In this paper, we propose a method of cooperative control(T-cell modeling) and selection of group behavior strategy(B-cell modeling) based on immune system in distributed autonomous robotic system(DARS). Immune system is living body's self-protection and self-maintenance system. Thus these features can be applied to decision making of optimal swarm behavior in dynamically changing environment. For the purpose of applying immune system to DARS, a robot is regarded as a B cell, each environmental condition as an antigen, a behavior strategy as an antibody and control parameter as a T-call respectively. The executing process of proposed method is as follows. When the environmental condition changes, a robot selects an appropriate behavior strategy. And its behavior strategy is stimulated and suppressed by other robot using communication. Finally much stimulated strategy is adopted as a swarm behavior strategy. This control scheme is based of clonal selection and idiotopic network hypothesis. And it is used for decision making of optimal swarm strategy. By T-cell modeling, adaptation ability of robot is enhanced in dynamic environments.

This paper proposes the reverse current control method of synchronous boost converter for fuel cell. In order to implement a high efficiency charger with the synchronous boost converter, using MOSFETs instead of diodes is essential. Using the conventional boosting method, the reverse current is generated during transient state due to the nature of fuel-cell which needs soft starting depending on the amount of hydrogen. By using PWM control method, fuel-cell can be protected from being damaged by reverse current, so synchronous boosting method can be applied to charger applications. The experimental results are shown to verify that the implementation of high-efficiency converter is possible.

The purpose of this study was to aid in the prediction of tumor cell tolerance to radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. For this study, cell surviving curves were obtained for human squamous cell carcinoma KB cell line after radiation exposure and/or administration of antitumor drugs. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10Gy were irradiated at a dose rate of 210cGy/min using /sup 60/Co Irradiator ALDORADO 8. After irradiation, KB cell lines (3×104cells/ml) were exposed to 2㎍/ml of bleomycin or cisplatin for 1 hour. The viable cells were determined by MTT assay for each radiation dose and/or each drug at the 4th day. And they were compared to control values. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The slope of the surviving curve after irradiation of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10Gy on KB cell line was relatively steep. 2. There was no significant difference between the cytotoxicity of bleomycin compared to control group. But, there was significant difference between the cytotoxicity of cisplatin compared to control group. And the cytotoxicity of cisplatin was greater than that of bleomycin on KB cell line. 3. There were significant differences of surviving fractions after irradiation of 2Gy and 10Gy with 2㎍/ml of bleomycin compared with the groups of irradiation only on KB cell line. 4. There were significant differences of surviving fractions after irradiation of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10Gy with 2㎍/ml of cisplatin compared with the groups of irradiation only on KB cell line. 5. There was significant difference of surviving fraction between groups after irradiation of 10Gy with 2㎍/ml of bleomycin and cisplatin.

In this paper, a priority schedling and a flow control algorithm with hysteresis effect are proposed for high-speed networks. A mathematical model for the flow control is proposed and a cell transition probability from this model is found. And the performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed by a computer simulation. According to the simulation results, it can be shown that the priority scheduling and the flow control with hysteresis effect get the cell loss probability 0.061 better and the average delay 100ms better and the average delay 100ms beter than those of single threshold.

Cancer cell lysis at pulsed DC is realized using micromachined electrodes. In this research, quantitative analyses are performed on cell lysis results. The cell volume increasing at the pulses applied are analyzed in different medium conditions on osmotic pressure and conductivity, and the cell lysis procedures are studied in detail experimentally. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) is used as the medium. To change the conductivity of PBS, NaCl concentration of PBS is adjusted, and inositol is used with PBS to control the effects of the osmotic pressure to cell lysis performance.

This paper present a new priority control mechanism which is to balance the cell loss rate by measuring, in real time, the number of discarded cells in the queuing system with a different loss priority for each class of service such that each class of service meets its cell loss rate requirements. And, to reduce the delay rates we modified existing cell scheduling scheme. Throughout the computer simulation, the existing methods and proposed scheme is compared with respect to cell loss rate and average delay time. In the result of simulation, the proposed scheme have more improved performance than the other schemes with respect to cell loss rate and average delay time.

In this study, we designed HAN(hybrid-aligned nematic) cell using novel tilt angle control method. It was possible to make novel HAN cell using a single polyimide by hot plate baking method. This new HAN cells showed slower response time as compared with conventional HAN cell. However, the alignment state and V-T curve of HAN cell using novel method were acceptable. Also, it showed better C-V characteristic than that of conventional HAN cell.

Autologous blood transfusion is a common method of reducing the need for homologous blood transfusion during cardiac operations. Between June 1991 and May 1992, 12 cases [Group I] were experienced autologous blood transfusion using Cell Saver undergoing double valve replacement or redo-valve replacement. Control group [N=12, Group II] was selected to above similar operation during same period. The Cell Saver system [Haemonetics Corp.] was employed for autologous blood transfusion. The blood shed in the operative field before and after cardiopulmonary bypass and remained cardiotomy reservior was aspirated by means of a locally heparinized collecting system. After centrifused salvaged blood, the resulting red cell concentrate reinfused subsequently. The patient receiving autologous blood transfusion required significantly less homologous blood transfusion than their control group. [Group I; 3519 $\pm$ 869, Group II; 4622 $\pm$ 856, Respectively; P=0.005] There were no clinical infections in the autotransfusion group. And there was no apparent intergroup difference of the clinical findings, hematologio datas and coagulation parameters. We conclude the autotransfusion using Cell Saver is effective for reducing of the hom-ologlous blood transfusion in cardiac surgery.

In the design of the fuel cell charger, it is important to find out the suitable topology and to design the converter to guarantee the performance of the fuel cell as well as the battery. Most of the chargers developed so far have used step-down converters. However, since the small fuel cell stack can only generate a low voltage, it is required to use the step-up converter to charge the battery. In this paper, a modified non-isolated boost charger topology for the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is proposed to meet the strict ripple requirements for the battery charge and its control method by using PI controller is detailed. The feasibility of the proposed topology and its control method is then verified by the experiments.
