Thermal degradation behavior of chlorine cure-site ACM and carboxylic cure-site ACM rubbers was studied by non-isothermal TGA thermal analysis. Carboxylic cure-site ACM rubber exhibited comparatively more thermally stable than chlorine cure-site ACM, showing higher peak temperature, at which maximum reaction rate occurred. Activation energies from Kissinger method were calculated as 118.6 kJ/mol for the chlorine cure-site ACM and 105.5 kJ/mol for the carboxylic cure-site ACM, showing similar values from Flynn-Wall-Ozawa analysis over the conversion range of 0.1~0.2. From the analysis of the reaction order change, both samples seemed thermally decomposed through the multiple reaction mechanism as is the common rubber materials.

Material characteristics and the prediction of life time of polyacrylic rubber (ACM) for automotive engine gasket were studied. Two kinds of ACM rubber compounds, having chlorine cure-site and carboxyl cure-site, were made with optimum formulations and the properties of each materials were examined. As a test results for the thermal properties and compression set, which are very important in the application for the automotive engine gasket, the compound using ACM with carboxyl cure-site was evaluated as having a better characteristics than that of ACM with chlorine cure-site. Arrhenius relationship based on time-temperature superposition principle (TTSP) was obtained through the accelerated heat aging test to predict the useful life-time for the compound using ACM with carboxyl cure-site.

This paper is focused on design of a new active control engine mount (ACM), which is compact in size and cost effective. The ACM, consisting of an electrodynamic actuator as the active element, flat springs and a sliding ball joint, is different in structure from the previous ACM designs based on the conventional hydraulic engine mount. Dynamic characteristics of the proposed ACM are extensively investigated before a prototype ACM, which meets the design specifications, is built in the laboratory. For cost effectiveness, a feed-forward control algorithm without a feedback sensor is used for reduction of the transmitted force through the ACM from the engine. The prototype ACM is then harmonic-tested with a rubber testing machine for verification of its control performance as well as adequacy of modeling. Experimental results show that the proposed ACM is capable of reducing the transmitted force by 20 dB up to the frequency range of 60 Hz.

Currently satellite communication systems usually use the ACM(Adaptive Coding and Modulation) to extend the link availability and to increase the bandwidth efficiency. However, when ACM system is used for satellite communications, we should carefully consider TCP congestion control to avoid network congestions. Because MODCODs in ACM are changed to make a packet more robust according to satellite wireless link conditions, bandwidth of satellite forward link is also changed. Whereas TCP has a severe problem to control the congestion window for the changed bandwidth, then packet overflow can be experienced at MAC or PHY interface buffers. This is a reason that TCP in transport layer does not recognize a change of bandwidth capability form MAC or PHY layer. To overcome this problem, we propose the adaptive congestion control scheme of TCP for supporting ACM in Satellite PEP (Performance Enhancing Proxy) systems. Simulation results by using ns-2 show that our proposed scheme can be efficiently adapted to the changed bandwidth and TCP congestion window size, and can be useful to improve TCP performance.

Increasing demand for improved reliability and survivability of mission-critical systems is driving the development of health monitoring and Automated Contingency Management (ACM) systems. An ACM system is expected to adapt autonomously to fault conditions with the goal of still achieving mission objectives by allowing some degradation in system performance within permissible limits. ACM performance depends on supporting technologies like sensors and anomaly detection, diagnostic/prognostic and reasoning algorithms. This paper presents the development of a generic prototype test bench software framework for developing and validating ACM systems for advanced propulsion systems called the Propulsion ACM (PACM) Test Bench. The architecture has been implemented for a Monopropellant Propulsion System (MPS) to demonstrate the validity of the approach. A Simulink model of the MPS has been developed along with a fault injection module. It has been shown that the ACM system is capable of mitigating the failures by searching for an optimal strategy. Furthermore, the concepts of Validation and Verification (V&V) of such systems are introduced with relevant examples.

In this paper, the characteristics of the asymmetric coupled microstrip(ACM) lines with finite metalization thickness are investigated using the quasi-static analysis in the multilayered structure. By mode-matching method as the quasi-static analysis. the characteristic impedances and effective dielectric constants in ACM lines are obtained as a function of metalization thickness. The numerical results show that the propagation characteristics of ACM lines in the single and multilayered structure will be changed by the variation of metalization thickness.

In this paper, we present the forward link ACM method to improve the link availability and system throughput. Also, we compare the prediction algorithm between slope based prediction and LMS algorithm. The simulation results show that the 99% of predicted values in LMS algorithm is within 3dB and that of predicted values in the slope based prediction method is within 4.5dB.

Tachyplesin I is an antimicrobial peptide isolated from horseshoe crab. To investigate the mechanism of action of tachyplesin I for phospholipid bilayers, tachyplesin I and five analogs have been synthesized by the solution method. The synthesized five analogs are [$Phe^2$]-tachyplesin I, [$Phe^{8,13}$]-tachyplesin I, [$Cys(Acm)^{3,7,12,16}$]-tachyplesin I with no disulfide bonds, 7(Acm) and 10 (Acm) which denote the fragments [$Cys(Acm)^{3,7,12,16}$]-tachyplesin I. Circular dichroism spectra showed that tachyplesin I took an antiparallel $\beta$-structure in buffer solution and a less ordered structure in acidic liposomes. The carboxyfluorescein leakage experiment indicated that tachyplesin I interacted strongly with neutral and acidic phospholipid bilayers. In fluorescence experiment, the hydrophobic part of the peptide was shown to be embedded in lipid bilayers. All the peptides except for 7(Acm) and 10(Acm) were almost equally active in lipopolysaccharide binding. Therefore, the present study suggested that phospholipid bilayers induced a conformational change of tachyplesin I from the stable $\beta$-structure to a less ordered one.

Objectives : To provide information on the safety of ACM, we carried out a single oral dose-increasing toxicity and 4-weeks repeated oral dose determining test of ACM in beagle dogs. Methods : In a single oral dose-increasing toxicity test, beagles were treated with ACM orally increasing dose level (1,000, 2,000, 5,000 mg/㎏) at interval of 3 days. After administration, signs of toxicity were observed for two weeks. In 4-weeks repeated oral dose determinating test, beagles were treated with ACM with oral dose 500, 1,000, 2,000 mg/kg for 4 weeks. Mortality, clinical signs, body weight changes, food consumption, urinalysis, hematological and biochemical parameters, organ weights, necropsy findings, and histological findings were monitored during the study period. Results : In a single oral dose-increasing toxicity test, we found no mortality, abnormalities in clinical signs, body weight, and necropsy findings during the study period. In 4-weeks repeated oral dose determinating test, we found no mortality, abnormalities in clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, urinalysis, hematological and biological parameters, gross findings, organ weights, necropsy findings, and histopathological findings in any of the beagles tested. Conclusions : The results obtained in these studies suggest that maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ACM in male and female beagle dogs was supposed to be over 5,000 mg/kg. For the future studies of toxicity, it is advisable that high dose and low dose are set at 2000 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg, respectively.
