Vehicle-into-pedestrian traffic accidents show a very high mortality rate compared to their frequency of occurrence. Throughout the world, governments and insurance companies tend to establish and implement new safety standards for pedestrian protection. In order to improve the performance of pedestrian protection, the Korean government has evaluated the pedestrian safety of vehicles under the Korea New Car Assessment Program (K-NCAP) since 2007. The pedestrian protection performance has improved gradually, but it remains insufficient. A pedestrian protection system consisting of a hood lift system and a pedestrian airbag can be a solution to pedestrian safety. A pedestrian airbag design procedure based on a newly defined design scenario is introduced to reduce the head injury criterion of pedestrians. The proposed design scenario is discussed from a practical viewpoint and applied to manufacture pedestrian protection systems.

This study is to extract landmark buildings for pedestrian navigation from the existing spatial data sets automatically. At first, we defined candidates for landmark based on sight of pedestrian, then extracted final landmark by evaluating attributes of each candidate. The attribute is evaluated with relative or absolute criteria depending on the nature of each attribute. Landmarks extracted through the proposed method are compared to existing landmarks for vehicle and assessment of the validity and the applicability is performed. As a result, extracted Landmarks are expected to help guiding pedestrian effectively.

The paper is aiming at presenting the proper treatment method and procedures of ILW waste to both waste generators and acceptor so that the waste characteristics are satisfied with the WAC(Waste Acceptance Criteria) and as a result, the disposal facility would be operating safely. The ILW generators are responsible for reducing the volume of waste, treating and packaging the waste in order to meet the WAC, and acceptor has an obligation of inspecting the waste in conformity with the acceptance procedure established by regulation. Recently, a number of countries including France and USA examine the disposal acceptability of ILW waste by the WCP(Waste Package Quality Certification Program).

In a distributed computer system with star topology, the processing power of central node may be greater than that of peripheral nodes and the job arrival rate of each node may be different. The performance of load balancing may be very different according to the selection of sender criteria and receiver criteria for job transfer. But the optimal decision of sender and receiver criteria is very difficult in heterogeneous distributed computer systems. In this paper we propose effective destination decision policies using dynamic criteria such as mean job response time of a node and estimated response time of a job, instead of fixed threshold for dynamic load balancing.

The purpose of this study is to propose the standard of health-related fitness evaluation according to the working styles of male manufacturing workers. The subjects were 15,329 male manufacturing workers aged from 40 to 59 years old who had taken a health-related fitness test by K Institution. Health-related fitness components are cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition. We measured Vo2max, grip strength, sit-up, trunk flexion forward, and body fat percentage to ascertain each component. Data were analyzed with Two-way ANOVA, T-test, One-way ANOVA(Scheffe) and Percentile using SPSS version 18.0 program. The analysis results are as follows. First, the health-related fitness of manufacturing workers varied significantly according to their working styles(maximum oxygen uptake : F=88.67(p<.001), grip strength : F=20.09(p<.001), sit-up : F=42.06(p<.001), trunk flexion forward : F=69.44(p<.001), body fat percentage : F=136.75(p<.001)).Therefore, the evaluation standard was set based on the percentile of health fitness items. Second, the average Vo2max, grip strength, and trunk flexion forward of blue-collar workers were higher than those of white-collar workers at all ages. On the other hand, the average sit-up and body fat percentage of white-collar workers were higher than those of blue-collar workers at all ages. Third, these evaluation criteria differed greatly when compared with the results of the National Physical Fitness Survey. Therefore, we have confirmed that the evaluation criteria should be applied differently according to the working style of a worker when evaluating his health-related fitness.

With the development of the national industry, the importance of the elderly and children such as the elderly, disabled, and children is recognized. Similarly, the number of facilities for the elderly and children is increasing. Fires at facilities for the elderly and children cause heavy casualties. In response to these events, it is essential to activate fire alarms promptly and accurately and to secure evacuation routes. In this study, the laws and statistics related to facilities for elderly and children were reviewed, and problems with legal terms-such as elderly, children, others, unwanted alarm of fire alarm systems, blind spots of fire compartment standards, securing evacuation routes, and absence of standards for life safety rescue organizations-were identified. As an improvement measure, the legal definitions of similar terms-such as elderly, children, unwanted alarm checklist, and establishment of standards for fire prevention compartment-and introduction of other terms-evacuation elevators, the establishment of standards for life-safety rescue organizations, and provision of flame retardation objects for evacuees-were proposed.

Existing multinational subsidiary typologies seem to have limitations in two respects. First, the prevalence of subsidiary classification along two-dimensions fails to capture many distinct subsidiary types. Failure to reflect a sufficient richness in dimensionality can give rise to a partial picture of subsidiary typologies in the international business literature. A new typology developed from multi-dimensional approach will be required for reflecting various subsidiary roles in the multinational enterprise. Second, multinational subsidiary performing a number of activities is hard to be defined functionally across the value chain activities. In addition, multinational subsidiary roles can vary dramatically. In conclusion, despite a growing amount of work on subsidiary typologies, there seems to be limited convergence of results. the study regarding subsidiary roles still remain a challenge. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to develop a new typology based on multi-dimensional approach in order to overcome the limitations of traditional typologies. To classify subsidiary types, we propose 8 types of multinational subsidiary according to three dimensions that are adopted: (1) number of required value chain activities (2) subsidiary's sourcing capability and autonomy (3) global orientation (3) The case study analyzing Korean foreign subsidiaries appropriate for 8 types is performed to establish the validity of this study.

Complete dryness inside the stator is a necessary and sufficient condition for the leak test. Microcracks caused by high cycle fatigue due to operation are generated in stator windings, and they are interrupted by water molecules during the leak test. For this reason, during leak test, the wrong value is indicated when there are no leaks in stator windings. Generator manufacturers presents unique dryness judgment criteria for the leak test, but there is no actual criterion that accurately indicates the dryness point for the leak test. The reason is because stator winding has a complex structure and the absence of effective dryness equipment in power plants. This paper proposes a dryness judgment criterion to evaluate if inside the stator winding is dried completely and presents experimental results.

산업계에 널리 쓰이고 있는 회전자 자속기준 벡터제어(FOC)와 달리 직접토크제어(DTC)는 고정자 자속기준으로 토크와 자속을 직접 제어한다. 토크는 전류센서를 이용하여 검출한 고정자 전류와 고정자 자속을 곱하여 구한다. 고정자 자속은 매우 빠르게 스위칭되는 전압벡터지령을 이용하여 얻게 되므로, 고정자 자속각을 이용한 속도추정에 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문은 관측기를 이용한 직접토크제어의 속도 센서리스 구현기법을 제안하고, 기존의 속도추정 기법과 제안하는 기법을 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교한다.

설계자는 설계를 진행시켜 가면서 많은 의사 결정을 내려야 한다. 그 결정은 크게 선택 결정과 타협 결정으로 나뉘어질 수 있다. 선택 결정은 여러 평가 기준을 고려해 여러 대안들 중 하나를 선택하는 결정이며 타협 결정은 제한 조건과 목표들을 가장 잘 만족하는 설계 대안의 주요 치수를 결정하는 것이다. 이때 두 결정의 결과는 설계자의 의사에 크게 의존하게 된다. 따라서 설계자의 의사를 체계적이고 정확하게 반영시켜줄 필요가 있다. AHP 기법은 불분명한 선택 문제에 있어서 문제를 계층적으로 분석하여 평가함으로써 설계자의 의사를 체계적으로 반영시켜줄 수 있다. 또한 정성적인 성질들을 정량적인 판단 기준에 따라 평가함으로써 설계자의 의사를 보다 일관적으로 반영할 수 있다. 보통 공학 문제의 경우 하나의 설계 대안을 선택하고 또한 그 대안의 주요 치수를 동시에 결정해야 하는 결합된 문제이다. 이때 선택에 필요한 각 대안의 속성이 타협 문제 변수들의 함수로 표현되기 때문에 최적 과정 중에 계속 변화하게 된다. 또한 여러 속성을 고려할 경우 자릿수와 단위가 모두 다르기 때문에 속성들의 평가가 표준적으로 이루어져야 한다. 이 부분에 학습된 인공 신경망을 도입함으로써 변화하는 속성치를 자동적으로 평가할 수 있으며 설계자의 의사와 경험적인 지식도 반영할 수 있게 되었다.
