| Abstract | In this investigation the estimation method of the number of iterations for definite convergence condition by use of the Gauss-Seidel method applied for a set of linear equations which is obtained from the finite element analysis (or the finite difference analysis) of any rectangular area subdivided into N*M is proposed. Though the number of iterations can be obtained by using the eigenvalue of the governing equations, the proposed method does not require the eigenvalue but only the values of Nand M. Numerical experiments on this estimation method clarify that the estimated values are within the error bound of 10%. |

| Abstract | Some extension is made of the previous papers of the same title in order to investigate (1) what aspect consumers' surplus has according to the characteristics of inverse demand curve and (2) where the maximum consumers' surplus is reached in an equilibrium of toll revenues and cost. As for (1) three kinds of inverse demand curves are assumed in general form. The marginal consumers' surplus to expansion of expressway network is proved to be of definite sign (positive or negative) or equal to zero according to each curve assumed. For each of curves, the region where consumers' surplus finds its maximum is also shown on the expressway users ~ network expansion plane. |

| Abstract | In this paper the liquefaction of sand bed under oscillating water pressure are treated as a basic study of the prevention works against the scouring around the hydraulic structures. The results of the former resurch show that the occurrence of the liquefaction depends on both properties of the oscillating water pressure and of the sand layer. Considering the latter properties, that is, the resistivity against the liquefaction increases with the increase of the permeability of the sand bed, we propose the displcement method as one of the prevention works, which is a method to displace the upper layer of the sand bed by the sand with large permeability. The effects of this method are investigated theoretically and experimentally. By the experimental study, it is shown that the proposed displacement method has the apparent effect to prevent the liquefaction. The experimental results are explained fairly well by the theoretical analysis based on the theory of the flow through the elastic porous media. |

| Abstract | A series of small-angle X-ray scattering photographs with monochromated and point focussed copper Ka(1) radiation was taken of a single crystal of an Al-4mass % Cu alloy at the as-quenched state from 823K and at successive stages of ageing at 313K. The crystal was so oriented that the incident direction of the radiation was along [001] axis, and was cooled with liquid nitrogen during the exposure. The pattern of the as-quenched state was homogeneous, but each of the patterns of the aged states consisted of streaks along [100] and [010] directions and a quasi-ring around the trace of the incident beam on the film (even at the shortest ageing time. l6sec). The most intense regions were found in [100], [010] , [100] and [010] directions on the ring. With the progress of the ageing the streaks and the ring became more intense and narrower. The results can be interpreted from points of view of the formation of the GP zones parallel to {100} planes ab initio, the effect of the inter-particle interference on scattering of X-rays, and the growth of the GP zones with the ageing. Guinier radius of the GP zones at each stage can be obtained from intensity change along [110], and the values are reasonably consistent with those obtained from the cross section of the streak. The presence of multi-layer zones, besides the one-layer ones, is suggested from the humps found on several intensity curves along [100] at later stages. |

| Abstract | The algorithm of automatic stereo plotting by iterative image correlation from aerial photographs and the corresponding empirical tests are described. The algorithm is oriented to off-line process, using a image scanner and a general purpose computer, and consists of 3 hierarchical correlation steps, based on one-dimensional matching using usual correlation maximum. For the correlation calculation, the FFT is effectively used. Though some defects exist in the algorithm at present, close contour plotting to middle scale maps is available except in hilly regions, in which marked features in ground covers do not exist. |

| Abstract | Bubble columns are extensively used in the chemical industry. This paper evaluates the present state of the art on the size of bubbles from a sieve plate and gas holdup, mainly on the basis of the results of the authors, including previous ones. The size of bubbles formed from a sieve plate has an insignificant effect of chamber volume, and gas holdup shows some different behavior, depending on the hole diameter to liquid depth. |

| Abstract | Some modifications of an asynchronous ring arbiter are proposed. This arbiter is composed of a chain of cells. Each cell has one to one correspondence to a device. In the chain, there exists only one privilege to arbitrate conflicts of requests from many devices. A class of modifications is high speed arbiters, obtained by increasing the number of connecting wires between two adjacent cells. As the results, the time required for the privilege to pass through a cell decreases by about one-half compared with the original arbiter. Another class of modifications is arbiters with priority rules. They are obtained by adding a few hardware to the original arbiter. The priority order of request acknowledgements in all the cells is specified. Using above modifications, conflicts of requests in many digital systems may be feasibly arbitrated. |

| Abstract | A simple system was developed for the fully automatic and continuous measurement of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in wastewater samples based on colorimetry of dichromate. A sample and a solution of sulfuric acid (1+1) containing 2mM potassium dichromate are continuously pumped with a double-reciprocating micro-pump at each flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. The wastewater sample is filtered at first with a 100-mesh stainless filter and then mixed with the dichromate solution in the mixing joint. The mixture is introduced into a reaction coil made of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) tubing (1 mm i.d., 3 mm o.d., and 20 m length), being placed in an oil bath (120℃). After reaction, the mixture passes into a quartz tubular flow-through cell (10 mm path length, 18 μl volume) in a spectrophotometer, and the absorbance is measured at 445 nm. The COD value of the sample is automatically estimated from the amount of decreased absorbance. The system was successfully applied to COD measurement of some waters, and to continuous monitoring of COD in wastewater of university laboratories. The system was also evaluated by comparing with the flow injection analyzer system previously developed by the authors. |

| Abstract | In this paper, the analysis of transient performance of two-phase induction motor driven by a voltage source inverter with current limiter is described. The motor is represented by using a two-axis model, that is, the Kron primitive machine. The state equations of mechanical-electrical system are derived. The calculation method with a discrete point of time is employed in order to decrease the CPU time of computer. The calculated results gained from this method agree well with the measured. Then, with the aid of this analytical method, the discussions on transient performance of this system are also performed. |

| Abstract | Photographic method for measurement of small-angl X-ray scattering (SAXS) is improved. Intense pointfocussing incident beam is obtained by using doubly bent crystal monochromator made of aluminium single crystal. Microphotometry and the subsequent calculation to obtain profiles, Guinier and Porod radii, integrated intensities, and so on are facilitated by using microcomputer. Integrated SAXS intensities measured from an Al-Zn alloy which has been treated under the same heat treatment conditions are coincident with one another with probable errors less than ±6 % . Ratio of the integrated intensities obtained from two Al-Zn alloys of different composition is reasonable compared with the quasi-equilibrium phase diagram. |

| Abstract | The phase control characteristics in a thyristor phase control circuit with parallel resonance elements indicate very interesting phenomenon. Several extreme values appear on the phase control curve. The phenomenon is different from the step-up one in a thyristor phase control circuit with series RLC elements which is interpreted as series resonance. To comprehend the circuit performance with those loads, it is necessary that the phenomenon on extreme value is physically clarified from other viewpoints. In this paper the performance in this circuit is studied from two viewpoints of a natural oscillation and a parallel resonance. Then, it is found that the performance depends on a natural frequency in thyristor conducting period and a parallel resonance frequency in thyristor non-conducting period. Therefore, the interesting phenomenon on extreme value is affected by the alternative of natural frequency or parallel resonance frequency. |

| Abstract | The sucking grasp, for example, the silicon or the rubber sucker has been used widely to handle the parts in various stages of the automated process. But in order to use the sucking grasp more widely, it is necessary to develop the other type of sucking unit. In this paper, we examined the distribution of the vacuum pressure in the contact surface and estimated the adsorptive force from the vacuum pressure, the area of the contact surface, the area or the number of sucking holes, and a gap or a roughness of surface under the contact condition that the flat surface of the sucking unit sucked up the flat surface of an object. The vacuum pressure in the contact surface decreased exponentially, as the distance from the edge of the sucking hole became long. And the adsorptive force was estimated from the equation Y=1.147.P.S.(S/M)(-0.6) in the case of one sucking hole. It is necessary to consider the interaction between two sucking holes which were only separated by a very close distance to estimate the adsorptive force in case of many sucking holes. The adsorptive force became weak, as the gap |

| Abstract | A deconvolution method for the X-ray diffraction line profile is proposed, which is based on the conventional least-squares method. The true profile is assumed to be a functional form. The numerical values of parameters of the function assumed are determined so that the calculated profile, which is a convolution of the function and the instrumental profile, has a minimum deviation from the observed one. The method is illustrated by analysis of the X-ray powder diffraction profile of sodium chloride 222 reflexion under the assumption that the true profile is a Gaussian or a Cauchy function. |

| Abstract | Renumbering algorithms commonly in use for the band solver are generally applicable for any kind of linear equations, and, therefore, we may say that they cann't effectively utilize the characteristics of the finite element mesh. In this paper we investigate the characteristics of the finite element mesh systems, and introduce them into Taniguchi-Shiraishi Algorithm which already introduced some properties of FEM mesh systems. And through several numerical experiments it is proved that this improved algorithm is one of the fastest one. |
