This paper presents a design of seat mechanism for multi-postures controllable wheelchair. The possible seat postures are reclining, tilting, standing, which are controlled by four seat mechanisms using four linear actuators. The seat mechanisms designed in this study are reclining, tilting, forward-tilting, and elevation mechanism. Three postures except standing are controlled by corresponding mechanisms, but the standing posture is performed by combination of the reclining and the forward-tilting mechanism. Posture control system is composed of PID controllers and a planner to determine a feasible posture based on a posture transition diagram. Simulation results show that the seat mechanism and its control system are applicable to a multi-postures controllable wheelchair.

Ultrasonic knives have been successfully used for the surgery of many medical fields. However, the conventional ultrasonic knives for surgical operation cannot be controlled its resonant frequency. So if the material to cut has different characteristic impedance then different ultrasonic knife will be needed. Because the optimum driving frequency of ultrasonic knife is different by characteristic impedance of material. In this work, using a frequency variable ultrasonic transducer made of multi-layered PZT vibrator, a frequency controllable ultrasonic knife will be suggested. The design and computation principles will be also derived. For this work, firstly, the characteristics of this ultrasonic knife will be analyzed by transmission line model equivalent circuit, and the free admittance characteristics and vibrational velocity distributions will be obtained. Secondly, we will design and make the frequency controllable electrical oscillator for driving this ultrasonic knife.

This paper describes allocation strategies of controllable loads for load aggregator in power market with the direct load control (DLC) program, which is carried out the two-way confirmation procedure. So, it is needed to the priority among the controllable loads to perform effectively and quickly the confirmation task. In this paper, allocation strategies for market operator and/or load aggregator are proposed, which are based on the basic load patterns defined in this paper. To verify the soundness of proposed strategies. case study on a sample system is performed.

A 900MHz CMOS RF power amplifier with digitally controllable output power has been proposed and designed with 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ standard CMOS technology. The designed power amplifier was composed of digitally controllable switch mode pre-amplifiers with an integrated 4nH spiral inductor load and class-C output stage. Especially, to compensate the 1ow Q of integrated spiral inductor, cascode amplifier with a Q-enhancement circuit is used. It has been shown that the proposed power control technique allows the output power to change from almost 3dBm to 13.5dBm. And it has a maximum PAE(Power Added Efficiency) of almost 55％ at 900MHz operating frequency and 3V power supply voltage.

The vibration and impact hinders the movement of micro dynamic system. The controllable micro damper is a solution for this problem. In this paper, the controllable micro damper for MR(Magneto - Rheological) Fluid is designed and fabricated using bulk micromachining process and organic bonding technique. The damping constant of micro MR damper changes according to input magnetic field. The response of the micro MR damper is measured and the experimental results are compared.

This paper introduces user intervention to control simulation states during the execution of a simulation for military engagements. In an engagement simulation, it covers both a discrete event system and a continuous state system. Thus a system for the engagement simulation can have numerous simulation states, because there are lots of factors to decide states of an engagement that are derived during an execution of the simulation (e. g. detection probability, moving speed, moving path, and so on). It means both a result and progression of simulations are important outputs. Configuration of an engagement simulation scenario and expectation of simulation states, though, is hindered by the number of generate-able states. In order to solve the obstacle, the engagement simulation system should be controllable by user intervention during a simulation execution. This paper is to define objects of user intervention, and to design control processes of defined objects.

Nowadays Laser Controllable Thermo-cleaving is the most promising method of cutting FPD(Flat Panel Display) glass in mass-production line. And this method can be used to cut other brittle materials such as quartz, sapphire, ceramic and semiconductor. The concept of this method is shown in Picture 1. Laser beam heats glass up to strain point not to melting point and cooling system chills glass to make maximum thermal stress in glass and then the thermal stress generates micro thermal crack in other words blind crack. Laser Controllable Thermo-cleaving controls the thermal stress to optimize the blind crack up to level of mass-production line.

In this study, the static and the dynamic characteristics of the load-sensitive hydraulic pump control systems of a hydraulic excavator were analyzed using the developed analysis tool. The results were compared with the experimental ones. To improve the static performance of the system, the system parameter effects on the controllable region and the pump pressure variation were studied. The parameters enhancing dynamic characteristics were also considered.

We consider a proportionate flow shop problem with controllable processing times. The objective is to minimize the sum of total completion time and total compression cost, in which the cost function of compressing the processing times is non-decreasing concave. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial time by reducing it to a polynomially solvable 0-1 unconstrained quadratic program.

We suggest a viewing angle control mode of liquid crystal display(LCD) with additive thermal controllable optical layer [TCOL], which composed of homeotropically or homogenously well aligned LC layer and patterned hating lines on a substrate. In this system, LCD modes with wide viewing angle characteristics can be used as a main panel.
