This paper is concerned with improvement of the KDI-based fault detection method so far developed by authors for nonlinear black-box systems. When modeling the system, Quasi-ARMAX model with multi-model structure is used. A fault due to unexpected change in system parameters will appear as the change of identified model. Kullback discrimination Information (KDI) can then be used as the fault detection index to evaluate the distortion in identified model. Several schemes to improve the fault detection performance are proposed, as well as the realization of a kind of fault isolation function based on a recognition approach in the model parameter space. The effectiveness of the method is verified through simulation studies on the ship propulsion system constructed for benchmark test.

This study is to explore a method of learning support in e-Learning environment including some learning supporters. Especially we develop a learning support method of distance teaching assistants on the Web for problem solving based group learning. We need to explore the learning models of next generation in knowledge society. Simultaneously, challenge to new pedagogy in learning and education with e-Learning environment is desired. From a viewpoint of learning support, learners can be concerned with learning supporters such as other teachers, domain experts and learners who have already studied the subject matter as well as a teacher at the face-to-face lesson in the learning environment. So, the learning support model needs to include some tools which have some functions of the learning supports. In this paper, we extract learning support patterns from an analysis of dialogue patterns between learners and distance teaching assistants. Moreover, we describe the outline of a bulletin board tool based on the learning support patterns.
An arbitrary pattern exposure system has been developed by employing a liquid crystal display (LCD) with 1600 × 1200 pixels for the formation of projection images in place of a conventional reticle. The minimum p...

One of the types of movements, e.g. protoplasmic movement, observed in cells are caused by the polymerization of the actin molecules. Recently, attempts to reveal the mechanism of force generation by using a Brownian ratchet model were reported. The load, e.g. the cell membrane, is pushed by the actin polymerization occurred at the head (barbed end) of the filament close to the load. Relative position between the head of the actin filament and the load are fluctuated as the Brownian motion. We focused on the association of the actin monomer at the head of the actin filament. To simplify the problem, association of the two actin monomers are modeled as the hard fused spheres and studied theoretically by using the extended scaled particle theory (XSPT) which we have developed. The mean force between two molecules is attractive as the result of the excluded volume *** results by using XSPT show the probability that the force of the actin filament against the load is determined not only by the fluctuation of position of the head of the actin filament but also by the fluctuation of position of the surrounding free actin monomers moving around the head of the filament. This suggests that thermal motion of the surrounding free actin monomers is also the origins of the force of the actin polymerization motor through the excluded volume effect.

Conformations of a single semiflexible polymer chain dissolved in a low molecular weight liquid crystalline solvent (nematogen) are examined by using a mean field theory. We takes into account a stiffness and partial orientational ordering of the polymer. As a result of an anisotropic coupling between the polymer and nematogen, we predict a discontinuous (or continuous) phase transition from a condensed‐rodlike conformation to a swollen‐one of the polymer chain, depending on the stiffness of the polymer. We also study a single polymer chain confined in a smectic phase.

The internal structural changes around the crack-tip and the pertinent crack growth behavior in an amorphous metal are studied by a large scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The Finnis-Sinclair potential for α-iron is used as an interatomic potential. The model amorphous metal was created by melting-rapid quenching simulation. The crack opens in similar fashion and it has smooth surfaces during the amorphous state. As it deformed, nano-scaled crystalline phase grows around the crack-tip. The distribution of deformation zones and deformation mechanism are significantly altered. The grains are not deformed while they are relatively small. The emission of dislocations from the crack-tip is observed, after the crystal phase covered the crack-tip surfaces. The grain size appeared small in the vicinity of the crack-tip, and becomes gradually large as it separates form the crack-tip.

A simple mobile system is described for humans and robots with a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag sensor. In this paper, the system assumes to be used in a hospital to identify the location of patients and recognize their state. At first we use one positive RFID sensor. The range of this directional antenna is long (about 5 meters, 2 meters) and an RIFD antenna is set on a rotating pan-tilt platform we made, making the best use of the directional sensor. It is difficult to recognize a person with an ID tag because the microwave output from the antenna attenuates by human's moisture. However, we confirm the effectiveness of this RFID system against the people who have a tag by experiments. Experimental results show that this system is available for identifying a person. At last we were able to make the extended system, using three RFID sensors without the rotating platform

In the grid applications, it is very likely that object oriented languages, like Java and Ruby, are employed as well as large-scale semi-structured data like XML. However, their inherent dynamic memory management has to suspend the execution of all the tasks running on processors when it is invoked. This adversely affects the grid computing severely unless the task scheduling system can avoid it with some special mechanism. We propose a new task scheduling method, referenced to as CP/MM, which can efficiently schedule tasks for applications requiring memory management. The underlying concept is to consider the cost due to memory management when the task scheduling system allocates ready coarse grain tasks, or macro-tasks, to processors. We have developed three task scheduling modules including an implementation of CP/MM into a task scheduling system is implemented on Java RMI (remote method invocation) communication infrastructure. Moreover, we evaluate the fundamental performance of CP/MM in two ways. The first is the performance evaluation of CP/MM which is applied to a small but practical test application program on a PC cluster. The second is the performance evaluation for test programs which have many tasks with complicated dependency relations on the test bed system consisting of computers on our two campuses located at a distance of approximately 32 km. These experimental results show that CP/MM can successfully prevent high priority macro-tasks from being affected by the garbage collection arising from the memory management, so that CP/MM can efficiently schedule distributed programs whose critical paths are relatively long.

The powered terminal in most wire communication systems needs to separate AC signals and DC supply power in its input part connected to the communication lines. Well-known separators usually utilize a combined circuit of inductors and capacitors. When the lowest frequency of the signal is low, the inductance becomes high and the size of the inductor increases. Our original communication system consists of low-power DC-DC converters. Because a converter in the powering terminal operates not only as power supply but also as transmitter, it is preferable that the electronic choke be bidirectional. A new balanced-type low-loss electronic choke having small inductors and an amplifier is proposed in this paper.
