Testing and validation processes are critical tasks in developing a new hardware platform based on a new technology. This paper describes a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of a newly developed MEMS-based wireless sensor node as part of a wireless sensor network (WSN). The sensor node consists of a sensor board with four accelerometers, a thermometer and filtering and digitization units, and a MICAz mote for control, local computation and communication. The experiments include calibration and linearity tests for all sensor channels on the sensor boards, dynamic range tests to evaluate their performance when subjected to varying excitation, noise characteristic tests to quantify the noise floor of the sensor board, and temperature tests to study the behavior of the sensors under changing temperature profiles. The paper also describes a large-scale deployment of the WSN on a long-span suspension bridge, which lasted over three months and continuously collected ambient vibration and temperature data on the bridge. Statistical modal properties of a bridge tower are presented and compared with similar estimates from a previous deployment of sensors on the bridge and finite element models.

The Quality Assurance System proposed in this study is based on the functional deployment of quality, which is an integration of the FAST(Functional Analysis System Techique) in VE(Value Engineering) and the Quality Development Method of TQC(Total Quality Control). The proposed Quality Function Deployment is proved to be an efficient tool for the consistent management of quality Assurance in every stages of product life cycle. The purpose of this study is therefore to develop practical and systematic methods for quality assurance activities, so as to satisfy the consumer's needs at the most economic level. To verify the feasibility of this approch, a case study is performed.

According to the OECD/NEA estimates, nuclear power plants (NPPs), whether with a large reactor or with small modular reactors (SMRs), are competitive with many other electricity generation technologies in a significant number of cases, one of the exceptions being natural gas in the USA with the current level of prices. However, SMRs have particular features and requirements setting conditions for their deployment. This paper presents the preliminary analysis by OECD/NEA of the economics, opportunities, and market for small nuclear reactors.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to integrate text mining and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to automatically extract valuable information from customer reviews, thereby establishing a QFD frame- work to confirm genuine customer needs for New Product Development (NPD). Methods: Our approach combines text mining and QFD through topic modeling and sentiment analysis on a large data set of 56,873 customer reviews from Zappos.com, spanning five running shoe brands. This process objectively identifies customer requirements, establishes priorities, and assesses competitive strengths. Results: Through the analysis of customer reviews, the study successfully extracts customer requirements and translates customer experience insights and emotions into quantifiable indicators of competitiveness. Conclusion: The findings obtained from this research offer essential design guidance for new product develop- ment endeavors. Importantly, the significance of these results extends beyond the running shoe industry, presenting broad and promising applications across diverse sectors.

Mobile multi-hop relaying (MMR) technology is being considered as a promising solution capable to enhance coverage, user throughput, and system capacity of the current wired backbone dependent wireless access networks. Since the relaying nodes do not need a wired backbone access, MMR technology offers easy and low-cost deployment, flexible cell planning, and adaptive traffic handling performance. In this paper, we investigate performance and cost effectiveness of the MMR technology deployment in the IEEE802.16j based WiBro/WiMAX systems. We first introduce standardization activities and research issues of MMR WiBro/ WiMAX systems. Since the coverage extension problem may occur in metropolitan areas as well as suburban or rural areas where user density is relatively low or moderate, we introduce several MMR topologies and analyze cost-effectiveness of MMR based coverage extension with respect to the user traffic density. Then, we argue cost effect on MMR technology deployment and throughput performance, Finally, we introduce further study issues including sectorized base station based MMR deployment approaches and the single and multi-frame structure MMR approaches.

무선센서네트워크 기술은 환자의 생체신호를 측정하고 전송할 수 있도록 도와 다양한 메디컬과 헬스케어 솔루션을 제공한다. 그러나 무선센서네트워크 기반의 데이터 신뢰성은 센서노드의 하드웨어 리소스 제약으로 인해서 헬스케어 라우팅 프로토콜에 상당한 영향 미칠 수 있다. 이러한 이유 때문에 본 연구에서는 무선센서네트워크 환경에서 헬스케어 시스템에 적용 가능한 모바일 헬스케어 라우팅 프로토콜에 성능향상을 시킬 목적으로 RF 세기, 배터리 상태, 배치 상태 등의 조건을 이용하여 다양한 통신실험을 수행하였다. 이 실험은 노드 간 거리와 수신율의 관점에서 몇몇 중요한 파라멘트를 획득하기 위해서 수행하였다. 배터리 상태와 RF 세기와의 관계, 노드 배치 상태와 RF 세기와의 관계 등에 따라 최적 통신 거리를 평가하고, 또한 노드 간 배치 상태와 RF 세기 따른 패킷 수신율 평가하였다. 이 실험결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서 개발한 모바일 헬스케어 라우팅 프로토콜의 최적 노드 전력제어 및 배치 방법을 제안하였다.

This paper presented the design of SRPS, ground function test, and the deployment test on a high speed taxi of KC-100 airplane. KAI has developed a spin recovery system in collaboration with Airborne Systems for KC-100 general aviation airplane. Spin mode analysis, rotary balance and forced oscillation tests were performed to obtain the rotational, dynamic derivatives in the preliminary design phase. Prior to the detailed design process of SRPS, approximations for initial estimation of design parameters- fineness ratio, parachute porosity, parachute canopy filling time, and deployment method- were considered. They were done based on the analytical disciplines such as aerodynamics, structures, and stability & control. SRPS consists of parachute, tractor rocket assembly for deployment, attach release mechanism (ARM) and cockpit control system. Before the installation of SRPS in KC-100 airplane, all the control functions of this system were demonstrated by using SBTB(System Breakout Test Box) in the laboratory. SBTB was used to confirm if it can detect faults, and simulate the firing of pyrotechnic devices that control the deployment and jettison of SRPS. Once confirmed normal operation of SRPS, deployment and jettison of parachute on the high speed taxiing were performed.

국가와 도시가 급속히 발전할수록 국민생활에 필요한 기반시설물들과 관리 체계는 날로 복잡해지고, 이를 체계적으로 건설하고 유지하는 비용과 노력이 기하급수적으로 증가한다. 본 연구에서는 국가기반시설물 중 도시지상시설물을 무선 센서 네트워크로 관리하기 위해 센서노드를 설치하는 방법을 제시하였다. 먼저, 1차 분석으로 관리 대상 및 방법을 도출하여 센싱 커버리지를 만든 후, 이를 도시지상시설물에 센서노드 설치에 적용하였다. 그리고 2차 분석을 통하여 중복설치 문제의 해결 방안을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법과 수치지도를 활용하여 GIS 프로그램을 구현하였으며, 항공사진과의 중첩을 통해 관리의 방법에 현실성을 향상시켰다. 개발된 프로그램을 사용하여, 한국건설기술연구원 주변 지형에 대해 센서노드 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 중복 설치된 센서노드를 약 50% 제거하였으며, 도로를 따라 센서노드가 골고루 배치된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a pneumatic device for the deployment performance verification of canards deployed by inertia has been designed and the performance of the pneumatic device has been proven through analysis and tests. The pneumatic conveying process, orifice opening process and piston movement process of the pneumatic device were investigated by using numerical methods. The orifice diameter, pressure in a pressure tank and type of gas were regarded as the main design parameters of the pneumatic device. The error rate between analysis and test results under the same conditions was within 4 %. The accuracy of numerical methods used in this study were validated.

The objective of this study is to devise an accident scenario analysis method adept at creating accident scenarios at the Preliminary Hazard Analysis(PHA) step of a hazard analysis for railway system. This approach was inspired by the Quality Function Deployment(QFD) method, which is conventionally used in quality management and was used at the systematic accident scenario analysis(SASA) for the design of safer products. In this study, the QFD provides a formal and systematic schema to devise accident scenarios while maintaining objective. The accident scenario analysis method first identifies the hazard factors that cause railway accidents and explains the situation characteristics surrounding the accident. This method includes a feasibility test, a clustering process and a pattering process for a clearer understanding of the accident situation. Since this method enables an accident scenario analysis method to be performed systematically as well as objectively, this method is useful in building better accident prevention strategies. Therefore, this study can serve to reduce railway accident and be an effective tool for a hazard analysis.
