This paper investigates congestion detection and control strategies for multi-path traffic (CDCM) diss emination in lifetime-constrained wireless sensor networks. CDCM jointly exploits packet arrival rate, succ essful packet delivery rate and current buffer status of a node to measure the congestion level. Our objec tive is to develop adaptive traffic rate update policies that can increase the reliability and the network lif etime. Our simulation results show that the proposed CDCM scheme provides with good performance.

Fault diagnosis technique of electrical drives is becoming more and more important, since voltage fed converter system has become industrial standard in many applications. Many studies have been conducted an inverter fault diagnosis for induction motors. However, there are few researches about fault diagnosis of 3-phase ac/dc PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) converter compared to the dc/ ac inverter. The ac/dc converter is the opposite of dc/ac inverter at current flow. Also, inverter and converter have different current patterns under the same condition of IGBT (Insulated gate bipolar transistor) open switch fault. Therefore, it is difficult to apply intact diagnosis methods of inverter to the converter. This paper proposes modified fault detection methods for IGBT open switch fault in 3-phase ac/dc PWM converter by modifying established fault diagnostic methods for dc/ac inverters.

Digital images or videos are used in modern digital devices. The resolution of HDTV in digital broadcasting system is higher than that of previous analog systems. Also, mobile phone with 3G can provide images as well as video streaming services in realtime. In these circumstances, the visual quality of images has become an important factor. We can make image clear by transient improvement process that reduces transient in edges. In this paper, we present an transient improvement algorithm. The proposed algorithm improves edges by making smooth edge to steep edge. Before performing transient improvement algorithm, edge detection algorithm should be operated. Laplacian operator is used in edge detection, and the absolute value of it is used to calculate gain value. Then, local maximum and minimum values are computed to discriminate current pixel value to raise up or pull down. Compensating value that gain value multiplies with the difference between maximum (or minimum) value and current pixel value adds (or subtracts) to current pixel value. That is, improved signal is generated by making the narrow transient of edge. The advantage of proposed algorithm is that it doesn't produce shooting problem like overshoot or undershoot.

본 연구에서는 이동 객체 추적 시스템의 전처리 과정으로 움직임 영역을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 연속되는 영상으로부터 시간적으로 차이가 있는 두 개의 프레임을 얻은 후 이들의 이진 차영상을 구함으로서 움직임 영역을 검출한다. 차영상을 이용하는 경우 이전 프레임에서의 객체 영역과 현재 프레임에서의 객체 영역이 모두 검출된다. 추적 시스템에서는 카메라의 이동에 따라 배경이 변화되기 때문에 어느 영역이 객체의 현재 위치인지를 결정하는 방법이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 현재 프레임의 이진 에지영상을 구하고 이것을 차영상과 논리적인 AND 연산을 수행한다. 실험 결과 이동 객체의 움직임 영역을 정확히 검출할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

We investigate sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) of trace copper (Cu) metal using pristine carbon nanotube (CNT) and acidified CNT (ACNT) electrodes. Squarewave based anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) is used to determine the stripped Cu concentration. Prior to performing the SWASV measurements, its optimal conditions are determined and with that, effects of potential scan rate and $Cu^{2+}$ concentration on stripping current are evaluated. The measurements indicate that (1) ACNT electrode shows better results than CNT electrode and (2) stripping is controlled by surface reaction. In the given $Cu^{2+}$ concentration range of 25-150 ppb, peak stripping current has linearity with $Cu^{2+}$ concentration. Quantitatively, sensitivity and LOD of Cu in ACNT electrode are 9.36 ${\mu}A\;{\mu}M^{-1}$ and 3 ppb, while their values are 3.99 ${\mu}A\;{\mu}M^{-1}$ and 3 ppb with CNT electrode. We evaluate the effect of three different water solutions (deionized water, tap water and river water) on stripping current and the confirm types of water don't affect the sensitivity of Cu. It turns out by optical inspection and cyclic voltammetry that superiority of ACNT electrode to CNT electrode is attributed to exfoliation of CNT bundles and improved interfacial adhesion occurring during oxidation of CNTs.

수용가 시스템에서 발생하는 아크고장은 전기화재의 직접적인 원인이 되지만 기존의 고장검출 메커니즘으로는 확인이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전기화재의 주 원인이 되고 있는 아크고장의 원인을 분석하고 아크고장 기본 검출 메커니즘을 설계하였다. 또한 아크고장 판단의 정확도를 제고시킴으로써 오동작을 최소화할 수 있는 신호처리 기반의 아크고장 판단 방법론을 제안하였다. 끝으로, 하나의 돌입전류에 대해 이산 프리에 변환(DFT)과 이산 웨이블릿 변환(DWT)을 적용, 그 특성을 분석함으로써 신호척리 기반 고장판단 기법의 적용 방법론을 보였다.

This paper presents an experimental study on the optimal settings for the selected DC fault relay (50F) to improve the operating performance for the high-speed circuit breaker on DC feeding system which ensure safety within rolling stock maintenance depot. In this study, current supplied to overhead contact wire was calculated on 1 ms interval to analyze the correction values of DC fault selective relay for the operation of current supply cutout. Particularly, standards for the accurate detection of accidents between an electric railway vehicle and the electric power facilities are shown by investigating the optimal correction values for detection of fault current, and the results indicated that it takes about 213 ms for the DC fault selective relay(50F) to fully open. In the future, the correction values of DC fault selective relay suggested in this paper will be used as the reference values of protective relay for the safe operation of DC electric railroad system such as urban railway.

Digital twin technology can provide significant value for the prognostics and health management (PHM) of critical plant components by improving insight into system design and operating conditions. Digital twinning of systems can be utilized for anomaly detection, diagnosis and the estimation of the system's remaining useful life in order to optimize operations and maintenance processes in a nuclear plant. In this regard, a conceptual framework for the application of digital twin technology for the prognosis of Control Element Drive Mechanism (CEDM), and a data-driven approach to anomaly detection using coil current profile are presented in this study. Health management of plant components can capitalize on the data and signals that are already recorded as part of the monitored parameters of the plant's instrumentation and control systems. This work is focused on the development of machine learning algorithm and workflow for the analysis of the CEDM using the recorded coil current data. The workflow involves features extraction from the coil-current profile and consequently performing both clustering and classification algorithms. This approach provides an opportunity for health monitoring in support of condition-based predictive maintenance optimization and in the development of the CEDM digital twin model for improved plant safety and availability.

Railway wheels in service are regularly checked by ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission and eddy current testing method and so on. However, ultrasonic testing is sometimes inadequate for sensitively detecting the cracks in railway wheel which is mainly because of the fact of crack closure. Recently, many researchers have actively fried to improve precision for defect detection of railway wheel. The development of a nondestructive measurement tool for wheel defects and its use for the maintenance of railway wheels would be useful to prevent wheel failure. The induced current focusing potential drop(ICFPD) technique is a new non-destructive tasting technique that can detect defects in railway wheels by applying on electro-magnetic field and potential drops variation. In the present paper, the ICFPD technique is applied to the detection of surface and internal defects for railway wheels. To defect the defects for railway wheels, the sensor for ICFPD is optimized and the tests are carried out with respect to 4 surface defects and 6 internal defects each other. The results show that the surface crack depth of 0.5 mm and internal crack depth of 0.7 mm in wheel tread could be detected by using this method. The ICFPB method is useful to detect the defect that initiated in the tread of railway wheels

In order to protect human lives from disease, various biosensors having the potential to analyze a variety of biomolecules have been utilized. Biosensors constitute one of the most promising ways to monitor and detect various biomolecules corresponding to diseases. In this study, we demonstrate that the reaction of streptavidin molecules with biotin on a gold electrode can be detected using the twoelectrode method with a gold electrode and a platinum reference electrode. We also show the characteristics of the electrical current response. While detecting 2-${\mu}M$ streptavidin molecules dissolved in phosphate buffered saline(PBS) solution, we found that an analytical biosensor can operate on the principle of detecting an antigen-antibody reaction event of protein molecules using the two-electrode method. We think that the "potential step" method might be useful to detect the occurrence of any antigen-antibody reactions and can be combined with other devices or ICs such as BJTs, MOSFETs, and OP-amps for the detection of biomolecules of diseases.
