Recently, there is an increasing need for highly precise processing with the rapid development of precision machinery, electrical and electronics, and semiconductor industries. Cutting machine control relies on the operator's sense and experience in tradition, but it has been greatly enhanced by the adoption of CNC(Computerized Numeric Controller). In addition, cutting dynamics technology has been paid attention to reflect the operating state of machine in real time. This paper presents a method to detect and stabilize tool vibration by attaching an acoustic sensor to a CNC machine. The sensed acoustic data is synchronized with the tool position and the abnormal vibration frequency is separated from the collected acoustic frequency, then analyzed to detect the tool vibration. Also the reliability the tool vibration detection and stabilization is improved by applying the cutting dynamic method. The proposed method is analyzed and evaluated in terms of the surface roughness.

In the past, several experimental investigations aiming at characterizing the natural circulation (NC) behavior in test facilities were carried out. They showed a variety of flow patterns characterized by an inverted U-shape of the NC flow curve versus primary mass inventory. On the other hand, attempts to reproduce such curves using thermal-hydraulic system codes, showed 10-30% differences between the measured and calculated NC mass flow rate. Actually, the used computer codes are generally based upon nodalization using single U-tube representation. Such model may not allow getting accurate simulation of most of the NC phenomena occurring during such tests (like flow redistribution and flow reversal in some SG U-tubes). Simulations based on multi-U-tubes model, showed better agreement with the overall behavior, but remain unable to predict NC phenomena taking place in the steam generator (SG) during the experiment. In the current study, the CATHARE code is considered in order to assess a NC characterization test performed in the four loops PKL facility. For this purpose, four different SG nodalizations including, single and multi-U-tubes, 1D and 3D SG inlet/outlet zones are considered. In general, it is shown that the 1D and 3D models exhibit similar prediction results up to a certain point of the rising part of the inverted U-shape of the NC flow curve. After that, the results bifurcate with, on the one hand, a tendency of the 1D models to over-predict the measured NC mass flow rate and on the other hand, a tendency of the 3D models to under-predict the NC flow rate.

Smart grid is a representative convergence new technology in the era of the 4th industry revolution that deals with three broad security areas consisting of control system, the power grid, and the consumer. As it is a convergence new technology of the 4th industrial society, it is true that it can have a positive effect on the country's technological development, growth engine, and economic feasibility in the future. However, since the smart grid is expected to cause enormous damage in the event of a security accident, energy-related organizations must prepare various security measures to predict and respond to the latest security incidents. In this paper, the current status of domestic and foreign smart grids, trends in security standards, vulnerabilities and threats, and prospects for smart grid security technologies are to be considered.

With the technology of the 4th industrial revolution, network traffic is increasing due to an increase in supply, an increase in demand, and an increase in the complexity of traffic patterns. SDN, a concept in which H/W and S/W are separated in order to efficiently manage such massive traffic, is attracting attention as a next-generation network. A lot of research is being conducted on the merits of applying flexible policies by avoiding the problem of rigid vendor dependency by using the SDN controller implemented with S/W Opensource. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an efficient load balancing technique by grouping through the packet structure of the network layer using the control layer and infrastructure layer of SDN and analyzing the packet delay and reception rate.

Eye tracking is one of the NUI technologies, and it finds out where the user is gazing. This technology allows users to input text or control GUI, and further analyzes the user's gaze so that it can be applied to commercial advertisements. In the eye tracking system, the allowable range varies depending on the quality of the image and the degree of freedom of movement of the user. Therefore, there is a need for a method of estimating the accuracy of eye tracking in advance. The accuracy of eye tracking is greatly affected by how the eye tracking algorithm is implemented in addition to hardware variables. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose a method to estimate how many degrees of gaze changes when the pupil center moves by one pixel by estimating the maximum possible movement distance of the pupil center in the image.

As online learning continues to be extended, many engineering colleges are engaged in online learning activities. One of the core competencies required of engineering students in a knowledge-convergence society is communication skills. Online discussion activities are frequently used in educational field to improve communication skills. Efforts are being made to provide visual dashboards in online discussion activity systems to more effectively support online discussion activities. However there is less qualitative studies on students' experience in discussion activities. The purpose of this study is to explore the experience of engineering students participating in discussion activities using online discussion systems and visual dashboards. We interviewed 15 students who participated in online discussion activities to achieve their research objectives about their experience in utilizing the online discussion system, their perception of visual dashboards, and their experience in discussion activities. As a result of the study, students' perception of the use of the online discussion activity system, the visual dashboard, and the perception of a sense of social presence were understood. To be more effective in providing tool support, such as discussion activity systems and visual dashboards in online discussion activities, instructors need to understand the nature of learners' online discussion activities.

ISO/IEC 15118 is an international communication standard for EV(electric vehicle)'s V2G implementation. In the charging/discharging control of an EV based on a communication protocol, there is inevitably a time delay when charging/discharging occurs, and the delay may limit in supplying power flexibility. In this paper, we implemented an ISO/IEC 15118-based V2G emulator and measured the charge/discharge response characteristics. As a result, the time delay appeared as 0.12ms. Accordingly, the power flexibility markets that EV can participate in under the current standard were explored.

We investigate the joint selection problem of the transmit power level and the best access point for multi-access points. We further reduce the transmit power by jointly optimizing the transmit power and the access point selection. Our aim is to minimize the total transmit power, while each terminal maintains minimum signal to interference ratio requirement. We observe that the optimum solution can be achieved through proposed iterative algorithm for both TA link and AT link. Simulation results show that proposed algorithm (joint optimization of transmit power level and access point) outperforms the algorithm which optimizes the transmit power only. We also observe that the duality between the TA link and AT link does not hold in multi-access points environment. Accordingly, the resulting power vectors and the access point vectors for TA link and AT link are different in general.

In this study, improved path tracking control algorithm based on pure pursuit algorithm is newly proposed by using improved lane detection algorithm through real time post-processing with interpolation methodology. Since the original pure pursuit works well only at speeds below 20 km/h, the look-ahead distance is implemented as a sigmoid function to work well at an average speed of 45 km/h to improve tracking performance. In addition, a smoothing filter was added to reduce the steering angle vibration of the original algorithm, and the stability of the steering angle was improved. The post-processing algorithm presented has implemented more robust lane recognition system using real-time pre/post processing method with deep learning and estimated interpolation. Real time processing is more cost-effective than the method using lots of computing resources and building abundant datasets for improving the performance of deep learning networks. Therefore, this paper also presents improved lane detection performance by using the final results with naive computer vision codes and pre/post processing. Firstly, the pre-processing was newly designed for real-time processing and robust recognition performance of augmentation. Secondly, the post-processing was designed to detect lanes by receiving the segmentation results based on the estimated interpolation in consideration of the properties of the continuous lanes. Consequently, experimental results by utilizing driving guidance line information from processing parts show that the improved lane detection algorithm is effective to minimize the lateral offset error in the diverse maneuvering roads.

Real-time video streaming scheme for multimedia content delivery and remote conference services is one of technologies that are significantly sensitive to data transmission delay. Recently, because of COVID-19, real-time video streaming contents for the services are significantly increased such as personal broadcasting and remote school class. In order to support the services, there is a growing emphasis on low transmission delay and secure content delivery, respectively. Therefore, our research proposed a packet aggregation algorithm to reduce the transmission delay of selectively encrypted video transmission for real-time video streaming services. Through the application of the proposed algorithm, the selectively encrypted video framework can control the amount of MPEG-2 TS packets for low latency transmission with a consideration of packet priorities. Evaluation results on testbed show that the application of the proposed algorithm to the video framework can reduce approximately 11% of the transmission delay for high and low resolution video.
