False-tripping of MCCB(Molded Case Circuit Breaker) and ELB(Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker), using to protect overload and ground-fault accidents in power system raise direct and indirect losses like as information loss, facilities damage, slipup of goods production in industry place. Cause of false-tipping of MCCB and ELB is various and cause analysis of false-tripping is mostly made up by inference because trip is not reappeared. This paper investigated and analyzed causes and influences of false-tripping of MCCB and ELB by making up a question to safety managers of two hundred and eighteen electrical facilities for private use. Also, the necessity of experimental study on the effect of harmonics on false-tipping of MCCB and ELB was presented.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the ubiquitous thermal sensor unit for high voltage facilities. This sensor unit generates electric power from a current transformer which was mounted in the high voltage wires and transmitted thermal data by using a Zigbee module. We simulated the high voltage facilities that temperature was going up to $80^{\circ}C$ gradually. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that sensibility of the ubiquitous thermal sensor unit is in ranges from $-0.7^{\circ}C$ to $0.3^{\circ}C$.

In this paper we deal with a design of the evaluation system to assess the vehicle operational control algorithm for Personal Rapid Transit(PRT) system. PRT system is different from the conventional rail traffic system in such that the station is off-line so as to guarantee a very short headway. In this study we propose an evaluation system to assess the performance of the proposed vehicle control algorithm. The evaluation system is composed of virtual vehicles, central control system, virtual wayside facilities, monitoring equipments. The virtual vehicles are made up by the laptop computers and the central control system employs Power PC process of Motorola Inc. The wayside facilities are implemented by employing the PXI module of the National Instruments Corporation. In order to test the proposed evaluation system a test algorithm is used, which has been simulated in the combined simulation system between Labview Simulation Interface Toolkit and Matlab/Simulink.

This paper presents a self-sustaining system, and an effective method in enhancing overall energy efficiency. The proposed system consists of the two major nodes: a slave node, which contains the environment information (e.g., temperature, humidity, etc.); and a master node, which communicates with the slave nodes, and transmit the slave node's information to users. All slave nodes are under control of the master node. Each slave node uses two power sources: the piezoelectric power generator (PPG); and the continuous wave from the master node. The paper highlights the basic operational principle, each node's specifications, and experimental data for performance verification. The two nodes successfully communicate each other in a range of 3.3m (maximal range), where the user's computer is wired the master node.

Audiovisual (AV) facilities such as TVs and signage are installed in various public places. However, audio cannot be used to prevent noise and interference from individuals, which results in a loss of concentration and understanding of AV content. To address this problem, a total technique for remotely listening to audio from audiovisual facilities with clean sound quality while maintaining video and lip-syncing through personal smart mobile devices is proposed in this paper. Through the experimental results, the proposed scheme has been verified to reduce system power consumption by 8% to 16% and provide real-time processing with a low latency of 120 ms. The system described in this paper will contribute to the activation of audio telehearing services as it is possible to provide audio remote services in various places, such as express buses, trains, wide-area and intercity buses, public waiting rooms, and various application services.

An experimental study to evaluate structural capacity of an embedded plate connected with prestressed concrete beam was performed. Embedded steel plates and prestressed concrete beam were connected with stud-bolts at the ends of concrete beam specimens. About 1,000 kN concentrated load was applied at 450mm away from the end of beam specimen. A 3,000 kN capacity static Oil-jack was used to direct concentrated load. The maximum strain of stud-bolt recorded $90{\times}10^{-6}$(mm/mm) and wide width cracks were not founded. Any falling failures of concrete and large deformations were not founded either between steel plate and prestressed concrete specimen. As a result, construction performance can be improved using this embedded steel plate connection system apply to large space educational facilities.

This paper presents adaptive spread-spectrum watermarking scheme on the H.264/AVC video. The H.264/AVC has become popular video coding since it's compression performance has been improved greatly. That is why there is not enough space for embedding watermark using the spread-spectrum method. To overcome this problem, we propose selective block embedding scheme. The blocks which don't contain non-zero DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients are selected by value. So we have enough space to embed watermarks. Experimental result shows that proposed scheme improves recovery rates of watermark about 12% and reduces distortion of watermarked video.

This study performs the objective evaluation on simple comparison and calculation works by students under LED illumination conditions according to three types of color temperatures (7000K, 5000K, 3000K) in the classroom, Since the objective of this study is to develop an electric lighting conditions suitable for students in the classroom, the learning performance under three types of LED illumination conditions were analyzed. The 4 kinds of simple tests concerning with learning performance were developed and test results under natural light and LED illumination by 3 types of color temperatures were analyzed. There were differences by t-test in most cases among simple experiment results of different illumination conditions ($p{\leq}.05$). It was confirmed that illumination condition plays an important role when students simply compare words or perform arithmetic calculations. The experimental results of this study might be applied to designing better luminous environment.

Sewage facilities are positively necessary for environment improvement such as rainwater removal, sewage disposal, preservation of the quality of water and health of the citizens in present-day. Meanwhile, a deterioration of the concrete sewer facilities is increasing rapidly due to the chemical and physical attack and especially biochemical attack that is to say biodeterioration. In this study, to prevent biochemical corrosion of the sewer concrete, surface of the concrete was spread with liquefied organic and inorganic complex antibiotics and then its engineering properties were experimentally investigated

This paper proposes a method of a touch-based remote control and sensor information acquisition of a mobile robot using a smart phone. An application in a smart phone processes the acquired sensor information and conducts autonomous navigation. By touching the screen of the smart phone, a series of points obtained from designated curve traces are analyzed and provide control of a robot. This study develops a mobile application that acquires and handles data from a mobile robot and sends appropriate action commands through remote control using Bluetooth communication with a smart phone. The utility and performance of the proposed control scheme have been successfully verified through experimental tasks using an actual smart phone and a mobile robot.
