Properties and potential applications of the block pulse response circulant matrix (PRCM) and its singular value decomposition (SVD) are investigated in relation to MIMO control and identification. The SVD of the PRCM is found to provide complete directional as well as frequency decomposition of a MIMO system in a real matrix form. Three examples were considered: design of MIMO FIR controller, design of robust reduced-order model predictive controller, and input design for MIMO identification. The examples manifested the effectiveness and usefulness of the PRCM in the design of MIMO control and identification. irculant matrix, SVD, MIMO control, identification.

Objectives : This literature review was researched to observe the evidence of effect of moxibustion in adipose tissue decomposition. Methods : We reviewed studies which contained lipolysis effect of moxibustion treatment in Pubmed. Results : Moxibuston improves blood flow in adipose tissue and stimulates metabolism in the course of lipolysis. Many studies reported that moxibustion stimulated reptin, insulin, testosterone, 5-HT and thromboxane. Especially, moxibustion triggers the HPA axis system, which has an effect on lipometabolism. Based on such effects, moxibustion is considered to have an effect on adipose tissue decomposition. Conclusions : Although moxibution is considered to be effective in adipose tissue decomposition, futher study is needed.

A real-time face detection is to find human faces robustly under the cluttered background free from the effect of occlusion by other objects or various lightening conditions. We propose a face detection system for real-time applications using wavelet decomposition method based on Gabor features. Firstly, skin candidate regions are extracted from the given image by skin color filtering and projection method. Then Gabor-feature based template matching is performed to choose face cadidate from the skin candidate regions. The chosen face candidate region is transformed into 2-level wavelet decomposition images, from which feature vectors are extracted for classification. Based on the extracted feature vectors, the face candidate region is finally classified into either face or nonface class by the Levenberg-Marguardt back-propagation neural network.

In order to get oxidizing power enough for growth of a superconductive thin film with oxide gas, concentrated ozone was used. As a method for concentrating ozone, a method for concentrating ozone by adsorbing ozone selectively into silica-gel beads is adopted, and this concentration is analyzed by the ultraviolet absorption method, the thermal decomposition method and the Q-mass analyzing method. Thermal decomposition method is most effective for measurement of a high concentration of ozone. Ozone as concentrated by the adsorption method got to have a concentration of 97 mol % at the maximum, and it was identified that the concentration of the ozone gas was stable for the time while a thin film was formed.

Ozone is usually generated from oxygen gas using a silent discharge apparatus and its concentration is less then 10 mol%. An ozone condensation system is constructed for metal oxide thin film fabrication. Ozone is condensed by the adsorption method, which is widely used for the growth of oxidation thin films such as superconductor. Highly condensed ozone is analyzed by three methods; ultraviolet absorption, thermal decomposition and Q-mass analyzing methods. Thermal decomposition method is most effective in the highly condensed ozone region and its method is superior to Q-mass analyzer for determining ozone concentration because of the simplicity of the method.

In practical designs, most of the multidisciplinary problems have a large-size and complicate design system. Since multidisciplinary problems have hundreds of analyses and thousands of variables, the grouping of analyses and the order of the analyses in the group affect the speed of the total design cycle. Therefore, it is very important to reorder and regroup the original design processes in order to minimize the total computational cost by decomposing large multidisciplinary problems into several multidisciplinary analysis subsystems (MDASS) and by processing them in parallel. In this study, a new decomposition method is proposed for parallel processing of multidisciplinary design optimization, such as collaborative optimization (CO) and individual discipline feasible (IDF) method. Numerical results for two example problems are presented to show the feasibility of the proposed method.

The operating characteristics of hydrogen iodide (HI) decomposition for hydrogen production were investigated using the commercial computational fluid dynamics code, and various factors, such as hydrogen production, heat of reaction, and temperature distribution, were studied to compare device performance with that expected for device development. Hydrogen production increased with an increase of the surface-to-volume (STV) ratio. With an increase of hydrogen production, the reaction heat increased. The internal pressure and velocity of the HI decomposer were estimated through pressure drop and reducing velocity from the preheating zone. The mass of $H_2O$ was independent of the STV ratio, whereas that of HI decreased with increasing STV ratio.

The fuzzy control based on $\alpha$-level fuzzy set decomposition. It is known to produce quick response and calculating time of fuzzy inference. This paper derived the embodiment computational algorithm for defuzzification by min-max fuzzy inference and the center of gravity method based on $\alpha$-level fuzzy set decomposition. It is easy to realize the fuzzy controller hardware. based on the calculation formula. In addition. this study proposed a circuit that generates PWM actual signals ranging from fuzzy inference to defuzzification. The fuzzy controller was implemented with mixed analog-digital logic circuit using the computational fuzzy inference algorithm by min-min-max and defuzzification by the center of gravity method. This study confirmed that the fuzzy controller worked satisfactorily when it was applied to the position control of a dc servo system.

Ozone is ambient gas which is useful for the fabrication of metal oxide thin films under conditions of molecular beam epitaxy. Ozone is condensed by the adsorption method and its concentration is analyzed using the thermal decomposition method. The concentration of ozone exceeds 90 mol% and ozone is supplied for a sufficiently long time to grow oxide thin films. The ozone concentration is also evaluated using a quadrupole mass analyzer and the accuracy of this method is compared with the results of the thermal decomposition method.
