Switch rail is a very important part on the railway track, which not only accounts for the safety of the passing trains but also greatly influences the speed of the train. The higher the speed and the loads of the train the more it demands on the properties of the switch rail. Research shows that the higher mechanical properties of switch rail the longer the service life. Induction heat treatment is a good way of improving the mechanical properties of metallic materials. But the switch rail's section area changes gradually across the lengthways, which is difficult for induction heating especially for the small section. And the mechanical property of small section of the switch rail is the most important for its service life. The induction heat treatment used past always brings the low hardness on small section which can cause low service life of switch for wearing, or too high hardness because of martensite microstructure which can cause the shelling or even breaking of the switch rail. To prolong the service life of switch rail by higher mechanical properties, we researched the improved induction heat treatment for switch rail by adjusting speed of heating, and adopting compressed air cooling. The results showed that switch rail obtain almost the same high hardness across the length way after the improved induction heat treatment, which is very helpful to extend the service life of switch rail.

A limit switch box is used for an indicator of a valve actuator. This device indicates an opening and closing of a valve or a throttle in the valve actuator. In a ship, equipments require safety and robustness because of a rough environment and a specific condition during a voyage. However, the limit switch box has been used in an indoor environment generally. This study developed a new limit switch box which can be used at an outdoor environment. This study designed the new limit switch box. The housing of the limit switch box was made by an aluminum die cast method with surface painting after anodizing or chromate coating. In order to evaluate the endurance of the housing, the endurance tests against salt water have been conducted. Experiment results showed that the proposed device provides a reliable performance against salt water.

대다수 나노위성은 발사관에 수납되어 발사되며 발사관 내부의 나노위성은 수납 중에는 전원이 꺼진 상태로 보관되다가 전개와 동시에 전원이 인가된다. 이를 위하여 나노위성은 전개스위치를 필수로 장착하고 있다. 대부분의 나노위성의 전개스위치는 위성의 부팅을 담당하는 전기 스위치와 그를 조작하는 기계적 조립체로 구성된다. 위성은 본체 내부에 전기 스위치를 갖추고 있으며, 이를 누르는 기계적 구조를 통해 외부에서 스위치를 조작한다. 이러한 설계는 기계적 복잡도를 높이고 누름쇠와 본체와의 마찰과 같은 문제로 확실한 작동을 보장하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본문에서는 이의 대안으로 전기스위치를 본체 바깥에 장착하여 직접 외부와 접촉하는 방식과 그 구현 사례를 소개하며 나노위성 전개스위치 구현에 관한 새로운 방법론을 제안하고자 한다.

To reduce the chattering errors of reed switch sensors used for automatic remote measurement of water supply system, a reed switch sensor was analyzed and improved. The operation of reed switch sensors can be described as a mechanical contact by approximation of permanent magnet piece to generate an electrical pulse. The reed switch sensors are used in measurement application by detecting the rotational or translational displacement. To apply for flow measurement devices, the reed switch sensors should keep high reliability. They are applied for the electronic digital type of water flow meters. The reed switch sensor is just installed simply on the mechanical type flow meter. A small magnet is attached on a pointer of the water meter counter rotor. Inside the reed sensor, two steel leaf springs make mechanical contact and apart as rotation of flow meter counter. The counting electrical contact pulses can be converted as the water flow amount. The MCU sends the digital flow rate data to the server using the wireless communication network. But it occurs data difference or errors by chattering noise. The reed switch sensor contains chattering error by it self at the force equivalent position. The vibrations such as passing car near to the switch sensor installed location. In order to reduce chattering error, most system uses just software methods for example using filter and also statistical calibration methods. The chattering errors were reduced by changing leaf spring structure using mechanical hysteresis characteristics.

This paper presents the development of the optical switch using magnetic behavior of magnetic fluids, which is expected to be used broadly in high-speed information communication. The magnetic fluids for switching an incident light, have the magnetic characteristics of magnetic materials and fluidity of liquids, simultaneously. The relations are derived between the intensity of magnetic field and the angle of optical fiber which is bent by a behavior of magnetic fluid when the magnetic field is applied. When optical switch is implemented by the movement of liquid using magnetic fluid, the existing problem of durability for optical switch will be improved. Thus, this study shows the feasibility of the application for the optical switches using magnetic fluids.

Recently, the nine-switch inverter has been proposed as a dual output inverter. To date, studies on the control strategies for NSIs have been mostly combined with their application. However, in this paper, a mathematical model and control strategy for nine-switch inverters has been proposed in view of the topology. A switching function model and equivalent circuit model of a nine-switch inverter have been built in ${\alpha}{\beta}$ coordinates. Then, a novel current observer with an improved integrator is proposed based on the switching function model, and a direct power control strategy is proposed. No current sensors are used in the proposed strategy, and only two voltage sensors are employed. The performance of the proposed control method is verified by simulation and experimental results.

Circuit breakers are a crucial factor in ensuring the safety of a Direct Current (DC) grid. One type of DC circuit breaker, the Z-source DC circuit breaker (ZCB), uses a thyristor, which is a type of semiconductor switch. In the event of a fault in the circuit, the ZCB isolates the fault by generating a zero crossing current in the thyristor. The thyristor quickly and actively isolates the fault while generating a zero crossing current, but thyristor switch cannot control turn-off and the allowable current is lower than the current of the mechanical switch. Therefore, it is best to use a mechanical switch with a high allowable current capacity that is capable of on/off control. Due to the slow reaction time of mechanical switches, they may not isolate the fault during the zero crossing current time interval created by the existing circuit. In this case, the zero crossing current time can be increased by using the property that hinders the rapid change in the current of the inductor. This paper will explore whether adding system inductance to increase the zero crossing current time interval is a solution to this problem. The simulation of changing inductor and capacitor (LC) of the circuit is repeated to find an optimal change in the zero crossing current time according to the LC change and provides an inductor and capacitor range optimized for a specific load. The inductor and capacitor range are expected to provide optimization information in the form LC values for future applications of ZCB's using a mechanical switch.

상수도 원격 검침에서는 리드 스위치의 채터링 오차를 감소시키기 위한 센서 연구 및 개선이 필요하다. 센서의 동작은 전기적 펄스를 발생시키기 위한 영구 자석 주각의 접근에 의한 기계적 접촉스위치처럼 나타낼 수 있다. 대부분 회전 또는 전달 이동을 잡기 위해 사용되고 수류 측정 장치에 적용하기 위해서는 높은 신뢰성이 필수이다. 동작 형태를 간단히 설명하게 되면 미터기 작동 모터 끝에 달려있는 작은 자석이 미터기 회전에 의해 리드 스위치 내부에 있는 두 개의 스프링과 기계적 접촉 형식으로 반복적으로 떨어지게 된다. 즉 수류량에 따라 펄스의 수가 증가하는 것이다. 이렇게 측정된 값은 무선 이동 통신을 통해 서버로 전달되게 된다. 문제는 자석과 리드 스위치가 만나는 지점에서 스위치가 멈추게 되면 떨리면서 펄스가 잘못 올라가는 오차가 생기는 것이다. 이러한 오차를 감소시키기 위해 보통 소프트웨어적인 방법을 사용한다. 필터 알고리듬을 사용하는것과 통계적인 보정방법을 사용하는 것이 그러한 예이다. 하지만 그러한 방법보다는 하드웨어적으로 문제를 해결하는 것이 오차를 줄일 수 있는 더 직접적인 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 기계적인 이력현상의 특성을 이용하여 리프 스프링 구조의 변화로 오차를 감소시키는 연구를 수행하였다.
