Vibration control technology in Japan has advanced and widely developed, engineers have showed its efficacy various evaluation indicators. However, the issue is that it's difficult for non-engineers, such as building owners, to understand efficacy. In this study, we clarify indicators recognized by non-engineers are investigated through literature questionnaire-based research, differences. It also proposes a seismic intensity conversion formula links maximum interlaminar deformation angle...

In this study, we propose a method for electric wheelchairs to climb steps using passive add-on mechanism. The mechanism utilizes the rider's postural shift motion and canes enable independent step climbing without need caregiver support. mechanism, auxiliary wheels are affixed behind rear of wheelchair via hinge joint. Step is accomplished by 1) elevating front canes, followed 2) raising onto spring force stored in movement. To optimize link lengths springs developed quasi-static...

In this study, focusing on realization of the healthy and sustainable lifestyle, a design living environment is developed. Using experimental systems, which consist with actual sized/scale down sized house, renewable ener-gy sources, sensors computers for analysis. To measure analyze information relating daily such as power consumption, generation, temperature, heliograph, weather, wind velocity, so on, system dis-covers relations between several information. paper, constitution, analyzes...

There has been renewed interest in exploiting renewable energy sources after 3.11 disaster Japan. However, their low density compared to conventional sources, and power generation characteristics are strongly dependent upon the natural environment. Moreover, design criteria for sustainable systems such as housing environment still under developing. Therefore, an emulator of powered system equipped with well loads being developed at College Engineering Nihon University. In this study, data...

In this study, focusing on realization of healthy and sustainable lifestyle, a design the living environment has been discussed. An experimental system consists with actual sized model powered by renewable energy, energy sources computers for analysis. Using system, relations between several information, such as power consumption, generation, storage amount, solar irradiance, weather, wind velocity, room temperature humidity, so on, is analyzed. paper, method estimating related position...

This paper reports the basic experimental result of counterflow diffusion flame in microwave. Since flames contain ions and charged particles represented by soot, interacts with The methane-air counter was formed waveguide microwave effect on observed. Frequency is 2.45GHz output generator ranges from 0 to 250 W. Application makes intensity increase color change. These results indicate that temperature application

Nowadays, anonymity in the Internet has attracted attention from viewpoint of privacy protection. The Onion Router (Tor) is one most popular software that can anonymize communication. Tor provide "Hidden Service" a web service and keeps for both users servers. This paper analyzes communication characteristics hidden services. Based on results analysis, this also proposes method collecting IP addresses Furthermore, experiment shows effectiveness proposed method.

Comparison measurement was performed on some triple point of water (TPW) cells, including national standard TPW cells. The purpose is to reassess the uncertainty source realized temperatures results showed largest difference among them represented as 0.036 /spl plusmn/ 0.035 mK with coverage factor k = 2.
