The tribological properties of eight different liquid crystals were investigated in a concentrated point contact device and a ball-on-flat contact. For comparison, the same tests were also performed with commercial greases and the corresponding base oils. Under the fully flooded conditions studied, liquid crystals in a concentrated point contact showed lower friction than commercial greases and greater film thickness dependence on rolling speed than grease base oils or greases. Test results also showed that the film thickness and friction were little influenced by the composition of the examined liquid crystals.

Laser ablation of glass substrates (8K-7 and synthetic quartz) using a transversely excited atmospheric (TEA) $CO_2$ laser has been inverstigated to obtain high speed etching. The ablation occurs by local heating of a substrate with a focused TEA-$CO_2$ laser beam. The dependence of ablation rate on pulse count and repetition-rate of laser has been discussed.

The physical origin of complex dynamic domain configuration in nonequilibrium magnetic systems with mesoscopic length scales has been studied. An increasing complexity in the spatial feature of the evolution is found to accompany the increasing reversal speed, when a ferromagnetic element is driven by progressively faster switching fields applied antiparallel to the initial magnetization direction. As reversal rates approach the characteristic precession frequencies of spin fluctuations, the thermal energy can boost the magnetization into local configurations which are completely different from those experienced during quasistatic reversal. The sensitive dependence of the spatial pattern on switching speed can be understood in terms of a dynamic exchange interaction of thermally excited spins; the coherent modulation of the spins is strongly dependent on the rise time of switching pulses.

This paper presents a robust and speed-sensorless stator flux estimation for induction motor direct torque control. The proposed observer is based on sliding mode approach. Stator electrical equations are used in the rotor orientation reference frame to eliminate the observer dependence on rotor speed. Lyapunov's concept for systems stability is adopted to confine the observer gain. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the observer to parameter mismatch is recovered with an adaptation technique. The nonlinearities of the pulse width modulation voltage source inverter are estimated and compensated to enhance stability at low speeds. Therefore, a new method based on the model reference adaptive system is proposed. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

In the paper, a proposed VCO based on bondwire inductances and nMOS varactors was implemented in a standard $0.25\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. Using the new drain current model and a propagation delay time model equations, the operation speed of CMOS gate will predict the dependence on the load capacitance and the depth of oxide, threshold voltage, the supply voltage, the channel length. This paper describes the result of simulation which calculated a gate propagation delay time by using new drain current model and a propagation delay time model. At the result, When the reverse bias voltage on the substrate changes from 0 voltage to 3 voltage, the propagation delay time is appeared the delay from 0.8 nsec to 1 nsec. When the reverse voltage is biased on the substrate, for reducing the speed delay time, a supply voltage has to reduce. The $g_m$ value of MOSFET is calculated by using new drain current model.

This paper deals with a robust controller for an induction motor (IM) which is represented as a linear parameter varying systems. To do so linear matrix inequality (LMI) based approach and robust Lyapunov feedback are associated. This approach is related to the fact that the synthesis of a linear parameter varying (LPV) feedback controller for the inner loop take into account rotor resistance and mechanical speed as varying parameter. An LPV flux observer is also synthesized to estimate rotor flux providing reference to cited above regulator. The induction motor is described as a polytopic LPV system because of speed and rotor resistance affine dependence. Their values can be estimated on line during systems operations. The simulation and experimental results largely confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control.

Physical interconnect such as Printed Circuit Board(PCB) traces introduces new challenges for parameter extraction and delay calculation for high-speed system design. PCB traces are dominated by frequency dependent LC propagation which makes precharacterization difficult for all possible configurations. Moreover, simulating the transient behavior of the trace for noise and delay analysis requries the combined used of a variety of models and techniques for efficiently handling lossy, low-loss, frequency dependent, and coupled transmission lines together with lumped elements. In this paper we explain how the frequency dependence caused by ground plane proximity and skin effects can be modeled using the adstracted models. These abstracted (lumped) models are SPICE-compatible and can be simulated in time-domain, along with precharacterized lumped parasitic elements and nonlinear driver and load models.

We have developed an integrated giant magneto resistance using not only circuit but also integrating technique with semiconductor for automobile application. It has four elements used for giant magneto resistance sensor. Ni-Fe/Cu multi layers were prepared on a glass substrate by magnetron sputtering. The dependence of magneto resistance on the thickness of the Ni-Fe and Cu layers was investigated. The MR ratio showed a saturated a peak at Cu layer $10{\AA}$, Ni-Fe layer $50{\AA}$, where the MR ratio is about 8.7% at room temperature. By means of Ni-Fe multi film and specific integrating technique, these new giant magneto resistance sensor showed excellent resistance characteristics.

Recently, researches for high-speed optical devices have been increased to provide mass data transmission and high-speed optical communication. Optical modulator in the transmission link is one of the crucial devices in total optical network system and it can affect a great effect to the whole transmission properties. In this paper, traveling wave electro-absorption modulator (TWEAM) is examined to ensure high efficiency in the RF range and wide bandwidth. In addition, the temperature-dependence electrical characteristics of TWEAM is investigated. Temperature dependent property variations were characterized using I-V and C-V measurement.

The yield stress of stirred yogurt was measured by the vane viscometer at different pre-shearing conditions, such as pre-shear speed, pre-shear time, and wait time, and temperature (12-38${^{\circ}C}$). The yield stress ranged from ~17.6 to 10 Pa and from 34.2 to 11.9 Pa, depending on the pre-shearing conditions and temperature, respectively. The preshear speed and the wait time significantly affected the yield stress. The temperature dependence of the yield stress was described by the Eyring's kinetic model. The linear function of the temperature on the yield stress was limited at the 22${^{\circ}C}$, and at the above 22${^{\circ}C}$, the yield stress was maintained to be a constant (~12.5 Pa).
