As the increase of the operation year of nuclear power plants, the probabilities of the degradation of the major facilities and materials in the nuclear power plants are increased. The integrity of those facilities shall be monitored and verified by the non-destructive examination methods with the regulation codes, so called inservice inspection(ISI). The ISI of Yonggwang unit 6 was performed in four different parts, 1) non-destructive examinations for the components, piping weldments and structures, 2) automated ultrasonic examinations for pressure vessels, 3) visual examinations for the interior structures of the reactor, 4) eddy current examinations for the steam generator tubes. As the results, there was no severe indication and all detected indications were evaluated as non-relavent. Especially for the examinations of the piping weldments, PD(Performance Demonstration) was applied as a W examination method defined in the 1995 edition of ASME Code Sec. XI. The implementation of the PD for the piping weld results in an improvement of the reliability of the UT examinations.

CVR is a technique for reducing power consumption by reducing the voltage of the system and many demonstrations and studies have been conducted in the past. Recently, SCADA-based or AMI-based VVC have been developed and the CVR is used as an important operation mode. Using a variety of instruments, CVR determines the optimal VVC control references by closed loop control. In this paper, we implemented RTDS-MATLAB integrated simulation environment for development and verification of CVR control algorithm based on voltage measurement. The voltage control device of distribution system was modeled using RTDS and MATLAB has constructed a controller that can measure and control the voltage of the simulation system of RTDS. After the capacitor, which is a reactive power control device, flattens the voltage of the system, the control algorithm reduces the voltage of the system by tap control of the OLTC based on the flatten voltage. The proposed system was verified by simulations.

Acceptance criteria for chemical admixtures of cement concrete were investigated in domestic and international specifications. The reliability was verified for solid content test method of chemical admixture examined statistical analysis by round robin test. The applicability of FT-IR spectroscopy for qualitative measurement of multi-compound chemical admixtures verified. From solid content experimental results, outlier analysed using Cochran, Grubbs and Dickson's Q test. Repeatability and reproducibility standard deviation for solid content results showed 0.25 and 0.098% respectively according to KS A ISO 5725-2 procedure, it can be confirmed reliability of test methods. FT-IR spectrum of liquefied or oven-dried chemical admixtures condition showed big differences. It is needed that the FT-IR analysis is performed on dry material. However there's no difference with the applicability of FT-IR spectroscopy for multi-compound chemical admixtures. So the utility of method analysis could not identify.

지능형 주거공간에서 손 지시 명령을 통하여 가전기기를 선택하거나 로봇에게 이동하여야 하는 장소를 알려 주기 위해, 기존의 시스템은 선택되는 대상 기기의 3 차원 절대 위치를 미리 알고 있어야 한다. 또한 카메라 위치가 변동되었을 경우, 카메라의 위치를 절대좌표계 기준으로 새롭게 측정해야 하는 불편함이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 팬/틸트 모듈을 가진 두 대의 USB 카메라를 임의의 위치에 배치하더라도, 두 번의 손 지시만으로 선택 대상이 되는 기기의 3 차원 위치를 파악하고 이를 동작시키는 방법을 다룬다. 제안하는 방법에서는 두 대의 카메라 간의 상대 좌표계를 형성하기 위해 각 카메라에 표식을 부착한다. 각 카메라에서 다른 카메라의 표식을 관찰하면 카메라 간의 거리 및 각도를 구할 수 있기 때문에, 하나의 카메라를 기준으로 3 차원 절대 좌표계를 자동으로 설정할 수 있다. 또한, 두 대의 카메라로 사용자의 얼굴과 손을 검출하면 얻어진 기준 좌표계에 대해 얼굴과 손의 3 차원 위치를 계산하고, 두 지점을 연결하는 방향 벡터를 구함으로써 사용자가 손으로 지시하는 방향을 찾는다. 따라서, 카메라를 임의의 위치에 두더라도 사용자의 손 지시 동작만으로 대상체의 차원 위치를 파악할 수 있게 된다. 개발된 시스템의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 각 가전기기의 위치를 제안한 방법으로 구하고 실제 위치와의 오차를 분석하였다. 제안한 방법은 두 대의 USB 카메라와 일반 PC 또는 마이크로 프로세서만으로 구현할 수 있기 때문에 비용이 적게 들고 실시간 처리가 가능하며 사용자의 환경에서 편리성을 높이는 등 많은 장점을 가진다.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive research model that can explain potential customers' intentions to adopt and use VPA(Virtual Personal Assistants) devices. This study proposes and validates a new theoretical model that extends the perceived value theory. Partial least squares analysis is employed to test the research model and corresponding hypotheses on data collected from 313 survey samples. Perceived value, perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment are important factors affecting the adoption of VPA devices. To increase potential users' intention to use, VPA device manufacturers should not only focus on developing utilitarian functions but also fun features based on open development echo-system. This study is the important empirical attempt to examine user acceptance of VPA devices, as most of the prior literature has concerned analysis of usage patterns or technical features.

RC(Remote Control) is a technology that can efficiently control and transfer a variety of user commands to CEs. However, the existing RCs have been required various additional features such as communication between CEs, extension of communication range, low power-consumption and bi-directional communication according to the advent of new types of CE devices and its enhanced performance. Even though RC controller has many customers' requests, it is not a simple solution because most legacies work on IR-based RC. In this paper, we propose RF4CE-based Universal Remote Control Framework using Smartphone in order to solve the many constraints of IR legacies. The proposed R-URC system is designed by RF4CE platform which is a kind of de-facto standard for CE remote control communication. From the verification scenarios using various CEs and smart phone, we can see that the proposed R-URC shows the good practical usage in terms of contents sharing and smart CE control.

Based on the Internet of Things technology, one of the core technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, our Ministry of Defense is also pushing to establish M-IoT in defense area to improve management efficiency, innovate military culture and strengthen military power. However, devices connected to the Military Internet of Things can be easily exposed to various of cyber threats as most of them are developed and with a focus on improving sensing and communication skills that collect and transmit data. And it is not easy to uniquely identify the numerous heterogeneous devices, and to establish a secure communication channel between devices or between devices and management servers. In this paper, based on PUF technology, we propose a novel key management scheme that can uniquely identify the various devices, and generate the secret keys needed for the establishment of a secure communication channel using non-replicable information generated by the PUF. We also analyze the efficiency of our proposed scheme through comparison with existing key management scheme and verify the logic and security using BAN Logic.
