Toward Improved Ductility and Toughness of Heavy-Walled Ferritic Ductile Irons

Abstract- Spheroidal-graphite(s-g) iron castings recently have exceeded 160 metric tons in shipping weight, since there has been an increasing application of s-g iron to heavy castings. Increasing the size of s-g iron castings results in difficulty in obtaining high ductility and toughness. This paper describes the fundumental study concerning with elongation and fracture toughness and the material data obtained from mock-up casks with 500mm in wall thichness made of s-g iron.

FDTD Analysis for Printed Dipole Antenna

Abstruct- This report describes the input impedance characteristics of a printed dipole antenna. Using the finite-differance time-domain(FDTD) method the transient input current of a printed dipole antenna is obtained. Base on the obtained current the input impedance in the frequency domain is evaluated. The validity of the input impedance is checked by the measured input return loss of a printed dipole antenna.

2. Digital optimal preview control
Both the digital optimal control and the digital optimal preview control methods give better robustness for system parameter variation as well as disturbance. Digital optimal preview control results in considerable reduce of performance index value, and improvement of the tracking performance and the characteristics due to feedforward compensate by previewable desired signal and disturbance.

Campus LAN System with ATM Backbone Networks

Abstract- On March 1996, the campus LAN system was set up in the Kushiro National College of Technology. This system consists of an ATM network and twisted-pair Ethernet segments. In our campus LAN, the ATM network, which is one of switch-based fast networks with fiber optics, is adopted for backborn network and directly interconnected with each Ethernet segment. In this paper, we will show some examples of using network applications. And we will point out current problems of our network, and give the solution to them.

Measurement of Curvature Radii of Rotating Cylindrical Objects by Using Dynamical Speckles

Abstract- Statistical properties and its application of integrated dynamic speckles produced in the diffraction field from rotating cylindrical objects are investigated. The behavior of space time cross correlation functions of integrated dynamic speckles due to a variation in the curvature radius of cylindrical objects is studied in relation to the boiling and translational motions of speckles produced actually in the diffraction field. By using the space time cross correlation function of integrated dynamic speckles, an effect of the curvature radius of cylindrical objects on statistical properties of integrated dynamic speckles is studied experimentally to verify the theory.
Key Words : Dynamic specckles, Curvature radius, Boiling, Translation, Space time cross correlation function



The Study of RLS Analysis Using the Self-Organized Neuralnetwork

Abstract- This report proposes a new node architecture which can use self-organized neuralnetwork. Since this node have AR parameter of input voice signal, the non-similarity value of it is the estimation error which is caliculated using AR parameter and input signals. The algorism of renewal for AR parameter is RLS. This node can make smaller network than node which calculated similarity value using standard euclid distance. In this paper , we show the power spectrum which obtain from this node and FFT.
Key Words : self-organization, recursive least-squares, autoregresive model



Automatic Indexing with Technical Terms for HTML Documents

An O(log n)-time Parallel Algorithm for Constructing a Spanning Forest on Trapezoid Graphs

Abstract- Let G=(V,E) be a simple graph with n vertices, m edges and p connected components. The problem of constructing a spanning forest is to find a spanning tree for each connected component of G. For a simple graph, Chin et al. demonstrated that a spanning forest can be found in O(log2 n) time using O(n2/log2 n) processors. In this paper, we propose an O(log n) time parallel algorithm with O(n/log n) processors on the EREW PRAM for constructing a spanning forest on trapezoid graphs.
Key words : parallel algorithms; trapezoid graphs; spanning forest



A Supporting System for Learning the Programming Language Scheme on WWW (2)

Abstract- We made use of a Supporting System for Learning the Programming Language Scheme on WWW (SPLASH96) for students on 2nd grade of information engineering course at Programming Language. As a result, we found that students made unexpected illegal answers (S-expressions) which the previous error-check method could not process. So,it is necessary that we consider an appropriate process to illegal S-expressions. In this article, we describe the SPLASH97 which have a new error-check method to S-expressions.
Keywords : CAI system for programming language Scheme, error-check method



Investigation on the Street Lighting of KITA-ODORI Area in Kushiro City

Abstract- This report shows results of an investigation which aims to find the cause of an economical decline at KITA-ODORI area in Kushiro city from the point of view of the street lighting. We conducted a survey of what image visitors and its residents had about the street lighting.
The conclusion is : one of the causes for the decline is due to the lighting system not working well in the area. And it brings a lack of attractiveness in the business area. We should carefully consider the town's culture and the harmony with present buildings when we plan the lighting system in the area.
Key words : economical decline,street lighting,lighting system,image scale



Power Generation by Temperature Difference Utilizing Rausu Hot Spring

Abstract- Power generation by temperature difference is one of the clean energy development. Then we produced a generation system by tempereture difference which is given by hot water and cool water. Thermoelectric conversion modules of bismuth telluride were used for the system. Rausu hot spring was one of the most suitable heat source of natural environment for the system. Because it grew very hot water for itself, and a cool river flowed beside it. Then about 30W electric power was obtained continuously utilizing Rausu hot spring.
Key words : Thermoelectric conversion, Power generation by tempereture difference, Bismuth telluride

Some Observations on Multicultural Education in Oceania ; A Creative Study Overseas

Abstract- This paper sets out to consider the creativity of the author's study overseas organized and practiced by himself in 1988, and also to announce that the study overseas developed into the establishment of the exchange program between Western Melbourne Institute of TAFE and Kushiro National College of Technology.
The author organized the study overseas by changing letters with Departments of Education, which are in NSW and Victoria in Australia, and in Christchurch and Auckland in New Zealand, visiting sixteen schools and educational institutions in total. The purpose of the study overseas was to compare the English teaching to non-English speakers as a part of multicultural education for immigrants in Oceania with that to English speakers as a mother tongue.
