The amount of container freight is continuously increasing recently, but freight congestion problem frequently occurs at ports due to low efficiency of container crane in transportation and cargo handling. In this paper, a method for designing a fuzzy controller of the container crane system is presented. In this scheme a mathematical model for the system is obtained in state space representation. The response of the proposed fuzzy controller is compared with that of the optimal controller at the same condition. Through the simulation results, the performance of the fuzzy controller was observed better than that of optimal controller in respect of reference change, disturbances and parameter change. The fuzzy controller was also more stable and robust than the optimal controller.

Some electronics component, which is adopted as components of antenna for radar or satellite system and used for amplifying signals to transmit, is accompanied by very significant heat dissipation levels because of the inefficiencies inherent in radio frequency wave generation. So, proper cooling performance for that system is base requirement for thermal design. On this paper, we applied heat spreading structures to reduce thermal density and find the optimum values of heat sink design factors through theoretically, numerically and evaluated by product test. As the results, the performance of the cooling system shows the propriety of cooling high density heat dissipation electronics components.

Conduction heat transfer in heat spreaders with concentrated heat sources is analyzed by finite element method calculation and the results are compared to analytical solutions for simplified cases. The local temperature rise is dependent on the heat flux, thermal conductivity of the spreader material, and the contact size of the heat source. The effect of the adjacency of other heat sources is also examined.

Productivity of container cranes and gantry cranes is influenced by the performance of crane hardware and cycle time. Cycle time in container handling is influenced by the path of containers and relative positioning of containers. So we have to minimize the sway of containers and spreaders to minimize relative positioning time. And sway minimization is influenced by the skill of workers in manual gantry cranes. In this paper, we will develop anti-sway system using mechanical and electrical method. Proposed hybrid system uses the basic structure of general manual gantry crane. So, it is very useful and effective. Electrical methods are main methods and mechanical methods are auxiliary methods.

In conventional automatic container-terminal, the gantry cranes are operated manually or semi-automatically. But UGC is an unmanned-operated gantry crane and the positioning information for UGC is supplied only by position-measuring devices. In order to enhance the operation efficiency of UGC, it is required that the position-measuring devices have long maintenance period and are not sensitive to the weather and environment condition. And in order to be used practically in container terminal, the cost of position-measuring devices is not higher than currently used measuring devices. In the study, it is discussed the requirements for position-measuring devices in UGC, And it is studied on the measuring devices suitable to UGC. From this study, it is expected that the combination of a rotary encoder and a ferrous metal detector is useful for position-measuring devices in UGC.

Plants as well as crops are damaged by a combination of the hot and dry winds that has been a major factor in the reduction of crop production. A means to protect them from damaging conditions is to consider a coating material. In this study, we established laboratory screening methods to find a coating material to protect a crop from rapid transpiration caused by various factors. In a test measuring the weight loss of kidney bean seedlings for 6 days, Avion treatments decreased its weight loss (P=0.05). Owing to long-time spend in completing this assay, we performed a more simple method using a cobalt chloride paper strip, which changes from blue to red colors under water condition. Beewax, guagum, paraffin liquid, soybean oil, and PE-635 gave a waterproofing effect above 37 and 43% at 0.5 and 1 h after treatment, respectively. However, these tested materials did not show significant waterproofing results at 2 h. Although the methods produced reasonable results, a screening method to obtain more objective data is needed. An alternative is to use an instrument that can detect the transpiration of crop leaves. In a preliminary test using barley leaves, a portable photosynthesis system showed transpiration inhibition of 2% soybean oil and 10 times-diluted Avion under field conditions. In another test using the leaves of maize seedlings and apricot tree, 2% liquid paraffin and plant oils such as apricot oil, linseed oil, olive oil, and soybean oil showed significant transpiration inhibition (P=0.05). Especially, paraffin liquid and soybean oil selected from above tests gave good transpiration inhibitory effects against rice at 2%. In addition, the mixture of 2% soybean oil and a spreader showed more elevated inhibition results comparing with soybean oil or the spreader alone indicating that the spreader may be attributed to more uniform diffusion of the hydrophobic material onto the leaf surface of maize seedlings. The hydrophobic material coated physically the stomata and cuticle layers on leaf surfaces of rice. These hydrophobic materials screened in this study are expected to be used as plant coating materials.

Organosilicone-based surfactants consist of hydrophobic organosilicone groups coupled to hydrophilic polar groups. Organosilicone surfactants have been widely used in many industrial fields starting from polyurethane foam to construction materials, cosmetics, paints & inks, agrochemicals, etc., because of their low surface tension, lubricity, spreading, water repellency and thermal and chemical stability, resulted from the unique properties of organosilicone. Especially, trisiloxane surfactants, having low molecular weight organosilicone as hydrophobe, exhibit low surface tension and excellent wettability and spreadability, leading to their applications as super wetter/super spreader, but have the disadvantage of vulnerability to hydrolysis. A variety of trisiloxane surfactant structures are required to provide the functional improvement and the defect resolution for reflecting the necessities in the various applications. This review covers the synthetic schemes of reactive trisiloxanes as hydrophobic siloxane backbones, the main reaction schemes, such as hydrosilylation reaction, for coupling reactive trisiloxanes to hydrophilic groups, and the synthetic schemes of the main trisiloxane surfactants including polyether-, carbohydrate-, gemini-, bolaform-, double trisiloxane-type surfactants.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing effect of warm lateral condensation technique by Endotec spreader, comparing with other canal filling techniques. One hundred and forty extracted human teeth with single canal were instrumented and randomly divided into four groups according to canal filling techniques including lateral condensation with sealer, warm lateral condensation with sealer, warm lateral condensation without sealer, and injection-molded thermoplasticized gutta-percha without sealer. Obturated canals were exposed to 2 % methylene blue solution at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours and measurement of the degree of microleakage was done linearly and volumetrically with stereozoom microscope and UV-spectrophotometer respectively. The results were as follows ; When sealer was used, the canals obturated by warm lateral condensation showed less leakage linearly and volumetrically than the canals obturated by standard lateral condensation with no statistically significant difference. The obturated canals by warm lateral condensation with sealer showed less leakage linearly and volumetrically than the canals obturated by warm lateral condensation without sealer and by injection-molded thermoplasticized gutta-percha without sealer with statistical significance (p<0.05). No statistical difference revealed that the group filled with the use of the Endotec had significantly less leakage than any of the other groups. There was a significant correlation between the linear measurement and volumetric measurement(r=0.4459, p<0.05).
