We have developed a digital control rod control system not only to improve its performance but also to improve its reliability and speed of response so that it can replace the old fashioned analog system. However, a new developed digital control system should be tested to prove the validity by using any prototype or mock-up before application. The reliability prediction and the reliability block diagram analysis methods were adopted to verify the reliability of the developed hardware. For the case of software, especially fur a new developed control algorithm it has been tested to prove performances and validation by using a dynamic simulator and mock-up of control rod drive mechanism altogether. Here we want to present some key factors regarding to the new developed digital system with some verification procedures.

In this paper we introduce the method, procedure and result of RAM prediction for interlocking system which is applied for AREX signaling system. For RAM prediction, we breakdown the interlocking system to the LRU level and select the LRUs of which failure can cause the service delay. The prediction of reliability is based on the Reliability Block Diagram which is the functional diagram composed of selected LRUs and finally, the availability of interlocking system is estimated from the combination of reliability and maintainability.

Due to climate change and population growth, water scarcity is getting worse all over the world. Among various methods for desalination of seawater, the Multi-Effect Adsorptive Desalination method, which combines the existing Multi-Effect Desalination method and the Adsorptive Desalination method and can produce high-concentration-high-concentration freshwater, is emerging. Because the Multi-Effect Adsorptive Desalination method combines the two different methods, the system becomes complicated and the possibility of failure increases. Therefore, in this study, availability analysis was performed on the Multi-Effect Adsorptive Desalination process. A total of four types of reliability block diagrams were presented, and availability analysis was conducted based on them. The first form of a reliability block diagram is configured in series without any redundancy. The availability of the reliability block diagram composed of the serial system was found to be lower than the required availability. In order to increase availability, the redundancy to pumps and boiler are added to system. As a result of availability analysis, it was confirmed that designing desalination systems with redundancy to pump meets the 93% availability, which is typically required availability for various plants.

This study aims to introduce a method for risk assessment analysis aimed at preventing electrical fires within the manufacturing industry. Initially, we provided a functional block diagram illustrating the electrical equipment employed in various processes within a food manufacturing company in Chungcheongbuk-do. Subsequently, we categorized the components of each machine outlined in the functional block diagram and determined the priority of failure for each classified component. Upon implementing the model in the frying process of the food manufacturing company, specific components, including MC, motor, mixer heater, electric wiring, and terminal block, exhibit a risk priority number (RPN) of 40 or higher. This identified an electrical issue within the manufacturing process and environment. Consequently, we propose a methodology to identify latent failure modes that could escalate into fires or systemic issues if not promptly addressed. It is essential to note that while the FMEA presented in this study may not immediately impact food manufacturing, its applicability extends to various workplaces.

프로그램 내에서 오류의 정확한 위치를 찾아내는 것은 많은 시간과 노력을 필요로 하는 작업이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 프로그램의 제어 흐름을 이용한 자동화된 오류 위치 추정 기법이 오랫동안 연구되어 왔으나, 데이터 흐름 기반 언어로 작성된 프로그램에 대해서는 적용될 수 없다는 한계가 있다. 최근 개발된 뮤테이션(mutation) 기반 오류 위치 추정 기법의 경우 프로그램의 제어 흐름 대신 뮤턴트(mutant)라 불리는 인공 오류를 활용하기 때문에 데이터 흐름 기반 언어로 구현된 프로그램에 대해서도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되나, 오류 위치 추정 효과성에 대한 연구는 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구는 데이터 흐름 기반 언어인 Function Block Diagram (FBD)로 구현된 프로그램을 대상으로 뮤테이션 기반 오류 위치 추정 기법이 실제 오류의 위치를 얼마나 정확하게 추정할 수 있는지에 대한 사례 연구를 수행한다. 실제 원자로 보호 시스템 대상 초기 버전에 사용되었던 FBD 프로그램에서 발견된 오류들을 수집하고, 각 오류별 위치 추정의 효과성을 분석한다.

In this study, we propose reliability prediction of a satellite by function analysis. To do so, the intended functions of the satellite are derived from using function structure block diagram, and defined as main, sub, and detailed functions. Furthermore, in order to generate function and reliability structure table, reliability model rule, duty cycle, and types of switch are assigned to the classified functions. This study also establishes reliability block diagram and mathematical reliability models to schematize the relationship among the functions. The reliability of the classified function is estimated by calculating the failure rate of parts comprising them. Finally, we apply the proposed method to a small satellite as a case study. The result shows that the reliability for the detailed function and the sub function as well as the main function could be predicted quantitatively and accurately by the proposed approach.

프로그래머블 로직 컨트롤러(PLC: Programmable Logic Controller)가 안전성이 중요한 실시간 시스템 구현에 많이 사용되면서, PLC 프로그램에 대한 테스팅의 중요성이 날로 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 PLC 프로그래밍 언어 중 하나인 함수 블록 다이어그램(FBD: Function Block Diagram)에 대한 구조적 테스팅 방안을 제안한다. FBD를 테스트하기 위해 먼저 타이머 함수 블록을 비롯한 각 함수 및 함수 블록에 대한 흐름그래프 템플릿을 정의하고, 템플릿을 기반으로 한 변환 알고리즘을 제안하며, 알고리즘을 따라 FBD로부터 변환된 흐름그래프에 기존의 제어 흐름 테스팅 커버리지와 데이타 흐름 테스팅 커버리지를 적용한다. 기존 FBD 테스팅은 테스트 케이스 생성시 FBD 내부 구조를 고려하지 않으며, FBD 프로그램으로부터 특정 중간단계 모델을 생성해 낼 수 있는 경우에만 적용될 수 있는 단점을 가진 반면, 본 논문에 제안된 방법은 FBD 내부 구조를 고려한 체계적 테스트 케이스 생성이 가능하며, 중간단계 모델의 형식에 관계없이 어떤 FBD에도 적용될 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 특히 제안된 기법은 여러 실행주기에 걸쳐 테스트 되어야 하는 타이머 함수 블록을 포함한 FBD에 대한 철저한 테스팅을 가능하게 한다. 제안된 기법을 현재 원전계측제어시스템 개발사업단에서 개발 중인 디지털 원자로 보호계통 비교논리 프로세서 트립 논리에 적용하여 그 효과를 확인하였다.

The Meridian and Collateral Diagram is one of the most important 圖像s of Traditional Korean Medicine. A 圖像 is a picture made on a two-dimensional surface using lines and colors to portray an object or an image. Meridian and Collateral diagram is a 圖像 of the human body with indications of acupoints and meridian passageways and have different names such as 經穴圖, 輸穴圖, 鍼灸圖, 明堂圖, 銅人圖, in accordance with its classification. The documental basis of the Meridian and Collateral Diagram is the Internal Classic and the very first Meridian and Collateral Diagram confirmed through textual evidence can be found in 葛洪's "抱朴子 雜應". The Korean 동인도 in existence today, called '銅人明堂之圖', exists in two versions; a hand-copied version and a wooden engraving block version. It displays all the locations of the acupoints located on the anterior side of the human body, labels the names of the acupoints, and specifically distinguishes 起始穴 and 終止穴 of the eight meridian vessels.

In this feature article, we briefly review the new methods we have utilized recently in the investigation of morphology and phase behavior of block copolymers. We first describe the chromatographic fractionation method to purify block copolymers from their side products of mainly homopolymers or block copolymer precursors inadvertently terminated upon addition of the next monomer in the sequential anionic polymerization. The chromatographic method is extended to the fractionation of the individual block of diblock copolymers which can yield the diblock copolymer fractions of different composition and molecular weight, which also have narrower distributions in both molecular weight and composition. A more detailed phase diagram could be constructed from the set of block copolymer fractions without the need of acquiring many block copolymers each prepared by anionic polymerization. The fractions with narrow distribution in both molecular weight and composition exhibit better long-range ordering and sharper phase transition. Next, epitaxial relationships between two ordered structures in block copolymer thin film is discussed. We employed the direct visualization method, transmission electron microtomography(TEMT) to scrutinize the grain boundary structure.

Primitive chain network model for block copolymers is used here to simulate molecular dynamics in the entangled state with acceptable computational cost. It was found that i) the hooking procedure rearranging the topology of the entangled network is critical for the equilibrium structure of the system, and ii) simulations accounting for the different chemistry, i.e., with a biased hooking probability based on interaction parameter ${\chi}$ for selection of the hooked partner, generates a reasonable phase diagram.
