템과 함께 앞으로의 주 연구 과제이다. 이글에 서는 우선 가변 댐퍼 및 반능동 현가시스템의 기본 원리를 설명하고, 반능동 현가시스템의 Bilinear Model, 제어방법에 대하여 언급한 후, 컴퓨터 모의 실험결과를 통하여 반능동 현가시 스템에 의한 차량의 동적 성능 향상을 두 가지 측면, 즉, 승용차와 대형트럭의 측면에서 언급될 것이다.

Traditional culture technology of medicinal plants mainly depends on the field culture, which has many problems. With progress of modern culture technology, it has become possible to produce valuable secondary metabolites from medicinal plants. In this paper, we discuss about the pigment and saikosaponin production from too medicinal plants, Carthamus tinctorius and Bupleurum falcatum, through bioreactor culture system. A two-stage bioreactor culture system was established for the production of yellow and red pigments and saikosaponins by cell suspension cultures of Carthamus tinctorius and Bupleurum falcatum. In Carthamus tinctorius, balloon type airlift bioreactors and column type airlift bioreactors were employed for the tell culture and for the pigment production, respectively. The greatest pigment production was obtained on White medium supplemented with 4 mg/L kinetin, high levels of sucrose concentration and photosynthetic photon flux. In Bupleurum falcatum, adventitious roots were cultured in balloon type airlift bioreactors and the root growth was greatest on SH medium containing 5 mg/L IBA and 0.2 mg/L kinetin. HPLC analysis showed that the contents of main active saikosaponins a, c, and d in adventitious roots were almost the same as those in field cultured root.

One of the most challenging issues when robots interact with the environment is to establish contact quickly and avoid high impact force at the same time. The proposed method implements the passive suspension system using the redundancy of the torque-controlled robot. Instead of utilizing the actual mechanical compliance, the distal joints near the end-effector are controlled to act as a virtual spring-damper system with low feedback gains. The proximal joints are precisely controlled to push the mid-link, which is defined as the boundary link between the proximal and distal joints, towards the environment with high feedback gains. Compared to the active compliance methods, the contact force measurements or estimates are not required for contact establishment and the control time delay problems do not occur correspondingly. The proposed method was applied to the landing foot control of the 12-DoF biped robot DYROS-RED in the simulations. In the results, the impact force during landing was significantly reduced at the same collision speed.
