For finding the effects of As on $TiSi_2$ formation, sputter deposited Ti film on Si substrates implanted with various doses of As have been rapid thermal annealed in Ar atmosphere at temperatures of 600-900$^{\circ}C$ for 20 sec. The sheet resistance of Ti-Silicides was examined with 4-point probe, the thickness with ${\alpha}$-step, and the As dopant behavior in Si substrates with ASR. The thickness of Ti-Silicides decreased with increasing As doping, but Ti-Silicides sheet resistance increased with increasing it. However, the critical concentration effect reported by Park et al. was not observed. We observed that the thickness of native oxide increase with increasing As doping. Thus, we concluded that native oxide act as a "barrier" for the Si diffusion.

A numerical method is presented for the scattering by the perfectly conducting cylinder with arbitrary cross sections. The relevant integral equation considered by the E-field formulation is solved by method of moments, and thereby the surface current induced as well as the radar cross section of the scatterer are numerically computed to specify the scattering nature of the scatterer. Two separate methods, one with point matching and the other Galerkin's method, are considered to make cross checks to the results obtained. Taking two half pulses suggested to expand the surface current shows savings in computation time and accurate solutions for the corners on the scatterer.

Typical magnetic bubble propagation failure modes of ion implanted magnetic bubble computer memory devices were observed and their failure mechanisms were analize. The skidding failure mode is due to the pushing of a strong repulsive charged wall. If this pushing is stronger than the edge affinity of the bubble in the cusp, the bubble moves out of the cusp when it is supposed to stay there. The stripeout failure modes across the adjacent track or along the track can be explained by considering the relative strength of the charged wall and the edge affinity encountered by both ends of the stripe. The skipping of the first cusp of a track is believed to be due to the whipping motion of the charged wall. The bubble moves directly to the second cusp via the long charged wall pointing to the second cusp skipping the first cusp.

This paper describes a fingerprint classification on the basis of feature points(whorl, core) and feature vector and uses a syntactic approach to identify the shape of flow line around the core. Fingerprint image is divided into 8 by 8 subregions and fingerprint region is separated from background. For each subregion of fingerprint region, the dominant ridge direction is obtained to use the slit window quantized in 8 direction and relaxation is performed to correct ridge direction code. Feature points(whorl, core, delta) are found from the ridge direction code. First classification procedure divides the types of fingerprint into 4 class based on whorl and cores. The shape of flow line around the core is obtained by tracing for the fingerprint which has one core or two core and is represented as string. If the string is acceptable by LR(1) parser, feature vector is obtained from feature points(whorl, core, delta) and the shape of flow line around the core. Feature vector is used hierarchically and linearly to classify fingerprint again. The experiment resulted in 97.3 percentages of sucessful classification for 71 fingerprint impressions.

To avoid the complexity and ambiguity which is arised in the case of syntactic or decision-theoretic method is used individually, an attributed grammar is introduced which applies computative attributes to pattern primitives, and then uses decision-theoretic method for attributes and syntactic method for pattern structure. A primitive extraction embedding parsing and grobal rule for classification is also applied for more effective pattern recognition and description.

From the viewpoint of general recognition system, B-spline is introduced for the approximation and recognition of human profile contours. Profile contour is approximated to the cublic B-spline curve by least square fitting so that B-Spline nodes nearly correspond with the curvature extrema of the contour. This method is designed for the spline to be good features in recognition, and also showed good approximation compared with the variants of B-spline appraximation.

In the recognition of similar patterns like profile contours of human faces, feature measure plays important role. We extracted effective and general feature by B-spline approximation. The nodes and vertices of the approximated curve are normalized and used as features. Since the features have both local property of curvature extrema and global property by B-spline approximation, they are superior to those of curvature extrema of the profile contour. For the image data of six sets of 56 persons, some of which are ill-made, averaged accuracy rate of 97.6 % is obtained in recognizing combinational 333 test samples.

Thermal Electet of the Zinc Oxide varistor has been studied in the temperature range of -130${\sim}200[^{\circ}C]$ and the electric field of 6[kV/m].

This paper is concerned with linear system containing time delay in model reference adaptive control. An algorithm is developed using Lyapunov second method and properties of strictly positive real function.

Up to now, using adaptive control method, Identification deals with system whose entire state variables and prameters are accessible for measurement. In practical situations, all the state variables cannot be measured and it is impossible to directly apply since the parameters of the system are unknown. Therefore, in this paper, using only input-output data, such a model of the system is not available since the parameters of the system are unknown. this leads to the concept of an adptive observer in which both the parameters and the state variable of the system are identified simultaniously. Lyapunov's direct method and Kalman-Yakubovich (K-Y) lemma are employed to ensure the stability of this schemes. The feature is that the signal and adaptive gain which is generated from filter is imposed upon feedback vector and then state variables and the unknown parameters can be identified. To show the usefulness of the proposed schemes, computer simulation result of unknown second-order system shows the effectiveness of the proposed schems.

For a generalized minimum variance controller algorithm the weighting polynomials are are calculated in a way to assign the closed loop poles of the system and to specify the controller gain at a frequency.

In recent, Kalman filter technique has been much used as one of technique for tracking of the moving target. But some problem are still remained to be resolved. For example, when Kalman filter technique is applied to nonlinear system, the technique is nonoptimal estimator. Therefore, extended Kalman filter is proposed to reduce modeling error for nonlinear system. In this study, an extended Kalman filter in Cartesian coordinates is described for moving target, when the radar sensor measures range, azimuth and elevation angle in polar coordinates. And an approximate gain computation algorithm is proposed. In this approach, Kalman gains are computed for three uncoupled filter and multiplied by a Jacobian transformation determined from the measured target position and orientation.

Indirect adaptive pole assignment PID controllers for unknown systems with time varying delay, is proposed. Unknown system parameters are estimated by recursive least square method, and time varying delay is estimated using indirect predictors. Since the order of parameter vectors didn't increase, the computational burden is not largely increased in spite of using indirect adaptive control method with time varying delay estimation. Computer simulation is performed to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Also the state model based optimal FIR filter is compared to the standard Kalman filter by an example.

An attractive approach to speed of induction motors is to achieve full linearization via appropriate feedback. However, the prior results toward this direction are based on full feedback. In practice, rotor fluxes are not directly measurable but can be estimated using observers. We propose a nonlinear feedback controller with an observer. As t${\rightarrow}{\infty}$, the closed-loop system with our controller becomes as if it were a linearly decoupled system. We provide the stability analysis of our control method. Simulation and experimental results are also included to demonstrate the practical significance of our results.

The knowledge base for servo controller was designed to obtain the process output with respect to the desired set-point in short period. The regulatory controller was to provide smooth output near the set-point. The AI controllers was implemented in Turbo-PROLOG on IBM-PC. For the parallel processing, Turbo-C was linked to calculate the process output. The result shows that this AI controller can be well suited not only for minimum phase but also for non-minimum phase. This controller may be used as a back-up controller for rather extensive expert system.

The problem of minimization of energy, consumed by the robot manipulator, is important, notably for larger manipulators, higher working speeds, and loads. Obviously, the stated problem requires the application of optimal control theory, which is being successfully applied for linear system and certain classes of nonlinear systems. However, the application of optimal control theory(in energy or time optimization) leads to substantial practical difficulties, so that significant simplifications are usually performed, either in model complexity or by neglecting the existing constraints. In this paper the problem of obtaining such an optimization method. which would take into account the complete system dynamics and all the constraints is considered. The only method found to be suitable for such a complex optimization should be based on dynamic programming.

To assure a successful completion of an assigned task without interruption, the hand of mechnical manipulator often travels along a preplanned path.

To overcome the false solutions AMP is modified. To reduce the computing time, a "direct approximate programming algorithm (DAPA)" is developed.

In this paper, collision avoidance of two robots working in a common workspace is described. The workspace for a two robot system is defined and classified. JCM (Joint Constraint Map) is designed which shows the region of joint values that must be avoided for collision free motion, and application of the JCM is studied.

The equations of motion for linearly elastic bodies undergoing large displacement motion are derived. This produces a set of equations which are efficient to numerically integrate. The equations for the elastic bodies are formulated and simplified to provide as much efficiency as possible in their numerical solution. A futher efficiency is obtained through the use of floating reference frame. The equation are presented in two forms for numerical integration. 1) Explicit numerical integration 2) Implicit numerical integration. In this paper, there was used the numerical integration. The implicit numerical integration is extended to solved second order equation, futher reducing the numerical effort required. The formulation given is seen to be occulate and is expected to be efficient for many types of problems.

A jig-saw puzzle matching technique is proposed. Specifically, the geometric patterns of the puzzle pieces are firstly extracted using a boundary tracking algorithm at low resolution. And then, features of the extracted pieces to describe jig-saw puzzle pieces such as angles and distances between corner points, and convexity or concavity of a corner point are obtained from some corner points implying discontinuity of curvature of puzzle pieces' boundary. Finally, a boundary matching algorithm without a priori information of matched puzzle is proposed.

This paper describes an automatic visual inspection system for fabric defects based on pattern recognition techniques. The inspection for fabric defects can be separated into three sequences of operations which are the detection of fabric defects[1], the classification of figures of fabric defects, and the classification of fabric defects. Comparing projections of defect-detected images with the predefined complex, the classification accuracy of figures of fabric defects was found to be 95.3 percent. Employing the Bayes classifier using cluster shade in SGLDM and variance in decorrelation method as features, the classification accuracy of regional figure defects was found to be 82.4 percent. Finally, some experimental results for line and dispersed figures of fabric defects are included.

The developed system is tested and modified using hypothetical loom failure causes, and the feasibility of the expert system application to extend the functions of the loom monitoring system is proved.

This paper deals with automatic system of acoustic noise detection for realization of factory automation. The existing inspection process of failure products has mostly been executed in hand by rich-experienced workers. It is difficult to accomplish effectively or systematically the failure test of products owing to the diversality of ill-conditions. But the problem about it must be solved in viewpoint of cost down and factory automation in addition to the reliability of products. The necessity of automatic inspection system to inspect automatically undesirable acoustic noise of products which is one of the kinds of failure is suggested, and the procedure to develope it and the function of each system components are explained briefly.

In this study, we designed a model of NC controller with IBM-PC as a host CPU and intelligent servo controller for 2 axes that can be expaned to 4 axes. OS software was developed with C language at the base of mode selection technic for 9 NC operating modes. Servo controller design was based on the application of interpolator IC(3701) and position controller IC(3702) that permits low cost and high performance. For connection of two systems, parallel I/O communication was implemented. Finally, auto interpolation program test was executed for linear and circular paths resulting 1 LSB accuracy.

This paper summarizes economic considerations for building automation. While the market for energy management systems(EMS) has been exploding, there are many indications that the pendulum of hight expectations may have swung too far. This is a very important reason for energy management system in both existing and new buildings. Because facilities continue to expand in size and their operations grow more complex, the use of automated systems to control and monitor both programmable and nonprogrammed function becomes an economic necessity. The following is offered as engineerings of economic consideration for building automation systems. Not only get a complete return on investment but increase profits in a few years through savings incurred in labor, utilities fuel and extended equipment life.

In this paper, a control system of the PUMA 560 robot manipulator using a PC (Personal Computer) is presented. The hardware of the designed control system is composed of IBM-PC/AT, interface board, selection board, interrupt generating circuit, and the servo control unit of the PUMA controller. A robot control library is developed using assembly and C language, and is composed of several low-level functions and arm interface routines, world model routines, arm kinematics routines, and motion command service routines. Using the designed library, joint interpolated motion and Cartesian interpolated motion of the PUMA robot manipulator are realized. In the future, our system is expected to be a very helpful basis and a useful tool for developing various control algorithms of robot manipulator using sensory information.

The new controller which conststs of IBM-PC/AT, SBC, servo module and motor driver has been developed for KIMMBOT II robot. The servo module which controls two axes at the same time also has beendeveloped. This module inputs relative number of pulse and feedrate via multbus, after then outputs analog command voltage with reference to feedback pulses from the encoder of a motor. This system has a great flexibility. The reduction of parts gives more reliability.

RMFC (Resolved Motion Force Control) is the method to control the Cartesian force and position using FCC (Force Convergent Control) instead of the complicated dynamic equations of the manipulator. The gain parameters of the controller are adjusted through many trial and errors. In this paper PD-optimal control method is introduced to give optimal gain parameters which minimize the difference between actural acceleration and desired acceleration. To show the validitiesn of the proposed method computer simulations are performed for the two-link manipulator.

The basic concept of this control scheme is that of an ideal massless manipulator carrying a load. The purpose of this paper is to converge the observed forces and moments at the mass center to the desired applied forces and moments. And the corresponding control algorithm is proposed.

A robust control method for robots in presented. In this method, a phase-lag controller is used for reducing the effect of the unknown payload without the measurement of joint accelerations and torque/force. Simulation results for the lower 3 joints of PUMA 560 show considerable reduction of position errors due to the unknown payload, compared to the computed-torque method.
