Marine accidents are mostly caused by medium and small ships, and are continuously increasing. In this paper, we propose an architecture of the speech synthesis based automatic safety navigation support service providing system for small ships that equiped onboard systems compared with vessels. The main purpose of the system is to prevent marine accidents by providing synthesized voice safety messages to nearby ships. The safety navigation support service is operated by connecting GPS and AIS to synthesize voice safety messages, automatically broadcast through VHF. Therefore, we developed a data processing module, a staged risk analysis module, a voice synthesis safety message generation module, and a VHF broadcasting equipment control module, which are components of the system. In addition, we conducted laboratory-level and sea-trial demonstration tests using the developed the system, which verified usefulness of the proposed service.

Bimodal tram is designed to run on a dedicated path in automatic mode using a magnetic track system in order to realize a combination of the accessibility of a bus and the constant regularity of a railroad. This paper presents design and test results of the series hybrid propulsion system of the bimodal tram on both test track and public road, which uses CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) engine and Lithium polymer battery pack. This paper describes the real-time data measuring equipment for the series hybrid propulsion system of the bimodal tram. Using this measurement equipment, the performance of the prototype vehicle's driving on test track and public road was verified and the fuel consumption and the efficiency of CNG engine have been investigated.

This paper presents a algorithm for automatic target recognition robust to the influence of the flame in order to track the target by EOTS(Electro-Optical Targeting System) equipped on UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) when there is aerial target or marine target with flame at the same time. The proposed method converts infrared images of targets and flames into a gradient vector field, and applies each gradient magnitude to a polynomial curve fitting technique to extract polynomial coefficients, and learns them in a shallow neural network model to automatically recognize targets and flames. The performance of the proposed technique was confirmed by utilizing the various infrared image database of the target and flame. Using this algorithm, it can be applied to areas where collision avoidance, forest fire detection, automatic detection and recognition of targets in the air and sea during automatic flight of unmanned aircraft.

FEU which is a important device in HCTRS of TICN amplifies transmission signals. Tests of intermodulation distortion and harmonic distortion for FEU have been performed manually, and take a lot of time. This paper improves the test methods using program that set up the measurement instruments and read the data automatically. This proposal allows intermodulation distortion and harmonic distortion test simultaneously. And the new test methods show that the measurement time is shorter than before. Also, it is expected that efficient quality assurance is possible because the test time can be independently managed, unlike the previous methods, where the test time was determined according to the skill level of the operator.

최근 수년간에 걸쳐 이루어진 센서기술의 발달과 컴퓨터를 이용한 데이타 처리능력의 혁신적인 발전은 대형의 복잡한 시스템을 실시간으로 운용하는데 있어서 막대한 양의 정보를 적절히 처리할 수 있는 기술을 요구한다. 예를 들어, 제철 또는 화학공장 공정제어에 있어서 여러 단계의 복잡한 공정의 상태에 관련된 정보는 다양한 센서들에 의하여 감지되어 제어컴퓨터에 전달된다. 또한 제어컴퓨터에서 생성되는 데이타는 자동화장비들의 각 구동장치로 분배된다. 이와 더불어 전체공정의 운용 및 관리와 제품의 품질 검사 및 시험에 관련된 데이타들도 적절히 전송되어야 한다. 또한 공장의 생산자동화 시스템에서도 수많은 로봇, PLC, CNC,AGV,켠베이어, 자동창고 등 자동화장비관련장비들의 시간적,공간적인 작업상태와 작업환경에 대한 무수한 정보들은 다양한 센서들에 의하여 감지되어 제어컴퓨터로 전달되어야 한다. 이러한 막대한 양의 데이타들을 적시에 수집하여 가공한 후 적시, 적소에 분배해 줄 수 있는 데이타 전송기술의 확보는 미래의 첨단생산시스템으로 인식되는 CIM(Computer Integrated Manufacturing)및 분산제어시스템(Distributed Control System)의 구축을 위한 선결과제라 할 수 있다. 이러한 문제들은 발전소, 최신예 항공기와 인공위성 등과 같이 고도의 제어기능과 매우 높은 신뢰도를 요구하는 시스템들에서도 마찬가지로 제기된다.

본 논문에서는 ATM 통신프로토콜을 위한 자동시험시스템인 ACTS(ATM Conformance Test System)의 개발과 적용을 소개한다. ACTS는 ITU-T 또는 ATM Forum의 ATM 사용자-망 접속표준을 준용하는 ATM 단말과 망장비의 프로토콜적합성을 확인하는데 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 ACTS 개발에 사용된 방법을 소개한 뒤, ACTS를 실제 ATM 단말과 장비에 적용한 사례들을 소개한다. ACTS의 적용을 통하여 시험대상 장비들이 지닌 프로토콜구현상의 문제점을 파악하였고, 문제에 대한 원인분석을 수행하였다. 또한 이러한 문제점들이 상호운용에 미치는 장애를 예측함으로써, ACTS를 상호운용하는 ATM 장비를 확보하기 위한 유용한 도구로 사용할 수 있음을 보인다.Abstract This paper presents development and application of ACTS(ATM Conformance Test System), an automated test system for ATM protocols. ACTS is a test system that checks conformance of ATM terminal and network equipment implementing either ITU-T or ATM Forum user-network interface. This paper, after presenting the methodology and process used for developing ACTS, conducts case studies of its applications to real ATM equipment. By applying ACTS, we were able to detect numerous problems in protocol implementations of ATM equipment and analyse causes of the problems, thereby demonstrating the efficacy of ACTS as an efficient automated testing tool. Furthermore, by predicting the potential effects of the problems on interoperability, we show how ACTS can be used as a useful tool for ensuring interoperable ATM equipment.

In this study, an actual test procedure was considered for the effective operation of a bulletproof test. The problems of the existing system were drawn in two ways. First, it is difficult to mount items of various shapes. Second, various test standards cannot be applied. To improve these problems, an automated and standardized mounting system was designed/applied to mount various items. The multi-purpose mount was compatible with the backing support for body armor testing. The sample holding frame was located inside and was designed to mount samples of various sizes and shapes through vertical movement and fixation without a separate detachment/attachment process. A comparison of the economics before and after the introduction of the item mounting system confirmed the effectiveness of the system by the increased number of daily tests and equipment utilization and reduced hourly cost.

Socket weldment used to change the flow direction of fluid nay have flaws such as lack of fusion and cracks. Liquid penetrant testing or Radiography testing have been applied as NDT methods for flaw detection of the socket weldment. But it is difficult to detect the flaw inside of the socket weldment with these methods. In order to inspect the flaws inside the socket weldment, a ultrasonic testing method is established and a ultrasonic transducer and automated ultrasonic testing system are developed for the inspection. The automated ultrasonic testing system is based on the portable personal computer and operated by the program based Windows 98 or 2000. The system has a pulser/receiver, 100MHz high speed A/D board, and basic functions of ultrasonic flaw detector using the program. For the automated testing, motion controller board of ISA interface type is developed to control the 4-axis scanner and a real time iC-scan image of the automated testing is displayed on the monitor. A flaws with the size of less than 1mm in depth are evaluated smaller than its actual site in the testing, but the flaws larger than 1mm appear larger than its actual size on the contrary. This tendency is shown to be increasing as the flaw size increases. h reliable and objective testing results are obtained with the developed system, so that it is expected that it can contribute to safety management and detection of repair position of pipe lines of nuclear power plants and chemical plants.

In spite of many advantages such as the simplicity in test procedure, Standard Penetration Test(SPT) results contain some errors caused by the variability of test equipment, instruments and test procedures. Especially, it is inevitable that the measured SPT hammer energy is different from the theoretical value because of energy loss. In this paper, the hammer energy level is measured during the performance of the field SPT in Korea by using a ultra-sonic system and PC.program. As the results of this study, the average hammer energy ratio of the R-P hammer and the Trip hammer is calculated at 64.2%, and at 75.0% respectively. The average energy ratio of the SPT for the R-P hammer is calculated at 46% and at 54% for the Trip hammer, by applying the rod energy ratio 0.72.
