HADAX is a serial communication converter of train control computer. It is connected with various signal equipments such as wayside signal equipments, station signal equipments, train control computers, and transmits control information and signal condition information for train control. And transmits information to several electronic interlocking devices through a splitter interface. Since HADAX interfaces with many signaling devices through serial communication, frequent communication connection faults necessitate improvement of performance such as dual system configuration, integration of external splitter, and multi-channelization of communication card. The improved HADAX device should have compatibility with the dimensions of existing enclosure and enclosure, and verify the performance of dual system and splitter integration. Therefore, we verified the performance of HADAX through the route control test, dual system test, and multi-channel communication test with splitter integrated connection by connecting with the existing signal equipment.

Due to the characteristics of the farmland in Korea, forward and reverse shift is the most used. The fatigue of farmers is caused by forward and reverse shifting with a manual transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the convenience of forward and backward shifting. This study was a basic study on the development of a current control system for forward and reverse shifting of agricultural tractors using proportional control valves and a controller. A test bench was fabricated to evaluate the current control accuracy of the control system, and the stability of the controller was evaluated through CPU (central processing unit) load measurements. A controller was selected to evaluate the stability of the proportional valve controller. The stability evaluation was performed by comparing and analyzing the command current of the controller and the actual current measured. The command current was measured using a CAN (controller area network) communication device and DAQ (data acquisition). The actual current was measured with a current probe and an oscilloscope. The control system and stability evaluation was performed by measuring the CPU load on the controller during control operations. The average load factor was 12.27%, and when 5 tasks were applied, it was shown to be 70.65%. This figure was lower than the CPU limit of 74.34%, when 5 tasks were applied and was judged to be a stable system.

In this paper, this is a study on the correction of protection relays to monitor temporary power facilities for storage tanks especially transformers to block and protect faults such as insulation breakdown. When an abnormality such as a short circuit or a ground fault occurs in the power system, it is important to detect this quickly cut off the device and equipment in which the fault occurred and separate it from the power system to correct the protection relay so that it does not interfere with power supply. In addition the fault current calculation that accurately applies the fault type and the cause of the fault for protection cooperation will be the most important factor in the correction of the protection relay. For protection coordination a study was conducted on the method of coordination for protection of power facility protection for storage tanks such as over current relay, ground over current relay, under voltage relay, and ground over voltage relay applied to temporary.

Background: The spinal nerves, which start at the lumbar level, are connected to the nerve innervation in the knees. Currently, there is a lack of research on the treatment of knee pain through lumbar mobilization. Objectives: To investigate the effects of lumbar joint mobilization (LJM) and transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation (TENS) on proprioception and muscular strength in volleyball players with chronic knee pain. Design: Two group pre-posttest. Methods: A total of 26 professional volleyball players with chronic knee pain were allocated to the LJM (n=13) and TENS (n=13) groups. In the LJM group, grade III - IV amplitude was applied 3 times for 1 minute (80 times per minute) at the affected lumbar (L2-3) facet joint in the prone position. In the TENS group, the TENS treatment device was used to directly apply or 15 minutes to the area of chronic knee pain (100 Hz, 150 ㎲). Proprioception was measured by knee flexion and extension angles, and muscle strength was evaluated using an isokinetic test. Measurements were taken before and after interventions. Results: In the eye opened conditiond, proprioception significantly increased during both knee extension and flexion after LJM, while only knee extension was significantly increased in the TENS group. There was also a significant difference in knee extension between the two groups. In the eye close conditiond, proprioception was significantly improved only during knee extension in the LJM group, and the difference in knee extension between the groups was also significant (P<.05). The maximum torque of the affected knee joint was significantly improved at 60°/sec in both groups (P<.05); however, there was no difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the maximum flexion torque within or between the groups. Conclusion: This study suggests that LJM improved proprioception and muscular strength in volleyball players with chronic knee pain.

Electrical failures and reliability problems of electronic components by ionic migration between adjacent device terminals have become an issue in automotive electronics. Especially unlike galvanic corrosion, ionic migration is occurred at high temperature and high humidity under applied electric field condition. Until now, although extensive studies of the ionic migrations dealing with PCBs, electrodes, and solders were reported, there is no study on the effect of insulation polymers and metallic fillers for ionic migration. In this research, therefore, ionic migration induced by the types and contents of polymers and metallic fillers, and variety conditions of temperature, humidity, and applied voltage was studied in detail. Ester and amide types of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and poly (phthalamide) (PPA) were used as base polymers, respectively and compounded with the metallic fillers of Copper iodide (CuI), Zinc stearate (Zn-st), or Calcium stearate (Ca-st) in various compositions. The compounding polymers were fabricated in IPC-B-24 of SIR test coupon according to ISO 9455-17 with Cu electrodes for ionic migration test. While there is no change in LCP-based samples, ionic migration in PPA compounding sample with a high water absorption property was accelerated in the presence of 0.25 wt% or above of CuI at the environmental conditions of 85℃, 85% RH and 48V. The dendritic short-circuit growth of Cu caused by ionic migration between the electrodes on the surface of compounded polymers was systematically observed and analyzed by using optical microscopy and SEM (EDX).

In this study, the process of providing information necessary to remove physical barriers such as road slopes that obstruct the activities of the disabled is in progress. Through experiments, we implement a quantified road surface roughness index that enables the implementation of IoT-based systems necessary for the elderly and the disabled to safely move to their destination. As a preliminary study, a road surface measurement device using a gyroscope was devised. To check the roughness and flatness of the road surface, X, Y displacement, and acceleration displacement were measured using a gyroscope. By calculating the measured data, the roughness and flatness of the road surface were quantified from 0 to 100. We implemented an algorithm that divides this index into 4 stages, displays it on a map, and provides it to users. Finally, a system for the disabled and elderly electric wheelchair users to secure basic mobility was established.

RAID-5 technology is one of the choice for flash storage device to enhance its reliability. However, RAID-5 has inherent parity update overhead, especially, parity overhead for partial stripe write is one of the crucial issues for flash-based RAID-5 technologies. In this paper, we design efficient parity log architecture for RAID-5 to eliminate runtime partial parity overhead. During runtime, partial parity is retained in buffer memory until full stripe write completed, and the parity is written with full strip write. In addition, parity log is maintained in memory until whole the stripe group is used for data write. With this parity log, partial parity can be recovered from the power loss. In the experiments, the parity log method can eliminate partial parity writes overhead with a little parity log writes. Hence it can reduce write amplification at the same reliability.

Arduino is one of the open source microcontroller projects, and Arduino boards using AVR microcontrollers are commonly used. In general, AVR microcontrollers use ISP (In System Programming) upload, but in Arduino, serial upload through a bootloader is basically used, and a dedicated microcontroller is built into the board for this purpose. In order to use the ISP upload in Arduino, a dedicated upload device is required, which is not included in the Arduino board. In this paper, we propose a unified programmer that can handle ISP upload and serial upload through one dedicated microcontroller, and show that ISP and serial upload are possible using the unified programmer. In addition, the proposed unified programmer works as a USB-serial converter, supports serial communication with a computer, and it is also possible to burn the Arduino bootloader. All operations of the unified programmer can be confirmed through the experimental results.
