The purpose of this paper is to develop the algorithm of human arousal inducing interface using steady-state visual evoked potential(SSVEP) and its verification through experiments. In order to develop the model, computer-based SSVEP program simulation is preliminary performed. From the results of the simulation, stimulus pattern is decided to checkerboard and SSVEP frequency range is set into beta wave (13~30Hz). After the experiment on proving the effect of SSVEP flashing stimulation while driving by installing it at the location of people mostly falling asleep in the highway, the result confirms that both during the night and the day, after SSVEP flashing stimulation, a wave Beta immediately increases and the subjects keep high stimulation for the 5 minute maintaining stage.

In this paper, we have designed signal conditioning circuitry for piezoresistive pressure sensor. Signal conditioning circuitry consists of voltage reference circuit for sensor driving voltage and instrument amplifier for sensor signal amplification. Signal conditioning circuitry is simulated using HSPICE in a single poly double metal $1.5\;{\mu}m$ BiCMOS technology. Simulation results of band-gap reference circuit showed that temperature coefficient of $21\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ at the temperature range of $0\;{\sim}\;70^{\circ}C$ and PSRR of 80 dB. Simulation results of BiCMOS amplifier showed that dc voltage gain, offset voltage, CMRR, CMR and PSRR are outperformed to CMOS and Bipolar, but power dissipation and noise voltage were more improved in CMOS than BiCMOS and Bipolar. Designed signal conditioning circuitry showed high input impedance, low offset and good CMRR, therefore, it is possible to apply sensor and instrument signal conditioning circuitry.

To analyze the grain transport velocity, which is valuable for optimizing the separation losses, an oscillating appratus for sieve was designed. The grain transport velocity was measured in each combination of three amplitude levels, three rpm levels and four projection angle levels. To analyze the grain transport velocity theortically, two computer programs were developed. And the results from experiment and theoretical analysis were compared. 1. The grain transport velocity was increased with the projection angle of oscillating sieve. Especially when the projection angle is higher than $45^{\circ}$ the grain transport velocity on the flat-plate was not increased but on the racked surface was increased persistently. 2. The grain transport velocity was increased linearly with the frequency of oscillating motion. The speed of driving link must be higher than 350 rpm at 24mm amplitude, 250 rpm at 36 mm amplitude to transport the grain efficiently. 3. The grain transport velocity was increased with the amplitude of oscillating motion. But if the amplitude was smaller than interval of racks, the grain on the racked surface was not transported, even though the projection angle or the speed of revolutionary link was increased. 4. The transport characteristics of a grain varied with the amplitude and projection angle. Especially in the range of 1.5 < K < 2.3 at $45^{\circ}$ projection angle the transportation of grain was successful and the grain motion consisted of sliding movement (forward, backward) and jumping movement, which is considered recommendable for separating process of a combine sieve. 5. The results from theoretical analysis were approximately in accord with that from experiment.

The method of induction noise reduction can be classified by using passive control or active control method. However, the passive control method has a demerit to reduce the effect of noise reduction to low frequency (below) 500Hz) range and to be limited in a space of the engine room. Whereas, the active control method can overcome the demerit of passive control method. The algorithm of active control is mostly used in LMS (Least-Mean-Square) algorithm because it can obtain the complex transfer function easily in real-time. Especially, Filtered-X LMS (FXLMS) algorithm is applied to an ANC system. However, the convergence performance of LMS algorithm could not match if the FXLMS algorithm is applied to an active control of the induction noise under rapidly accelerated driving conditions. So, in order to solve the problem in this study, the Moving Bandpass Filter(MBPF) was proposed and implemented. The ANC using MBPF for the reduction of the induction noise shows that more noise reduction as 4dB than without MBPF.

Pr\ulcornerO\ulcorner-based ZnO varistors were fabricated in the range of $Y_2$O$_3$additive content from 0.5 to 4.0mol%, and its microstructure and electrical properties were investigated. Yttrium was distributed nearly in the grain boundaries and the cluster phase formed at nodal point but more in cluster phase. The average grain size was decreased markedly from 34.9 to 8.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with increasing $Y_2$O$_3$additive content. It is believed that the decrease of grain size is attributed to the formation of cluster phase and the weakening of driving force for liquid sintering. As a result, $Y_2$O$_3$was acted as the inhibitor of the grain growth. With increasing $Y_2$O$_3$additive content, the varistor voltage, the activation energy, and the nonlinear exponent increased whereas the leakage current decreased, especially 4.0mol% $Y_2$O$_3$-added varistor exhibited very good I-V characteristics; nonlinear exponent 87.42 and leakage current 46.77nA. On the other hand, as $Y_2$O$_3$additive content increases, the varistor showed tendency of the salient decrease for donor concentration and the increase for barrier height. Conclusively, it is estimated that ZnO:Pr varistor compositions added more than 2.0mol% $Y_2$O$_3$are to be used to fabricate useful varistors.

The method of the reduction of the automotive induction noise can be classified by the method of passive control and the method of active control. However, the passive control method has a demerit to reduce the effect of noise reduction at low frequency (below 500Hz) range and to be limited by a space of the engine room. Whereas, the active control method can overcome the demerit of passive control method. The algorithm of active control is mostly used the LMS (Least-Mean-Square) algorithm because the LMS algorithm can easily obtain the complex transfer function in real-time. Especially, When the Filtered-X LMS (FXLMS) algorithm is applied to an ANC system. However, the convergence performance of LMS algorithm goes bad when the FXLMS algorithm is applied to an active control of the induction noise under rapidly accelerated driving conditions. Thus Normalized FXLMS algorithm was developed to improve the control performance under the rapid acceleration. The advantage of Normalized FXLMS algorithm is that the step size is no longer constant. Instead, it varies with time. But there is one additional practical difficulty that can arise when a nonstationary input is used. If the input is zero for consecutive samples, then the step size becomes unbounded. So, in order to solve this problem. the Correlation FXLMS algorithm was developed. The Correlation FXLMS algorithm is realized by using an estimate of the cross correlation between the adaptation error and the filtered input signal to control the step size. In this paper, the performance of the Correlation FXLMS Is presented in comparison with that of the other FXLMS algorithms based on computer simulations.

We propose an acousto-optic technique for the nondestructive evaluation of adhesion properties of a Pt/Ti thin-film interface. Since there are some problems encountered when using prevailing techniques to nondestructively evaluate the interfacial properties of micro/nano-scale thin-films, we applied an interferometer that combined the acoustic and optical methods. This technique is based on the Michelson interferometer but the resultant surface of the thin film specimen makes interference instead of the mirror when the interface is excited from the acoustic transducer at the driving frequency. The thin film shows resonance-like behavior at a certain frequency range, resulting in a low-contrast fringe pattern. Therefore, we represented quantitatively the change in fringe pattern as a frequency spectrum and discovered the possibility that the interfacial adhesion properties of a thin film can be evaluated using the newly proposed technique.

Recently, according to traffic accident statistics, traffic accidents occurring at night are as frequent as those during daytime, but their death rate is 1.5 times higher than that of daytime traffic accidents. This problem originates that the insufficient range of vision security of a driver causes the inappropriate accident confrontation. Therefore, in this paper, a microcontroller-based digital control method for the superior performance in headlight system is presented for optimal control that can adapt complex transient state, steady state and various environments. Specially in vehicles# headlight, its fundamental purpose is to implement the artificial headlight system which automatically controls the lighting patterns most adaptive to driving, road and weather conditions. Therefore we aimed at the development of headlight system, focused on the implementation of an artificial vehicle, of more advanced convenience and safety for drivers.

The ejector is a simple device which can transport a low-pressure secondary flow by using a high-pressure primary flow. In general, it consists of a primary driving nozzle, a mixing section, and a diffuser. The ejector system entrains the secondary flow through a shear action generated by the primary jet. Until now, a large number of researches have been made to design and evaluate the ejector systems, where it is assumed that the ejector system has an infinite secondary chamber which can supply mass infinitely. However, in almost all of the practical applications, the ejector system has a finite secondary chamber implying steady flow can be possible only after the flow inside ejector has reached an equilibrium state after the starting process. To the authors' best knowledge, there are no reports on the starting characteristics of the ejector systems and none of the works to date discloses the detailed flow process until the secondary chamber flow reaches an equilibrium state. The objective of the present study is to investigate the starting process of an ejector-diffuser system. The present study is also planned to identify the operating range of ejector-diffuser systems where the steady flow assumption can be applied without uncertainty. The results obtained show that the one and only condition in which an infinite mass entrainment is possible is the generation of a recirculation zone near the primary nozzle exit. The flow in the secondary chamber attains a state of dynamic equilibrium at this point.
