This paper proposes experimental results for control performance deterioration of a piezoelectric actuator under high temperature conditions due to external heat environment. In this work, a heat environment from 30 ℃ to 190 ℃ is established by a heat chamber which is capable of high temperature of heat environment. Inside the heat chamber, an experimental apparatus consisting of the stack type of piezoelectric actuator, laser sensor, gap sensor and temperature sensor is established. After evaluating temperature dependent blocking force, displacement and time response of a piezoelectric actuator inside the heat chamber, tracking control performances are evaluated under various temperature conditions via proportional-integral-derivative(PID) feedback controller. The desired position trajectory has a sinusoidal wave form with a fixed frequency. Control performances are experimentally evaluated at both room temperature and high temperature and presented in time domain.

Temperature dependences of electronic and thermal transport properties of narrow band gap thermoelectric materials are dependent on the transport behavior of minority carriers as well as majority carriers. Thus, weighted mobility ratio, which is defined the ratio of weighted mobility for majority carriers to that for minority carriers, must be one of the important parameters to enhance the performance of thermoelectric materials. Herein, we provided a practical guide for the development of high-performance Bi-Te-based thermoelectric materials based on the weighted mobility ratio control by considering theoretical backgrounds related to the electronic transport phenomena in semiconductors.

A magnetically levitating capsule train, which runs inside the sub-vacuum tube, can reach ultra-fast speeds by dramatically reducing the aerodynamic drag and friction. The capsule train uses the superconductor electrodynamic suspension (SC-EDS) method for levitation. The SC-EDS method has advantages, such as a large levitation gap and free of gap control, which could reduce the infra-construction cost. On the other hand, disadvantages, such as the large variation of the levitation-guidance gap and small damping characteristics in levitation-guidance force, could degrade the running stability and ride comfort of the capsule train. In this study, a dynamic analytical model of a capsule train based on the SC-EDS was developed to analyze the running dynamic characteristics. First, as important factors in the capsule train dynamics, the levitation and guidance stiffness in the SC-EDS system were derived, which depend non-linearly on the velocity and gap variation. A 3D dynamic analysis model for capsule trains was developed based on the derived stiffness. Through the developed model, the effects of the different running speeds on the ride comfort were analyzed. The effects of a disturbance from infrastructure, such as the curve radius, tube sag, and connection joint difference, on the running stability of the capsule train, were also analyzed.

There are a lot of curved subway stations in Seoul metropolitan area. These must be straightly constructed as many as possible. But some of stations are roundly designed and built in order to avoid pre-existed underground obstacle such as basement of high rise building, underground gas or water pipe line and subway stations from another line. As shown fig 1, one of the biggest problem occurring curved subway station is considered large gap between platform and vehicle when vehicle completely stop at the station. The gap potentially is in existence to subway passenger as very dangerous factors in rush hours. If passenger accidentally drop their food or leg between this gap when they get on the train and train leaves station, the passenger will be seriously injured by vehicle. In this paper, various design and instruments are introduced and best solution for this matter will be presented. In order to eliminate any possibility of accident happened gap between platform and vehicle, KRRI(Korea Railroad Research Institute) have been developed new safety instrument. These technologies were applied for patent by KRRI. These mechanisms will provide confidence as well as safety to Korean subway passenger

This paper discusses a method for optimizing the semi-actuated traffic signal control system by adjusting the initial interval according to the number of vehicles waiting for the green light in the actuated phase. We also present a Left-Turn actuated traffic signal control strategy that examines the vehicular noise in the detection area and determines the phase extension and the gap-out. In order to detect the vehicles in real-time, an image detector's Video Image Tracking technology was adopted. A 'Zone in Zone'method was implemented, and the image detection area is segmented into three zones: 1) Zone1 for verifying a vehicles obligatory presence, 2) Zone2 for counting the standby vehicles, and 3) Zone3 for examining the number of vehicles that have passed. The on-site assessment of the Left Turn Actuated Control is carried out using CORSIM, and the results show that the Control Delay decreased by 23.10%, 15.06%, and 4.34% compared to the delays resulted from pre-timed control, semi-actuated control-1 and semi-actuated control-2 traffic signal control systems respectively. The Queue Time also decreased by 36.24%, 20.10% and the Total Time by 14.36%, 7.02% for the same scenario. Which clearly demonstrates the operational efficiency. A sensitivity analysis reveals that the improvement from the propose traffic control strategy tends to increase as the through traffic volume reaches a saturated condition and the left-turn traffic volume decreases.

Small cells such as pico or femto cells are promising as a solution to cope with higher traffic explosion and the large number of users. However, the users within small cells are likely to suffer severe inter-cell interference (ICI) from neighboring base stations (BSs). To tackle this, several papers suggest BS transmit power on/off control algorithms which increase edge user throughput. However, these algorithms require centralized coordinator and have high computational complexity. This paper makes a contribution towards presenting fully distributed and low complex joint BS on/off control and user scheduling algorithm (FDA) by selecting on/off pattern of BSs. Throughput the extensive simulations, we verify the performance of our algorithm as follows: (i) Our FDA provides better throughput performance of cell edge users by 170% than the algorithm without the ICI management. (ii) Our FDA catches up with the performance of optimal algorithm by 88-96% in geometric average throughput and sufficiently small gap in edge user throughput.

New information technologies make it easy to access and acquire information in various ways. However, It also enable powerful and various threat to system security. To challenge these threats, various extended access control methods are being studied. We suggest a new extended access control method that make it possible to conform to security policies enforcement even with discrepancy between policy based constraints rules and query based constraints rules via their semantic relationship. New our approach derives semantic implications using tree hierarchy structure and coordinates the exceed privileges using semantic gap factor calculating the degree of the discrepancy. In addition, we illustrate prototype system architecture and make performance comparison with existing access control methods.

선박이나 산업 플랜트에서 파이프 또는 탱크류의 맞대기 용접 시 안정적인 이면비드의 형성은 매우 중요하다. 대부분의 현장에서 파이프 맞대기 초층용접부의 안정적인 이면비드를 형성하기 위해 3mm의 루트갭을 띄우고 루트면이 없는 V-그루브에서 필러를 사용하는 수동 TIG용접을 주로 사용하고 있다. 수동 TIG용접은 고품질의 비드와 우수한 아크안정성, 그리고 용접인자의 제어가 쉽다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 수동 TIG용접은 용접속도가 10cpm정도로 느리기 때문에 GMAW에 비해 생산성이 낮고 작업자의 숙련도에 따라 품질이 변하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 높은 생산성과 기준갭 1.5mm에서 단차의 허용공차를 크게 하기 위해 루트면 3mm를 가지는 U-그루브의 설계를 하였으며, 두꺼운 루트면을 가지는 그루브에서 안정적인 이면비드를 형성시키기 위해 GMAW에서 아크 충격량에 대한 검토를 실시하였다. GMAW의 아크력이 용입에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검토하기 위해 수냉되는 동판에 갭을 1.5mm 띄우고 동일한 용착량과 입열량에서 아크력만을 변화시켜 실험하였다. 또한, U-그루브의 루트부를 모델링하여 두께3t의 평판시편을 각각의 갭과 단차 조건에서 실험하였다. 이 때, 기준갭 1.5mm에서 갭에 의해 생기는 단면적을 기준 갭단면적, 갭이 증가함에 따라 증가되는 단면적을 추가 갭단면적, 갭이 감소함에 따라 감소하는 단면적을 감소 갭단면적으로 정의하였다. 용접 중 발생하는 추가, 감소 갭단면적에 대하여 용착량을 50%의 수준으로 증가, 감소 시켰다. 갭에 따라 아크력을 변경하여 실험을 실시하였고 이면비드의 형상을 확인 하였다. 마지막으로 평판 시편의 조건에서 안정적으로 이면비드가 형성된 조건을 pipe U-그루브에 적용하였다. 그 결과 동판에서 용착량과 입열량이 같음에도 불구하고 아크력이 증가함에 따라 용입이 깊어짐을 확인하였다. 또한. 3t 평판시편에서 아크력의 제어를 통해 큰 단차와 갭이 있을 때, 안정적인 이면비드를 얻을 수 있는 조건을 확립하였다. 마지막으로 pipe U-그루브에서 앞선 실험의 용접조건으로 갭과 단차의 변화에 대해 실험을 하였으나, 시험편의 두께차이에 의한 전도 열손실로 인해 이면비드의 형성이 어려웠고, 아크 충격량의 증가를 통해 이러한 문제를 해결하였다.
