Through this investigation only graphs are treated instead of the coefficient matrices for linear systems, and the elimination process for a matrix is equivalated to the vertx eliminations for the graph. Then, the results by the theoretical investigation are summarized as following: 1. Optimal elimination for each subgraph which is subdivided appropriately from whole graph leads to the global optimum. 2. In each subgraph there are only two kind of eliminations. Furthermore, some numerical experiments show the characteristics of the subset of vertices, which subdivide a subgraph from the residual. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TaniguchiTakeo kn-aut-sei=Taniguchi kn-aut-mei=Takeo aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Civil Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=181 end-page=193 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A Notion of Adjoint Spectrum in the Application to Air-pollution Monitoring en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This report deals with a notion of adjoint spectrum which is applicable to air-pollution monitoring by using pulsed lasers. Both Raman and absorption spectra of multiple gas complex are linear combinations of the spectra, each of which is specific to a gas species and its magnitude is proportional to the density. An extended formulation of the method of least squares is made in terms of a new notion, adjoint spectra, which visualizes the structure of the numerical filter. Applications of the derived numerical filters to the two methods are shown and features are described about the synthesized filters. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SanoHiroya en-aut-sei=Sano en-aut-mei=Hiroya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KogaRyuji en-aut-sei=Koga en-aut-mei=Ryuji kn-aut-name=ŒΓ‰κ—²Ž‘ kn-aut-sei=ŒΓ‰κ kn-aut-mei=—²Ž‘ aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanadaYoshihiro en-aut-sei=Tanada en-aut-mei=Yoshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KosakaMegumi en-aut-sei=Kosaka en-aut-mei=Megumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of electronics affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of electronics affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of electronics affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of electronics END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=195 end-page=207 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A Performance Analysis For An Air-Pollution Monitoring Using A Pulsed Dye Laser en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The maximally attainable accuracy of an airpollution monitoring system is investigated. The system is composed of a tunable pulsed dye laser as the light source, photodiodes as the opto-electric converter and a low noise electronic signal processor specifically designed by the authors. The extreme value of the accuracy is given in terms of the standard deviation of the attenuation. The value is 3.4~10(-4)[Nepγ(pulse number)] for an averaged value for multiple laser shots. Also the wavelength reproduceability of a dye laser was examined, which resulted in that a computer should take a part in the wavelength control in order that this method should be feasible. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SanoHiroya en-aut-sei=Sano en-aut-mei=Hiroya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KogaRyuji en-aut-sei=Koga en-aut-mei=Ryuji kn-aut-name=ŒΓ‰κ—²Ž‘ kn-aut-sei=ŒΓ‰κ kn-aut-mei=—²Ž‘ aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TanadaYoshihiro kn-aut-sei=Tanada kn-aut-mei=Yoshihiro aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KosakaMegumi en-aut-sei=Kosaka en-aut-mei=Megumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of electronics affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of electronics affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of electronics affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of electronics END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=163 end-page=180 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A Walsh Waoofonn Analyzer and Its Applications to Filtering of Pulse Signals en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A new waveform analyzer based on the Walsh transform@is developed and is applied to a real-time filtering of fast pulse signals, and the linear filterings@of time signals through the Walsh transform is@discussed. The analyzer converts a solitary waveform during 16 ƒΚs into the 16 Walsh amplitude spectra in a hybrid manner: it has the sequency band from 62.5 kzps to 500 kzps. The spectra are parallelly held during 16 ƒΚs by analog integrators, while serially displayed by the CRT, and one of them is digitally read out. The spectra of the test waves are measured within the error rate of several per cent. The analyzer is applied to the correlative detection of the photoelectric pulse signals in a gasspectroscopic system using a pulse laser, and there composes the matched filter, which is useful for measuring the signals superposed by Gaussian noises with a high accuracy. For the real-time filtering of fast signals, the arithmetic convolution and the frequency power spectra are approximated using the complex Walsh transform. These approximations are of practical use in 16 or 32 dimensions. Then, the matched filters for pulse peaking are given by the approximate convolution and by the dyadic convolution. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TanadaYoshihiro kn-aut-sei=Tanada kn-aut-mei=Yoshihiro aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=SanoHiroya kn-aut-sei=Sano kn-aut-mei=Hiroya aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electronics affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electronics END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=53 end-page=64 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=AC Chopper Circuit with Lagging Reactive Load en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=An ac chopper circuit, which chops an ac voltage in a complete cycle for any lagging reactive load, is devised. The circuit is constructed of two ac-switches composed of power transistors and diodes. The load voltage is smoothly controlled by varying the time ratio of ac-switch. Transistors operate in a highfrequency chopping mode, thereby the ripples of the source current and the load current are easily filtered. Furthermore the input power factor of this model is better than that of the thyristor phase control circuit. In this paper, the construction and the driving method of this model are described. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=FunabikiShigeyuki kn-aut-sei=Funabiki kn-aut-mei=Shigeyuki aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=NakanishiSenichiro kn-aut-sei=Nakanishi kn-aut-mei=Senichiro aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=HimeiToyoji kn-aut-sei=Himei kn-aut-mei=Toyoji aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=133 end-page=152 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Aging and Reversion in Dilute Al-Ag Alloys en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Aging and reversion in dilute Al-Ag alloys are studied by means of the measurements of electrical resistivity. Results obtained are as follows: 1) Increase in the as-quenched resistivity is found for a low quenching temperature. This increase may be due to the fluctuation of solute concentration at the quenching temperature. 2) When the fluctuation exists in the alloy, the aging rate becomes slow and the maximum resistivity in the isothermal aging curve becomes small as the vacancyconcentration becomes low. The maximum resistivity becomes large again when the vacancy concentration becomes further lower, and finally the maximum does not appear. 3) These behaviors are explained in terms of the difference in the rate of growth of the G.P. zones in the regions of higher and lower solute concentration induced by the fluctuation and in terms of the change of this difference with vacancy concentration. 4) G.P. zones may be formed by the spinodal decomposition with indefinite surfaces at first, grown to larger ones with difinite surfaces and changed to ordered nzones in the alloy. 5) It is confirmed that G.P. zones are formed by the nucleation-and-growth mechanism also in Al-Ag alloys above the spinodal temperature. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OhtaMutsuo en-aut-sei=Ohta en-aut-mei=Mutsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanadaniTeruto en-aut-sei=Kanadani en-aut-mei=Teruto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamadaMasuo en-aut-sei=Yamada en-aut-mei=Masuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakakibaraAkira en-aut-sei=Sakakibara en-aut-mei=Akira kn-aut-name=εŒ΄Έ kn-aut-sei=εŒ΄ kn-aut-mei=Έ aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama University of Science affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=225 end-page=238 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=An Adaptive Observer via Optimal Control Law en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This paper deals with the adaptive observer which estimates the states and parameters of unknown system. It is shown that the adaptive observer problem is reduced to the identification of the transformation matrix for an arbitrary designable observer. Moreover, the adaptive process of the unknown parameters is reduced to the linear optimal regulator problem. As the result, a new method is presented to obtain an appropriate adaptive process with good insight. And, in this identification, a linear filter is found to be also useful against noises in input-output data. To achieve high accuracy, a particular nonlinear filtering can improve SN ratio only in the direction of the unknown vector. Even if SN ratio of input-output data has zero dB, sufficient accuracy can be accomplished within suitable correction time. This design algorithm seems to be rather straightforward and practical. Since input sequence is required to be only sufficiently general, the method is applicable to on-line identification also. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KanedaMasahiro kn-aut-sei=Kaneda kn-aut-mei=Masahiro aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=ShinjiHiroshi kn-aut-sei=Shinji kn-aut-mei=Hiroshi aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=AoyamaMikio kn-aut-sei=Aoyama kn-aut-mei=Mikio aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electronics affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Nissan Chemical Corp affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electronics END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=249 end-page=258 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Asymptotic Theory of Rayleigh Problem in Rarefied Gas en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The asymptotic theory of Rayleigh shear flow for large values of time is developed on the basis of the linearized Boltzmann-Krook equation. Asymptotic equations for mean velocity outside the Knudsen layer are obtained by employing the Hilbert expansion. Slip boundary conditions are derived from the analysis of the Knudsen layer adjacent to the wall. A solution of the asymptotic equation is obtained under the slip boundary condition and zero initial condition. Discussions are also made of the flow induced by a slowly oscillating flat plate. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=YamamotoKyoji kn-aut-sei=Yamamoto kn-aut-mei=Kyoji aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Engineering Mathematics END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=45 end-page=52 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Basic Characteristics of Squarewave Irwerter Circuit with Series R-L Load en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this paper, the steady state operations of the squarewave inverter circuit with a series R-L load are discussed. The circuit consists of transistors and feedback diodes. The basic equation is derived from its equivalent circuit. Solving the basic equation with steady state conditions, the instaneous value of the load current i is derived. The period t(2) for which the current flows from the supply to the load and the period t(l) for which the current feedbacks through diodes from the load to the supply are calculated from (i), and the ratio of t(l) to t(2) is illustrated using power factor of fundamental wave, pf, as a variable. The ratios of transistor mean current I(tr), diode mean current I(D), supply mean current I(s) to the load current I are illustrated using pf as a variable, too. In result, each current ratios to I is shown in simple expressione. The load current can be calculated simply using the coefficient reading off the figure. In addition, it becomes clear from the figure that the load current is scarcely influenced by the harmonic voltage in less than 0.8 of pf. The ratio t(2)/(t(1)+t(2)) calculated in squarewave voltage, shows the limit of pulse width control whose out put voltage is the squarewave. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=FujitsukaTakeshi kn-aut-sei=Fujitsuka kn-aut-mei=Takeshi aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=AgusaToru kn-aut-sei=Agusa kn-aut-mei=Toru aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Electrical Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=65 end-page=81 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Computer Program for Numerical Evaluation of the work en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We try to evaluate the manual work numerically from a point of view of the homogeneousness and the simultaneousness of both hands using the results of the micromotion study.

Therefore the computer program of these methods is mentioned in this paper. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=UshioJunichi kn-aut-sei=Ushio kn-aut-mei=Junichi aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=OsakiHirokazu kn-aut-sei=Osaki kn-aut-mei=Hirokazu aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KikuchiSusumu kn-aut-sei=Kikuchi kn-aut-mei=Susumu aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=83 end-page=93 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1979 dt-pub=19790305 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Computer Program of Line Balancing, Regarding Efficiency and Number of Stations as Variables en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=To assign work elements to the work stations in an assembly or manufacturing line, various computer programs have been developed and used. And it does that the number of stations or the cycle time is even given. But in practice it is desirable to obtain the assignment which shows the highest efficiency of line balancing under all possible combinations of the number of stations and the cycle time. Therefore we propose a computer program of the assignment method in which the efficiency of line balancing, Ebb and the number of stations, NN are regarded as variables. In this method the minimum value (EEb) of efficiency and the constant term (d) by which Ebb is reduced are given previously. And for any COmbination of Ebb (EE
