  • 클럭 펄스에 동기 되어 동작하는 임베디드 마이크로컨트롤러는 미션 크리티컬한 응용환경에서 입력 클럭에 가해지는 급격한 전기적 왜란의 영향에 의해 오동작이 발생되기 쉽다. 다양한 외부 전기적 노이즈에 대한 내성 있는 시스템 동작이 요구되며 시스템 클럭 관점에서 견고한 회로 디자인 기술이 점차 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시스템의 비이상적인 상황을 방지하기 위해 자동 클럭 에러 검출을 위한 온 칩클럭 컨트롤러 구조를 제안한다. 이를 위해 에지 검출기, 노이즈 제거기와 글리치 프리 클럭 스위칭 회로를 적용하였고, 에지 검출기는 입력 클럭의 비이상적인 저주파수 상태를 검출하는데 사용 되었으며, 딜레이 체인 회로를 이용한 클럭 펄스의 노이즈 제거기는 글리치 성분을 검출 할 수 있도록 하였다. 이렇게 검출된 입력 클럭의 비이상적인 상황은 글리치 프리 클럭 변환기에 의해 백업 클럭으로 스위칭하게 된다. 회로 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 백업 클럭 변환기의 동작을 검증하였고 테스트환경에서 방사노이즈를 인가하였을 때 시스템 클럭의 내성에 대한 주파수 특성을 평가하였다. 본 기법을 범용 MCMCU 구조에 추가적으로 적용하여 작은 하드웨어의 추가만으로도 시스템 클럭의 안전성을 확보하는 하나의 방법을 제시한다.

  • The major causes of electrical fire in low-voltage distribution lines are classified into short-circuit fault, overload fault, electric leakage, and electric contact failure. The special principal factor of the fire is electric arc or spark accompanied with such electric faults. This paper studies the development of an electric fire prevention system with detection and alarm of that in case of parallel arc fault occurrence in low-voltage distribution lines. The proposed system is designed on algorithm sensing the instantaneous voltage drop of line voltage at arc fault occurrence. The proposed detector has characteristics of high-speed operation responsibility and superior system reliability from composition using a large number of semiconductor devices. A new sensing control method that shows the detection of parallel arc fault is sensed to ripple voltage drop through a diode bridge full-wave rectifier at electrical accident occurrence. Some experimental tests of the proposed system also confirm the practicality and validity of the analytical results.

  • Purpose: The diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is often difficult, as its clinical and biological manifestations are non-specific in children. If not treated quickly and adequately, however, APN may cause irreversible renal damage, possibly leading to hypertension and chronic renal failure. We were suspecting the diagnostic value of $^{99m}Tc$-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan by experiences and so compared the results of DMSA scan to those of multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT). Methods: We retrospectively selected and analyzed 81 patients who were diagnosed as APN by MDCT during evaluation of their acute abdomen in emergency room and then received DMSA scan also for the diagnostic work-up of APN after admission. We evaluated the results of imaging studies and compared the diagnostic value of each method by age groups, <2 years (n=45) and ${\geq}$2 years (n=36). Results: Among total 81 patients with MDCT-proven APN, DMSA scan was diagnostic only in 55 children (68%), while the remaining 26 children (32%) showed false negative normal findings. These 26 patients were predominantly male and most of them, 19 (73.1%) were <2 years of age. Conclusion: DMSA scan holds obvious limitation compared to MDCT in depicting acute inflammatory lesions of kidney in children with APN, especially in early childhood less than 2 years of age. MDCT showed hidden lesions of APN, those were undetectable through DMSA scan in children.

  • 본 논문에서 원전의 핵연료 다발의 중섬자속을 측정할 수 있는 노내중성지속 감시계통의 구동모터를 제어하기 위한 스위치의 오동작 원인 분석 및 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 노내중성자속 감시계동은 검출기 안내관을 통해 검출기가 노심으로 삽입되거나 인출될 경우 접점선호를 발생하는 기계식 스위치레버를 장착하고 있다. 그러나 기계적인 열화나 환경적인 요인에 의해 기계식 스위치레버의 특성이 점점 변화되어 마침내 잘못된 접점신호를 발생하게 된다. 그러므로 아들 문제 해결을 위해 기계식 스위지 대선 전자식 스위치를 검출기 안내관 밖에 배치하였고, 공진효과를 이용하여 점점신호를 발생하는 회로개선과 소음 및 전기적 방해를 방지하기 위한 콘데서를 전자회로 전원 입력측에 설치하였다. 이러한 개선을 완료한 후, 여러 조건하에서 이 향상된 스위치 제어회로를 반복적으로 시험하였는데, 결국 이를 통해 원하는 접점신호를 얻게되었을 뿐 아니라 발전소 정상운전 중에 관련시스템의 주기시험을 통해서도 검출기 접점 오동작 신호가 발생되지 않음울 확인할 수 있게 되었다.

  • This paper presented a case study on the application of on-line wear monitoring technique to a high duty air-turbo-compressor system. Main objects monitored were a gear unit and metal bearings, both shown frequent troubles due to the severe operation conditions at heavy dynamic load. The air-turbo-compressor system needs secure condition monitoring because it is one of the main utilities in steel making industry. Temperature and vibration characteristics have been mainly on-line monitored in this system for a predictive maintenance; however, it has been shown that they are not fairly good enough to give an early warning prior to the machine failure. In this work, an on-line Opto Magnetic Detector(OMD) was implemented for an on-line wear monitoring, which quantitatively measured the contamination level of both ferrous and non-ferrous wear particles by detecting the change in optical density of used oil. Results showed that the application of on-line OMD system was satisfactory in diagnosis of the machine system.

  • 선출 프로토콜은 프로세스들의 그룹 통신, 데이터베이스의 원자성 완료와 복제된 데이터의 관리 등의 조정자(coordinator)가 이용 될 수 있는 많은 실질적인 문제를 해결하는데 하나의 기본적인 구성 요소로 이용 될 수 있다. 이 문제는 여러 연구단체에서 포괄적으로 연구 되어왔던 바, 이렇게 주된 연구 관심 영역이 된 하나의 이유는 많은 분산 프로토콜들이 하나의 선출 프로토콜을 필요로 하기 때문이다. 그러나 이러한 유용성에도 불구하고, 우리가 알기에는 이동 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서 이러한 문제를 다룬 연구는 아직 없었다. 이동 분산 시스템은 기존의 분산 시스템 보다 훨씬 더 실패(failure)의 가능성이 높다. 그러한 환경에서 다수의 움직이는 노드들(nodes)로부터 선출의 문제를 해결하는 것은 움직이는 노드의 많은 실패(failure)에도 불구하고 하나의 모바일 노드가 우선순위에 의하여 리더로 선출 될 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이동 분산 컴퓨팅 시스템에서 선출 문제에 대한 하나의 해결 방안을 제시 한다. 이 해결 방안은 Group Membership Detection 알고리즘에 바탕을 두고 있다.

  • The dependence of numerous systems on electronic devices is causing rapidly increasing concern over fault tolerance because of safety issues of safety critical system. As an example, a vehicle with electronics-controlled system such as x-by-wire systems, which are replacing rigid mechanical components with dynamically configurable electronic elements, should be fault¬tolerant because a devastating failure could arise without warning. Fault-tolerant systems have been studied in detail, mainly in the field of aeronautics. As an alternative to solve these problems, this paper presents the fuzzy hybrid redundancy system that can remove most erroneous faults with fuzzy fault detection algorithm. In addition, several numerical simulation results are given where the fuzzy hybrid redundancy outperforms with general voting method.

  • Insulation failure of traction motor stator coil depends on the continuous stress imposed on it and knowing its insulation condition is an issue of significance for proper safety operation. In this paper, application of the NN (Neural Network) as a scheme of the off-line PD (partial discharge) diagnosis method that occurs at the stator coil of a traction motor was studied. For PD data acquisition, three defective models were made; internal void discharge model, slot discharge model and surface discharge model. PD data for recognition were acquired from a PD detector. Statistical distributions and parameters were calculated to perform recognition between model discharge sources. These statistical distribution parameters are applied to classify PD sources by the NN with a good recognition rate on the discharge sources.

  • In this paper, to overcome the failure of binarization for the characters suffered from low contrast and non-uniform illumination in license plate character recognition system, we improved the binarization method by combining local thresholding with global thresholding and edge detection. Firstly, apply the local thresholding method to locate the characters in the license plate image and then get the threshold value for the character based on edge detector. This method solves the problem of local low contrast and non-uniform illumination. Finally, back-propagation Neural Network is selected as a powerful tool to perform the recognition process. The results of the experiments i1lustrate that the proposed binarization method works well and the selected classifier saves the processing time. Besides, the character recognition system performed better recognition accuracy 95.7%, and the recognition speed is controlled within 0.3 seconds.
