reliability from components reliability. In this case, it assumes that components failure is mutually independent, but it may not true in real systems. In this study, the mean cost per unit time is computed as the ratio of mean life to the mean cost. The mean life is obtained by the reliability function under power rule model. The mean cost is obtained by the mathematical model based on the inspection interval. A heuristic method is proposed to determine the optimal number of redundant units and the optimal inspection interval to minimize the mean cost per unit time. The assumptions of this study are as following : First, in the load-sharing k-out-of-n:G system, total loads are applied to the system and shared by the operating components. Secondly, the number of failed components affects the failure rate of surviving components as a function of the total load applied. Finally, the relation between the load and the failure rate of surviving components is set by the power rule model. For the practical application of the above methods, numerical examples are presented.

This paper describes a low frequency driven electromagnetic energy harvester (EMEH) which consists of a thin flame resistant (FR-4) planar spring, NdFeB permanent magnets, and a copper coil. The FR-4 spring was fabricated using a desk computer numerical control (CNC) 3D modeling machine. Mathematical modeling and ANSYS finite element analysis (FEA) were used totheoretically investigate the mechanical properties of the spring mass system. The proposed EMEH generates a maximum power of 65.33 ${\mu}W$ at a resonance frequency of 8 Hz with an acceleration of 0.2 g (1 g = 9.8 $m/s^2$) and a superior normalized power density (NPD) of 77 ${\mu}W/cm^3{\cdot}g^2$.

This paper proposes an efficient method of On-Line Economic Load Dispatch(ELD) using Evolutionary Programming(EP) technique at KwangYang steel works. The economic operation of steel works is done by experienced engineer. So far, there is no formulation and algorithm of economic operation of steel works. In this paper, we propose the formulation and On-Line algorithm of economic operation of steel works. The EP technique is the kind of Evolutionary Computation(EC), which has become a candidate for many optimization applications due to its flexibility and efficiency. Based on the EP technique, the proposed algorithm is capable of not only solving the economic problem, but also obtaining the global optimal solutions within reasonable execution time. To validate our proposed approach, the algorithm is demonstrated on many sample systems and compared to actual values of steel works.

In order to improve the system utility efficiency of energy conversion, it is desirable to operate the PV system at maximum power point of solar cell under versable condition. This paper describes the experimental results of the PV system that contains a solar modules and DC-DC converter(boost type chopper). The Simulation results show that the PV system always operate at maximum power point of solar cells having stabilize output voltage waveform with relatively small ripple component.

In this paper, Aperture-coupled microstrip array antenna was designed and manufactured for satellite communication at Ka-Band. We analyzed a microstrip radiation element and designed power divider using $\lambda$g/4 transformer and T-junction power divider. A manufactured Aperture-coupled $2\times2$ microstrip array antenna has a resonant frequency of 20 GHz. The experimental results are as followings : resonant frequency of 19.62 GHz, VSWR 1.0692, return loss -29.61 dB, Bandwidth 1.76 GHz and -3 dB beamwidth $42^{\circ}$.

Let γt(G) and τ(G) denote the total domination number and vertex cover number of graph G, respectively. In this paper, we study the total domination number of the central tree C(T) for a tree T. First, a relationship between the total domination number of C(T) and the vertex cover number of tree T is discussed. We characterize the central trees with equal total domination number and independence number. Applying the first result, we improve the upper bound on the total domination number of C(T) and solve one open problem posed by Kazemnejad et al..

본 연구에서는 rf PECVD(13.56MHz)법을 이용하여 $CH_4$가스에 소량의 보조가스($O_2$와 $N_2$)를 혼합하여 a-C:H 박막을 얻었다. 이렇게 얻어진 박막의 증착속도는 rf power 증가에 따라서 증가하다가 200W에서는 다시 감소하였으며, 산소와 질소가스의 유량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. FT-IR분석으로 계산된 박막내의 수소함량은 rf power 증가와 산소 및 질소첨가량의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 산소가스 첨가 시에는 C=O 결합이 생성되며, 질소가스 첨가 시에는 C=N 결합이 생성됨을 FT-IR 분석을 통하여 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 산소와 질소를 보조가스로 첨가할 경우에 스퍼터링 효과로 박막내의 수소함량 감소와 더불어 a-C:H 박막의 구조 변화를 일으킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Raman 분석결과 산소와 질소를 첨가함에 따라서 I(sub)D/I(sub)G비가 증가하였고, D line과 G line의 위치가 높은 파수 쪽으로 이동하였으며, D line의 폭은 넓어지는 반면에 G line의 폭은 감소됨을 보였다. 이것은 산소와 질소의 첨가로 박막내의 수소함량 감소, 결합각의 disorder 감소 및 micro-crystallite 흑연의 형성에 의한 것이라고 판단된다.

In this paper, EMI measurement, the STGU simulation being conducted, filter design, its characteristics, and its implementation to the PCB, and finally test results are discussed. When the low pass filter was implemented within the STGU, the power of EMI decreased more than 20dBm. Finally, when TE and MTIE, two important quality measure in synchronous reference clock, was assessed, ITU-T G813 requirement was satisfied. EMI(Electromagnetic Interface) is a measure of electomagnetic radiation from equipment in the range of 10KHz to 3GHz, and can cause unexpected reactions of electronics/electrical equipment. In this study, for safe and stable communication operation, a STGU (System Timing Generation Unit), which is a 2.5G SDH System and a major EMI source, was employed to simulate electromagnetic interface. Using Open-Site test, the power of fundamental frequency of EMI of interest and its harmonics were measured. Also, a low pass filter at cut-off frequency of 2GHz was specifically designed for this study to minimize the effect of EMI between electronic components.
