The flow rate measurements in a multi-phase flow pipeline were evaluated quantitatively by means of a clamp-on sealed radioisotope based on a cross correlation signal processing technique. The flow rates were calculated by a determination of the transit time between two sealed gamma sources by using a cross correlation function following FFT filtering, then corrected with vapor fraction in the pipeline which was measured by the ${\gamma}$-ray attenuation method. The pipeline model was manufactured by acrylic resin(ID. 8 cm, L=3.5 m, t=10 mm), and the multi-phase flow patterns were realized by an injection of compressed $N_2$ gas. Two sealed gamma sources of $^{137}Cs$ (E=0.662 MeV, ${\Gamma}$ $factor=0.326\;R{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}m^2{\cdot}Ci^{-1}$) of 20 mCi and 17 mCi, and radiation detectors of $2"{\times}2"$ NaI(Tl) scintillation counter (Eberline, SP-3) were used for this study. Under the given conditions(the distance between two sources: 4D(D; inner diameter), N/S ratio: $0.12{\sim}0.15$, sampling time ${\Delta}t$: 4msec), the measured flow rates showed the maximum. relative error of 1.7 % when compared to the real ones through the vapor content corrections($6.1\;%{\sim}9.2\;%$). From a subsequent experiment, it was proven that the closer the distance between the two sealed sources is, the more precise the measured flow rates are. Provided additional studies related to the selection of radioisotopes their activity, and an optimization of the experimental geometry are carried out, it is anticipated that a radioisotope application for flow rate measurements can be used as an important tool for monitoring multi-phase facilities belonging to petrochemical and refinery industries and contributes economically in the light of maintenance and control of them.

산업현장에서의 인터넷환경 및 원격 제어를 위한 시스템 개발에서 신뢰성이 있고 경제적이며 지능적인 Power Supply가 요구되고 있다. 최근 통신시스템의 Power Supply는 수 kA이상의 출력전류를 가지고 있으며 최소 10개 이상의 모듈로 이루어져 있다. High-End 서버 시스템과 같이 수백 개의 마이크로프로세서를 내장한 시스템은 수십 kW의 전력을 소모한다. 이들이 사용하는 Power Supply는 별도의 시스템 제어기와의 통신으로 시스템에서 발생하는 발열, 소모전력, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)에 대한 정보를 바탕으로 시스템이 갖는 각각의 Module에 대해 효과적이고 신뢰성 있는 전력공급을 하여야 만다. Distributed Power System (DPS)에서 가장 중요만 역할을 담당하는 Power Factor Correction (PFC) AC-DC Converter의 디지털 제어는 시스템 제어기와의 통신능력을 충분히 고려하면서 DPS를 위한 적합한 솔루션을 제공할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 Digital Signal Processor (DSP)를 사용하여 PFC 제어에 필요한 전파정류전압, 입력전류, 출력전압을 계측하여 역률개선과 THD의 저감을 위한 전류의 추종을 제어하면서 이들 제어기에서의 파라미터를 PC를 통해 모니터하여 최근의 추세를 만족시킬 수 있는 시스템을 구현할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The textile industry in Korea, the dyeing sector is an energy-intensive sector and has low per-unit productivity due to its labor-intensive nature. If the defective rate of dyed fabrics is high, additional costs are incurred due to an increase in production cost due to re-dyeing. Therefore, the goal of the dyeing factory was to minimize the defect rate rather than to save energy. It was difficult to check the dyeing state of the fabric in real time due to the risk of accidents due to burns or pressure when dyeing in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. In this paper, a complex sensor that can measure the exhaustion rate of dye solution in the dyeing machine using turbidity, pH, and conductivity sensors was proposed, and the experimental method and experimental results were analyzed.

In this study, the motion control techniques allied to the test ship NARAE are summarized and the results of sea trials are resented. NARAE adopted a hybrid hull form with lower hull and submerged foils. This type of ship has a substantial instability in heave, pitch and roll modes at the foil-borne stage due to little restoring force, so an active control is indispensable to keep the stability. 4-hydraulic actuators with servo valves were installed to drive foils, and several sensors were used to measure the motion of the ship. PID controller was adopted as a motion controller, and for the real-time control, Pentium-class industrial PC was used. Sea trials including take-off, landing, and banked turn maneuvering were carried out for a period of over 3 months and quite satisfactory results were obtained.

Behaviors of instrumented steel sheet piles which are installed in sand ground by vibratory hammer were investigated. Especially, stresses acting on the pile during vibratory driving, efficiency factor which reflects differences between theoretical driving force and actually delivered acting force, justifiability of rigidity of steel sheet pile, dynamic resistance characteristics of soil and penetration characteristics of sheet pile were analysed. According to the field test results it is justifiable that steel sheet pile behaves as a rigid body during vibratory driving. And it can be seen that maximum stress acting on sheet pile section is far less than tensile strength of the material. Value of the maximum section force at sheet pile head was 72% of that estimated from theoretical equation. Magnitudes of displacement amplitudes computed from displacement-time history curve corresponding to four penetration depths were in the range of 16 $\sim$ 75% of that specified by manufacturer.

The purpose of this paper is both to analyze research trends and to predict industrial flows using the meta-data from the previous studies on data quality. There have been many attempts to analyze the research trends in various fields till lately. However, analysis of previous studies on data quality has produced poor results because of its vast scope and data. Therefore, in this paper, we used a text mining, social network analysis for time series network analysis to analyze the vast scope and data of data quality collected from a Web of Science index database of papers published in the international data quality-field journals for 10 years. The analysis results are as follows: Decreases in Mathematical & Computational Biology, Chemistry, Health Care Sciences & Services, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and Medical Information Science. Increases, on the contrary, in Environmental Sciences, Water Resources, Geology, and Instruments & Instrumentation. In addition, the social network analysis results show that the subjects which have the high centrality are analysis, algorithm, and network, and also, image, model, sensor, and optimization are increasing subjects in the data quality field. Furthermore, the industrial connection analysis result on data quality shows that there is high correlation between technique, industry, health, infrastructure, and customer service. And it predicted that the Environmental Sciences, Biotechnology, and Health Industry will be continuously developed. This paper will be useful for people, not only who are in the data quality industry field, but also the researchers who analyze research patterns and find out the industry connection on data quality.

최근 우리 나라도 자동차의 수요가 급격히 늘어나고 있고, 생산량도 급증하 고 있어 자동차 공업이 산업의 최고의 위치를 확보하게 되었다. 자동차는 최 신 종합 기계 구조물로서 전기, 전자, 제어에 이르기까지 거의 모든 분양의 학문적 이론과 기술을 도입하는 최첨단의 기계 장비인것이다. 따라서 그 부 가가치 또한 매우 큰 것이다. 자동차의 성능을 결정짓는 가장 커다란 요소는 주행 성능과 안정성 및 조종성이다. 주행성능이라 함은 자동차의 종방향 운 동에 관한 성능으로서 기관의 동력에 지배적인 영향을 받는 성능(동력 성능) 과 그 밖의 성능(타향 성능, 제동 성능)으로 구분된다. 또 안정성과 조종성이 라함은 자동차의 횡방향 운동에 관한 성능으로서 로울링과 요우잉을 포함시 킨 곡선 운동에 관한 성능을 일컫는다. 이러한 운동 성능을 좌우하는 것은 구조적인 설계의 양부와 스프링이나 댐퍼의 성능일 것이다. 자동차의 수많은 부품 중의 다수가 국산화 되어 있지 아니하고, 또한 이러한 부품들의 성능을 시험할 수 있는 장비의 수입 의존도가 높은 것은 업계나 학계 등에서 앞으 로 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 점이다. 자동차의 충격 흡수기(shock absorber)의 검사기도 또한 수입 시험기에 의존하고 있었던 것이 현실이었 다. 이에 본 연구진은 이 검사기의 국산화에 착수 한 것이다. 자동차에 있어 서 충격 흡수기는 지면에서 오는 충격을 급속히 흡수하는 역할을 하여 자동 차의 주행 성능과 안정성을 높혀 주며, 승차감을 높혀 주는 중요한 부품이 다. 따라서 충격 흡수기의 양부의 판정은 대단히 중요한 것이다. 본 연구에 서는 충격 흡수기의 충격 흡수력(감쇠력)을 측정하여 감쇠 특성을 정도 높게 파악할 수 있는 시험기를 만드는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 연구는 시험기의 구동부를 제작하는 기계부와, 제어 및 계측의 하드웨어를 담당하는 전기.전 자부및 실제로 기계를 구동, 제어하고 측정 결과를 기록하고 출력하는 부분 을 담당하는 소프트웨어 개발부로 나누어서 진행하였다.

The settlement prediction is very important in preloading method for a construction site on the soft ground. At the design stage, however, it is hard to predict the settlement exactly due to limitations of the site survey. Most of the settlement prediction is performed by a regression settlement curve based on the field data during construction. In Korea, hyperbolic method has been most commonly used to align the settlement curve with the field data, because of its simplicity and many application cases. The results from hyperbolic method, however, may differ by data selections or data fitting methods. In this study, the analyses using hyperbolic method were performed about the field data of $\bigcirc\bigcirc$ site in Pusan. Two data fitting methods, using an axis transformation or an alternative method which is a direct regression method, were applied with various data groups. If data was used only after the ground water level being stabilized, fitting results using both methods were in good agreement with the measured data. Regardless of the information about the ground water level, the alternative method gives better results with the field data than the method using an axis transformation.

In this paper, unmanned underwater glider was designed for high-depth operation and adopted a bladder-type buoyancy controller for improving battery efficiency, and the motion controller controls the pitch angle by moving the internal mass battery. To improve the energy efficiency of the unmanned underwater glider, a layered PID controller that performs control by section was designed. Simulation program including 6-DOF motion equations and hydrodynamics coefficients of an unmanned underwater glider is constructed using Matlab/Simulink program. Control methods such as PID controller, sliding mode controller and layered PID controller were applied to the simulator to compare the dynamics performance and energy efficiency. As a result, the layered PID controller showed improved control performance compared to other controllers and improved energy efficiency of approximately 7.2% compared to PID controller.
