In this paper, we present the method that improve alarm security system using the electronic circuits added the emergency lamp by our proposed Algorithms. In conventional method the emergency lamp of warning & alarm system didn't work perfectly its performance because of battery with short life. For improving this problem we, using Peripheral Interface Controller IC, designed the circuit added the emergency lamp for an warning & alarm system and for prevention against stopping the electric current, and compared our proposed method with conventional method. By designing the circuit to stop up over charge we can extend life of battery, use for a stoppage of electric current in emergency and according to the lightness around. Therefore we are very convenient and profitable in our life. In the future we will study the method to lower the cost of architecture for practical utilization.

For the emergency detecting in general CCTV environment of our daily life, the monitoring by only images through CCTV information occurs some problems especially in cost as well as man power. Therefore, in this paper, for detecting emergency state dynamically through CCTV as well as resolving some problems, we propose our advanced speech recognition system. For the purpose of it, we adopt HMM(Hidden Markov Model) in our system to do a feature extraction. Also, we adopt Wiener filter technique for noise elimination in many information coming from on CCTV environment. In this paper, our system send only the emergency speech information to a manager to deal with emergency state effectively.

Recently, various studies have been conducted to apply deep learning and AI to various fields of autonomous driving, such as recognition, sensor processing, decision-making, and control. This paper proposes a controller applicable to path following, static obstacle avoidance, and pedestrian avoidance situations by utilizing reinforcement learning in autonomous vehicles. For repetitive driving simulation, a reinforcement learning environment was constructed using virtual environments. After learning path following scenarios, we compared control performance with Pure-Pursuit controllers and Stanley controllers, which are widely used due to their good performance and simplicity. Based on the test case of the KNCAP test and assessment protocol, autonomous emergency steering scenarios and autonomous emergency braking scenarios were created and used for learning. Experimental results from zero collisions demonstrated that the reinforcement learning controller was successful in the stationary obstacle avoidance scenario and pedestrian collision scenario under a given condition.

In this paper, author proposes to a fuel cell generation system used to fire prevention installation at emergency. The proposed system is used with a power source of fire prevention installation in preparation for breaking of commercial power supply at emergency. A part of most power loss of the fuel cell generation system is power converter. And the major losses of power converter are switching losses of power semiconductor switches used to power conversion. This parer is designed with a high efficiency power converter of non isolated type in order to increase efficiency of fuel cell power system. The controlling switches used in power conversion system are operated with soft switching, which is applied to partial resonant method to reduce switching loss. The result is that the fuel cell power system gets to high efficiency. Some computer simulated results and experimental results are confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

In order to provide the necessary operation flexibility during the Nuclear power operation, the extension of existing allowed outage time(AOT) is needed. The extension of AOT affects the Nuclear power plant safety. The validity of changed technical specification requirements should be proved by the safety assessments. In this paper, we evaluated the extension of emergency diesel generator AOT for a single inoperable emergency diesel generator(EDG) from 3days to 7days, 10days and 14days. Finally, the AOT extension contributes the NPP performances through decreasing the unexpected plant trips, reinforcing maintenance and avoiding risks due to unnecessary operation mode changes when the NPP is under the surveillance tests or maintenance.

In the nuclear power plant, emergency core coolant system(ECCS) is furnished at reactor coolant system(RCS) in order to cool down high temperature water in case of emergency. However, in this coolant system, it occurs thermal stratification phenomena in case that there is the mixing of cooling water and high temperature water due to valve leakage in ECCS. This thermal stratification phenomena raises excessive thermal stresses at pipe wall. Therefore, this phenomena causes the accident that reactor coolant flows in reactor containment in the nuclear power plant due to the deformation of pipe and thermal fatigue crack(TFC) at the pipe wall around the place that it exists. Hence, in order to fundamental identification of this phenomena, it requires the experimental research of modeling test in the pipe flow that occurs thermal stratification phenomena. So, this paper models RCS and ECCS pipe arrangement and analyzes the mechanism of thermal stratification phenomena by measuring of temperature in variance with leakage flow rate in ECCS modeled pipe and Reynold number in RCS modeled pipe. Besides, results of this experiment is compared with computational analysis which is done in advance.

Purpose: This study was to propose effective deployment of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) installed at general supermarkets. Research design, data, and methodology : We conducted interview and data surveys on 72 large distributors in Seoul and Gyeonggi province in South Korea. The content of this survey was consisted of general status on the general supermarkets, AED deployment and management regarding public access defibrillation (PAD). G^⁎Power (v 3.1.9.4; Universität Kiel, Kiel, Germany) was also used to analyze statistical power. Radius and actual distance, radius and retrieval time were compared by t-test at α=.05. respectively. Results : Difference between the radius (102.7 meters) and the actual distance (187.8 meters) was 85.1m, it had statistically significant difference (p<.001). The actual distance was longer compared to the radius distance. Difference between the radius (114.1 seconds) and the retrieval time (208.7 seconds) was 94.6s, it had statistically significant difference (p<.001). The retrieval time took longer compared to the radius time as well. Conclusions : The finding shows that only 45.9% of the general supermarkets are satisfied with the actual AED coverage within 3 minutes. This needs to enhance AED deployment to reduce defibrillation time and AED management to boost application in South Korea.
